[gentoo-user] Nvidia + glxgears slower than before

Hi all,

I have a strage problem, some month ago I bougth a new laptop (Core2duo 1,83
Ghz + Geforce 7600).
The first thing I did was installing gentoo, and after X was finished I
installed the nvidia-driver an run glxgears to see the difference between my
old desktop and my new laptop.
I got about 10000.000 FPS and was happy. I continued installing the system
and built some new kernels to get all the things working like wlan etc.
some days later I run glxgears again and was shocked of the glxgears output:

31189 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6237.635 FPS
31163 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6232.600 FPS
31178 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6235.511 FPS


since this time I never got more than 6400.000 FPS, I `ve tried to install
newer versions of nvidia-driver and the nvidia-driver from the nvidia page
but its not going over 6400.000 FPS. After some time I thougth maybe it
didnt run faster the first time and I was remembering wrong but than I saw a
forum entry from someone with the same notebook running fedoracore and he
postet his putput of glxgears and got about 10000.000 FPS.

Has anyone any ideas what the problem could be???
I dont want to install gentoo again because everything else works fine.

Thanks and Regards

Jakob

The problem is that glxgears is not a benchmark. Run some real programs and if 
you have performance problems with those, then you have something to worry 
about.

does someone know a benchmak tool for opengl?
I searched in portage but I didnt find one.

The best benchmarks are the programs you actually use. If you want to play a 
certain game or use a particular 3d application, benchmark that.
