Ubuntu sucks ass. Use Bazzite.

I mean we have tons of anticheat games working on Linux. More than people realize. Elden Ring, The Finals, Overwatch 2, CS2, Apex Legends, xDefiant and more that I can’t remember right now. It’s not that bad even as a multiplayer gamer. The ones that don’t work R6S, Val, LoL, Fortnite, CoD and Destiny pretty much.

NVK is slow at the moment, yes. DX12 just started working as well and is not in mainline yet. This is with a particular PR merged.

This is through gamescope.

I’m on another server, that’s why. :) Peertube has plenty of instances.

Older versions work, yeah.

Yeah this is with GSP.

Yes, the driver is 6 months old. It can also run Overwatch 2 at 100+ FPS in some areas. For 6 months, that’s staggering performance.

No, no. I have nothing to do with any kind of Linux dev unfortunately. I do want to start learning Vulkan though. XD

I mean CUDA is probably never coming to Nouveau/NVK. Never say never still, the current focus is definitely on gaming though.

Wait till you see MGS V at Ultra running at 60 FPS stable if I manage to capture it. No bugs or glitches included. I’m amazed myself.

The only way to properly use NVK now is Arch Linux or something based on it. Ubuntu doesn’t even remotely have the necessary packages yet. On Optimus (running with both GPUs -AMD and Nvidia - on) everything works splendidly desktop-wise yeah. On MUX (meaning running only on the Nvidia GPU on the laptop) nothing works properly, so be warned.

It only exposes Vulkan 1.0 which means only DXVK works and up to version 1.5.1, not later. Also, Rise of the Tomb Raider was extremely slow when I tried it so some major optimizations have to be done as well I think. Beyond that it’s perfectly usable.

The driver is just beginning to be developed. It’s a miracle it can do this already. In 1-2 years it should be be immensely better, I would say, at this rate, comparable to the proprietary drivers of Nvidia.

Serious games are a genre. So like education games, brain training games. These are called Serious Games. This is a traditional Action RPG with the aim to make the players think. :)

Makes sense. I have great hope for NVK, the open source Nvidia Vulkan driver, in 1 or 2 years. Perhaps then, things will be the other way around. :)

Good question, I have no idea.

OP of the original video here. Wait till you see the Nvidia Optimus results. Even I was dumbdfounded by them. Windows is SOOOO bloated it’s thermal throttling like no tomorrow on my laptop. Linux is about 20% faster even on Nvidia. XD

I reinstalled Tumbleweed and it worked fine. Have a 3080M vs 6800M benchmark coming up once it’s done transcoding.

Thanx for the rollback command! :)

And yeah, some games wouldn’t even boot. So I’m doing 5 games in this benchmark after all. Perhaps it’s cause it’s an Optimus laptop.
