Title: High CPU load! Post by: TRiLLeNNiuM on October 21, 2011, 01:54:16 AM Hi All,
I have a question. I'm running OA on Puppy Linux Lucid 528 (x86) When i check my CPU load one core is almost always running at 100%!! When i lower my com_maxfps to 77 everything is ok, but when i set it at 78 or higher one core is running immediately at 100%. OA runs just ok and i don't have any problems with it, but i think it's strange. System: Gigabyte gigabyte ga-970a-ud3 AMD Athlon X3 460 Kingston V100 64gb SSD 4 Gig kingston ram Monitor Dell 22" U2212HM Graphicscard: Sapphire ATI RADEON 6570 1024mb Any idea's? Title: Re: High CPU load! Post by: Cacatoes on October 21, 2011, 04:25:44 AM I'm unsure but ioq3 is known to have some CPU bottlenecks, so I think it's normal.
My CPU usage is reasonable when I play, but I'm not surprised it reaches 100% on some platforms, while not causing troubles/slowdowns. Title: Re: High CPU load! Post by: 7 on October 21, 2011, 04:45:44 AM What CPU load do you have at 77 fps?
Have you tried running OA with the default configuration files (move your configuration out of the way and rerun OA)? Title: Re: High CPU load!

Second, what drivers are you using for the Radeon 6570? If your are using the default distro drivers then try to download the latest one from the Ubuntu repository. Lucid unlike Wary is the version of Puppy that is built from Ubuntu's binary packages. If this does not work try the following: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.42&lang=English But if you use AMD's binary build then disable the Catalyst AI as it has been known to cause problems with some ATI cards on the Tech3 engine - http://www.excessiveplus.net/blogs/pacevile/100-cpu-usage-by-quake3-solved GL. |
