Very low fps in cs go

[grejtal]

Hello.
I have really low fps in cs:go. In windows it is about 150 fps and here, in garuda linux, this is 30 fps. Is this normal fps for linux? Ask me all you need to help me solve this issue and I will post it here. Of course I tried googling, but after about 3 hours of trying it didn't give me anything meaningful. Thank you in adnvance

Are you using the dedicated GPU? That doesn't happen by default in Linux.

You also aren't using the proprietary nvidia drivers which will be required to get any kind of performance there.

@grejtal

but after about 3 hours of trying it didn’t give me anything meaningful.

5 sec I got

Welcome to the forum

[grejtal]

Yes, I have seen that thread . Also I tried to look at arch linux forums and have looked also at youtube videos and some other websites like stack overflow, so that wasnt simple blind ordinary asking on the forum (I hope xd). As I have siad, I tried a little bit of googling, so of course, I have checked all the first links. Unfortunatelly, that thread havent helped me. I dont exclude also that posibility, that I didnt understand something from that thread and this could be the reason that I cant solve my problem by myself, but I think that this is unlikely probability.

[grejtal]

With proprietary drivers garuda linux didnt start. I running pc, then it loads grub and I select garuda linux, then it goes loading garuda and then freezes on black screen where it says me that it tries to load linux kernel in z ram (or smth like that). But when I tried open-source drivers garuda linux have loaded normaly, so I can start to use that. My friend, which also is trying garuda linux with me, have loaded open-source drivers normally, but he also has very low fps. As well, internet suggestions didnt helped him . Dedicated GPU? How can i do that? Do you mean "prime-run %command%" which I should paste into Launch Box in steam for cs:go? When I do this, cs:go simply dont run.

[dalto]

You will not get good performance until you get the proprietary drivers working and are using the nvidia gpu instead of the intel gpu.

If it didn't work the first time, you need to try to figure out how to get them working.

Maybe this tutorial could help, after installing proprietary drivers (Garuda Welcome - > Garuda Settings Manager - > Hardware Configuration), in case of black screen or similar:

Computer doesn’t boot, boots to a black screen, or stops at a message

While there are many potential reasons why your installation doesn’t boot to a desktop, the primary reason is that the graphics drivers haven’t loaded correctly so your login/display manager (DM) doesn’t start. This is why you get a “black screen” or stuck at an [ OK ] Started some service message. The normal reason for this is that you have the incorrect driver version for the kernel. This can happens when the mirror you are updating from is not fully synchronised, or times out, and so y…

Hello!

I see you've tried to do a little research, but as i do not know what you've tried and not, ill just post what worked for me in the beginning.

The opensource drivers for Nvidia is unfortunately lacking in performance compared to the proprietary drivers. I'm a newbie myself, but from what i gather you're running a dgpu laptop, which means you might want to opt for video-nvidia-prime-render-offload, video-nvidia-dkms, video-modesetting, and video-linux in the Garuda settings manager > Hardware Configuration. Make sure you reboot after making changes.

After a successful driver setup is installed, you will use the command

$ __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia %COMMAND%

when you want to launch applications using your graphics card.

I hope this helps. Ill download cs and see if i have any issues on my inferior dgpu.
