Well, since I'm upgrading from another Nvidia card to this one, I already
have a the correct driver. I updated it maybe a few weeks ago.
I went through the options, and adjusted a bit. However, all the colors
seem too intense, and 'Option "DigitalVibrance"' is commented out (the docs
say 'Default: 0', so commenting it out should do the default, right?). I
mean, images are distorted, practically glowing. What can I do about that?
But I get this increase with glxgears:
Old card (Elsa Riva TNT2):
4566 frames in 5.0 seconds = 913.200 FPS
5567 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1113.400 FPS
5612 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1122.400 FPS
5573 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1114.600 FPS
5614 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1122.800 FPS
New card (eVGA Personal Cinema / Geforce 4 MX 440):
14651 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2930.200 FPS
15539 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3107.800 FPS
15511 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3102.200 FPS
15539 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3107.800 FPS
15489 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3097.800 FPS
