• Select GL (Full KMS),

• Then reboot ,

sudo reboot

• After that we can test OpenGL using glxgears from mesa-utils package,

sudo apt-get -y install mesa-utilsglxgears

• It’s give me ~10 FPS during SSH with X11 Forwarding, you probably will get higher FPS if run directly from physical monitor into your Raspberry Pi. Using higher version Raspberry Pi, also will give you a better performance.
