MaryCallahan Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Hello everyone. Yesterday I changed on my laptop (which uses an Intel HD620) windows for Fedora 31 but now I've got a problem. In windows, I hadn't issues with textures. Everything looked great. However, in Linux, I suffer texture trashing. In Firestorm, now I can't select more than 512MB of VRAM in opposite to 768MB that I could select in windows. Teorically, I could use until 3GB: $ glxinfo -B name of display: :0 display: :0 screen: 0 direct rendering: Yes Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer): Vendor: Intel Open Source Technology Center (0x8086) Device: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 620 (Kaby Lake GT2) (0x5916) Version: 19.1.8 Accelerated: yes Video memory: 3058MB Unified memory: yes Preferred profile: core (0x1) Max core profile version: 4.5 Max compat profile version: 3.0 Max GLES1 profile version: 1.1 Max GLES[23] profile version: 3.2 By other hand, use windows version under wine it's impossible. It says me that drivers aren't installed so I couldn't try this way. Any ide to fix this problem? Thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirly Fizzle Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I'm by no means a Linux expert but it's possibly a problem with the mesa graphics drivers. Is it possible for you to install non-mesa graphics drivers directly from Intel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryCallahan Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) They don't exist. Intel drivers, like AMD, are Open Source, so they are part of Mesa drivers. It's weird because I've got a good performance with other 3D games (Inside limits of iGPU, of course) Edited November 10, 2019 by MaryCallahan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarissaOrloff Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Intel graphics on FS linux really arent that good. A lot of juggling of memory unfortunately and yes... a max of 512MB texture mem Try doing things like turning down the draw distance to 32 or 64 to save on video mem. For linux its best to choose a laptop with a discrete Nvidia GPU (if thats an option for you). If you have the RAM available you could always try making a ramdisk for the cache. That might help a tad or two... or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirly Fizzle Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I asked one of the Firestorm developers about this problem & they said it was probably a case of FIRE-23299 - Memory bloat in Linux viewer since 5.1.7.55786 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
