Poor Gaming-Performance Intel HD 5500
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
just realized that gaming performance on my Lenovo X1 (3rd Gen) is far worse under Ubuntu than on Windows 10. For example: Counter Strike Global Offensive (low graphic settings at a resolution of 800x600) will perform at much less frames per second compared to using Windows (exact same hardware and game settings).
On the hunt for a solution I came across stuff like mesa, vulkan, etc. but since I switched to Linux not very long ago, my knowledge and experience is still rather basic and Im not sure what to try next.
What I already tried:
- Installed "xserver-xorg-video-intel" from the "oibaf/graphicsdrivers" ppa
- Kernel update to 5.02
- Installed "mesa-vulkan-drivers"
Didnt really help. System Information:

"ust realized that gaming performance on my Lenovo X1 (3rd Gen) is far worse under Ubuntu than on Windows 10" well yeah with intel HD in particular, for which linux has next to no drivers, with nvidia or AMD it would have been a different story but what you're asking here is a tall order. have you tried installing drivers this way : runsudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-driversthen open "Software & Sources" app, go to the aditional drivers tab and see if anything is there. if there is try selecting it and clicking "apply" then reboot. edit oh you did. ok well I'm all tapped out.
