Our Linux Game Release Calendar Has Been Slightly Revamped

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: MohandevirThe Witcher 3, best guest on november 1st? Is it just a wishfull thinking or is it based on something more solid? Ok, wishfull thinking might not be the right expression but I'm wondering what is behind this "guess"?

It makes me really glad to think of such a close release even if it's a month or two too early...
That was someone's wishful thinking, I have edited it into 2016.
Thanks for clarifying... Still... Snif! :)

Great news! Going to try it in 5 mins!
Never been totally comfortable with Edgers, mainly due to the fact that it installs and replaces default librairies once it is added.

Quoting: ashleysmithgpuI'm not sure I'm allowed to say much on this yet, but check this post: http://www.gamedev.net/topic/666419-what-are-your-opinions-on-dx12vulkanmantle/#entry5215019 [External Link] for multi-gpu. :)
Thanks, quite a nice link that gives an insider's look on the subject.

In this exemple, you can really see the load balancing between cpu cores and it's great but there's nothing about switchable gpus. They can balance the load in this aspect too, so I read, on pcgaming. They are able to give some tasks to the Intel onboard gpu while the NVidia or AMD graphic card keep its ressources to deal with the most serious tasks.

You are right Dubigrasu. With the GTX 750, Phoronix gets an average of 18fps at High. I get 29.5 fps.

Personnal experience, I tried driver 352 from xorg-edger and got an avg of 29.8fps vs driver 346 (29.5 fps). The bad part is the lowest that drops to 11 fps (352) instead of 15 fps (346). Had a couple of slowdowns and I decided to revert back to 346 and purge Xorg-edger.

I even experienced slowdowns during the startup animations (Feral and WB logo).

Pretty weird behaviors...

Edit: Man I love this game! It's my #1 game. Stole the top spot from The Witcher 2.

My system is an i7-2600 with a GTX-750ti on Ubuntu 15.04 with driver 346.59.

Using the in-game performance test, I get the following results:

Low:
13.38/68.18 (42.56avg)
Middle:
14.40/54.35 (30.11avg)
High:
13.37/52.95 (29.58avg)

I've played for 2 hours without any problems.
Much better than I expected. I really enjoy this game. Thank you Feral!

With my steam controller that I'll get by octobre 15, I sure will be a Good hunter. I restarted my training by playing The Witcher 2 all over again...

Wrapper?! Was he looking over my shoulder while I was writing?! Anyway, a good hunter doesn't care for the means, he is judged for the results. :)

Amd based laptop... Right from the start laptops, more often than not, and because they are often built with custom hardware, have specific drivers made by the builders, even on windows. It's the case with my DELL laptop. You can't downlad a driver from AMD and hope it will work (on windows), you have to use the DELL certified driver. Must be the same with Lenovo. Knowing this, if the cie doesn't support Linux you get exposed to many sorts of weird behaviors.

Take into account the state of Amd gpu drivers, even for a tower... Just take look at the benchmarks... AMD is getting better but still has much to do to be on par with NVidia.

If Lenovo doesn't release their specs, there is not much Linux can do.
