For comparison, my Matrox G550 does ~250-300 fps. Make sure to run glxgears when the system is idle, though, because these figures aren't very useful (differ by factor >3). Why do you need high performance anyway? Even with my card, there's no lag runnig 'k3dsurf' full-screen in OpenGL mode, for example. As for games, there's few for FBSD, and your card should do fine [sadly, the only graphics-intensive simulator -- FlightGear -- has been always broken on FreeBSD for me; these days it doesn't crash, but the frame rate is still much to be desired (far less than 1) Totally useless :(] [SorAlx] ridin' VN1500-B2
