Testing F1 2017 Linux port on AMD GPUs
3 Nov 2017 at 3:34 pm UTC

Quoting: ziabiceSo this game like, all the other Feral titles I own, looses 1/3 of the FPS in respect to Windows. I'm curious: does the game run under WINE? And if it runs, how it performs?
I think that could be achieved with an OpenGL port as well. I'm curious about MacOS performance. Michael is gonna do that. We will see if Metal port is greater or not.

This game won't run in Wine probably because Dx11 is still incomplete on Wine.

Quoting: AvelanHi Liam,

could you tell us which graphics-api was used in your windows benchmark? Was it also Vulkan? Or DirectX 11/12? Thank you for the review.
Windows version uses DirectX 11 , Linux is Vulkan.

Real Vulkan is not that. Doom and Wolfenstein New Colossus are using Vulkan properly , not that game.

Quoting: LeopardThat performance is a joke.

If a Vulkan port came out like that , sorry but all Vulkan hassle from Feral sounds like a selling tool.

What will be the difference when they do that on OpenGL? I think it wouldn't be worse.
And yet the game works perfectly fine. If you have a system like liamdawe's and hook it up to a 60hz monitor you wouldn't even notice the difference compared to Windows when maxing out the settings.
You're trying to justify it but don't do that.

Performance is very bad , why even a Windows user wants to convert to Linux after seeing these kind of results again and again?

I'm okay with %10 performance loss but it is nearly %40 percent and it is not even a graphically intense game.

Quoting: LeopardI don't understand that , why would anyone wants to run Windows version of Rpcs3 in Wine when native Linux version is also available?
because on Radeon with Gallium Nine, DirectX 9 is native.
Rpcs3 is a PS3 emulator which uses OpenGL and Vulkan.

There is no connection at all.

Icculus ports an unknown title yet again , surprised?

You shouldn't.

The developers of Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation are working on the Linux version

Oh yeah. Though , as Liam noted it is crazy that there are many people writing Vulkan wrong.

But that Stardock company is a member of Khronos Group afaik , so at least i was expecting them to write it right but still no luck.

GNOME Shell with a customized layout is now Ubuntu's official desktop environment. I've been on it since release and it's very stable, but I did install the normal GNOME Shell session to customize it as I like.
Antergos with KDE didn't work out for you?
Even Linux solely didn't work out for him :D
This again? Yes I have a Windows partition, for many reasons. There's no need to point it out repeatedly in comments. I'm not an elitist and 99.99% of my time is spent on Linux.
I also have a PS4, a Nintendo Switch, an Android phone and so on ;)
Focus to the smiley Liam , i've said nothing wrong at all
