How to run glxgears at full speed and not synchronized to vertical refresh?

[15 Nov 11 at 05:32:47 - 2 comment(s)]

You normally use glxgears to check performance of your graphic card but you get the same as your monitor refresh rate (60Hz = 60fps). You simply need to override a variable to not run synchronized to the vertical refresh.

To do so, simply run the following:

export vblank_mode=0
glxgears

As simple as that.
