PSA: Poor performance ~4.0ms on default installation

By running

$ osu-wine --winecfg

And enabling the "Enable VAAPI as backend for DXVA2 GPU decoding" checkbox I now get 0.34ms and 1000 > FPS.

FYI, I did not encounter this issue. What GPU are you using and with which driver?

GTX 1060 6GB Driver Version 535.98 Running on Xorg with i3wm

I think I've never heard of that setting affecting performance that much, on my setup (AMD) the game gives the same exact performance with or without it (~0.35ms). Looking into it as soon as I'm on an nvidia setup, I wonder if it's driver-related.

I am running with a very similar system (GTX 1070, 535.98, Linux 6.4.10) on Plasma 5+Xorg, and I don't see any improvement with the option on/off either Have you tried without i3wm? 4.0ms sounds like a frame rate cap to me.

Turns out that DXVA2 has actually been disabled for a while in Wine, so unless you’re using a pretty old Staging build (which is not the case with this script) any difference should be placebo.

I guess in your case it was just prefix doing its things/drivers not updated correctly (?) I’m pretty sure disabling that now in winecfg should give you the same exact performance.

I'm running Arch Linux with everything on latest. Will test without to see if I it changes FPS once again. I found it weird since on a fresh install I'd get 4.0ms so I started messing around with configs and randomly I enabled that option and I started to get 0.30ms which is so weird to me.

[b1scoito]

Just tested. After disabling that option. performance is still great. Probably something related to the first run or the first runs of Wine.

Closing as this sounds fixed 👍🏻
