Glxgears for modern cards is simply a fill rate test and really gives no
true image of the card's performace. My GF4 gives
24181 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4836.200 FPS
23711 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4742.200 FPS
23583 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4716.600 FPS
23688 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4737.600 FPS
23612 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4722.400 FPS
But it is ti4600 so it's memory bus is like twice of the FX5200.
The down side is that this has heat sinks over memory modules and fan
over the GPU.
One thing you might want to try is enabling the experimental accelerated
RENDER extension support. You need to set
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
in the device section to enable this.
It works great and gives a really healthy boost for 2D graphics with the
latest drivers this really makes the difference. All software that
support REDER extension (allmost all) will use HW blits and I think
they even has alpha support too. There are some small things still to
be done, but nothing that normal use would reveal. So for normal
desktop usage it is perfect.
