Basemark GPU is a new benchmark tool that supports Linux and many different APIs
23 Jun 2018 at 3:56 pm UTC

Installs without problems on Mint 18.3, but after install you need to execute chmod -R o+rx /opt/BasemarkGPU to make it run from ordinary user. Benchmarking process looks very strange though :)

DXVK for Direct3D 11 with Vulkan in Wine has another update with 0.53

Quoting: yar4eYou use very old NVIDIA driver. This may be the reason of bad performance. For DXVK 394.24.02 is recommended.
I'm hesitant about Beta drivers but I went ahead and tried it, no changes for this game.

396.18.0 is very bad choice actually! This version have performance regressions with DXVK. Try latest version from here: https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver [External Link]

DXVK for Direct3D 11 with Vulkan in Wine has another update with 0.53

Quoting: Avehicle7887So, outside of Witcher 3 any other DX11 game I own, already has a native Linux version available. I gave Vaporum a little test to see how it fares compared to the native version.

The 3 tests were run all in the same starting area using the same settings:


I kinda expected the better performance from the native version, however I'm surprised to see almost double the FPS compared to dxvk. On the other hand dxvk performs much better than OpenGL DX11, on the latter it would occasionally drop down to 13-17 FPS and it performs slower overall.

Looks like Nightdive Studios enhanced version of 'Turok' might be coming to Linux (update: it's out!)

"Fixed potential performance issue with MSAA" - Those issues was not potential! Now i can set MSAA to 8 in FFXII without speed decrease and with DXVK 0.51 i was forced to use MSAA2 to get stable 30FPS! Great work!

Quoting: GuestDark Souls Remastered shows window for 1 second and then crashes.:( Probably a wine issue though.
Also, Dark Souls 3 has been broken since DXVK 0.51, hangs during loading.
You need to open issue about DS3 regression here: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues [External Link]
