[SOLVED][0.17][Linux] FPS 3.3 with default settings on GeForce GT 630

Post by jgcampbell300 »

Factorio 0.17.28
FPS/UPS
3.3/60

All Default settings
I have tried lowering all settings and can get it up to FPS 5.0

[CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5450 @ 3.00GHz, 8 cores, RAM: 24110 MB]
Initialised OpenGL:[0] GeForce GT 630/PCIe/SSE2; driver: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 384.130

Fresh download and upgrade from factorio.com
Lowered settings for all graphics I could see

Cant seem to find a way to get FPS above 5

I can't tell if it's active or not, but try disabling vsync if it's currently enabled. I'm slightly suspicious as to what might be happening with the "0Hz" displays being reported.

Hello, 5 FPS or less is on par with software rasterization, so despite log saying it runs on GT 630, I believe OpenGL is operating in software emulated mode for some reason on your computer.

Can you run glxinfo and post here info it dumps?

Thanks. I don't see anything wrong with the driver in glxinfo, so rendering seems to be GPU accelerated; I am going to forward this onto our Linux devs.

EDIT: nVidia is still releasing new drivers for your model of GPU, so try to update the driver, if possible: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverR ... 5182/en-us

Things you may want to try:
Run nvidia-smi in a terminal window on your secondary display.
A simple way is running

Code: Select all

watch nvidia-smi
Using watch has the advantage over using the repeat function built into nvidia-smi, that it won’t scroll the output arbitrarily.

This’ll tell you if it is exhausted VRAM or the GPU running at 100% load. If it hits neither limit, there is some other software issue.

Do the FPS increase, if you detach the secondary display?

Have you tried to install the new graphics driver?
If you run the command luziferius suggested, is GPU is under any load at all when the game runs?

With Game running

What i find odd is that it only uses 367MiB when .16 would jump to atleast 600MiB and after playing for a bit would jump to 1000MiB or so, and both GPU's memory gos up instead of just one ... just find this a bit odd

Any Ideas?

Unfortunatelly, I don't know how to diagnose this any further on Linux, I am sorry :(

I only have bad advice:
1) Try to install Windows
2) Try different Linux distro (even as live boot on USB stick)
2) Try to ask for advice on some Linux forum

There is one other thread with the similar issue: 67255
