3D Acceleration Test

    If, after going through all the pain of installing your Nvidia drivers, your system boots up and shows you the Nvidia splash, you have that feeling: ¨YES, I did it !¨ It then you would like to know the actual numbers, the Frames Per Seconds ( FPS ) here is the trick to do it.
  1. In a console as normal user:
    CODE
    $ glxinfo | grep rendering
    This should return: ¨direct rendering: Yes¨

  2. Now type:
    CODE
    $ gears
    ( If you get an error message you have to install ¨MESA¨ and the ¨MESA demo package¨ it´s on your CD )

  3. If gears is installed a window will pop up with turning wheels in it, just drag it a bit to the side and watch your console all kind of numbers will appear:

  4. From my GeForce FX 5200 card:
    13553 frames in 5.000 seconds = 2710.600 FPS
    13569 frames in 5.000 seconds = 2713.800 FPS
    13594 frames in 5.000 seconds = 2718.800 FPS
    Without 3D acceleration your FPS would be around 60.000 FPS
