Nice.

I'm ready for it. I hope we can create a good revenue for much bigger ports.
NVIDIA 396.18 beta driver is out with a new Vulkan SPIR-V compiler to reduce shader compilation time

Quoting: Imnotarobot

Quoting: ImnotarobotThe 390 driver that comes with Ubuntu is horrible. I can't stop the tearing no matter what i do.
It works with 340, but that is old. I think it does not even support Vulkan.
I've had no trouble at all with the 390 series. But you're not the first one to complain here so there must be something to it.

If tearing is your only problem, you could try enabling the Full Composition Pipeline in the Nvidia settings software. This does come with a small performance penalty, but totally worth it in my opinion.

EDIT: Leopard was quicker.
Yeap. Have done that done this and nothing works.
I have a laptop and my gpu is k1000m.

That is the guide i use to get rid of tearing, but with 390 it's not working. Works with all the other driver versions.

I think that Nvidia should open up their drivers if they can't manage to handle their proprietary ones...

Is there any way i can install 384? every time i put sudo apt install nvidia-384 it just installs the 390 driver.
Because on a laptop , you have to configure PrimeSync.

I told you on my earlier message.

Just do this.

Change xed parts to your distros editor.

Quoting: GuestAs someone still fairly new to linux, is it best to use drivers from the Driver Manager or get them from nvidias website? What would be the disadvantages of using one from nvidia website (non-beta drivers) ? Would they be less stable or/and less reliable on a wider range of games? I do love to play a wide range of games so wouldn't want to upset that compatability

I'm currently on 384.11, and using an asus nvidia gtx 1060 3gb, does that sound about right or am I on out-dated drivers? It says recommended on driver manager
Stay away from Nvidia site installers.

Add this ppa.

Driver updates will be visible on your driver manager.

Are you on a laptop or desktop?

If it is desktop , use ForceFullComposition option.

If it is a laptop , set up PrimeSync properly to eliminate all tearings.
Feral Interactive have released an open source tool that’ll help get the most performance out of Linux games

Wow , cool stuff.

I'm on default setting for cpu power , which is "on demand" i guess.

Will try that , on i7 7700HQ.
NVIDIA dropping support for 32bit Linux this month, also dropping Fermi series support

Quoting: stretch611I have a 12 year old linux system. It has an old Single Core AMD Sempron Processor and integrated graphics. Even it is running mint18-64 bit. With 2GB of total memory, it still has the power to run the latest version of Kodi even with 1080p resolution. (admittedly, that is all I have it do.)

Even a cheap 12 year old processor can do 64-bit... Very little reason not to be on 64-bit on linux.
Agreed. My moms Youtube laptop Thinkpad R500 ( Core 2 Duo , 2 gb ram ) runs on Lubuntu 64 bit.

Even some browsers dropped support for 32 bit.

On Intel side , even Pentium 4's are supports 64 bit. On Amd , probably processors from Athlon XP era supports it too.

There is no point of insisting at 32 bit.

Quoting: Adamfx990Great! Now will I be able to run it on a 980 I wonder?

I wish I was being sarcastic ><
Yes , probably you can. Why you thought that way?
The last game chugs a bit when I crank the settings

Last game? F1 2017?

I can get 50ish fps average on my Gtx1050 when eveything set to high , not ultra. Your card is way stronger than mine.

Define "a bit" term :D

Quoting: drmothI'm guessing the Mac version is not using Vulkan, which could explain the Linux delay.
It uses Metal but it is not related to getting it first i guess.

Targeted hardware on Mac is limited which needs less testing while on Linux you can find many different configs.

I hope that delay leads to less overhead than Mac port.
