Alright somethings not right here. I got rid of my 9700 pro today and tossed in a nvidia 7800gs which is a way better card. But I cannot increase the settings at all in World of Warcraft to get any better graphics. If I do I get the same fps lag I would iwth my other card. Any suggestions? DRI is enabled. I followed the instructoins on http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml. I have tried WoW in both opengl and D3D modes with about the same. I messed around with the detail but i still get about the same graphics.

Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? missing? Because this is not right.

nvidia drivers aren't meant to be used with DRI. Remove it from xorg.conf.

hope this helps. if you need anything else posted just tell me what you need and ill be checking back for the next few hours.

You have got some changing to carry out. Consider starting from a fresh xorg.conf - it may be easier. I could send you my conf instead of clogging up this thread with long posts. Also check your X log to see if anything is wrong.

deadstar · Post by **deadstar** » Sat May 06, 2006 9:54 am

I'd start a fresh xorg.conf using the 'xorgconfig' tool.

Run the tool, then you'll need to make the following changes to your xorg.conf:

- Mouse setting will be wrong, you'll need to change it to /dev/input/mice
- Uncomment #Load "glx"
- Change video driver to "nvidia"

This is the minimal config file for nVidia.

Hell-Razor · Post by **Hell-Razor** » Sat May 06, 2006 9:51 pm

whig sent me his config and i basically used that but i still dont see much of a difference...

whig · Post by **whig** » Sat May 06, 2006 10:30 pm

Dumb question, just covering bases here, is the extra power molex plugged into the card?

Hell-Razor · Post by **Hell-Razor** » Sat May 06, 2006 11:59 pm

lol yes... have a pretty powerful power supply dont remember if its a 450 or 480 though...

Have you tried any linux native games? Wondering if this is a Wine/Cedega only problem...

Also, what's the rest of your system specs?

Hell-Razor · Post by **Hell-Razor** » Sun May 07, 2006 5:02 am

A lot of people (using cedega) say that i am getting below average. Anyway lets see here

amd 64 3000+, 2 gigs ram, 450 or 480 psu.

[EDIT]
i have not tried any native games.

J0rus · Post by **J0rus** » Sun May 07, 2006 5:35 am

I suggest trying a couple linux native 3D games to see how they perform. Quake4 demo, Enemy Territory, UT2K4 demo, etc.

The first thing that pops out at me is you are running AGP. Take a look at the following wiki, specifically the section about AGPVertexRam.

http://cedegawiki.sweetleafstudios.com/ ... f_Warcraft

I know there was an issue with the 8x.xx nvidia drivers that only allowed 24MB of AGP RAM to be used by Cedega. If the above doesn't help maybe try downgrading to the 7x.xx series drivers.

hrm

Code: Select all

Fast Writes:     Disabled

so i added

Code: Select all

 options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1

to my modules.conf, im assuming a modules-update and a reboot is required for this to be hunky dory...

Code: Select all

$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/host-bridge

Registers:       0x1f000a1a:0x00000b02

Code: Select all

$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/card
Fast Writes:     Supported

AGP Rates:       8x 4x

Driver:          AGPGART
AGP Rate:        8x
Fast Writes:     Disabled
SBA:             Enabled

[EDIT] All this was beofre i added the option to modules.conf...when i reboot later tonight or tomorrow morning ill repost if Fast Write != enabled.

That does not answers the question.

That was meant to be
Yes i do have it plugged in.
I also have a pretty powerful power supply, more th an what the min said it should be for the card (getting a psu issue right out of the way)

Wait a minute. They only make the 7800 GT as a PCI-E card, meaning AGP has nothing to do with it. If your 7800 is AGP then it has to be the 7800 GS, not the 7800 GT, so which one is it?

Hell-Razor · Post by **Hell-Razor** » Tue May 09, 2006 5:38 am

shit sorry its the gs, not gt

feld · Post by **feld** » Wed May 10, 2006 7:34 pm

nice to see another wisconsinite in here. I'm only 20 mins south of you!

what nvidia driver version are you using? what kernel version? are you sure you have all the kernel settings required by the nvidia drivers?

as far as kernel version: there have lots of bugs been squashed with AGP over the last few releases.....
