In my case use performance mode and give more fps in native apps and non native apps case wine

Quoting: M@GOidFor a more easy way to change the settings, install the package "indicator-cpufreq"("sudo apt install indicator-cpufreq" for those of you in Ubuntu).

It will show a icon in your taskbar were with 2 mouse clicks you can change to the Performance governor and back.

I use it for both AMD and Intel CPUs for years and it works great, for any DE.

Very good tip

Quoting: elmapulcan you test the other neptunia games? or did you tested already, how many of then can be played from the begining to the end fine?

i know some of then are rated gold or platinum on wineHQ, but they didnt test then all the last time i check

Hi

In my case i have tested neptunia rebirth 1 to 3 too and works good however devenum and quartz must be configured as native previously have before cited libraries in game executable folder

However especially related neptunia improves seriously when change GT630 for GTX 1050, neptunia 1-2 pass from 40-45fps to 60fps* and neptunia 3 pass to 30-35fps to 60fps*

*Still recording at 48fps, record at 48fps normally represent a fps loss around 15 to 20fps depending game

In this wine version add more work in csmt area (in senran kagura flickering in main menu is reduced considerably), maybe another titles with flickering possible show improvements

Respect DX11 in trackmania turbo shows more textures

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9flSvd6qJ8

Another interesting title is neptunia VII and now shows textures correctly compared last time, and now is possible see head character decorations and weapons in game (curiously character render dont appear and same with charecter render in talk sessions but in this sessions appears emotions icons)

Quoting: saildataWhere were you when I was hand linking and compiling each.. individual.. codec.. asking myself do I really need this one too.. I can follow a recipe card lol. Live and learn.

I completely agree with the "your mileage may vary" depending on the game.

I'm a total nerd and basically install it for either strategy or simulators.

You'd think that someone would put two and two together and figure out that sims would sell like crazy on Linux.. but alas I can only blame myself for giving into the temptations.. why should they port it when people like me jump through hoops so they don't have to..

I can, however, say that I still have my original 512GB Nvme with Windows 10 on it just in case Asus ever decides they will update their UEFI and I have to have my windows install to initiate it.

Even with that I haven't booted Windows (for more than the initial warranty registration) in about 3 years.. I had to dual boot in grad school.

If a Linux drive fails totally I'm wiping the factory one though.. just sayin :)

Have you seen anything/anywhere about the latest Rollercoaster Tycoon? People had originally said they would port it to Linux (it IS built on Unity..).

I want to verify before actually paying more than $10-$15 for a Windows game. E.g. Simple Planes... Love that game.

Honestly, as someone else said, the new X-PLANE 11 is amazing on Linux. Best (proprietary) Flight Sim I've used.

EDIT: I can't seem to properly quote a post ( smells like PHP >:-| )

Yeah have cuda - nvenc sdk and ffmpeg all enable is difficult but possible (with guides)

However another important detail respect screen casting is have hard drive dedicated to capture, in my case have one for system and other for screencasting (since around october stay using new hard drive for capture, one seagate survillance series VX001)

In arch them provides simple screen recorder with nvenc support

Windows is necessary still for various things, in my case have windows in another patition bacause anyone knows when is needed as your said

Respect roller coaster is supposed them can provide linux version, however this game type with many objects could be ideal to use vulkan (if them dont have work on opengl now)

I dont like flight simulators however this x-plane 11 is very heavy, remember ask huge hard drive space

Quoting: saildataI seriously had a partition with Ubuntu installed b/c my main rig broke my ffmpeg setup (GTX-1070).

The steps you have to jump through to get a FULL ffmpeg install on Ubuntu is not trivial, to say the least.

Anyways, I ran one last strace today and solved my nvidia-uvm module issues that had plagued me since I believe 4.9 (4.10.1 now).

So no more dual booting Arch with Ubuntu..

The performance is better than before, with cuda 8.0 and they added vp9_cuvid, (decode only), making it easy to do full hw transpiling (*_cuvid) -> (hevc).

I think GPU to GPU transfers are something like 8X faster than RAM to GPU, and who knows about disk to GPU.

I tested today with transpiling a 8k video down to 4k and it was somewhere around 80 or so fps. CPU was around 8-12% b/c I was also on Steam/YouTube lol (@Liam -- that's what 64GB of RAM is for :))

Thanks for your YouTube content as well! I've watched several when trying to determine if something runs on Wine or not ;)

Oh, and to answer the forum question -- Civ6 and DiRT Rally.

Also, I highly recommend Typoman to anyone who hasn't played it/looking for a recommendation outside the other 90% mentioned

.Cheers --

Have ffmpeg with nvenc in ubuntu is complicated as your said, various guides are needed case

https://www.quantstart.com/articles/Installing-Nvidia-CUDA-on-Ubuntu-14-04-for-Linux-GPU-Computing

At least can use libnpp with ffmpeg (i have reinstall cuda-8.0 but disable symlink to usr/local/cuda) and put /usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64 in ld.so.conf after this ldconfig as sudo

Respect nvenc consume minor resources compare GT 630 GK208 (old card), in various titles is possible capture with cpu at 90% or more use without loss frames (this occurs in some titles with GT 630, in this cases is needed capture at 30fps)

Without forget install video driver manually and have all emus i have without no appears conflict dependencies is very dificult, various packages from ubuntu 14.04 are needed case various gtk libraries case pcsx2

One purpouse of channel is give a idea about which games runs in wine (native games and emulators too)

But most important objective is have large duration tests (at least 1st chapter of each game if possible)

Actually many games run in wine but most import is for how much run and which problems can appear in large sessions case:

-stability

-compatibility

-graphics behavior (glitchs if appears and others)

-audio behaviour (pulse, alsa in some games cases like zestiria, god eater 2 rage burst and others)

-input behavior (in which games xinput must be selected as built-in or native) mouse stay all time or leave after some time, actually various games begins need have xinput as built-in in wine cfg) and other issues

Quoting: ShmerlWine is clearly progressing with DX11 features, but performance will be another major area developers will need to address.

I'm not sure how much of this is caused by Mesa as well.

I hope someone with Nvidia blob and recent cards will post more benchmarks.

Interesting but tesselation patch from Guillaume Charifi is possible cant aproved in main branch, staging is different thing

Because DX11 area depend of jozef kucia work, recently in wine-dev them talk about this*

*Apparently jozef kucia tesselation work appears more valid than Guillaume Charifi, however jozef kucia tesselation work dont uploaded

Without forget henri verbeet must be approved or reject patch

Respect performance traditionally dont have high priority for wine devs (staging are different) for them are is more important have function, test function (this is very important to approval patch), after this could be stay compatibility and after this appears performance

In this wine version more work related csmt are added (but in test some games and dont note changes at simple seek)

However more game begins needs xinput libraries as builtin to have input (case senran kagura: xinput1_4 and others)

Quoting: XpanderCan't wait for April statistics to see if AMD CPU share has started to rise.

i myself planning to buy one in March :)

No in begins dont change much because main buyers are FX actual users, this users are amd actual cpu market share

However when appears ryzen 6 core + ht (someplace around april to june), ryzen 4 core + ht (after june) and ryzen based apus after H2 2017 maybe stay more interesting

Another potential buyers stay in users needs heavy multitasking case blender, 3dmax, some adobe programas and others

In before cited case ryzen appears very interesting because this apps use correctly core quantity compared with gaming (in gaming is more common use higher ipc with higher frecuencies)

Without forget pc cost is more cheaper than similar solution on intel (socket 2011v3)
