While it's important to remember that glxgears is not a good way to predict 3D performance in any real app, I typically do a lot better than that, e.g.: stax:~-712> glxgears 17748 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3549.600 FPS 20368 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4073.600 FPS 20381 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4076.200 FPS 20452 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4090.400 FPS 19829 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3965.800 FPS -c -- Chris Metzler cmetzler@speakeasy.snip-me.net (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear
