X Server Benchmarks - NTLUG, 12 April 1997
- Gateway2000 P5-133XL
- Gateway2000 Vivitron 21
- Matrox Milliennium, 2Mb WRAM, 175 Mhz RAMDAC
- 32 Mb RAM
Each X Server has a different setup program, but they all
require a similar set of basic information:
- Monitor horizontal and vertical refresh rates
- Type of graphics accelerator / video card
- Desired resolutions
- Desired color depths
A screenshot of each setup program:
- Name
- xbench - gives a metric of X Server performance
- Synopsis
- xbench [-option ...]
- Description
- Xbench tries to give an objective estimation of your X
Server's performance by outputting a number of
graphic-commands and measuring the time it takes to
display them onto the screen. It is a useful tool for
comparing different server implementations and for
measuring server tuning effects.
