BartNijland Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I'm running Leopard fine now with a AMD 6000+ and a 8800GT. But the only problem is, gaming performance sucks ass, it's really slow (and by slow i do not mean 10,20 FPS but 1,2 fps). I got everything enabled and used the official 8800GT driver (with some tweaks that i found here) to install. My XBench is 155 (which is kinda low for a such a good vid.card). My question is: will a Intel processor solve this problem?

cyclonefr Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 can you try the other DVI port ? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110627-low-fps-because-of-amd-processor/#findComment-783892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartNijland Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 The tutorial cleary said that I needed to use the left DVI port else it wouldn't work, so i'm sticking to that.But the weird thing is, simple 3d games like Chess run really slow too so is it some kind of openGL issue ?Weird thing is that games like Chess are slow too (when rotating the camera). So maybe it's a openGL issue? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110627-low-fps-because-of-amd-processor/#findComment-784116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
realfolkblues Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 your card agp or pcie? agp will be slow. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110627-low-fps-because-of-amd-processor/#findComment-784157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_muad_dib Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 it's mostly because of the wrong rtc management for AMD, but luckily it will be fixed on near future kernels Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110627-low-fps-because-of-amd-processor/#findComment-784225 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sg Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 why dont you just try the other different port? do you not have any hands or something? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110627-low-fps-because-of-amd-processor/#findComment-784882 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartNijland Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Can't you reaD? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110627-low-fps-because-of-amd-processor/#findComment-785880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 i read that you refused to try the other port simply based on a tutorial telling you not to. your computer your blow up or anything if you just swap ports, its called 'troubleshooting'.

BartNijland Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 I've already tried to do that, it did do exactly what the tutorial stated it would do.. nothing!

vbetts Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 your card agp or pcie? agp will be slow. 8800gt only comes in PCIE. Plus, even if it was AGP, it's running an x2. AGP really isn't a big bottleneck, the biggest bottleneck is the platform AGP is being used for, like old Pentium 4s and Athlon 64s. AGP hasn't been maxed out yet in bandwidth really yet, and PCIE x8 hasn't at all either. my suggestion use LEO4ALL V3 I run Leo4All v3 on another AMD rig of mine, I haven't had any problems with it either. But to the question, no an intel processor won't fix it completely. It could just be compatibility issues, which the intel cpu wouldn't fix it, it would just replace the issue to where it's not a problem.
