With a hog like kde 760 FPS is good.
Using the same card, enlightenment /w gnome panel I get 780 FPS.
If I stop setiathome FPS jumps to 1280 FPS.
Every running process Will affect performance.
With a radeon, or any ATI card for that matter, you will probably never achieve the
FPS of nvidia or a well running Voodoo because GL is handled
3rd party rather than by direct instructions from the driver.
Run glxinfo for the radeon and you get:
