Crappy FPS...

I have a Geforce 7800GT, PCI Express. I get FPS of about 60 and drops are common. I have Tremulous running at 640x480, and all other settings at high. I have the AA and AF settings off, and I only get 30-60 FPS, while I used to get 90 FPS all the time. Is my video card shot?


Trem uses the Q3A engine. Q3A was released in 1999, when most people had 8MB graphics cards and 300MHz processors. An ancient TNT class card should provide a good framerate at 640*480.

With an athlon64 3200 (linux), I get 90FPS at 1280*1024, all eye-candy features on, with an FX5900XT 128MB and with a 6600 256MB card. Both cards are AGP.

Unless there's somethig very wrong with your graphics hardware or software then for some reason you could be CPU bound. What's your CPU usage like in-game?

Sure, glxgears is not accurate but you can easily check if some setting does or does not seriously impact your 3D performance (for example disabled pageflip).

Odin, post here your /etc/X11/xorg.conf contents.

Mmh...depends. You can check if your driver works correctly, but you can't say "this guy is getting 10000 fps and i have the same graphics and i only get 100 fps!!!!11!"
It's way too dependant of resolution, colordepth, cpu and all that stuff. This way, glxinfo is much better for checking if stuff works ;)

Most graphics cards should do fine with Tremulous, my card is 4mb and everything works fine with 600x800 resolution, all settings adjusted to minimum, except lighting quality because I want to see something. My fps is uaually 15-20 but it's playable.

Thanks, but this is a laptop so I have no chance of stuffing that card into this :P

I recently enabled dri and RenderAccel and they did nothing. I don't think those are the problem.

You're missing a lot of modules:

Section "Module"
Load "i2c"
Load "bitmap"
Load "ddc"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
Load "int10"

no he is NOT
i2c = crap for serial interfaces, dont need those
ddc=crap for talking with a monitor on those serial interfaces, dont need those
vbe=some obsolete vesa crap
int10= some obsolete interrupt 10 emulation

and so on
its YOU, who has a ton of crap in a config :)

Odin remove any references to DRI from xorg.conf, DRI+nvidia=troubles. DRI is MESA stuff, and nvidia = hardware ogl (mesa=software ogl)

Code: [Select]
Section "Module"
    Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension
    Load "v4l" # Video for Linux
    Load "extmod"
    Load "type1"
    Load "freetype"

8 ) Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy someone else to shoot at.
18 ) Make it too tough for the enemy to get in and you can't get out.

Done.

My FPS still drops to ~30 when the portal on MEEP opens up.

Ugh, I wish someone would overhall the Q3 engine like LordHavoc did with DarkPlaces.

Try adding this to your xorg.conf and restart X11 (close all windows, log out from session and press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace):

Code: [Select]
Section "Device"
...
Option    "EnablePageFlip" "True"
...
