Tried it out on a linux box, and found I ran out of fish options! There's a modified version of the code that lets you run up to 10,000 fish, and I had to use that instead (link is here.)

Here's from the linux system (same hardware) - 27FPS with 2000 fish

[chrisbard]

Hmmm kinda low FPS if you ask me, must be linux

[Gizmo]

I'm getting about 50 FPS with 250 Fish, but I'm seeing the same behavior you are Daniel; I'm seeing my CPU temp spike way up, but my GPU is barely ruffled. They've got to be making SOME use of the GPU, but I think it's relatively basic.

For reference, FF 14, Fedora 17, Intel? Core™ i7 CPU M 640 @ 2.80GHz (two cores + HT)

[chrisbard]

I don't know if it makes a difference since I've done this and had no extra fps after but take a look at this

Part 2: Debunking powerpenguin1's Windows vs. Linux videos. (Fish Tank benchmark) - YouTube

from 0:32 - 0:46

Tell me if it makes a difference for you pls.

Interesting; that version doesn't work for me; I get FPS, but no fish visible except rarely.

To be honest...That pretty much what I would expect from an MS user, a craving for abuse...":O}

This is strange...

[Daniel ~]

At lest the fish are pertty! ":O}

How would I check to see if this is being offloaded to my Onboard the CPU graphics chip?

[Gizmo]

I don't really know of a way, other than looking at the GPU temp. Increased usage goes with increased temps.

[Daniel ~]

My PCIe Graphics card sits at idle, which is why I'm wondering if the CPU's on board Graphics are in play...shouldn't be, I told the guys in the BIOS to shut her down for my GeForce.

The same is basically true here: running the bench bumps my GPU by maybe 2 degrees, and it's entirely possible that 2 degrees is actually bleedover from the 20 degree increase in temps on my CPU. And I don't have anything except my nVidia Quadro FX 2800M for video.

[Daniel ~]

I noticed that the FPS start out slow, then pick up, is this net lag?

[Gizmo]

Yeah, I see the same thing. I don't believe it's net lag; rather it is the javascript engine building all of the objects that it needs. Once they are all built, then the FPS levels out.

[Daniel ~]

Thanks Gizmo! ":O}
