Quoting: MaCroX95Yeah, that's BS. Even back then on a GTX 660 the performance difference was less than 1%. You literally won't even notice it.Quoting: sergeAnd no more performance for you eitherQuoting: anarchist_tomatoHave they fixed the tearing yet?Set ForceFullCompositionPipeline in your Xorg.conf and no more tearing for you.
Quoting: EhvisThat's weird and is probably also related to your WM, for me the windows movement is snappy and directly. You could try to play between ForceCompositionPipeline and ForceFullCompositionPipeline to see if that makes a difference.Quoting: XpanderIt's not a performance drop. It's that I feel a delay when I pick up a window to move it and it really irritates me.Quoting: EhvisTurned that crap off within a minute again. I'm not sure what it does, but it makes moving windows feel weird.Might be issue with your DE/WM or compositing. Perf drop with this on is just 1-2% and when testing GTK response times it adds just few milliseconds for the GTK windows.

Who cares about performance improvements on Quake Champions, if that game doesn't even work because of error 103 [External Link] :D
Proton still has a lot of bugs to fix, but it is on a good way, I'm looking forward to what games will work early next year.

Quoting: mrdeathjrHowever vulkan use better multithreading cpus with better performance, when stay ready this give better performance for all users and 5.0ghz dont be required for some games as nowJust because VK9 translates DX9 to Vulkan, doesn't make games magically multi threading. In fact it won't do that at all. The games will run in single thread, but because of the low level, VK9 won't add as much overhead as OpenGl does. This means there will probably more performance, but not as much as your comment suggests.

It's all nice, but I still prefer Xpadneo [External Link] a lot over the Valve driver, since it's the much better one. The Valve driver doesn't even has Battery indicator support or DPAD Axes to buttons, pfff.

I don't hold my breath. Everything Valve has released, in the last 7 years, is nothing I actually play or enjoy. I'm not saying that Valve did everything wrong or so, but they completely are running in a direction for many years I can't follow.
I don't expect Valve to know how to do a good game, which can get my attraction, anymore. I will be glad to be proven wrong, but till then I have a big D on my forehead which stands for "doubt".

Quoting: noxCalling Linux (and by that their users) a second class [External Link] isn't toxic? Yeah sure, defend that guy further if you want, I don't.Quoting: EgonautThat's why you don't support that toxic guy Garry and everyone who's working with him.Meh, he is straight forward, blunt and sarcastic. Toxic isn't really the right word.

Quoting: LeopardIf that means revisiting old titles that needs performance upgrade, they're very welcome.Especially on Company of Heroes 2, because that runs terrible even on high end hardware.
