Good news for all, as F1 2017 [Steam, Feral Store] for Linux will work on both NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards with Vulkan goodness.

If you blinked one too many times and managed to miss it, Feral Interactive confirmed previously that F1 2017 on Linux will use Vulkan. This made a few people think AMD support might be a bit iffy, but I'm glad to see Feral is once again supporting Mesa!

Minimum specs:

  • 3.3Ghz Intel Core i3-3225
  • Ubuntu 17.04
  • 4GB RAM
  • 2GB NVIDIA 680 or 3rd Generation AMD Graphics Core Next (Volcanic Islands) graphics card or better.

Recommended specs:

  • 3.5Ghz Intel Core i5-6600K
  • 8GB RAM
  • 8GB NVIDIA 1070 graphics card or better.

Intel graphics cards are not supported. NVIDIA graphics cards require drivers 384.90 or later. AMD graphics cards require Mesa drivers 17.2.2.

I said to use the NVIDIA installer "if necessary" :) Definitely if there's a PPA or whatever available then it'd be better to use that. I just meant to install it manually if you have no better option to get that version.

I got 384.90 on 16.04 with the extra repo. Interestingly vulkan support was broken and needs a json file tweak. If you have vulkan issues google driver name and vulkan and json.
EDIT I'm in an ok mood so here:

Quoting: scaineYou've got to be joking, right? Installing drivers... from a website? Not having to deal with that, ever, is one of Linux's greatest joys.

More seriously, the last time I tried to install Nvidia's driver from their website, I gave up. It's a weird process involving downloading a tarball, extracting, setting executable, running, specifying a bunch of parameters, and the end result is... a DEB file!

You can try smxi. This script will download the driver, install it and deal with the parameters. It is really robust.

Thank you for clarification.

Once again, no AMD CPUs are mentioned.

I guess any comparable 'dozer or 'zen should be fine. :)

6600K is mentioned at 3,5ghz and since we know that Ryzen instructions clock per clock is pretty close to skylake, it should also mean that 3.5ghz ryzen cpu is recommended.

Maybe they should, but it doesn't mean they would. Many Feral games perform poorly with my FX-8350, including Grid Autosport, Mad Max, Life Is Strange. Newer games perform better than older ones, but still much worse than their Windows versions.
If Feral don't note AMD, that means they don't guarantee their game will run fine unless you have Intel and they haven't been testing it on AMD.

That's my question too as I've got an AMD CPU (Phenom II X6-1100T) and a GTX 960 4Go as graphic card.

Will that game work with my config (1680x1050) ?
