Getting around 130fps avg frames, sometime dipping down into the 80’s, when playing CS2. Did a recent system upgrade and presumed performance would be better than this for the build?
Gear:
- Ryzen 7 5700x 3.4ghz
- 6750XT 12gb ddr6
- 16gb 3600mhz ddr4
- m.2 SSD
- 144hz , 1440 screen with freesync
- Running Mint latest version
Have tried in-game settings at lowest, still not managing to get a stable FPS above 144. Mucking with settings doesn’t seem to change performance much. Have set game to run with ‘-vulkan’ which helped reduce some stuttering issues, but not much performance gain.
I also only get <100fps with other games like BG3. Figured this kit would be able to handle modern games a bit better. Any ideas what’s going on?
EDIT: For future reference, the following changes were made and am now getting ~200fps
- Enabled asus EZ Tune in BIOS (rather than manually muck with each setting)
- Updated gpu drivers via ‘amdgpu -install’
- Enable gamemode
There are some bugs with recent kernels and 6XXX cards. Try kernel 6.5.X and also look at the workarounds here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1500
In addition, make sure “Above 4G decoding” is enabled in BIOS/UEFI so you get resize rebar support.
Beyond that, make sure you’re using mesa (and not amdvlk) and that’s it a version from this year at least (23.X.X)
Resize Rebar was something that was previously switched off I discovered. Turning this on via the Asus EZ Tuner made a great difference. Found im still on a Mesa 22.x driver for some reason, despite running latest driver update, and my kernal is showing 5.15.x, despite having all OS updates installed… will need to investigate, perhaps a Mint issue. Thanks!
