Originally posted by benmoran View PostJust a heads up for those running the Free drivers and thinking about buying the game:
On my system (Ubuntu 11.10 with Gnome-Shell, using Oibaf's PPA), it currently runs at 30fps 95% of the time, with occasional drops down to ~26fps during heavy action scenes. My card is an HD5770 at 1920x1080, with all settings low except for texture quality (which doesn't seem to have much affect on the fps).
The strange thing is that it never goes above 30fps. It stays at exactly 30, which points to some limiting factor. Turning vsync on or off makes no difference, so something else is causing it. Any ideas? It's no big deal though since this type of game doesn't really require a higher frame rate..
Option "SwapbuffersWait" "boolean"
This option controls the behavior of glXSwapBuffers and glXCopySubBufferMESA calls by GL applications. If enabled, the calls will avoid tearing by making sure the display scanline is outside of the area to be copied before the copy occurs. If disabled, no scanline synchronization is performed, meaning tearing will likely occur. Note that when enabled, this option can adversely affect the framerate of applications that render frames at less than refresh rate.
The default value is on.

I know someone else has reported 17-23fps on the open drivers, but i don't recall what hardware they had.
and no 18fps in fact don't fix the problem. i think a hd7950 can handle this.

2D tiling could be a big win i'd think
Anyone adventurous enough to try rebuilding the entire graphics stack? Jerome Glisse says it's done with no piglit regressions: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archive...ry/018658.html
Then again, maybe a title like this is more shader limited. That's the kind of article I'd like to see from Michael, but I'm guessing he won't even test OilRush on the mesa drivers because he'd have to enable the patented code.

Originally posted by Qaridarium View Posthey thank you now i get it.. but with the PCIE option there are no 50-100$ speed up.
nexuiz 36fps vs 49fps its only 26,5%
13fps+26,5%= 14,26fps LOL!
no sorry a hd6870 will not fix my problem. ,
