I have found that new drivers have VSYNC enabled.
If your monitor have 75hz of VSYNC, you only get 75 fps in "glxgears -fps"
Try This:
Code:
export __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0
bash-2.05b$ export __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0
bash-2.05b$ glxgears -fps
1410 frames in 5.0 seconds = 282.000 FPS
1407 frames in 5.0 seconds = 281.400 FPS
.... Now, without setting __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK
bash-2.05b$ unset __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK
bash-2.05b$ glxgears -fps
319 frames in 5.0 seconds = 63.800 FPS
370 frames in 5.0 seconds = 74.000 FPS
373 frames in 5.0 seconds = 74.600 FPS
327 frames in 5.0 seconds = 65.400 FPS
-------------------
You can put your new environment variable in your .bashrc file or /etc/profile and it will work when you restart your machine
