It probably only gets used if the X server is driving the card faster
than it can keep up, so the queue starts getting filled.  Its quite
likely that normal X/text stuff just doesn't get close to exerting the
card at all.

If your setup allows it, you could try turning on "desktop effects" to
see what happens then...
