Hmm, using the same kernel and a Radeon 8500LE, (now cheaper than that nVidia card), and 16bpp, (same as you), I get:
7485 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1497.000 FPS 8763 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1752.600 FPS 8744 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1748.800 FPS 8764 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1752.800 FPS
That is using ATI's official drivers. I get slightly faster with the DRI offerings, but they don't draw textures properly.
Personally I have various problems with the ATI drivers, such as Neverwinter Nights locking completely after 5 seconds of playing. The DRI drivers work in these circumstances, but the textures are all messed up, (still playable). From what I can discern, this is something most ATI user's don't see.
I would suspect a Radeon 9600 or whatever they're on now, would not have these problems, and is going to be a shedload faster than my 8500LE.
these are my results with a GeForce FX Go5200 on a laptop:
12179 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2435.800 FPS 16752 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3350.400 FPS 16803 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3360.600 FPS 16839 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3367.800 FPS 16831 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3366.200 FPS
i get way better performance than on my desktop system with the radeon 9000.
i know, the fx 5200 is newer. still i believe nvidia has to be the choice ;-D
cheers, eric
