To start with, it's a 2.4Ghz Pentium 4, 512Mb DDR ram. Now the interesting but highly baffling bit... With direct rendering disabled frame rate with glxgears running is: glxgears 3548 frames in 5.0 seconds = 709.600 FPS 3287 frames in 5.0 seconds = 657.400 FPS 343 frames in 5.0 seconds = 68.600 FPS 348 frames in 5.0 seconds = 69.600 FPS 381 frames in 5.0 seconds = 76.200 FPS 3612 frames in 5.0 seconds = 722.400 FPS 3541 frames in 5.0 seconds = 708.200 FPS You can see the full screen drop off. With direct rendering running I get: bash-2.05b$ glxgears 228 frames in 5.0 seconds = 45.600 FPS 175 frames in 5.0 seconds = 35.000 FPS 125 frames in 5.0 seconds = 25.000 FPS 93 frames in 5.0 seconds = 18.600 FPS 54 frames in 5.0 seconds = 10.800 FPS 51 frames in 5.0 seconds = 10.200 FPS 101 frames in 5.0 seconds = 20.200 FPS 126 frames in 5.0 seconds = 25.200 FPS I appear to be getting less than 10% of the performance with direct rendering than I do without. So why such a big difference? I was expecting it to be higher and maybe a little more constant with direct rendering on? -- Tony. The Bat! 3.0.2.10. Gentoo.
