liquid_gabe Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I'm getting Xbench OpenGL results ~100 and slow performance with Motion 3. Is there a kext or something I'm missing? Jas 10.4.8 + 10.4.9 update Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/53363-7600gt-slow-opengl/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahbau Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I can't tell if there's something missing because I don't know what you have. lol. Do you have Natit or Titan? Does ASP show that you have Core Image and Quartz Extreme working?

zarac Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 my 7600gt also performs about 100 points under openGL section of Xbench. qe, ci, q2e enabled. i tried ALL combinations of nv40 kexts, natits, titans, nvidiaefis and agpgarts, as well as different install dvds (JaS, Tubgirl, HotISO). no improvement i guess it has much to do with motherboard chipset, because one machine i installed osx on had 6600gt and scored about 125 (openGL). that machine had nforce3 chipset (mine is via k8t800) - everything else was the same (cpu, mem type and quantity).

sarahbau Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I've never liked XBench. Its results don't seem to show real world performance. Try OpenBench. My 7600GT gets about 15,700 in that. It takes a long time to run, but just let it go (it runs until it gets down to 9 fps, so it actually takes longer if you have a faster card. lol).

delish Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 my PNY 7600GT get from 120-150 score in xbench keep in mind that 100 is what a 6800 Ultra gets in a dual G5 mac a few sec test of opengl performance can't be very accurate anyway. edit: I got score 15501 in openMark, just ran it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/53363-7600gt-slow-opengl/#findComment-380471 Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_gabe Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 Well, I got a score of 16,000 with OpenMark. Shoot, I was hoping a little bit of code in the right place would boost me. I have read threads where people report hardware OpenGL scores ~5k using Cinebench, I get 3k. Motion 3 runs no better, and maybe even slower than the G5 with an 800xt I use at work. Also, I see x-bench scores for older macbooks ~150. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/53363-7600gt-slow-opengl/#findComment-380569 Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquid_gabe Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 I believe my chip is a core duo 920. I'm hoping to do a bit more telecommuting, FCP / Motion / AE, and I'm not sure which upgrade to make first: 2gigs up to 4gigs CD up to C2D 7600GT up to ? Your thoughts appreciated...

I'm thinking you mean Pentium D 920, which while dual core, is not a Core Duo.

Koffein Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 had the same problem after installing 10.4.9 update opengl extremely slow on my 7600GS solved by installing diaboliks 10.4.9 installer http://diabolik1605.com/DHF/R1Files/Diabol...a.Installer.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/53363-7600gt-slow-opengl/#findComment-380753 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarac Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 tried OpenMark and scored 16980 which is comparable to what other people with 7600gt got. i guess the drivers are fine and Xbench is NOT Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/53363-7600gt-slow-opengl/#findComment-380871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
