AMD has announced 'Radeon-Rays' an open source ray tracing SDK using Vulkan
24 March 2018 at 8:32 am UTC
MS and NVIDIA would be very happy if Vulkan died off, or developers steer away from it. But realistically who wants to forever be locked in to Windows10 and XBOX1 platform? at least who in their right mind would...

Croteam will have an interesting talk at GDC this year about game performance

DXVK could be a game changer if it keeps going the way it is now. I dual boot and atm I'm using Windows because 2 games I'm playing atm don't work under Linux, that's Kingdom Come, and sadly WarThunder (because v1.77 broke shit).

I play at 4k so things get real difficult because achieving 60fps at 4k through WINE is no small task! (plus dxvk atm isn't ready for prime time)

Yeah warthunder had this micro-stuttering, even at above 60fps. Unfortunately patch 1.77 has completely broken OpenGL and you'd be lucky to get 40fps, most times you get graphics glitches on top with much less fps. (1080ti here)
Free to play MMO 'War Thunder' has a big update with a revamped game engine

It actually causes graphical issues on Linux and performance reduction by almost half. It warns you that OpenGL has issues on launch.. so this update has made things significantly worse for Linux users sadly.

On a positive light, there is mention by the developer that they intend to move to Vulkan, supposedly. We will see.

Is this game just about a teenage girl going through her period? I could never quite figure out what its all about...
Eastshade, an absolutely gorgeous looking adventure game about a travelling painter will come to Linux

Your basically taking screenshots of the scenery, it be nice if they had a assisted painting mode and let the player attempt to pain things using heavy guides at the start?¿ perhaps that could be something for VR mode or something...
SteamVR beta updated to fix a radv crash and 'fixes' Vive Pro on Linux

Well there is many opensource AMD projects now, and older hardware has better compatibility with say radeonsi vs amdgpu. Its not a bad thing but sure can be confusing.

Its believed AMDGPU OSS driver is the best option if you have any amd hardware from the past 4 years (like 280x+).
The Linux beta of Arma 3 has been updated to 1.80, compatible with Windows again for a time

I was able to get onto some servers but others would fail connection and some would say battleye failed authentication or something.. Was a bit odd.
