Quoting: ZekThePenguinThere are little to no actual ruins or tombs to explore at Stonehenge, so I'd lean more toward Far Cry Primal than Tomb Raider.

There are little to no actual ruins or tombs to explore in the new Tomb Raider, so it could still be Tomb Raider.

Oh yes. I went there.

Quoting: tuubiTry Settings -> In-Game. Needs the Steam Overlay to work. It's just a simple FPS display though.

For those rare moments when I feel like eyeball-benchmarking something, that's all I need. Thanks. :D

Quoting: wojtek88Thanks @tuubi, it seems that's it. I gave it a try and I must say it is a nice way to do a benchmark, but for most cases Steam in-game fps counter does the job (without temperature of course).

I didn't know Steam had a built in FPS counter. Where's it at?

Quoting: Mountain ManI've heard the "engine tweaks" were of questionable value anyway.

It got rid of 99% of the stuttering for me on Linux.

But to get on topic, once I got the patch, I reverted my .ini file to its original state, jacked every setting up to its absolute max, and jumped into the game. The stuttering is GONE, but missions seem to be capped at 30 FPS. It never goes above it, never goes below, save for the occasional I-Can't-Believe-I'm-Mentioning-This dip to 29.5 or so. While I'd like to see the framerate a little higher, it's perfectly playable.

Though the stuttering still shows up in the Avenger. It's not nearly as bad as it was, but it's there. Framerate floats around 17-20 FPS, as well.

Oh, and the red sparkly tint in the shadows [External Link] is still around.

It's quite a bit different than Thief. I haven't played too much yet, but from first impressions, I'd describe it more as a stealth based sandbox puzzle game (...if that makes any sense) than a proper, straightforward sneak-em-up.

That's not to say it isn't good. Seems pretty cool from what little I've seen. Once I finish getting my Steam controller set up properly for it, I'll give it a solid go.

Oh, and I also get the purple tutorial videos.

Quoting: Eike(With a Steam controller, the package is waiting for me today! Yeah!)

Enjoy the Steam Controller, man. I got mine through the same deal, and while it does take a bit to get the hang of it, it's awesome once you do.

Quoting: wolfyrionI want to believe that is still too early to judge Vulkan API.

Vulkan API has to be superior or at least on par with DirectX otherwise cant see the point of a new API :(
10 FPS More than OpenGL is disappointing. Oh well lets hope things will be better...

The important thing is that, going by that graph, Vulkan could put Linux performance almost on par with DX11, solving what is currently the one biggest weakness for the platform in comparison to Windows.

That's impressive for a brand new release. I expect we'll see even more improvements as the API matures.

Perfect timing. My Steam controller comes in today, and I hated the idea of having to bounce into big picture mode to make any changes to it.
