AMD legacy card open source driver report

[bridgman]

OK never mind i found it. Weird it still not good fps for me. I gonna try it on Windows to see if my card is capable of playing CSS

There was an issue related to the CPU governor which was affecting FPS as well with non-Intel CPUs -- couldn't find your hardware details anywhere so not sure if this affects you or not. Did you ever post HW details - GPU, CPU etc.. ?

Really? Hm

Ok here my specs

Laptop is Packard Bell EasyNote TM82

CPU is AMD Athlon II P320 duel core (I am pretty sure it is either 2.1GHz or 2.6GHz)

RAM is 8GB

GPU is ATI mobility HD Radeon HD 4225/4250 (That is what it saying to me in system info in linux mint)

Kernel is at 3.13.1

I wonder if it something to do with this

I will give 3.14 rc1 a go

Looks like the CPU governor changes hit in 3.12 not 3.13, so that's probably not it. The CPU governor was also more of an issue for high end GPUs since that's where the CPU was more likely to become a bottleneck.

This is probably not the issue for your system, sorry.

Hm ok thanks. I will try see what FPS i get in Windows just to make sure my card can handle it.

I probably have done something wrong on my laptop since i get average of 150fps on CSS with that PPA drivers on my desktop pc o.o

On my laptop, the performance governor does make the CPU noticeably hot. I'd rather leave it ondemand. BTW Mint makes this easy, as you can install a widget that appears on the taskbar that you can easily switch between governors.

My big issue is getting my laptop to switch to the discrete graphics GPU. It uses the HD 4200 for low power, but the HD 5470 seems to never get used. Running the 3.13.1 kernel, so isn't this suppose to be automatic now? The DRI_PRIME=1 command will crash the Cinnamon UI usually with WINE, but no problems with XFCE.
