Okay so today, I was wondering about the gaming side of deepin.. Currently, the only thing hanging me back from wiping windows is gaming. I downloaded dota 2, and got around 30-12 frames per second, this is a laptop with a i5-3230M and GTX 660M. On windows, it was around 60-40 on low. Something that I have picked up is, my laptop is a MSI GE60 and it has this one feature that will overclock the cpu and graphics card when needed. But what I noticed is that the feature didn't come on during game play. What I've read is that, this will only occur when game doesn't use the graphics card but rather the Intal graphics chip on board. This could explain why the frame rate is terrible, can anyone confirm this? And could this be fixed? For me this is a game-breaker for deepin.

Sorry, frame rate depends on your drive, so it's not our problem.

You are talking about the Optimus Technolojy that has been created by Nvidia. It is not being supported for Linux yet, but you can use Bumblebee which is an open source project to switch your graphics card. To install Bumblebee into your system, you can use following commands.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia primus linux-headers-generic nvidia-331
sudo reboot

Copy the Code

After that, you can run your applications in command line by just typing "optirun appname". For example;

optirun firefox

Copy the Code

If you want to install a GUI to manage your applications to run directly with your Nvidia graphics card (without using command line), you can simply install the little tool by applying these lines.

sudo apt-get install python-appindicator git
cd && mkdir git && cd git
git clone https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bumblebee-ui.git
cd bumblebee-ui
sudo ./INSTALL

Copy the Code

Hope this helps you.

Holy ****! This solved the problem 100%. I'm getting better gaming performance with linux than windows now. Time to give Linux all my partitions.

Btw, how can I make it, so bumblebee runs when I run dota 2, without launching dota 2 through bumblebee?

The games are almost English flash games. No need to translate the introduction.

Hi Adjan,

You can change launch options in Steam. Find "Dota 2" in your game library and right click on it. In "General" tab, there should be a button called "Set Launch Options...". Click on it and then write "primusrun %command%" into the field without quotation marks. Click OK. That's all you should do. After these steps you can run Dota by just clicking Play button.

For more information, you can visit https://support.steampowered.com ... ?ref=6316-GJKC-7437.

I hope this will help you.
