compiz: statusexplanation |
|
I've confirmed the large difference between 173.14.12 and 177.80 drivers using the the OpenArena benchmark (both on amd64 installations with compiz running):
Intrepid, 177.80:
840 frames 3.1 seconds 267.9 fps 1.0/3.7/20.0/2.0 ms
840 frames 3.3 seconds 254.5 fps 2.0/3.9/33.0/1.9 ms
840 frames 3.4 seconds 246.8 fps 1.0/4.1/223.0/7.9 ms
average 257 fps
Intrepid, 173.14.12:
840 frames 1.8 seconds 471.1 fps 1.0/2.1/11.0/1.0 ms
840 frames 1.9 seconds 435.7 fps 1.0/2.3/11.0/1.1 ms
840 frames 1.8 seconds 465.4 fps 1.0/2.1/11.0/1.1 ms
average 457 fps
Hardy, 173.14.12:
840 frames 2.0 seconds 428.8 fps 1.0/2.3/19.0/1.0 ms
840 frames 1.9 seconds 434.3 fps 1.0/2.3/11.0/0.9 ms
840 frames 1.9 seconds 444.2 fps 1.0/2.3/10.0/0.8 ms
average 435
Using the averages, Intrepid's 173.14.12 driver comes out faster by 5% than Hardy.
But Intrepid's 177.80 driver is a whopping 44% slower than its 173.14.12 driver, so there is clearly a big performance difference between the two.
I seem the same degradation playing games under wine with 177.80 - once many things start going on concurrently, the fps reduces enormously and they become unplayable. |

Moving to the (two) nvidia-glx driver packages. This isn't (directly) going to be a problem with Xserver 1.5, because the nvidia drivers don't actually use any of the X server's GL stack (although it might be lack of optimisation against the new X server ABI or somesuch).
Further debugging at this point would probably be filing a bug report with nvidia on the nvnews forums(!). I don't think any part of this bug will be in anything we have source for. |

I get the similar openarena-benchmark results with nvidia 180.27 on Jaunty alpha 4 as I did in Intrepid, ie 230-280 fps compared to Hardy's much faster 435 fps average.
Call of Duty 4 runs the same as in Intrepid, ie compiz sometimes slows it down and sometimes doesn't (but when not slowed down it gets the same fps as in Hardy). |

Binary package hint: compiz
glxgears shows the following fps on my Nvidia 8600GT card when compiz is running:
173.14.12 driver:
Hardy, 32 bit: 4900 fps
Hardy, 64 bit: 5000 fps
Intrepid, 32 bit: 4200 fps
177.80 driver:
Intrepid, 32 bit: 3000 fps
ie there is a massive 40% in performance between Hardy using the old and Intrepid using the new driver and a 15% drop if both use the old driver.
With compiz disabled, all combinations of O/S and driver show around 5800 fps.
So with the new 177.80 driver, compiz is reducing glxgear performance by close to 50%.
Version info:
Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic vs Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-21-generic
