Hi

I have installed ubuntu 16.04 and got ezquake 2.2 32bit. (The pc is rather old )
Turned refresh rate of samsung rz 2233 to 120 hz and show_fps returns maximum 120 fps.
When i had 60 hz refresh then show_fps returned max 60 fps
Seems like i cant get more fps than the refresh rate of monitor?
Tried different configs of fellow quakers and all variables of cl_physfps, independentphysics and so on and max returned of show_fps is 120 .
Timerefresh gives me above 1,5k fps.
I have ati radeon 4870 graphic card - the drivers are those build in ubuntu.
Is this the drivers fault, or there is a secret and misterious command such as vid_do_me_good 1 ?
Cheers

/vid_vsync 0

Have you tried that?

yup - and it doesn't do the trick

Try

and see if it helps.

Also note that ezQuake 2.x is no longer supported. I recommend you to upgrade to v3 as it's a major upgrade for Linux users. You'll probably get better performance too (although not as good as it could be, but I'm planning on looking into that in the future)

thanks dimman ill try it tonight
can you tell me where can i download 32 bit version of ezq v3 ?

For Linux I recommend building it from sources (see the COMPILING_ON_LINUX.txt in the repository).

vblank_mode=0 ./ezquake-gl.glx
it doesnt work and i also have this thing returned in terminal:
ATTENTION: default value of option vblank_mode overridden by environment.

Ok, then I think you'll have to add this


to your Xorg configuration file for the card.

Try googling it and I think you'll find exact details on how to do it for your Ubuntu version and AMD card.
Fairly sure that will solve it.

thank you for your help
it seems my attitude "linux - ez" was a mistake
i apologized whole system, and started from the beginning - ubuntu manual \

EDIT:
Ubuntu 16.04 hand wrong drivers for my pc ( there was some hardware problem) so i switched to linux mint mate coz i got rather old pc.
And in that distribution everything works fine
That fps problem was solved by vblank_mode=0
Thanks dimman.
