Quoting: edddeduck_feralOlliC was talking about the workaround we had to add to the game to avoid issues with the governor on Linux when using Vulkan.

Ah, is that it. It is a bit weird that Ubuntu defaults to powersave on desktops. I should go write a bug report though. ;)

Tomorrow Unigine Superposition will be released. This will show us all that we desperately need new hardware. We'll be ready for the next generation of games. :D

Quoting: OlliCI was wondering why there was still one core with 100% on Vulkan. That explains it.

Probably because Mad Max in itself is not a game well optimised for using all cores. Vulkan can reduce the port overhead, it cannot make a game better.

I my experience, the improvement is much better in bad areas. In line with the Tyrant's Lash benchmark. So the improvement is really noticeable where it counts.

Quoting: ThePierrasseCan we get an updated comparison between Vulkan and OpenGL?

The best comparisons are the ones you make yourself. Find a place where the game was struggling before and watch the Vulkan magic happen.

This is probably extremely difficult for a porter. It follows the F1 seasons and will be "old" before it is released. With the 2015 version not being a great one, I'm not actually surprised that it didn't do too well.

IIRC, Mac didn't get F1 2015, so I hope that this one for Mac will be better for them.

I'm playing this game on 3440x1440 on lesser hardware and I have never seen the frames drop to 10 fps. The worst was just below 20. Usually it is looking at certain angles in certain direction that gives you a view with a lot of complexity that does it. I simply change the view and go on. I do need to make sure that I don't keep too many views open. If you enjoy the game, that is really not a big deal. Besides, performance issues will happen with games that give you complete freedom.

A game persistently running at 100 fps doesn't really need the Vulkan treatment as much, but I it is always nice to see it supported. It may help bring some of the lower specced players to the game.

I've tested the old version against the new Vulkan in a couple (non benchmark) camps that gave me very low frames before. The bad one increased from 22 to 35, which is a big difference. Note that this is at very high settings and on 3440x1440. That changes the game from stuttery to perfectly playable. I just wish that NVidia would get G-SYNC working on Vulkan.

I have noticed a couple of graphical artefacts though. At one point the canteen flashed before filling it up. Another one was that I saw some flashing white lines that looked like they could have been ground mesh edges. Haven't been able to screenshot them, so I may have to try and screen capture a video.

The whole vibe of this game feels just right. Anybody have time for sale?

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLNow you can port The Wi†cher 3 for Linux using Vulkan. End of excuses.

Except for that little excuse called permission.
