I suppose Xbench is OK for benchmarking, although I don't trust the
video benchmarks because it will list Quartz Graphics results for
cards that have no Quartz ability? If you repeat Xbench over & over
without changing anything you'll get a wide variety of measurements
some categories. In different versions the benchmark comparison
computer has been changed several times, so the scores from different
versions are only comparable by the actual "details" which show the
real measured data and not the "scores" which are a percentage of the
benchmark computer. Under Xbench 1.2 the benchmark is a 2.0 GHz G5
with a score of 100 down the full list; previously it was some G4's.
My poor Beige has dropped from a high score near 50 to a measly 10
without changing anything, the Xbench bar just keeps getting higher.
Here are my Xbench "details" on a Beige G4/433 768 MB
PCI Radeon 9100 (8500 ROM)/GPU 250 - VRAM 250
Quartz Graphics Test:
Line: 1.03 Klines/sec [50% alpha]
Rectangle: 2.40 Krects/sec [50% alpha]
Circle: 930.85 circles/sec [50% alpha]
Bezier: 599.74 beziers/sec[50% alpha]
Text: 1.40 Kchars/sec[50% alpha]
Open GL Graphics Test
Spinning Squares 44.56 frames/sec
Another benchmark that might be better is in Open GL Extensions
