Quoting: LinasSo AMD is going to compete with itself? Or drop APU's? I don't get it. :S:
No , it is much more selling extra gpu's for Amd and for Intel not bothering to product Iris Pro like gpu's and still existing at laptops with much more embedded graphics power.

This will only hurt Nvidia. No longer Mx150 , 940MX like gpu sellings. Because basically there won't be a need for them anymore.

So Linux in general , can't recognize performance needed workloads and because of that you have to adjust that on your own.

Man , isn't there a thing complete and user touch not needed feature about gaming on Linux at all?

Don't get me wrong. I love Linux but it is so far away from bringing out of the box good experience.

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.

F1 2017 released for Linux as Feral Interactive’s first Vulkan-only title, here’s a port report

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: chancho_zombie
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.
