[Bug 996343] Re: Game performance is choppier with compiz enabled (not unity)

2012-10-08 Thread j-stuffer
Hi, I hope this is the right bug report to comment on :)

For me several games still run really slowy in Unity, but run okay in Unity 2D 
or on a seperate X-server. Recent examples are Dustforce, Oil Rush and 
Jamestown. For example Oil Rush with ultra/high has 53 fps in the main window 
on a seperate X-server but only has 33 fps and very laggy mouse cursor under 
unity. Dustforce and Jamestown are not even 3D-games and have very simple 
graphics but are very slow in Unity. Both run really smoothly in Unity 2D or on 
a seperate X-server (ctrl+alt+f1, log in and then startx 
/usr/bin/ck-launch-session /opt/jamestown/Jamestown -- :1).
I also tested:
- Gnome Classic with effects: Same issue as with Unity 3D
- Gnome 3 Shell: No problems

The cause for the problem could also be the proprietary nvidia drivers.
For example Jamestown and Dustforce on my main PC (Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz,
GeForce GTS 450) have performance problems with Unity. But on my laptop
(Dell Studio 1558 i3 with ATI 5740, I think) both games run okay (didn't
test Oilrush, as the download is very big). And that's a bit surprising,
as my Desktop PC overall should provide a lot more gaming performance
than my Laptop.

2012-09-07 Thread Nate Wiebe
This bug should have a high priority. With Valve wanting to put their
chips into Ubuntu, Unity out of the box needs to be able to keep up with
the others. Looking at these benchmarks:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=ubuntu_1210beta_desktopsnum=1

This IS NOT the case. When running fullscreen opengl applications, there
needs to be a way to disable desktop effects or something that will get
the framerate to where it should be. Otherwise I could definitely see
new users thinking, I'll give Linux a try. use Ubuntu, have a terrible
gaming experience (Due to low frames) and either go back to Windows, or
buy an Apple PC.

I know I sound a bit crazy, but Linux's big chance is coming up, and we
have to be ready if we want this to take off.

play games at a reasonable framerate.

I've read around and noticed that Xdamagereport seems to dramatically
increase performance of compiz under 3D.

https://code.launchpad.net/~vanvugt/compiz/XDamageReport/+merge/108307

Does Daniel's PPA contain this fix? Would love to test it out and report
back to see if it fixes the issue.

That fix is not in any PPA and won't be for a while. First I found a
theoretical problem with it, then I found it causes real regressions
(occasional minor damage artefacts). So I removed it not long after it
was committed. More work is required before users can or should test
that change.

** Description changed:

  When compiz is enabled, all of my games have a slight jag to them,
  skipping a few frames every second. This choppiness can range from
  merely annoying to headache-inducing, depending on the game. This is not
  Unity-specific as running a unity-less compiz session still presents the
- issue. Furthermore, this is not an Nvidia binary issue as the nouveau

Yes, sir. Thinking back, this choppiness came into compiz when I started
using your ppa during Oneiric (vv6 rings a bell but I'm not certain at
all). I recall removing the ppa at one point to have my games work
smoothly again.

Interesting, because disabling vsync should, in theory, revert back to
the older scheduling algorithm which apparently worked for you.

2012-05-14 Thread Daniel van Vugt
Another idea: This could be the known problem with glFinish (in the
default rendering path) slowing down rendering. glFinish was introduced
to eliminate tearing. To work around it try CCSM  Workarounds  enable
Force full screen redraw (buffer swap) on repaint. That will use the
simpler glXSwapBuffers code path which usually provides faster frame
rates and much better smoothness. And without tearing.

We have several ideas in mind for ensuring the latter is enabled by
default in 12.10 (see bug 901097). But some other code needs to be fixed
before we can turn it on for all users.

[Bug 996343] Re: Game performance is choppier with compiz enabled (not unity)

2012-05-11 Thread Chauncellor
** Description changed:

  When compiz is enabled, all of my games have a slight jag to them,
  skipping a few frames every second. This choppiness can range from
  merely annoying to headache-inducing, depending on the game. This is not
  Unity-specific as running a unity-less compiz session still presents the
  issue. Furthermore, this is not an Nvidia binary issue as the nouveau
  driver makes no difference. Disabling vsync or manually setting my
  refresh rate makes the issue worse. Also, desktop animations appear to
  be smooth with no problems (though they may just be too short to really
  notice).
  
  Game performance is butter-smooth when I use Ubuntu 2D. Not a hiccup to
  be had.
  
  For an example of the choppiness, please see the video. Watch the
  clouds. Since the video was recorded at only 15 fps, the choppiness is
  slightly higher than what I actually experience.

** Description changed:

  When compiz is enabled, all of my games have a slight jag to them,
  skipping a few frames every second. This choppiness can range from
  merely annoying to headache-inducing, depending on the game. This is not
  Unity-specific as running a unity-less compiz session still presents the
  issue. Furthermore, this is not an Nvidia binary issue as the nouveau
- driver makes no difference. Also, desktop animations appear to be smooth
- with no problems (though they may just be too short to really notice).
+ driver makes no difference. Disabling vsync or manually setting my
+ refresh rate makes the issue worse. Also, desktop animations appear to
+ be smooth with no problems (though they may just be too short to really
+ notice).
  
  Game performance is butter-smooth when I use Ubuntu 2D. Not a hiccup to
  be had.
  
  For an example of the choppiness, please see the video. Watch the
  clouds. Since the video was recorded at only 15 fps, the choppiness is
  slightly higher than what I actually experience.

I've got the same thing, the lower you put the graphics quality the
worse it gets
