The DLC work ok for me except I have VERY HEAVY FPS loss on the World map -- on tactical missions I have 50-60 FPS and the same on the ship, however on the World map I have like 6-7 ... I tried to disable all the mods, but there is smth wrong with the Launcher, and whenever I launch it and look at the mods, all the mods are still enabled. Is there any bugzilla or github for reporting the problems ?
Specs:
CPU: i5-6300HQ
GPU: nVidia 960M, with blob 364.19
Kernel: 4.4

Changing the method of window handling should not influence performance -- it is just a way of getting information from the display server (like X11(...)) where in the computer memory you should be creating images to be presented in your window and what format should it be in (of course it is very simplified definition :) ).

Wow, AMD GPU is supported and with similarly performant card :)

How large is the game folder ? Anyone tried to preload it on a ramdisk and lauch from there ?

I will buy it, just to force feral into porting more square enix games ! (and maybe also because of very high reviews :) )

Git is really nice, well at least until you hit some merge conflicts: https://xkcd.com/1597/ [External Link] ;-)

Quoting: TheRiddickWith NVIDIAS Vulkan driver does it treat every GPU you have as a resource? do games benefit with multiple GPUs yet under Vulkan?

Just wondering because SLI under Linux has always been a bit shaky at times. (better then AMD whom don't support XF or Vulakn atm)

Vulkan offers implementation of multiGPU setups -- it is up to the developer to use it in the engine. With Vulkan it is possible that if you have NVIDIA and Intel GPU's one can be use to render the scene and the other for openCL computations (so physic etc.). However, both GPU's doing the rendering is not so viable atm as the framebuffer needs to be copied for one card to the other (as far as i understand the specification, the frame buffer has to be copied via CPU so GPU framebuffer -> GPU -> PCIexpress -> Interruption -> CPU cache -> CPU -> PCI express -> GPU -> GPU framebuffer [kind of long way :)]). With multimonitor-multiGPU that would work perfectly (with lot of work from developers :) ). The current implementation AFAIK is not able to take advantage of SLI or Xfire buses (probably there will be some extensions from vendors).

D: OS; XCOM2, GRID Autosport; DeusEx HR DC; Tomb Raiders; FIFA (with SteamController support) :)

EDIT: typo

Quoting: stssBut is AMD really even behind? I think the release of drivers supporting a new API would naturally follow the release of the API.
Maybe NVidia has just pushed forward so fast as a marketing move to make everyone think "Oh look, AMD is behind again" and if that was their plan then it looks like it worked judging by the comments.

NVidia just showed up to the party early, and now we're all awkwardly sitting around without anything to actually do waiting for the other guests to arrive. Because the only game that supports Vulkan (windows only) wasn't even really designed to take advantage of vulkan yet (and as someone put it, is just a proof of concept).
The party hasn't started yet and AMD might still show up on time.

I wouldn't say it is good comparison. As for now, developers can only test their code against NVIDIA, so they will learn to find fast paths on NVIDIA cards, they will writes books, guides and howtos based on NVIDIA cards and again ppl start to complain, "oh but my Radeon is so much faster than GF but the developers are bad people corrupted by NVIDIA!"

Quoting: silverphilDoes the nvidia driver support notebook gpus? (i have a GT 650M [kepler])
If so, does anyone know if it works with PRIME/bumblebee somehow? Has anyone tried it?!

AFAIK bumblebee will not work (it is OpenGL only) -- NVIDIA is getting closer to "normal" optimus support (after 10 years ...), they are now implementing semaphores into the intel driver which are required to enable the support. However, maybe nouveau can also manage to support Vulkan soon ?
