I recently installed Skyrim on Ubuntu 11.04 with Wine version 1.3.35. I saw this video, and I was like "Holy crumble, how is your game running that quickly!?". I checked the description, and noticed that your computer has more or less the same specs as mine, the one exception being that my graphics card has 1024MB. It's also an Nvidia gt520, but I don't know if that's any better, worse, or equal to the card you have. Cutting to the point, Skyrim runs like crap, 15FPS, low settings. Suggestions?
@fiftybottles Get rid of ubuntu, use BFS scheduler, set your scheduling classes && priorities right, use few wine registry edits which are documented at performance page @ wiki, additionally tweak Xorg, don't use DE, instead use lightweight WM and get rid of daemons that should not be running.
@Cloudef Thanks for the reply! Getting rid of Ubuntu isn't really something that I'd be comfortable doing, and disabling GLSL like everyone says offers no performance boost as well as makes shadows glitchy and books unreadable. Changing OffScreenRenderMode to backbuffer helped, though. Thanks for the reply, anyways! Overclocking my processor also seemed to help, and didn't increase temperature a ton.
How can you run this on High with this specs ? I am using praticly the same processor with a 9800GT and 4Gb o Ram (High Performance), and I have dificulties to run it on Medium on my Windows 7 Installation.... Could it be Windows fault ?.... that would be awesome XD
@aliasbody Dunno, never tested it under Windows. Thought it should perform better under native system. Maybe your Windows system is borked somehow and resources slow it down.
Is there any specific reason you choose to run the -ck kernel instead of zen?

@Ubernoob85 I don't need all the stuff that's been merged to zen.

@Cloudef ive arch linux too. Runs very great on my pentium 4 (i know its old, but on Far cry/ doom3 / FEAR /etc. it works fine)
How can i get BFS scheduler.
Install this package AND WHAT to do after install ?
->Linux-ck
And does BFS work automatically or do i have to control and configure it when i want to play a game ?

@Cloudef i dont ask questions without googling it. I dont exactly understand what to do to activate the linux-ck kernel.
stonix1992 1 month ago
@stonix1992 Wiki has everything you need to know. You need to modify your bootloader (grub, syslinux, etc) so that it boots to -ck kernel

@Cloudef ok i understood and run now with linux-ck kernel :D thanks a lot.
BFS scheduler is normally activated without modifing anything right ?
stonix1992 3 weeks ago
@stonix1992 Yes, however if you want the BFQ io scheduler, you need to either use elevator=bfq kernel parameter or manually 'echo' enable it.

Depending how technical you are, it's not hard. Check out the appdb page.
