And in xubuntu 18.04 x64 show configure: OpenCL 32-bit development files not found, OpenCL won't be supported.

Solved with ocl-icd-opencl-dev:i386 package in synaptic

Rise of the Tomb Raider for Linux to release tomorrow, April 19th
18 April 2018 at 5:18 pm UTC

Quoting: GuestIt will probably run like crap on my system. I can run Tomb Raider good so I'll give it a shot. I'm not too crazy about using the beta driver though.

This game is very heavy in my case neither try

According passmark your Q9650 have 1270 points in single thread, and my pentium G3258 @ 4.1ghz give this



But this game must use quad core cpu correctly

Quoting: knroSo do I have to wait until 18.04 is released to play this game? I'm on 16.04 and I don't want to upgrade to 17.10 when 18.04 is 10 days away!

Why dont update now, i update more or less 20 days and works ok (lastest citra needs 18.04)

Quoting: liamdaweI didn't say anything like ; Tomb Raider is not AAA though.

Btw , 396.18 driver need is a bit odd.

In regards to that new NVIDIA driver, NVIDIA seem to be closely watching DXVK and have made adjustments to improve it: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/267#issuecomment-382147467

So...Wine being used with DXVK is actually helping NVIDIA's Linux driver.

Is very impressive nvidia stay interesting in DXVK because them have piers daniell active in thread

OpenGL driver engineer at NVIDIA

Hopefully wine devs talks about DXVK in wineconf in june

Must be integrate in wine because DXVK runs on vulkan hardware compatible (nvidia, intel and amd) and in closed driver (nvidia) or open driver (amd)

2nd generation AMD Ryzen desktop processors now available to pre-order

Quoting: Comandante Ñoñardo
Quoting: ShmerlMost modern games should depend less on single core performance, that's a thing from the past already.

I know, but what about legacy Linux games? All of them are OpenGL and that thing rely on the single core performance.

Yeah for disgrace legacy games and old games in wine need single thread so much

2nd generation AMD Ryzen desktop processors now available to pre-order

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI am thinking about to make an incursion on the AMD territory...

The last time was in 2012, with very poor performance and some 32bit games refusing to work...

I evaluate the long time cost-benefit..

At the end of the year 2014, in the war between Haswell vs Vishera, the best long time cost-benefit relationship was in favor of Haswell, that is way I purchased core i3 4170 (still working in a Gigabyte h97N-WIFI, with a GTX 750ti low profile, in my mother's PC with Ubuntu)

I would like to see a fair comparison using the same amount of cores, the same cpu clock speed, the same memory speed with the same latencies, between i3 and i5 vs Ryzen3 2200G.... Ryzen 5 2400G vs i7.. The single thread performance is very important...even today

In my case only buy haswell for overclock, before highly influenced for single thread performance

Actually for consider next cpu upgrade need shows improvement around 50% more in single thread

Actually have 152 points (since 2014) in cinebech R15 single thread with my pentium G3258 at 4.1ghz

If appear any cpu with 220 points or more in cinebench R15 single thread will be change cpu (quad core cpu dont need more than this)

But with 10nm of intel must be improve temps and frecuencies and same situation must occur with 7nm of amd

Another issue with ryzen stay in single thread but specially with some apps case farcry 3

2nd generation AMD Ryzen desktop processors now available to pre-order

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTSo this is still NOT on 7 nm? Will the next GPUs be? When will we get Raven Ridge 7 nm GPU + CPU? Waiting for this, I guess I won't need my RX 480 then anymore, even though I might lack a bit of performance. :D

This will be main cpu battle of our age in 2019

Intel 10nm vs AMD 7nm

2019 could be great year for upgrade

In my case need who offer more performance in quad core cpu (dual core + ht dont count as quad core)
