I am planning on getting a new video card. I have a nvidia geforce2 right now and it works great under linux. I have not had any problems. I have noticed that some of the Ati cards seem to have a bit better performance in some of the tests on the hardware review sites. I was wondering how the Ati support for linux is. My system is currently has an Asus A7N8X Deluxe with an AMD 2400+ and 1G of 3200 ram.
Let's do some benchmarking I have a PIV 2.8 ghz (800 mhz fsb), 1 gig ddr 400 ram and an geforce fx 5900 ultra with 256 meg ram. When running X at 1600x1200 resolution I get about 4800 fps in glxgears
Any other results ?
Very interesting, you people already left?
Running on my superduper Backstreet Ruby! with 2 17" monitors on 2 videocards:
00:0b.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev a2)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] (rev 15)
and my CPU:
Detected 850.039 MHz processor.
Then I get running glxgears on the first card, which is a PCI card and actually the "second" because it does not have the VGA Text Consoles:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ glxgears 5028 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1005.600 FPS 4495 frames in 5.0 seconds = 899.000 FPS 5568 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1113.600 FPS 5914 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1182.800 FPS 4612 frames in 5.0 seconds = 922.400 FPS 5730 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1146.000 FPS 5911 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1182.200 FPS
and THEN running same on the second card:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ glxgears 2567 frames in 5.0 seconds = 513.400 FPS 2124 frames in 5.0 seconds = 424.800 FPS 2401 frames in 5.0 seconds = 480.200 FPS 2577 frames in 5.0 seconds = 515.400 FPS 2115 frames in 5.0 seconds = 423.000 FPS 2417 frames in 5.0 seconds = 483.400 FPS 2578 frames in 5.0 seconds = 515.600 FPS
So that shows that the MX440 has twice the speed of the TNT2 (and twice the price, but is it worth it?)
But if I run BOTH AT THE SAME TIME, the MX440 shows:
1904 frames in 5.0 seconds = 380.800 FPS 2657 frames in 5.0 seconds = 531.400 FPS 2700 frames in 5.0 seconds = 540.000 FPS 2374 frames in 5.0 seconds = 474.800 FPS 2961 frames in 5.0 seconds = 592.200 FPS 2847 frames in 5.0 seconds = 569.400 FPS 2218 frames in 5.0 seconds = 443.600 FPS 3017 frames in 5.0 seconds = 603.400 FPS
and the TNT2:
1199 frames in 5.0 seconds = 239.800 FPS 1244 frames in 5.0 seconds = 248.800 FPS 1072 frames in 5.0 seconds = 214.400 FPS 1350 frames in 5.0 seconds = 270.000 FPS 1278 frames in 5.0 seconds = 255.600 FPS 1003 frames in 5.0 seconds = 200.600 FPS 1373 frames in 5.0 seconds = 274.600 FPS 1710 frames in 5.0 seconds = 342.000 FPS 1974 frames in 5.0 seconds = 394.800 FPS
Shows that the framerate dropped by half again for both but that the MX440 is still twice as fast.
If I may summarize:
Roberto Sanchez XP2500+ dri 2400 fps
ati 1920 fpsPaul Morgan 1.34 Ghz ati 4030 fps
Johann Koenig 900 Mhz MX440SE 550 fps
Jamin Collins XP2400+ FX5200 3700 fps
myself 850 Mhz MX440 1150 fps
TNT2 500 fpsYou guys still there?
I don't understand why Johann gets only 550 fps with a processor and card similar to mine, should be twice as fast. The way glxgears is run?
I just said "glxgears".
Statistically I am not sure we all ran the same benchmark. Seems safe to say you will speed up when you get a faster processor ;-)
I attach ps axf
