Wolves of Midgard

Started Vikings - Wolves of Midgard tonight & noticed it was running funny. First, Specs as follows...

Debian Stretch 9.1
Gnome DE
Nvidia Driver 375.66
Asus B75 mobo
i5 3570
8gb ddr3
gtx 960 reference

Now what I found odd, using V-Sync & 'Low" graphics settings...

Vram usage around %50-60 with Gpu utilization steady at %80 peaking to %100 causing frame rate issues.

I have come to assume nothing in the world of Linux gaming, but this seems odd to me. Shouldn't Vram max out well before total utilization? I have seen many reports of frame rate issues on linux and windows versions, but have yet to find any reasons or 'solutions'.

Curious what comments this forum might have on this games performance and how it uses Nvidia GPUs.

Btw, 1st time poster, this site is great!

Well utilization and VRAM are separate, so hitting max utilizing does make sense. It means it's doing the job. VRAM is used to store various things, so the game just might not have a lot of stuff to store in it. That's about as simple as I can make it, hope it makes sense.

Welcome! :)

I've just yet to see such a ratio between Vram and utilization while playing a native linux game. Tomb Raider & Shadow of Mordor does great with no frame rate issues. Just found it odd is all
