Tomb Raider for Linux is currently super cheap on the Feral store

Quoting: MyeulCI am just a bit afraid of how it might perform on r600/6870. I will at the very least try to grab some family sharing access from a friend, an try it out before buying it.
With a 7870/Mesa, running the benchmark gave me 36/64/87 FPS.
I've only seen a small bit of glitching ingame in one scene so far. In saying that, I've just started with it. YMMV.

EDIT: Just restarted the game and the glitching wasn't there. Might have been a heat issue.

Living in Australia, I ordered mine from Amazon. It arrived about 8 days later.

I've hardly been on my gaming rig the last couple of months. Finally understanding console gamers.

Mythtv + steam makes a nice mix.

A few other games suffer from the problem on this engine. Which is odd seen as the benchmarks of theirs work fine :huh:

Anyone else with a AMD GPU have this problem on here?
7870 here. I've been suffering this bug with Relics of Annorath as well.

GOL Cast: Exploring Consciousness In The Talos Principle

GOTY.

Works nicely off the bat. Even better with the public beta channel.

SysSpecs: AMD 8350, 7870, 8G, Debian Jessie. Custom kernel 3.17.

While not long into it, it's got me. While the common theme is to put it against portal, there's just so much more to this game. More than just a puzzle story, side puzzles, indepth narative, visual glory. It has me wanting to go back to things I've missed and I've been trying to clear it in a linear way. Can't wait to see how it unfolds.

Did I mention GOTY?

PS. If you like to think...

PPS. Take notes inbetween plays. There's a lot to it.

AMD's OpenGL Performance Is Nothing Close To Nvidia On This Benchmark

Quoting: Anonymousamd sucks. I hope they go out of business. I really do.
Agreed, The Nvidia open source drivers are heaps better.

Honestly, I think there is more to it than just Catalyst being crap. I would agree that they aren't as robust as the Nvidia drivers but from personal experience, they are capable and improving. Others through out the years have had similar experiences.

Currently my only long lasting niggle has been with the micro stutter in the heaven benchmark, which I don't experience elsewhere.

I don't have windows, so I can't compare gaming performance between the two. I haven't had the time recently to play to much but The witcher 2, for me, is playable with the latest beta drivers. All other games I throw at it are fine too.

Whether it's my use of Debian stable/testing or my AMD/AMD setups, I'm not sure what accounts for my mostly hassle free experience.

HTPC: 960/6670, stock Debian testing w/ OS drivers.
PC: 8350/7870, Debian testing w/ custom 3.14 kernel, latest Catalyst drivers.

Past rigs I have used a 2600 and a 4870, with similar AMD/AMD setups. I made the switch with the open sourcing news.
