Gaming service available natively for Linux, major video game companies Linux has been getting more attention fromĬommercial developers as a gaming operating system. You certainly shouldn't have to lower settings, the 8800GT is a brilliant card for Xonotic and you should be able to run it on Ultra settings no problem.This article was contributed by Adam Saunders There is no need to worry about a resintallation being needed every 6 months.
#XONOTIC NVIDIA SOFTWARE#
I haven't looked back since moving to Arch Linux because all of the configuration is down to you, there is no standard set of software and as a rolling release system you can always get up to date.
The software that goes into each distro is more or less the same and will run Xonotic pretty similar, how they choose to set it up is different and it is this which will be more likely to make a difference. Whether it does with every piece of hardware with each configuration is another matter.

The one big exception with NVIDIA was the 75 series when OpenGL 2.0 support was added which gave across the board improvement to Geforce FX, 6 and 7 cards.ĭo you have compositing on? Some different window managers show a different performance impact with compositing enabled and that will be a difference between the 2 distro versions you have tried.
#XONOTIC NVIDIA DRIVER#
Normally it only happens shortly after initial releases of hardware because the first driver releases aren't optimised perhaps, but later on down the line, no improvement is likely to be seen and it may get worse as the driver becomes more bloated with features for newer hardware.
#XONOTIC NVIDIA DRIVERS#
Newer drivers magically giving extra performance is a bit of a myth. I have run Xonotic with a 4 year old NVIDIA driver before and their was no order of magnitude performance difference that you are seeing. I wouldn't blame it on the driver version though.

Early builds of Xonotic ran very well on this configuration. Like I said, other games have no problem supporting this. Xonotic should be able to run well on my setup. Anyway try lowering the settings as much as possible and see if it give any results. Other games don't seem to have trouble supporting 10.04. Not everyone wants to switch distros/upgrade just for one game that SHOULD run well on their system anyway. I would think Xonotic should be able to run better on a wider variety of distros, that would certainly allow room for a bigger user base. That still leads me to ask, why such poor support for what's still considered a modern distro? I haven't upgraded because 10.04 is less buggy than the interim 11.x versions and even still less buggy than 12.04 in some respects. (07-04-2012, 11:02 AM)machine!

I would suggest you take a look at my system tuning guide: Just for a comparison, if you can not beat 292, 287, 255, 236, 187, 82, 42 for each effect level then you have a very broken setup as those results are for my C2D E8200 with a 9600GT and that was before I did some further work. This should take around 20 minutes on your system. This runs the big keybench loads of times on every setting. You absolutely should not have to be switching to anything below high effects.įirst, get some standardised performance numbers by running Xonotic/misc/tools/the-big-benchmark.sh. I run a 9600GT (less powerful than 8800GT) and use Ultra with offset mapping disabled at 1920x1200. that gpu is too slow for Xonotic at that (fulhd) resolution - try to lower the resolutionNo, the 8800GT should be just fine for Xonotic at this resolution and settings.
#XONOTIC NVIDIA UPGRADE#
you know you should upgrade your systemLet's not be too hasty.
