Horrible Performance with Nouveau

Hello people!

I have a GTX 560 graphics card than I initially set up with the nouveau drivers. However, I noticed that I was getting horrible performance within graphical applications as simple as the ncmpcpp visualizer and even just the pipes.sh terminal eye candy. Within games like besiege, I was getting horrible framerates: 15 fps with all settings on minimum. Wondering what the issue was, I tried switching over to the proprietary Nvidia drivers and, with those running, everything is working extremely smoothly, terminal apps don't lag, I get 60 fps in games, and everything just seems to generally work. However, I would much rather use the open-source nouveau drivers. So I was wondering if there's possibly just an issue with my settings, limiting my performance. Since, afaik, nouveau should at least be usable, and I was definitely unable to use it.

So here's as much info as I can grab:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nouveau.conf (I used the exact same config on nvidia, swapping the driver name of course):

and yes, as a user, I'm in the video group.

So if you see anything wrong, or want more info, please reply. I would really like to break free of the proprietary drivers, but I really need a computer that I can do stuff on smile I'm honestly hoping that this is just caused by an id10t error on my side.

Re: Horrible Performance with Nouveau

The performance of nouveau is no where near that of the nvidia drivers.

Re: Horrible Performance with Nouveau

What WM are you using?

You do have one warning in the Xorg.log:

[  1036.418] (WW) NOUVEAU(0): Option "PreferredMode" is not used

While I doubt that would cause performance issues, it might be a good idea to remove 20-nouveau.conf and see if a newly generated one helps.

Also, it hasn't been necessary to be in groups like video, audio, etc. for a while now. How old is your system? If nothing else, you should try with a new user made according to current 'standards'. While I've never heard of a user config causing performance issues, it should only take a minute.

How many kernels have you gone through while experiencing the poor performance? If only a few it could be a regression, so try linux-lts and/or a recent graphical live CD or two.

Making a fresh test install to a different medium might also be practical, depending on the age of your system and the time it would take you.

But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.

Yeah I had kind of feared that, I'll probably end up sticking with nvidia in that case.

I'm using BSPWM, pretty much just set up with the default configs.

My system is actually pretty new, recently redone to migrate to an SSD, I had only mentioned the video group since in some old forum posts referring to similar problems, that was found to help.

As I said, I'll probably just stick with nvidia.
