Capping to 30fps provides a very choppy experience and 40fps provides a very stuttery experience. 35fps is much less stuttery than 40fps and is noticeably smoother than 30fps, therefore it is the recommended way to play if you cannot get 60fps. Information on various framerate capping tools can be found here but the recommended tool to use is RTSS.
Hello, I have an AMD cpu and a NVIDIA gpu, when playing GTAV in lutris and wine I succesfully can launch the game and play for around 4-5 minutes before my pc freezes for a few seconds and black screens. RGB remains on, I believe my gpu is crashing. Trying to recover in tty environment with ctrl+alt+f2 and other function combinations does not work - I have to manually power off and reboot. No audio is present during black screen either - only fans and rgb remain operational.
Here is my global system information, I use proton in steam and in lutris for GTAV I have the Wine version configured as Proton 8.0, I have also tried System (8.13)(default) but the black screen issue still arrises.
Proton runs in a container, which uses a runtime environment and libraries specifically built for use within that container. Not running it as intended results in the container and therefore its runtime not being used, and severely breaks library compatibility.
Call of Duty: Black Ops is the seventh game in the Call of Duty series, which has rapidly become one of the biggest-selling entertainment franchises of all time. As a first person shooter set during the Cold War, Black Ops provides both an immersive singleplayer campaign, and a fast-paced multiplayer component which should be familiar to anyone who has played previous COD games online. The aim of this guide is to allow you to better understand and best utilize the various configuration options available in the game, as well as covering the important advanced tweaks.
What follows are full descriptions for Call of Duty: Black Ops's in-game settings, including screenshot comparisons to highlight the impact on image quality of changing the various settings. Performance information is also provided for every setting, although bear in mind that the precise impact on your particular system depends on your specific hardware combination and your other game and system-wide settings. The aim here is to give you enough information so that you can make an informed choice as to the settings you enable or disable to obtain the precise balance of visual quality and performance which is acceptable to you.

Almost as important as any in-game setting is the way your Windows installation is configured. A great many problems and performance issues, especially stuttering, crashes and sudden slowdowns, can be traced directly to sub-optimal settings in Windows and out-of-date or badly configured drivers. For this reason it is recommended that you download the relevant version of the TweakGuides Tweaking Companion (TGTC) and take the time to optimize your Windows installation correctly. At the very least make sure to update your graphics drivers to the latest available version.
To successfully conduct any tweaking, you will need some way of objectively measuring your performance in Frames Per Second (FPS). The quickest and easiest way to measure your FPS in any game is to use the free FRAPS utility. Download, install and launch FRAPS before starting up Call of Duty: Black Ops. You will now see a yellow FPS counter displayed in the corner of your screen.
Pay attention to the FPS figure, particularly during graphically intense scenes, such as in heavy combat - if it dips into the low double or single digits for example, this is a good indication that you need to adjust various settings until your minimum FPS is consistently above 25-30 in singleplayer, and higher still (e.g. 40FPS +) in multiplayer given its fast-paced nature.
Note that in Call of Duty: Black Ops your framerate is capped to a maximum of around 85FPS, even if you disable VSync. To learn more about VSync, and for the advanced tweak required to remove this engine cap, see the Sync Every Frame setting later in this guide.
To access the in-game settings, launch Black Ops and select the Settings option on the main screen. The settings you can alter here are covered in detail below, but keep in mind that singleplayer and multiplayer settings are saved and applied separately from each other.
In the performance graphs shown, for each setting we start with a "baseline" where all options are set to their maximum, along with 8x Antialiasing and 16x Anisotropic Filtering. From this baseline, we vary individual settings to measure their effect on performance and image quality. The test system consists of a GeForce GTX 460 1GB and Intel Core i7 940 CPU. To see how various combinations of settings work for other Nvidia GPUs in this and other games, check out the Optimal Playable Settings section of the site.
This setting determines the Resolution of the game image, measured by the number of pixels horizontally and vertically (e.g. 1920 pixels x 1200 pixels). The number of resolutions available here is limited by the capabilities of both your graphics card and monitor. The higher the resolution you choose, the more detailed the image will be, with noticeably less blurriness and jaggedness. However higher resolutions also generate an increased load on your system, particularly your graphics card, and hence will reduce your overall performance. For the sharpest image on an LCD monitor, you should select the maximum available resolution here, which is also referred to as your Native Resolution. However the performance impact can be quite substantial, so if adjusting the other settings fails to sufficiently improve your performance, reduce your resolution and consider using Windowed mode to maintain a sharper image, as covered below.
If you want to run Black Ops in a window on your Desktop, as opposed to taking up the entire screen, then select No here. Running the game in Windowed mode can be particularly useful if you want to run the game at a lower resolution but still maintain a crisper image on an LCD monitor. However to prevent problems with memory management and hence overall stability, it is generally recommended that this setting be left at Yes unless you're really struggling for performance.
Anti-Aliasing (AA) is a technique designed to reduce the jaggedness of lines in computer graphics. The higher the sample rate of the AA selected here, the smoother lines will appear in the game. AA can be quite costly in terms of performance, especially at higher sample rates. A screenshot comparison is provided below show you the general visual impact of changing this setting. As you can see, when AA is Off, the tops of the crates on the left are jagged, as is the iron sight on your rifle; at 4x AA this jaggedness is almost completely removed; at 16x AA the improvement over 4xAA is almost imperceptible in a static screenshot, and would only be noticeable during actual gameplay, particularly in terms of removing the 'shimmering' effect which comes with aliasing.
Since at higher resolutions COD:BO isn't a particularly jagged-looking game to begin with, you don't need to set a high sample rate for Antialiasing to get the game looking good - 4x Anti-Aliasing is more than sufficient to remove any obvious jaggedness while still giving reasonable performance. Obviously if you're struggling for performance, AA is one of the first things you should turn Off.
By default, the Anti-Aliasing in Black Ops uses dither mode for alpha blending, which provides a good compromise between image quality and performance. You can improve the quality of AA in the game by going to the config.cfg (for singleplayer) or config_mp.cfg (for multiplayer) file, found under your Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommoncall of duty black opsplayers directory, opening it with a text editor like Windows Wordpad, and changing the seta r_aaAlpha "dither (fast)" variable to have a value of 2 (i.e. seta r_aaAlpha "2"). This enables Supersampling mode which improves the quality of AA applied to objects with see-through portions at the cost of reduced performance. The default value is 1, and you can also use a value of 0 to disable it altogether for improved performance at the cost of visual quality.
The graph shows that Anti-Aliasing is second only to Resolution in the impact it can have on performance in this game. Note 16xAA is slightly faster than 8xAA here as it's using the more memory efficient CSAA mode.
This setting controls the ratio of width to height for the image displayed on your monitor. It should be left at Auto to automatically determine the correct aspect ratio for your monitor. If you find that in-game images appear distorted, such as objects or characters looking squashed, or black bars being shown around the image while playing, then manually select the correct Aspect Ratio from the 4:3, 16:10 or 16:9 options. Refer to the chart in this Wikipedia Article for assistance.
