Quoting: mahagrAfter quick testing with i-7700K / 16GB / GTX 1080 @ 4K / FXAA everything maxed out, the game runs around 40-45 FPS most of the time - minimum was slightly below 30 FPS and sometimes it was running even steady 60 FPS! I was using latest beta drivers in Ubuntu 17.10 after a reboot.

Well done Feral; but now I wish that my older Feral games ran as well... :) Both Tomb Raider 2013 and Deus Ex perform really badly compared to this one.

They need Vulkan asap!

Quoting: Naib( I explain distro's to windows users as people only applying certain kb)

That sounds like a very inaccurate explanation. It implies the biggest difference is the amount of security you get.

Lots of things are inaccurate... From a windows user perspective "there are thousands of distro's, what do people target"

There are hundreds of distro's but do you know what? at the core they are all the same. Once you reach the zen of Linux distributions you realise all they are are at different patchlevels compared to each other and different defaults.
Couple that with linux's extremely consistent api going backwards and well if you get something working for one you can get it working for another.

So if my "layman's" explanation to a windows user, in terminology they understand as to why it doesn't matter that there are hundreds of distros... WHAT do you suggest?

As always, the car analogy works here. Do you want a sports car, practical transportation or a bus? One look over another? I see Ubuntu as a cheap, and therefor very popular "car" (sorry, just my opinion)

I agree completely with you about "the zen of Linux distributions". I never understood the panic about fragmentation, when there are so many examples of (commercial) software that works perfectly across distros. Of course it makes sense from a support perspective to limit it to 1-2 distros, but ideally the choice of distro should be up to the individual user. Like trying different kinds of sports to see what fits your personality. In the meanwhile Ubuntu is fine as a "gateway drug" ;)

They're all same at the core but why people see them so different is packaging differences.

.deb packages , .rpm's , ppa's , AUR etc.

That is not something that usual Windows users can grasp easily. They don't care for same kernel , same drivers etc. All they are looking for some kind of .exe .

Go ahead to Wine page for example , you will see the fragmentation on builds page.

That is why Flatpak ( rather than Snap or AppImages) is so important.

Quoting: LeopardIt is way better than i expected , compared to TR 2013 performance gap.

Is there anyone tried that game with 394.80 driver?

I just ran a couple benchmarks with Ubuntu 16.04 and 390.48 driver which I assume you meant.

No crashes there and performance seemed in line.

Edit: I take no responsibility for anything anywhere for any reason if something does break for you.
A list of issues encountered in testing would be nice, now it's just "it needs this because reasons".

Thanks , i was wondering about it. Good news then , i'm on 390.48 and i'm not convinced to use beta drivers. :)

Quoting: LeopardNo , but you gotta aim higher. We need tons of AAA's.

Sure, but I would count RofTR as AAA already.
(And a quick Google search seems to agree on this.)

I didn't say anything like ; Tomb Raider is not AAA though.

Btw , 396.18 driver need is a bit odd.

Personally, I wouldn't say it was odd. On Windows, NVIDIA and AMD both put out new drivers that are needed for a lot of AAA releases. There's always a reason behind it :)

But from what i saw , it is kinda problematic with its new technique for shaders.

In regards to that new NVIDIA driver, NVIDIA seem to be closely watching DXVK and have made adjustments to improve it: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/267#issuecomment-382147467 [External Link]

So...Wine being used with DXVK is actually helping NVIDIA's Linux driver.

I didn't say anything about Wine at all.

Why do you come up with it?

If it is beneficial , than it is very welcome. I just think spending money for Wine titles is absurd , that's all.

In fact , donating to Wine and buying native Linux games much more sense.

I'm a Wine user too , not a hardcore one though.

No need to get defensive there. We are on the subject of drivers and I thought it was interesting how Wine + DXVK is helping NVIDIA improve their driver :)

We are cool :)

Yes it is.

Quoting: LeopardBtw , 396.18 driver need is a bit odd.

The most recently released drivers, Vulkan needs them to run properly I guess.

Just read my post again.

I don't think Tomb Raider is so small to begin with...
