I'm looking for trouble shooting tips on poor graphics performance on linux.
I have read through the FAQ's and done a basic search of the chimera list.
Observed:
Symptom:
Prohibitively slow rendering when just rotating a map, especially if a model is loaded as well. When using Isolde (and presumably anything with clipper) performance is more "normal" as only a small portion of the map is displayed.
System:
This is observed on Ubuntu distros (both 20.04 22.04) with their respective Chimerax packages, tested versions 1.6.1 and 1.9.
Nvidia drivers installed via the cuda toolkit (535.183.01 CUDA Version: 12.2 )
GPUs are either rtx 3090 or 4090s
Point of reference:
Performance is compared to my relatively very underpowered Windows thinkpad w/o discreet graphics.
Thanks for any pointers to resources!
