I had to use these because the tarballs wouldn't make. But they work good,
I'm getting the best framerates yet out of them. 33% better testing with
gears.
Here's window and full screen with a geforce2gts:
]#gears
8817 frames in 5.000 seconds = 1763.400 FPS
11772 frames in 5.000 seconds = 2354.400 FPS
11804 frames in 5.000 seconds = 2360.800 FPS
8144 frames in 5.001 seconds = 1628.474 FPS
1962 frames in 5.000 seconds = 392.400 FPS
2047 frames in 5.000 seconds = 409.400 FPS
2236 frames in 5.001 seconds = 447.111 FPS
2234 frames in 5.000 seconds = 446.800 FPS
second test:
]# gears
8897 frames in 5.007 seconds = 1776.912 FPS
11767 frames in 5.000 seconds = 2353.400 FPS
11713 frames in 5.000 seconds = 2342.600 FPS
11602 frames in 5.000 seconds = 2320.400 FPS
7708 frames in 5.000 seconds = 1541.600 FPS
2142 frames in 5.001 seconds = 428.314 FPS
2242 frames in 5.000 seconds = 448.400 FPS
2247 frames in 5.009 seconds = 448.593 FPS
2244 frames in 5.001 seconds = 448.710 FPS
2241 frames in 5.000 seconds = 448.200 FPS
But in all fairness, gltron does 100fps consistantly, where the previous
drivers fluctuated anywhere in the 90's, but did dip as low as 79. So not a
big jump there.
NVIDIA_kernel-0.9-769-2.4.3-20mdk.i686.rpm
NVIDIA_GLX-0.9-769.i686.rpm
Now I got them off an unoffical relatively new (to me anyway) site, but I had
to have acceleration. :-)
