An explanation of what Mesa is and what graphics cards use it

You can also ask the same question about their CPU firmware.

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionSpeaking of proprietary firmware, will AMD ever open up their GPU firmware? It seems hypocritical to be talking the talk with this "GPU open" initiative and yet not walking the walk. I hate that I have to add non-free repos just to use their nonsense.I suppose they'll never fully open source it, because part of their firmware is handling HDCP garbage and therefore can't be open by definition. However, they can possibly help documenting what's needed to make a fully open alternative for those who don't care about HDCP, and may be unlike Nvidia they won't prevent loading such open firmwares (no nasty lock outs with signing and so on).

Features wise, nvc0 is close to radeonsi (see https://mesamatrix.net [External Link]), but its main problem is lack of GPU reclocking in nouveau, i.e. the kernel driver (Nvidia are causing it, by not documenting anything, signing their firmware and etc.). So you can't use GPUs with it besides at the minimum clock frequency, which makes them useless for anything demanding.

FYI: Wine staging 2.3 now includes the buffer patch, which improves TW3 performance.

I suppose Steam controller could be a viable option.

FYI: To run TW3 you don't need the complicated WoW64 build, which requires using something like lxc container, and running 32-bit build twice. You can simply build 64-bit Wine with patches from staging and buffer pool hack.

Quoting: JudasIscariotWitcher 3 on Windows has support for the Xbox 360 controller. Have you been successful in getting that to work at all?I don't have a controller to test at present unfortunately. Feel free to run some tests. Let me know if you need help with building Wine with all needed patches to run it.

Quoting: qptain NemoFantastic. Are there any non-graphical issues or does everything function as it should?So far I didn't notice any non graphical issues.

Another outside screenshot:
Besides certain shaders still missing (which produces transparent parts, wrong hair color and so on), it looks already pretty good, and the whole thing is fluidly playable (at least on lowest settings for me).

Yeah, I recommend to have 16GB minimum as well. Pretty useful for running VMs too.
