Low FPS in game

Hi guys,

I got very low fps when running CSGO, like 20-30 fps in game,
I use the default drivers, maybe they're not optimal,

Here is my config :

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4210M CPU @ 2.60GHz Quad Core
NVIDIA Corporation GM107M [GeForce GTX 950M]
RAM 8Gb

Anyone know some tricks to increase my fps ?

Re: Low FPS in game

What do you mean by default drivers? Have you tried using the nvidia driver?

Re: Low FPS in game

I never download any drivers as i though archlinux did it for me,

I'll follow this wiki, thanks !
mesa-libgl is conflicting with nvidia-libgl, i'll delete mesa hoping it will not going into troubles.
If i understand well, steam is 32-bit on archlinux ? so i have to install lib32 nvidia packages,

Thanks,

Re: Low FPS in game

If you intend to remove mesa-libgl and want to run exclusively on the nvidia card (at the cost of battery life) you should look into the additional configuration you have to do as detailed here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus under the Use Nvidia header.

Re: Low FPS in game

Damn i broke my system !

I reboot the system after download nvidia-libgl and lib32-nvidia-libgl (erasing mesa-libgl and lib32-mesa-libgl cause it was conflicting with nvidia),
When the system restart, he show this message,
"Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again."

Is there a way to recover my system ?

Re: Low FPS in game

I'd guess that you are using Gnome.

Gnome with wayland (which is the default) doesn't currently work with the nvidia proprietary drivers. You need to run Gnome with X instead (you can select this from your DM).


No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: Low FPS in game

Yes i understand what you mean but i cant even reach the log screen,
When archlinux launch, it failed and display a white screen with the message "Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again."
I cant do anything but click on the button "Close session",

Re: Low FPS in game

Can you log into another terminal using ctrl-alt-F3 (or some other number) and use the command line to fix stuff?

Re: Low FPS in game

I uncomment the line #WaylandEnable=false from /etc/gdm/custom.conf, and restart the computer,
I checked, the file has been well uncomment, but when i restart the computer, i get the same error,
So its supposed to start with Xorg now, but it didnt fix the problem,

Any idea about that ?
Thanks for your supports !

Edit : i think i can install back mesa libs to fix it with my olds drivers, but the purpose is to install nvidia drivers,

Re: Low FPS in game

Did you do this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus#GDM If it doesn't work even with that, it might be that  GDM has an issue with the Nvidia override, you might want to use another display manager or simply startx to test.

Re: Low FPS in game

Okay i'll try another one cause it look like it doesnt work with me,
I create and fill the optimus.desktop and modify the custom.conf file of gdm like they ask to do, but nothing, still the same error.
Maybe i miss some steps, im new on archlinux i just install the drivers and rebbot the pc,
I'll try some other dm, like kdm i think,

Thanks for the support !

Edit : Is there some logs anywhere to track whats going on ?

Re: Low FPS in game

for GDM logs you have

journalctl -u gdm

for general potential Xorg issues there's /var/log/Xorg.0.log KDM is not being further developed, you might be able to use SDDM just make sure to add the necessary xrandr command to the corresponding files, as mentioned on the Optimus Wiki page

I read that was numerous bugs around the latest version of gdm,
I post this in case someone know the issue of this error,
If not, i'll try SDDM for sure,

Thanks for your support !

Dumb question, do you have xorg installed? What does pacman -Qi xorg-server | head -n3 say? Xorg is not installed by default, and it may not have been pulled in as dependency when you installed gnome.
