Hi!
I do have poor performance with my setup. "gears" shows me only ~1000 FPS (should be >5000).
My setup:
Pentium4 2.2 GHz
Quadro4 200/400 NVS
1 GB RAM
SuSE Linux 8.2
NVidia Driver 4496
glxinfo:
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.3
...
OpenGL version string: 1.4.0 NVIDIA 44.96

The nvidia driver is correctly loaded. But The OpenGL-performance is pretty bad. With Windows XP OpenGL works pretty fast.
Does anyone have a clue why my OpenGL-performance is that bad (it seems Software rendering is still used at some places
)?
