guppetto Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 I have an Nvidia GForce 6600Gt Video card and I have the latest Nvidia driver istalled (Verion NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667), but i'm not getting close to the performance I should be geting out of this card in Linux. I'm running my desktop at a resolution of 1280x1024. My desktop is plenty fast, but when I run glxgears (I'm not resizing the default window that pops up), I get the following output: [guppetto@nsc69 ~]$ glxgears 2686 frames in 5.0 seconds = 537.200 FPS 2948 frames in 5.0 seconds = 589.600 FPS 2954 frames in 5.0 seconds = 590.800 FPS 2953 frames in 5.0 seconds = 590.600 FPS 2954 frames in 5.0 seconds = 590.800 FPS 2955 frames in 5.0 seconds = 591.000 FPS That just plain sucks! :o My Xorg.conf and the output of glxifo is listed below. Can anyone help me get my moneys worth from this card? I'm not sure what else I can tweak. xorg.conf has the following # File generated by XFdrake. # ********************************************************************** # Refer to the XF86Config man page for details about the format of # this file. # ********************************************************************** Section "Files" # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts.

guppetto Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Is AGP enabled? Try typing the following: cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status <{POST_SNAPBACK}> querying the AGP status produces the following: [guppetto@nsc69 ~]$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status Status: Enabled Driver: AGPGART AGP Rate: 8x Fast Writes: Disabled SBA: Enabled With regards to fast writes, in my bios I have two options, auto or disabled; I have selected auto. I don't know of a method of forcing fast writes to be active.

tyme Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 remove this: Option "DPMS" from your device section. I'm running the same card and I get: mark@einsiedler ~ $ glxgears29288 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5857.600 FPS 34316 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6863.200 FPS 34315 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6863.000 FPS 34063 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6812.600 FPS 34320 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6864.000 FPS 33924 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6784.800 FPS you results should be similar.

guppetto Posted August 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I'm seeing only a slight improvement after removing DPMS from the Device section. Here are my latest glxgears results. Something else has to be wrong. 2142 frames in 5.0 seconds = 428.400 FPS 3080 frames in 5.0 seconds = 616.000 FPS 3080 frames in 5.0 seconds = 616.000 FPS 3080 frames in 5.0 seconds = 616.000 FPS 2940 frames in 5.0 seconds = 588.000 FPS 2800 frames in 5.0 seconds = 560.000 FPS 2940 frames in 5.0 seconds = 588.000 FPS 2660 frames in 5.0 seconds = 532.000 FPS 2660 frames in 5.0 seconds = 532.000 FPS 3080 frames in 5.0 seconds = 616.000 FPS 2100 frames in 5.0 seconds = 420.000 FPS 1960 frames in 5.0 seconds = 392.000 FPS 3220 frames in 5.0 seconds = 644.000 FPS 3080 frames in 5.0 seconds = 616.000 FPS 2940 frames in 5.0 seconds = 588.000 FPS 2940 frames in 5.0 seconds = 588.000 FPS 2940 frames in 5.0 seconds = 588.000 FPS 3080 frames in 5.0 seconds = 616.000 FPS 2520 frames in 5.0 seconds = 504.000 FPS 3640 frames in 5.0 seconds = 728.000 FPS 3068 frames in 5.0 seconds = 613.600 FPS 3640 frames in 5.0 seconds = 728.000 FPS 3640 frames in 5.0 seconds = 728.000 FPS 3500 frames in 5.0 seconds = 700.000 FPS 3640 frames in 5.0 seconds = 728.000 FPS 3780 frames in 5.0 seconds = 756.000 FPS 3920 frames in 5.0 seconds = 784.000 FPS 4060 frames in 5.0 seconds = 812.000 FPS 4060 frames in 5.0 seconds = 812.000 FPS 4227 frames in 5.0 seconds = 845.400 FPS 4200 frames in 5.0 seconds = 840.000 FPS 3920 frames in 5.0 seconds = 784.000 FPS 4060 frames in 5.0 seconds = 812.000 FPS 4480 frames in 5.0 seconds = 896.000 FPS 3080 frames in 5.0 seconds = 616.000 FPS 3598 frames in 5.0 seconds = 719.600 FPS 6699 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1339.800 FPS 7176 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1435.200 FPS 7488 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1497.600 FPS 6708 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1341.600 FPS X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). The last set of numbers is deceptive, because I had to shrink the window and partially cover the window with another window, to get the card to start pushing itself. Does anyone have any other ideas about how to squeaze the proper performance from the 6600 GT? My current xorg.conf looks like the following: # File generated by XFdrake. # ********************************************************************** # Refer to the XF86Config man page for details about the format of # this file. # ********************************************************************** Section "Files" # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts.

scarecrow Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Add to your configuration: Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection Also here: Load "glx" # 3D layer Load "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so" Remove either one of these lines (they are trying to load the same module). See also what happens with "composite" disabled (as it doesn't always work smoothly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Section "DRI"Mode 0666 EndSection I thought this was ATI stuff?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 (edited) Section "DRI"Mode 0666 EndSection I thought this was ATI stuff?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ooops, you are right- it won't make a difference at all (especially since I did not even suggest adding to the modules' section something like load "dri")... By the way the DRI module is not only for ATI cards, but also for Matrox, 3DFX and Intel ones. Not Nvidia ones, though.

tyme Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 have you tried running any games? sometimes glxgears is just wrong :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fissy Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 It gets fast towards the end, are you sure you're not running it at the same time as some other cpu sapping application? other thoughts... GLX with composite is buggy, try turning that to false and commenting out your extensions section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
