AMD's OGL driver under Linux is pretty decent (not quite as good as NVIDIA's but close), but their OGL driver under Windows is still using old trash code. IF AMD ever decides to open-source their windows driver, they can port over the Linux OGL code and get a immediate benefit.

I'm not sure why its hard to open-source drivers under windows, maybe Microsoft says no?

Bethesda probably actively went to ID studios and tossed out the window any Linux machines they saw.

Just curious, does this game support VR?

I have a Quest now but I will wait until Vulkan and Linux updates appear before jumping on this one.
Plus the AUD is crashing through the floor atm so that means minimal buying stuff for some time (allot of stores are operating on USD to AUD conversion systems which is NASTY).

Still waiting for several comfort add-ons to arrive as the Quest is probably one of the heaviest headsets out there, I really hope Quest v2 puts some of that weight on your head (clip on compute unit & battery?). Its kinda crazy.

PS. The Valve Index package comes to over $2000AUD here, the Quest only cost me $650AUD + accessories!!!!!! Valve just aren't interested in the Aussie market (many companies avoid us, especially now).

It will be interesting to see if DXR or RTX support will appear in WINE/Proton sometime. Wonder what the performance hit would be?

I don't think its possible on OGL? unless OGL gets ported to Vulkan and you run your OGL games via a vulkan wrapper.. I dunno what I'm saying now.

I think Ubisoft also allow their games to work via Geforce Now. While I'm not a fan of this company they are doing the right thing here. (I actually think I own watchdogs 1 and 2).

I got the 3600 for $200-250AUD (something) when it was released with a killer ebay plus special. :)

Quoting: x_wingBased on Phoronix results, seems that there is some test bias with OGL. Vulkan 4k-High results show more or less the expected classification on Linux.

The 2060 Flogs ALL AMD cards under vulkan. I don't think that is correct either sorry. The Radeon 7 for example should be getting close to 1080TI if not better.

Results look a tiny bit better at higher resolutions sure but AMD shouldn't be doing this badly at lower resolutions.
