Dirt Rally - still amazing game, Can't wait for DR 2.0

Call of Juarez Gunslinger via steam play - Nice game once you tweak the files to increase FoV etc.

Quoting: kalinWho cares. That game is dumb as hell. I try it to check how well steamplay work and believe me that was the most boring experience.

Yeah well thats your opinion. While it wasn't anything brilliant it was good fun and not boring at all for me. Quick to get in, have like half an hour to hour of fun and then close it.. simple. free, ran amazingly performance wise and was fun.

Quoting: Wernerhmm for me it doesn't work, it just shows empty ui, could it be that it doesn't support Nvidia 418.30

works for me with 418.30

Quoting: pbI have a laptop with 1060 gpu set at discrete, I wonder if I could downpower the card with this tool to avoid the fan noise during normal usage (non-gaming). Does it make the changes in real time or does it require reboot?

real time. Only X restart is needed if you save the coolbits into xorg

Quoting: bingusWeird. I've got a Nvidia GPU but have never seen that screen corruption issue before. Nice to see it fixed though.

if you are using older drivers then its fine. Afaik older drivers had workaround for unity bugs 415+ ones don't

Quoting: Shmerl

Quoting: CreakFreeSync/VRR should arrive with Linux 5.0 (in a few weeks)

Is anyone working on Vulkan and Wayland support for it?

Vulkan needs something extra for making it to work? I didn't have issues with Vulkan and Freesync on nvidia.
Wayland is another question though. Not being able to use Dual-monitor is the biggest issue for me. Let's see if that can be fixed in X at all or if it will work in Wayland some day.

My reports (some 2 months old because i have been slacking in January):


Also yeah i think Platinum should be given only when you don't have to touch anything, just hit play.
About performance, its hard to compare to windows, if you dont use windows, so there i think platinum is when it works with good fps enough for you on your hardware.

Quoting: TheRiddickMaybe just make a environmental variable so that when its 1 or true it just disables everything but primary screen and enables gsync for you etc... Like ItJustWorksKinda = 1, then it switches off secondary displays and enables gsync, do it via alt-f2.

same goal with different code pretty much :)
I find my current one easy enough specially if its binded to my keyboard macro key, i can switch it even while gaming, it will turn it off once second monitor comes online and press same button again and it turns freesync on when second monitor will be disabled :)

Quoting: TheRiddickYes seems better to use nvidia-settings for switching modes, I was thinking of doing that.

How do you determine when to run freesync or not? are you simply turning it on in your monitor settings when needed? that would be painful for me to do! I'd just use a global env variable and flip it on and off when needed.

PS. I'm a terrible coder, basically whenever I try to do coding it comes out looking like some caveman wall paintings compared to the next persons..lol

Well since everything is enabled from nvidia settings and i pass {AllowGSYNCCompatible=On} for non compatible displays on my script, it will be automatically enabled if i disable all other monitors. I can see it with the green G-SYNC appearing on the screen.
