The first GPU comparison in Ubuntu (and Linux in general) using Steam and Serious Sam 3. I used 17...

Same here, the beta is suspended.

BTW tomorrow I will publish my 2-weeks work. I am nearly dead enough... I've tested 17 GPUs...

Indeed. Optimizing is the key, hence Valve needs more feedback from beta testers. For the time being they need to fix the CPU bug.

Windows 8 scores about 50% better performance that Ubuntu in Serious Sam 3. WTF ?:popcorn:

I've just installed Serious Sam 3 in Steam Linux and it seems to work great but low performance though. If you want to measure your FPS just open the console and type prf_bShowFPS=1....

I've just got an invitation for the closed beta! Yeah! It seems that Valve prompts the beta-testers to install experimental drivers. Thanks to Canonical Ubuntu now includes all the proprietary...

Just be cautious using the bypass method, because Valve may ban your account. However, I don't think they should.

I am trying to find a way to benchmark using Steam Open SDK and Autopilot Ubuntu....

Same here, TF2 link does nothing.

I am testing with my Macbook 4.2 using Ubuntu 12.10 and Steam runs just fine! I am using Xorg-Edgers latest PPA for Intel drivers, thus I have not problem with 3D accel. BTW temps are quite higher...

Ok, this thread is for all those lucky enough to have been granted access to the beta to post tips, trickes and bugs (and if possible reports and/or fixes).
Please don't use this thread for general...

Just get your drivers ready: http://ubuntuxtreme.com/howto/how-to-fix-steam-for-linux-video-problems/

cause there is no open source driver support -- except for Intel.

Many FPS titles are taking the lead for the first games ported into Steam for Linux. I would like to see some strategy and RPG stuff though...

Take a look at this guide about Intel Overclocking CPUs (Core i3/i5/i7) http://ubuntuxtreme.com/opinions/basic-concepts-of-overclocking-intel-core-i3i5i7-cpus/

It's sad but true that there are no monitoring tools in Ubuntu and Linux in general. I would suggest your to drop down the memory frequency and try to find the highest FSB value of your motherboard....

These extra cores are intentionally disabled by AMD because of their strange/faulty behavior. You have to manually identify which core issues the post problem and leave it disabled (setting affinity...

Updated to version 1.1

- You can select between X-Swat (stable) or Xorg-Edgers (beta)

Just in case, feel free to give a try using my script and let me know if it works for you :)

Hello guys,

I've made up a script that does the following:


Installs the latest nVIDIA Proprietary Driver
Removes the Proprietary and Installs Nouveau (Open Source)
Fixes any broken...

Hhahahaha Windows 8 is ever worse...

BTW as I promised you guys, there will be many benchmarks with Ubuntu (only) when Steam hit Linux. If you are interested to join us please take part in our...

Currently I am testing my new GTX, so had no time to bench with my Radeon. I can't help with GNOME 3 since I have no experience of that matter. Perhaps guyes over World of Gnome could help you. If...

I've contacted with Unigine Heaven Benchmark support and they provide me with a solution.

http://ubuntuxtreme.com/howto/how-to-run-unigine-heaven-3-0-in-ubuntu-12-04-64bit/
full guide ;)

I am using the latest nVIDIA drivers from X-Swat PPA and Ubuntu 12.04. The Unigine Heaven doesn't run. Have you experience any similar problems?

Is this Ubuntu 12.04 fault or it's a driver issue?...

Not exactly, but I've got your point. Wine has nothing to do with Steam. Steam is a content distribution framework. Wine is a Unix implementation of various Microsoft APIs. Meaning that Steam...
