Inadequate performance on Linux (~40 FPS) #110

brandon-arnold commented 2 years ago

Hi all. Thanks for the great work on bsnes-hd! I just tried the VitorVilela7/wide-snes hack for SMW on a beefy machine. It hardly kept up on the title screen, dropping to 40 FPS and skipping music. But I have basically perfect performance running it within Windows on a much lower-powered machine (the Aya Neo Pro).

This is a Dell XPS 17 (9700), which has both a dedicated NVIDIA and an integrated Intel GPU I can switch between using NVIDIA Optimus drivers. I tried both graphics cards with identical results. Perhaps bsnes-hd is not using much hardware acceleration in Linux?

This isn't Linux specific, hardware acceleration's just not much of a thing in this. Your CPU's doing all of the heavy lifting, that's why the readme lists "OpenGL/Vulkan" in its Help Wanted section. That said, I just tried the widescreen mod and my shitty laptop's not really having any trouble running it full speed on Linux. It's got a dual core 2.6GHz AMD CPU with integrated graphics, definitely way worse than an XPS. There's probably just something in your configuration you overlooked. It can heavily affect your performance. settings.bml.zip This is my configuration file, for reference.

This looks more like a support request than an issue. Could you join the Discord (see readme)? Should be easier to help you there. If so, please close this issue.

And thanks for sharing your settings and information, @poudink. I took a look and changed a couple of things on my end to match, but did not have different results. Weird!

@DerKoun Will join the Discord.
