AMD Catalyst 15.9 Includes Some Really Needed Fixes For Linux Gamers, Releases Soon
15 Sep 2015 at 9:19 pm UTC

Seem to be takin note of us nixers at least. The last 2 driver releases have improved perf some what for me. So looking forward to it.

Quoting: calexilMaybe Bioshock Infinite wont run like ass anymore?

Also, stoked about Alien: Isolation coming to Linux!!
What card may I ask? Runs well on the 290x I have.

Also nice confirmation on Alien:iso Been waiting for that for a while. :D

Nvidia Video From SIGGRAPH Talks About Vulkan

Quoting: mr-eggNvidia would be wise to push advertising on Vulkan given their DX12 performance is low due to missing async compute. Thats millions of cards with lower DX12 performance than AMD for at least a year and the existing customer base.

Where as, flip a coin nvidia could be smiling with miles better SteamOS / Linux drivers for Vulkan and of course existing driver quality with OpenGL
Yes but after some digging and looking through some initial slides for Vulkan it's used the same way. :whistle:

I also fear that vulkan will go the same way as Opengl has. Devs code for one manufactures addons/extras and forget the rest

Arma 3 Available For Linux In A Beta
31 Aug 2015 at 8:04 pm UTC

Quoting: SamsaiThe game works on AMD with Catalyst 15.3. 15.7 is still not working on Ubuntu 15.04 so I was not able to test on that. Performance is low-ish at around 30 on medium graphical details and going higher than that will result in the grass turning blue. The game requires GL4.1 minimum so I was not able to run tests on Mesa.
What card?

try 15.5's?

The 15.5's and 7's is where i'd seen big improvements with my 290x

I await you report.... :D

Vulkan Looks Impressive Against OpenGL In A New Intel Demo
30 Aug 2015 at 10:22 am UTC

Makes you wonder if the old hex core AMD chips will start to shine, I know using Mantle with BF4 with a 1090t did just as well as what my new 4790k does.

Must admit, It's all talk of DX12 atm. I thought Vulkan had a chance to be ready before DX12 but guess not.
