Reminder: Update your PC info for the next round of statistics updates

A couple of the bars looked like they matched the scale * 10, but I now see that it's a percentage scale, not absolute numbers :P
Never mind me, carry on!

Quoting: Liam DaweQuoting: CybolicIs it just me or is the scale for the "x11 Desktop" graph off? It seems to show the number by a tenth (ie. 5 instead of 50).I'm not seeing anything wrong, can you screenshot and circle what you mean?
Spoiler, click me

Impressive racing game DRAG gets a big driving-physics update
5 Jan 2021 at 1:07 am UTC
In any case, DRAG is a native title, so nothing to worry about here :)

Quoting: slaapliedjeSounds like trolling... but I'll bite as well. Last time I tried dual booting, I was actually getting better FPS through Wine under Linux than I was Windows and I know from benchmarks that this still happens with various games (especially slightly older titles). These days, most games will run about the same on either platform, some a bit better here, others a bit better there. Of course, your mileage may vary, but in general I don't recall ever having FPS issues due to Linux and not due to the hardware (or buggy games of course).Quoting: AkonadyI wanna know something not related specifically to this game but with games in general.Not sure if troll... but I was playing Destroy All Humans just fine at 3840x1200 the other night. Fun game!
What do you feel like playing on Linux (not native games), losing lots of fps, basically wasting the full potential of your hardware?

NVIDIA release big new Linux driver with 460.27.04, LunarG Vulkan SDK Ray Tracing ready

Haven't checked if it works though either :)

I hope it doesn't take Nvidia too long to incorporate this extension into their drivers.Quoting: ikirutoRTX 2060 and Ryzen 1700 works without problems on Proton-Experimental with the settings in the screenshots and hex fix.It seems the fix should be in exe for Nvidia. (second hand info though)

At this rate, doesn't Wine actually have better general Windows compatibilities now than Win7/8 did when they came out?

Quoting: scaine[...]As for Cyberpunk - it's a no from me. CDPR is just not a company I'm interested in supporting.I'm in the same boat, but a friend of mine gave me the game as a gift yesterday so now I'm thinking I may as well give it a go to get the Linux numbers up if nothing else.

Of course, my main gripe with NVIDIA is still the missing VR reprojection on Linux, but now you have a bit of background on how well things have been working in general as well.
Honestly I think the driver installation situation is about equal for NVIDIA and AMD (though the built-in AMD driver gives a slight win there for general usage). For gaming I think the issue for AMD is distribution support for the driver options and for NVIDIA, well, it's NVIDIA :P

Quoting: slaapliedjeMy experience has been that:Quoting: ShmerlSee, I have had the exact opposite experience. The Radeon laptop that I have, it worked mistly with the fglrx driver, but would break all the time as it wouldn't work either with a newer kernel, or xorg. Then there was a point in time where it fit in that tiny slit of not being supported by the open source driver OR fglrx, and I basically had to switch to Windows...Quoting: slaapliedjeI have been using nvidia for years, and it has pretty much been 'just works'.I remember Nvidia breaking more than once due to kernel updates and I remember Nvidia messing up my install to the point of frustration and wiping out the whole OS to reinstall. Not upstreaming their driver has consequences. Ditching the blob felt very good and I'm not interested in going back to that horror :)
- My ATI Rage 128 took forever to get support but eventually worked (this was back in 2000/2001, so not much point in comparing further)
- My Radeon (some mid-2000s laptop model, sorry can't remember more) worked wonderfully in Linux but had shoddy 3D performance (it was fine, but not great - laptop though), great experience otherwise, solid hardware and fantastic TV output (yes, it was that long ago)
- my GeForce 680, 980 and 1080 Ti all worked well in games, but the 980 and 1080 Ti both had weird things happening: lots of kernel incompatibilities, system freezes were common (better now, but still happen, especially with VT switching, CUDA, NVdec or VDPAU - basically anything that's supposed to give NVIDIA an advantage) and OpenGL texture corruption and/or texture sync (don't ask, I'm still not sure what it it precisely, but any desktop compositor will go out of sync with actual framebuffers eventually and require a restart - still happens with compton, picom, Mutter and KWin).

Total War: WARHAMMER II – The Twisted & The Twilight announced for December

Quoting: DanglingPointerStill not released for Linux so although we're passed the release date, we still can't play it yet. It isn't a same day release.
Quoting: LiamDaweArriving for Windows on December 3, Feral Interactive have confirmed that it will arrive on Linux (and macOS) "shortly" after Windows. This could be anything from a day to a few weeks, hopefully not long though.

Quoting: x_wing[...]Based purely on anecdotal observation, I suspect it's because there's been many HOWTO guides for NVIDIA drivers written by "mainstream" news sites and its often mentioned in Youtube videos, whereas I have yet to see anyone mention how to set things up with AMD.
I really fail to understand why so many Nvidia users says that AMD driver support is inferior when they are actually providing the type of solution as Nvidia and more.

"On Nvidia though? Complete dogshit. Horizon Zero Dawn runs significantly slower on a 1080 Ti than it does on my RX 480 (...)"
and
"(vkd3d) has some cursed workarounds for Nvidia driver/hardware limitations to improve stability"
I'll let you look around for yourself for a bigger picture, but the impression I get as well, is that NVIDIA's drivers have issues with DXVK that don't exist with AMD.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled flame-war :P

Quoting: poisond[...] I have no idea how you come to the conclusion that NVidia performs worse for DXVK titles when all evidence points to the opposite.I can't link to benchmarks, but I can point you at user YoRHa-2B - who actually works on DXVK - and their comments regarding NVIDIA, such as:
I don't own any DX12 titles yet, but maybe you have some benchmarks to support your claims? [...]

Quoting: poisondYou can also consult https://www.protondb.com/stats [External Link] by GPU (spoiler, NVidia does better)By 6% for Platinum ratings and 1% for Silver and Bronze. With the disparity between the amount of AMD and NVIDIA user, that's pretty much within noise ratio.
