i have a fx5600xt (nvidia) but i get lower result with glxgears :
with my ati 9500 pro :
around 5000 FPS
with my fx5600xt :
1300 FPS
on the other side, i don't think that ATI cards support anti-aliasing (FSAA
1,2,4). nvidia does. and finally, i never been able to extend my windows
manager to use the other monitor. i've only been able to add a second head
(DISPLAY=:0.1). so no 2d or 3d acceleration (XV) on the second head for me.
