Please stop using glxgears as a performance benchmark. You could double
the driver's performance in real applications and glxgears would report
the same or worse results.
Use a real benchmark. If app-benchmarks/phoronix-test-suite is too
complex for you (it's overkill for a quick GL test), you can try some
stand-alone GL benchmark. Like this:
