[BerMeJo]

Hi all!
i have a great dude!

I installed some days ago, livna driver of ati.
I get so low FPS, and i try to play something like "Cube 1" and i cant!
All go so slow!!!


glxgears
1248 frames in 5.0 seconds = 249.450 FPS
1249 frames in 5.0 seconds = 249.800 FPS
863 frames in 5.0 seconds = 172.462 FPS
862 frames in 5.0 seconds = 172.262 FPS
1249 frames in 5.0 seconds = 249.600 FPS
1245 frames in 5.0 seconds = 249.000 FPS
753 frames in 5.0 seconds = 150.600 FPS


fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
1869 frames in 5.0 seconds = 373.800 FPS
1530 frames in 5.0 seconds = 306.000 FPS
1380 frames in 5.0 seconds = 276.000 FPS
1802 frames in 5.0 seconds = 360.400 FPS
1915 frames in 5.0 seconds = 383.000 FPS

First off, what graphics card are you using? glxgears is NOT a benchmark. What frame-rate do you get with Cube? Have you tried any games like Enemy Territory?

Hello i have an ATi Radeon 9600 Pro, i only play to cube
i dont know how can i see the frame rate in cube

[Michael]

If I recall, the frame-rate should be displayed in one of the corners. Can you try some other games? If I remember right, there may be some Cube + fglrx issues.

[BerMeJo]

ok i just download enemy territory and no problem with it! :DDDDDD
but cube its equal: :(

in the right corner i can see:
fps 9
wqd 360
wvt 1484
evt 1109

why in one can play and in oteher no? do u think i have to change drivers or ma i good with this?

[Michael]

The Cube issue likely plagues all current fglrx display drivers. The issue is due to the Cube programming.

The open-source Radeon drivers should perform fine with Cube, if you are interested in that route.

ok, im fine with this driver if i can play in almost games.
In very happy tonight :DDDD

Now i will fight with cedega and desktop effects

Thank u so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
