Total War: Attila Performs Miserably On Linux

[Michael]

Michael should add Windows numbers to graphs, after that we could judge.. He is very good in benchmark everything on every platform, but very bad we it came to design test for some real life output value, for example without Win numbers this test has not too much sense, ok its slow, but is problem in port, or even Win version is crapp - we have to find out on our own.

It's not worth testing Windows when it takes too much time and already hard enough making ends meet when enough people are ad-blocking, etc.

Is the frame rate then related to the VBlank setting in NVidia control panel or v-sync in catalyst control panel you could turn those two off and then try and see if performance is better? It could basically be the xorg.conf file which is preventing it from getting higher performance or like I said earlier the vblank or v-sync setting....

vsync/vblank and other settings weren't enabled.

Hi Michael I'm getting different results. Running on an inferior PC and older Nvidia drivers than you: version 352.41
OS: Debian Jessie, Gnome shell
CPU: i7 4770K (stock clock)
GPU: GTX 980 strix (stock clock)

Benchmarks results:
@2160p - 14.5 fps (extreme quality)
@1080p - 23.6 fps (extreme quality)
@1080p - 61.1 fps (maximum performance)

Let me know if you'd like to cross check smtg.
Thanks for your work.

I have an FX-8350 + GTX 960, the game is fully playable on "extreme settings", though it's stuttery and what I would estimate et around 20-30fps, though only utilizes 25% of my CPU, running on 2 cores. So that I get the same performance as Phoronix test bed with an I7-5960x + Titan is doubtful. I think the bench might punish the test system more or something.
