Title: Processor Type
Post by: Xordan on August 28, 2006, 11:04:39 pm
Hi, I realise that the linux binaries aren't totally optimized, and I'm willing to compile specifically for a few more processors to help improve performance, so here's a poll to help me to choose what I compile for! Select what processor you use, and if there's enough demand (remember that several processors will compile with the same optimizations!) I'll add a few more options to the installer and updater! :)

Xordan: I doubt the vote is accurate, I think people didn't read properly. Can't believe so many people are using 64bit OS.

Doesn't matter so much really, there's already a 64-bit binary. If I bring out a more optimized binary then it'll be compatible with both P4/AthlonXP I think.

Linux zen 2.6.18.1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 30 15:32:27 CET 2006 i686 pentium3 i386 GNU/Linux.

I'll edit this once i get everything compiled, but as of now it runs fine on winXP, I expect the same if not better from Linux.

Edit: Ok so that didn't go so well, I soon realised i needed to downgrade the NV drivers, since they were too new for my chipset, which meant i needed to upgrade my kernel, and the kernel sources, which meant I forgot to check if the new kernel supported EXT3FS, which it didn't, i'll reinstall, perhaps another, more forgiving distro, anyone else dread 'Kernel Panic'? Oh and 3GB isn't really enough room for a 'serious' Linux installation  :whistling:

Processor wise I use the following:
Intel Pentium D 925 Processor - 3.0GHz, 4MB Cache, 800MHz FSB, Dual-Core (64-bit ready)
Title: Re: Processor Type
Post by: !kiX! on December 10, 2007, 04:52:30 am
I use Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 Allendale. It has an operating frequency of 2.2 GHz, 2 MB cache, 800 MHz FSB and 64-bit ready. However since 64-bit performance is not only under doubt, but can actually hurt the performance, I am using it in 32 bit mode.

And since the others have also included their other system specifications, I will do the same:
Memory: Corsair XMS2, 2 x 1 GB, DDR 2 675.
Graphics card: EVGA 256-P2-N615-TX, uses nVidia 7600 GT chipset.
Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s.

The operating system that runs all that is Arch Linux. Planeshift was easy to install with it, since it is in our community maintained repository.

Post by: Jonerian on January 15, 2008, 01:51:16 am
Yes. It works very well in Arch Linux. There is a nice package from the community. I also use a plain X-server to play it (normally I also have Fluxbox running). So all my ressources go to the game:
Quote
Pentium III 800 MHz
512 MB PC133 RAM
NVidia GeForce FX 5200 with 256 MB of RAM
I tried it with an on-board Riva TNT Pro before. The tutorial worked great, but when I came close to the map changes or close to buildings like the tavern it took even Minutes to move the mouse cursor.. I actually bought the best PCI Graphics card I could find to be able to play this game, but now it runs very good (for a tech demo)
I guess my next performance problem would be the RAM, because it slows down due to swapping sometimes, but 512 is the max for the mainboard. (I will build another new computer this year somewhen anyways)

I'm running PS on a HP EliteBook 8530w

Linux 2.6.32-22-generic Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
3.5 GB RAM (excluding the 512 MB hogged by the video card)
2x Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T9600 @ 2.80 GHz
nVidia Corporation G96M [Quadro FX 770M]  512MB

I can only run the install from binaries on lowest settings, or my GPU will overheat and kill the system. I already talked to some people about that. I'm now following Leraider's advice to build PS myself with native CPU configuration.

The odd thing is that my Quadro card has no such issues when I run games using DirectX (I've got my system dualbooted with Wiindows 7) though the Quadro has been designed for use with OpenGL. According to benchmarks I found on the internet the Quadro FX 770M should run about twice as good on OpenGL as on DirectX. For me so far it's the other way around.

Planeshift runs just fine most of the time, but I have to keep shader's at Lowest or else the game lags immensely when you try to cast spells.
There seems to be no problems with the processor that are apparent.

There seems to be no problems with the processor that are apparent.

if you check the age of this topic you'll recognize it's pretty old (dates back to 2006)

basically the reason behind this was to check whether it'd be worth it building multiple versions of the client with optimizations for different CPU types (e.g. one for the old i386, another one for CPUs that at least support SSE2) that could potentially speed the client up (not as much as hand-tweaked optimizations, but automated vectorization can already result in a quite big speed up of certain operations).
