Hi,
I am suffering appaling performance on counter strike source (old game). On 13.8 beta catalyst I get between 90 - 170FPS however it isnt always butter smooth but its about playable.. but vsync doesnt work at all at least not on Mint 15 Cinnamon 1.8.8 on games or desktop without serious 'lag / motion blur' its not worth it.
I completely removed Catalyst properly so i could get my decent desktop experience back (albeit without vsync)
So I attempted to install the Best and latest FOSS driver using this method given all the recent praise.
sudo add-apt-repository ppaibaf/graphics-drivers -y sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libg3dvl-mesa -y
I now get 5 , yes 5 FPS in a very old source game that can run 250+ frames on windows and 170+ on linux.
Question 1: How do i tell what version of Mesa / Gallium / X.org I am on from command line ?
Question2: Is all this talk of decent almost closed source performance bull?
How do i get my system to play a 10 year old game at even a smooth 30fps using AMD without stutter or a lack of VSYNC in 2013 (please dont answer with 'nvidia' / weyland etc..)
My hardware 8gb 1600mhz ram / Trintiy A10-5800k APU
Thanks
