-Glxgears -is- a benchmark if you are comparing the same hardware before and after a change. People have been parroting the 'is not a benchmark' line irrespective of -what- is being measured for so long now that it is getting tedious.
-It is only 'not a benchmark' if you are comparing different hardware, or posting 'l33t' framerates on a forum.
-Glxgears is an excellent benchmark if you are doing a before and after test of your system when updating something like display drivers or Xorg, or if trying a config change that is supposed to improve 3d performance.
-Supposing you got 500fps before a change, and still get 500fps after. Then it is a sure sign that whatever you have done does not improve performance on your hardware (of course it may have additional benefits, stability etc..)
-If, however, you get 500fps before you upgrade the display drivers, and then get 700fps afterwards, then you have successfully used glxgears to benchmark your system and demonstrate a 40% speed improvement merely by upgrading some software. Of course that may not translate to a real-world improvement of 40%, but do you think it shows that nothing has changed?
-:How about saying 'Glxgears is not a benchmark for comparing dissimilar systems'

-I'll add a list to the page. I'll start with two, but feel free to expand it. There are dozens of benchmarks. I don't see how people can't find them. Please sign your comments. -[[User:Mooninite|Mooninite]] 13:52, 1 March 2008 (CST)
