Skyrim - Wine 1.3.32

Skyrim running @ Ultra settings (expect shadows) under Wine.
Linux distro is Arch Linux, running -ck kernel with BFS CPU scheduler and BFQ IO scheduler.

The sound quality is propaply horrible as I don't have stereo mix and am forced to record it with different means.

Video recorded using ffmpeg and x11grab.

PC Specs:
Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz, nVIDIA 8800 GTS 512mb and 4gb of slow ram.

Is there any specific reason you choose to run the -ck kernel instead of zen?

[Cloudef]

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

@stonix1992 Yes, however if you want the BFQ io scheduler, you need to either use elevator=bfq kernel parameter or manually 'echo' enable it.

@Cloudef ok i understood and run now with linux-ck kernel :D thanks a lot.

BFS scheduler is normally activated without modifing anything right ?

[Cloudef]

@stonix1992 Wiki has everything you need to know. You need to modify your bootloader (grub, syslinux, etc) so that it boots to -ck kernel

[stonix1992]

@Cloudef i dont ask questions without googling it. I dont exactly understand what to do to activate the linux-ck kernel.

@stonix1992 google linux-ck arch wiki

[stonix1992]

@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 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.

@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.
