Rise of the Tomb Raider has a new opt-in beta to help with NVIDIA issues

Quoting: PompesdeskyNot totally related as I have AMD hardware (RX480), but I couldn't succeed in launching the game so far.

I have the latest stable MESA drivers (18.0 I guess) and thought Vulkan support was included in them but it seems it is not and that Vulkan needs to be added somehow on top of MESA. I have already looked for some info and added a Vulkan package to my distro (Mint) but there are probably some more steps as it still tells me I don't have supported drivers and crashes on launch :(

You may need to add vulkan-radeon or it might be called vulkan-mesa

Can't really help further as not using mint

Edit.

Make sure you have vulkan-icd-loader too

Quoting: ScooptaYeah. As someone else mentioned the DRM is probably the publisher's decision not the devs and therefore not Feral's.

There are ambiguous statements on this from Feral themselves. To avoid too much off-topic in this thread, there is one specifically about it.

Already use it but it's not really comparable to wattman on windows

Quoting: pete910I was kinda hoping that AMD's Wattman would come to us but I should doubt it will :(

Quoting: DisharmonicActually there's Wattman like functionality in 4.17

Yep! This is what I was referring to and I personally can't wait.

QuoteInitial wattman-like support

Taken from here, which is also referenced in the above phoronix link. Thanks Disharmonic.

I was referring to the actual program that's part on the AMD driver on windows, not the underling functions

Quoting: pete910Does the FE use have different clocks to the rx64 ?

Yes, The FE has higher base and boost clocks, though mine does throttle a bit unless I force the fans/undervolt (currently not possible on Linux - waiting for 4.17). After my exam I'm going to give it the liquid metal treatment to see if that improves things a little bit.

May be the difference then, Mines under water and rarely hit's the 50's even after a few hours, warmer weather it will I should think.

Quoting: pete910Here's mine @1440p V-High preset FXXA

Our resolutions aren't that much different and yet there's ~30ish frame difference so it really makes me want to retry with Mesa 18. Might have to fire up Fedora/Ubuntu...AFTER my exam that is.

I know it's not a huge jump but actual number of pixels extra on your res is quite a few. Though going on you have a TR I would have thought you'd be closeer than 30 ish.

Quoting: liamdaweAnd yes, it's a massive burden for webmasters. I'm not against it though, privacy is massively important, just the way the EU is going about it isn't great for smaller sites like us. Even though GOL is hosted in the USA, the law applies to anyone from the EU visiting GOL.
What I meant was: couldn't the site just fetch the twitter data, and render it statically in pure text with a link to the twitter entry on twitter? There is impossible to have cookie collected this way if the person does not click the link.
That's possible, sure, but it's another thing to do if we want it. Likely just not worth the effort :)

Don't actually agree with that tbh.
To be fair, most other sites allow you to do this from what I've seen and allowing users to remove their information is part of this new EU rule, so I do have to follow it.

Quicker we leave the better :P
