Quoting: jens

Quoting: XpanderThere are actually more platinum ones as some people report issues with really outdated drivers or have distros that doesn't have file description limits increased to use esync.

Yes, but this applies the other way around to. I guess a lot people give a platinum rating if the game barely starts, but this is no indication that a complete play-through with all features (e.g. multiplayer) works without issues.

Yes, Ofc. But the outdated driver thing boggles me every time. Proton page clearly says whats the minimum drivers required, yet some people still run much older drivers and mark the games "Broken".

Ofc not to mention there are some native games reported also, the ones that don't have linux/steamOS icon in steam but actually have native clients available.

Quoting: Duke TakeshiHow is the current state of AMD and linux compatibility?

When I started switching from Windows to linux, I always bought Nvidia GPUs because the AMD drivers were complete rubbish.

Much Much better now if you can get the latest mesa versions and not using some really outdated ones. Still some corner cases with some games which causing system lockups or whatnot, but those things are usually rare. AMD Midrange cards (RX 570,580,590) are really good and Nvidia has nothing to compete them in terms of price and performance, unless you buy used cards.

Radeon VII seems disapointing to me. Same power consumption aka 300W and just around 25% faster than vega 64. Matching RTX 2080 on AMD picked benchmarks and is well ahead on 1 game, but the price is pretty close to RTX 2080 and power usage is insane compared to this. If the MSRP was 100 dollars less, it would be pretty good though.

As of Ryzen 3000 series, not much was shown sadly. Some random game benchmark with Radeon VII, where Lisa said it was just 1080p maxed (i guess she made a mistake there, it probably was 4K) and just 100+ FPS without GPU not even being fully utilized, shows like Ryzen was the bottleneck there. Cinebench was pretty impressive though, but AMD CPUs have always been good in multithreading and Cinebench.

I was expecting some teasers to Navi also, but seems there was none atm. And ofc i was hoping for Ryzen 3000 launch date annoucement.

Quite disapointing keynote if you ask me, most was just some idiotic marketing bullshit, but well its what those PR presentations always have been

I have this 0 bytes bug on many native games also, which is super odd. Other than that its been pretty solid for me. I'm kinda scared about the new interface though as if they go with todays trends, everything will be big and hidden behind more clicks (less info on the screen at the same time). Hope im wrong though and please freaking bring the interface scaling slider into the client.

Quoting: gabberToo bad it's single player ..

Cool concept, only missing multiplayer with dedicated Linux server!

MP is on the roadmap also i heard. This is what interests me the most also as singleplayer survival games usually dont work for me unless they are really story driven

Wooop Wooop. I watched all the dev diary videos on youtube and some more and i was instantly in love with this.
Went to their discord server and someone was nice to give me a key for beta testing. Cant wait to try it out!

hmm Vulkan perf seems worse but is a lot smoother than OpenGL one.

OpenGL 1440p



Vulkan 1440p



edit: ahh now i see why, OpenGL is High instead of Ultra somehow

Its nice to hear. I have 144hz freesync monitor, which i haven't been able to use currently. However there no mention if this option will be available on Linux drivers also. Lets wait and see i guess.

I wish for Dirt Rally 2.0 - hope Feral can do this and announce it before it will be released, otherwise i have to try my luck with proton.
