I guess I need some help here... I've finally managed to compile FG on the new computer, then copy my FGData here, and... it works. But the framerate is abysmally bad.
It doesn't seem to be Flightgear though... When I open the NVIDIA X Server Settings while FG is running, I can see the various performance levels with Graphics, Memory and Processor Clock speed. The problem seems to be that I never get above performance level 1 which gives me 73 / 324 / 147 Mhz, whereas 3 would have 597 / 1500 / 1195. So no wonder the framerate is low. I do see changes in performance level from 0 to 1, and I can change the Preferred Mode from 'Adaptive' to 'Prefer Maximum Performance' - the latter option locks me at level 1, whereas the first option occasionally clocks down to level 0. Now, I have no idea what is going wrong here. There's no second GPU onboard, i.e. I'm not having an optimus problem, I'm getting to see one device and one device only. The driver is the 304.60 native NVIDIA driver obtained from rpmfusion as recommended by Fedora. The graphics cards is the GeForce GTX 670M which is listed as being supported by that driver. The distribution is Fedora 17. The thermal sensor is of the opinion that the card is quite cool (42 deg), so I'm not seeing heat problems here. So for some reason, the driver fails to bring the card up to the serious performance levels, and I have no idea what the problem could be. Has anyone any idea where to look for a solution? I don't really want to swich to Windows to run FG... * Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
