  • Hd 2900 XT 512 mb/1GB

    Hi, okey, I know glxgears cant be used as an benchmark, but the output i got when i had ubuntu a while ago kinda scared me, 7800 fps :S while on my modded x850xtpe did i get 14500-15000 fps, 8800 gts hits about 30k.

    havnt tried many games, tried starcraft in cedega, ran abit better than with the x850 xt pe, but not great enough to make me move away from windows for good.

    Thats like the game thats holding me back.


    but.. else than that, driver was quite easy to install, no major issues, i just had to fix the xorg manually, cause it did not remove old driver settings so it dubled, aswell as having crazy frequency for my monitor.

    i got my 512 mb, gonna give it away to my lil bro and buy me the 1gb =)

    is there any way to manage fan speeds(gpu) in linux aswell as gpu clock

    And sorry for posting it in wrong section.

    OpenGL linux benchmark hd2900xt 8.41.7

    I have the same results about 7800 fps for glxgears and 1750 for fgl_glxgears from ati driver 8.41.7. quake3 or 64bit ioquake3 is about 250fps. Probably a better benchmark than glxgears. There are other OpenGL benchmarks, such as POGL or SPECViewperf9 but I am having trouble with them on 64bit Ubuntu feisty.

      Well, according to AMD they've only done beta open gl

      Well, according to AMD they've only done beta open gl driver, AND THAT CAN BE NOTICED, have you tried glquake/q2 etc?, i had quite terrible fps, any confirm, dropped to 30 once, worse than Q3.
      This was not experienced on my x850 XT PE, However, wine experience with my 2900 XT was better than a 8800 GTS i tried on live cd, on my buddy's comp.

      so.. means ati have done some great work on their drivers ?

      tested STarcraft Broodwar in wine. DONT TELL ME IT CANT BE DONE FOR BENCH FOR WINE.

      Try and play it, do 300 actions per minute, and smell the lagg =)
