Quoting: whizse

Quoting: x_wingDoes this patch only fix the issue with Proton/DXVK?

Good question. I haven't actually tried the Mesa patch yet since it supposedly caused other glitches. But I assumed it would work in both cases?

For now I just set anti alias to "taa".

Unfortunately I think this Mesa patch won't fix the OpenGL issue. It's definitely forcing an ACO compiler fix (i.e. Vulkan), not to mention that this patch is probably the same as adding this config for radv driver in dri.rc:
 
<application name="art of rally" executable="artofrally.exe">
   <option name="radv_enable_mrt_output_nan_fixup" value="true" />
</application>

Can you test if the lens flares are gone as well? Use different AA settings at night with bloom enabled.

Here's the bug report for the lens flare issue with a couple of patches to try out:

Was that in reply to my post about there being nothing in the Australian store? Or were you just commenting in general?

It was a general comment, I only searched for Linux laptops in USA and Argentina stores and this comment was more an answer for my first comment. Sorry for the misunderstanding!

Quoting: whizseJust a quick warning; broken graphics on Mesa 20.1.8/radeonsi. No foliage, rocks or trees, spectators are just black unmoving blocks.

I think this is caused by the heavy use of compute shaders, which might be fixed by this:

Maybe someone using a current 20.2-rc can confirm? The demo should be enough to reproduce the bug:

20.2-rc4





Not sure if the empty trunks are by design or a bug

I went to the laptops selling page and they still only offer Windows with all their T series notebooks (checked in US and Argentina page). Hopefully by the end of the year some T series will have it and it will definitely be my next laptop (sorry Dell!)

Wake me up when they release office.

Quoting: emphyThat is just a consequence of 2080ti's price. For the marketing trick you need to be at the other side of the graph. I'll leave it for you to discover; it's quite subtle.

More over that: somehow people believe that Nvidia GPUs prices were reduced... while the true is that they just kept the same price per tier.

Quoting: Alm888Well, no. In fact I was thinking of AMD working closer with community or even writing stuff into the Open Source drivers preemptively in order to provide support at day-1.

But if this is not feasible (so much for the Power of Open Source!), then yes, a working proprietary stand-in driver at day-1 is needed. After all, what would I do with an expensive card (let's pretend I made a pre-order or something) if it just refuses to work (even in VESA or framebuffer mode). Look at it? Admire it? Place it on a shelf like a trophy?

Wish we had some Linux benchs for the new Nvidia GPUs but seems that Phoronix didn't receive one to bench. So it's kinda difficult to say how "good" is the day-1 support for this new RTX series.

Quoting: EhvisNo it's not. It's a consequence of NVIDIA keeping secrets, but that doesn't make them at fault. And the way you wrote it was suggesting nvidia was late to the party and actively worked against nouveau. Neither of which is true. Nvidia has made closed source drivers for 20 years now and has behaved the same for all of those 20 years. They're entirely predictable and entirely what you would expect from a big market leading company.

Five to six years ago nouveau didn't have this problem but some Nvidia changes made almost useless Nouveau, changes that they don't want to bring nor share with the the OSS software eventhough they still take their time in order to submit patches for 2D acceleration in nouveau. And no, their behavior is far from being what you should expect from "a big market leading company" as Intel is also a big one and they properly support Linux with their products.

It seems that you can justify their behavior but sorry, I can't do the same.
