Very poor FPS on Video games.

Hello all,

I am getting very low FPS on all Linux ported games I try to run on steam (1-2 fps) i have been testing this with simple 2D games. The only game that does not run like this is Dota2 that runs better then on my windows Distro at ~120 fps but only when it's using Vulkan and not OpenGl so I have the feeling this is something to do with Mesa/OpenGl. The last thing of note the fans on the graphics card do not start spinning while running games but the motherboard fan does start and gets very loud.

I have run out of things to check and have been unable to find anything on google. Any advice on what to look for would be greatly appreciated.


Things I have already tried:

Downgraded the graphics card driver to 375.10 as there was apparently an issue with the version of driver and OpenGL.

Using Nouveau driver instead of the Nvidia driver. There is not a lot of support for the GTX960 with Nouveau (yet).

Lowering the resolution and all graphic settings as low as possible.

Running games in WINE.


Info:
> Geforce GTX 960
> Driver V : 375.20
> Mesa: 13.0.2
> OpenGL V: 3.0

Re: Very poor FPS on Video games.

Sounds like you're on software rendering - what's the output of "glxinfo"?

Edit: Oh, and which desktop environment? Gnome? On wayland?

Re: Very poor FPS on Video games.

it shows:

glxinfo shows a tone of this kind of thing:
0x06e 24 dc  0  32  0 r  y .   8  8  8  8 .  .  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0 0 None
0x06f 24 dc  0  32  0 r  y .   8  8  8  8 .  .  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0 0 None
0x070 24 dc  0  32  0 r  y .   8  8  8  8 .  s  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0 0 None

"glxinfo | grep direct" shows this:
direct rendering: Yes
    GL_ARB_direct_state_access, GL_ARB_draw_buffers,
    GL_ARB_draw_indirect, GL_ARB_draw_instanced, GL_ARB_enhanced_layouts,
    GL_ARB_multi_draw_indirect, GL_ARB_occlusion_query2,


Also im running I3 on X11.

Re: Very poor FPS on Video games.

Which is completely useless information. Would you mind simply posting (in code tags!) the output of glxinfo as requested?
I should not have to tell that an i3 user, but ... you can redirect "glxinfo > glx.info" and copy/paste the text from there ...
