Recording this is pain. It turns off forcecompositionpipline, makes the screen tear and still gets huge fps hit when recording even with nvenc. same thing as with Dying Light. Without recording FPS is pretty much locked to 60 fps all the time on maxed settings, motion blur off and chromatic abberation disabled. Really Great Performing game.

Quoting: manus76The problem is you get those 'magic' 60 fps and more on relatively powerful hardware. Those with older/less potent hardware get hardly playable fps unless they play on low/very low settings. I don't think it's best strategy to give free pass to this sort of ports just 'because it's linux'. Bad performing game is a bad performing game regardless of the operating system. And as I said before: why would people even consider linux as a gaming platform if they get barely playable fps at low/medium on the OS, while on Windows they could happily play it on ultra at smooth fps?

Like said many times before. FPS in numbers is not always the best indicator...
Frametime/Frame latency is much more important factor than just raw fps number.
you can have 150fps game thats still really bad, or you can have 40 fps game that is snappy.

ofc if a game runs really low fps.. frametime wont help

i am happy with the framerates mostly. While framerates arent too high, frametime (latency) seems to be really good, just like with GRID autosport. Its smooth.

made some benchmark video also:

49 fps average while not recording, 43 when recording with nvenc
37 fps minimum while not recording, 24 when recording with nvenc

Not the best Performing game, but not too bad either. Better than TR for sure.

Red Faction:Guerilla yes please...it used to work fine under wine back in the days but some update broke it :(

Doom (2016) would be nice also but i doubt that.

what remains? ..Mad Max can also match because the hint about Mars and the sand ...maybe?

with mate and xfwm i run it with windowed fullscreen and then alt+space and go fullscreen from WM.

if i go fullscreen directly it will screw up and will squeeze the game for all 3 monitors with a crappy 16:9 resolution.

other than that.. performs amazingly on higest. game is interesting as well but i feel like animations could use some work. Specialy when you use the crappling hook.

this i actually might get...

since i never cared about football(soccer) i havent tried those managers.

but F1 is what i like so a manager to manage your own team sounds pretty nice.

great news but im not really into the hype .. i want to see some real benchmarks and their linux driver support is still lacking and vulkan is still quite young.

amd zen however seems interesting..but again.. i wont buy into hype.. if the 40+% better IPC versus bulldozer is true and i can get my hands on 8c/16t with a reasonable ~300€ pricetag. then im all for it

Quoting: tusharkant15This forces Triple Buffering so the performance does take a hit

Triple buffering is supposed to improve performance compared to double buffering. Well, the framerate should improve, not the latency.

i think the issue where it takes the hit is where game itself has triplebuffer enabled as well.
some games get really jumpy framerate when thats in xorg.. thats with my experience.

just ForceCompositionPipline fixes all tearing for me and no need to use other tweaks.
