Good that it's releasing, but they really should have used Unreal instead of Unity. Many pointed it out to them in the past.

Quoting: TheRiddick1920x1080 results are not overly reliably, the best way to do comparisons is 1440p and 4k because it actually stresses the GPU.

Not really. From the current hardware, nothing handles 4K well, let alone with 144Hz. So such tests are of low value. Current GPUs just didn't catch up to such monitors yet. May be next generation will be more applicable.

Quoting: TheRiddickAnyway I think I know whats going on, compare the mad max benchmarks of the two links and you will see two things, first is that the Vega cards now have slower performance for some reason (regression) and second is the 1070ti has had its performance increased.

This tells me that such benchmarks are obscuring actual hardware, since bottlenecks happen somewhere in the driver and regressions or improvements can occur.

Quoting: TheRiddickAnd your source mate?

Same: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=phoronix14-29-gpus [External Link]

As you can see, same hardware fluctuates quite widely. Unless different cards with the same name are used each time? All that it's telling me is that AMD is on par, i.e. Nvidia has no edge in their 10xx series (except for ti models which are not matched by AMD at all).

Quoting: TheRiddickVega is doing quite bad vs NVIDIA cards, around 20% slower in many cases, go read over at Phoronix about the Vega64.

Not sure what you were reading, Vega is beating Nvidia in many tests. That is Veta 56 vs GTX 1070 and Vega 64 vs GTX 1080. That is actually better than on Windows.

To match these new cards AMD will obviously need to produce something new as well.

Quoting: XpanderTheres no competition sadly :( and also GDDR6 is said to be 20% more expensive which is exactly the difference between 399 MSRP 1070 had and 499 dollars the 2070 has

AMD went with HBM2, but prices were inflated more because of the cryptocurrencies. I think lack of competition is more of a reason here for the higher than usual price. AMD should catch up.

That's crazy expensive, even for new GPUs.

I'm interested in when AMD are planning to make new desktop cards. Some suggested 2019.

Interesting. I think it was wrong to remove the script, it's useful. I suppose I should write my own now.

winetricks is just a script. It would simply work as:

WINEPREFIX=/path_to_your_prefix winetricks dxvk

I don't like this method though since it overwrites files. I prefer to use symlink installation with setup_dxvk.sh

Quoting: MohandevirEuh?! What?! How? Please, show me! :)
I've been looking into Winetricks for DXVK (dll or components, apps) but couldn't find anything with wine-devel... Is it called something else?

Quoting: stud68Just found DXVK in winetricks. Even easier to install now. Spot on!

It now also supports always installing latest dxvk too.
