I have the following setup:
Ubuntu 7.10 Pentium 641 CPU (3.2ghz) 1GB ram 256mb nVidia 8600GT
The client runs fine (after disabling Compiz) in deep space, but as soon as a decent number of entities are spawned near me it turns into a slideshow. My graphics card certainly shouldn't be having any problems, and the CPU while not particularly beefy ought to be able to cope as well I'd have thought.
However (non-cache) memory usage spikes up to around 90% so I'm suspecting that's the most likely issue.
Is there any chance someone could give us a run down on what aspects of the engine in particular tend to be bottlenecked by which parts of the PC architecture?

Sounds like normal Eve behavior to me. Do you have a comparison?

Yeah it's fine on Windows on the same machine.
When I say it slows down with entities around I mean just being in our POS with a couple of parked ships, couple of refineries and hangers, and it's down around 5-10 FPS.

Sounds to me as bad configuration.. can you give us more info on your GPU and a paste of glxinfo?

I've noticed this with EVE under wine...its just not the same. Since they are useing Cedega here I imagine performance is similar to wine (I compared it myself and found wine to be faster a couple months back). Until CCP writes a native client we aren't going to get Windows quality rendering and speed :/

Not sure what else I can say about my GPU to be honest, but here's a paste of glxinfo http://pastebin.com/m738c27f0
Ubuntu nVidia driver package:
nvidia-glx-new 100.14.19+2.6.22.4-14.9
I did have a *similar* effect with Wine, although it wasn't as bas as this.

can you give a paste of either cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status
or
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/registry
Which one depends on whether your AGP or PCIE. But either way, nvidia drivers dont set acceleration by default. Main thing your looking for is EnableAGPSBA and EnableAGPFW. Those are hardware acceleration options, they should be set to 1

I've tried enabling fast writes and sideband addressing (by adding "options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1" to /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc ) but I'm not sure my motherboard supports it as after restarting it's still disabled (I'm on PCIE)
Actually thinking about it again, AGP fast writes aren't going to work on a PCI-E card are they? :p

Also when you say 'acceleration' I presume you mean hardware 3D acceleration? That's definitely enabled, otherwise Compiz would be unusable and I wouldn't be able to play games at any kind of decent frame rate (Enemy Territory:Quake Wars works fine).
