filister , in NVIDIA GeForce vs. AMD Radeon Linux Gaming Performance For August 2023

Seriously they should have selected more GPU demanding games.

vividspecter OP ,

He generally sticks to benchmarks that can be easily automated, but it is something that could be improved for sure.

@ayaya@lemdro.id avatar

I find it odd that in some of the tests the 7900 XT is being beaten by the 6800 and/or 6800 XT. That doesn’t seem right.

Almost looks like they were swapped.

vividspecter OP ,

Sometimes there can be bugs and regressions, but yeah it could be an issue with the benchmarks themselves.

nekusoul , in GPU overclocking software for unpopular GPU?
@nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de avatar

No matter which distro you actually use, the ArchWiki has a detailed section on overclocking AMD GPUs, including manual OC as well as a list of several CLI and GUI tools.

That said, I’ll second the recommendation of corectl if you’re looking for something user-friendly.

Zeron , in I want to dual boot W11 with Arch on my Raid 0 setup

Dual booting to a single drive(or an array) is a recipe for disaster. You’d be much better off putting each OS on it’s own separate drive, and setting arch as the boot distro since grub will allow you to switch to windows if need be. Windows has a tendency to screw with boot partitions so it’s more trouble than it’s worth to install it “alongside” on a single drive/raided drives.

RAID0 on nvme barely does anything anyways(especially for gaming,) if anything it’s worse as it makes some of the lower que depth operations(and latency) slower.

So to your question, you can in theory, but ideally you shouldn’t.

This. 👆

I’m committed right now to a Win 10 AME and EndeavourOS Dual Boot, and back when I first started running such a setup, Windows (8, 8.1, 10) would always overwrite the boot sector with it’s own loader when installed. You can get a dual boot from grub working by deliberately partitioning before installing Windows, then whichever Linux, making sure to install grub during. I gave up on that hassle after one round and now I just use separate drives for each OS.

Moc OP ,

I actually benchmarked my Samsung 980 Pro M.2 Raid 0 setup vs a single. While sequential read-write is between 2-3* better, random is exactly the same except for 1.8* better random write speed. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/f25f1d8f-da43-40d4-85a9-8b6d2877f505.png

Zeron ,

Which is why you generally don’t want NVME raid. You’ll never, ever use that much sequential in a consumer environment, and game loading mostly uses random reads rather than sequential. What makes an OS feel snappy and responsive is the lower que depths(i.e q1t1,) which actually get worse or stay about the same when you raid flash together.

The only time i feel like raiding them together is worth it is if you’re lazy and want one big storage blob, or if you have unique circumstances that demand ridiculous amounts of ingest speed, like with 4k footage.

Grass , in Someone just rewrote Wipeout and ported it to Linux (and macOS)

It would be nice to see projects like this with all the leaks we have had over the years if not for the legal bullshit. Or even just a code review to see what kind of weird shit devs used to do.

Agreed, some really amazing stuff could be lurking there. Let us not forget the glory that is the Fast Inverse Square Root.

MrMeatballGuy , in Overwatch 2 works perfectly on Proton experimental

The caffe runner had some versions that didn’t have the mouse focus problem, but it’s nice it works out of the box now.

I just compiled the SDL2 version, it works smoothly!

Awesome!

Thanks for the link, found more peeps to follow!

Didn’t know about this either:

The latest video by @Sora_Sakurai finally shows off footage of the elusive “Dragon King: The Fighting Game!”, a super early prototype of Super Smash Bros before they settled on using Nintendo characters!

RoyalEngineering , in Someone just rewrote Wipeout and ported it to Linux (and macOS)

Plays liquid smooth on my iPad.

Cosmos , in "You should migrate to Linux"

Are you using AMDVLK or RADV? I’ve heard that AMDVLK has been the source of a lot of problems for AMDGPU users on Linux.

_I_ OP ,
@_I_@lemmy.world avatar

I’m using whatever ships with Fedora 38. I haven’t touched it.

Cosmos ,

mesa-vulkan-drivers are installed? You should check journalctl output when you launch the games that don’t work. It should give you more info. AFAIK RDR2 should be working fine.

_I_ OP ,
@_I_@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, vulkan drivers are installed. Oh well, I’ll just keep booting Windows whenever I want to game.

I did however just play Northgard with a couple of friends, and it ran perfectly fine on Fedora. First time playing it on Linux, and it ran smoothly with zero issues, so that’s cool I guess. A taste of Linux gaming lol.

dreamwave , in PSA for people trying out Wine/Proton for the first time

I mean…Linux now has a good, mainlined NTFS driver. Sure you could use exfat, but even if you don’t plan ahead NTFS works fine nowadays

ekky43 ,

There were a lot of problems getting proton to work on NTFS, but that’s only because the COMPATDATA directory must not be located on NTFS. Worked fine the moment you symlinked COMPATDATA to your ext4 drive.

There was a time, where this problem got discussed almost weekly on reddit.

pino ,

yeah, those were the days I got into Linux gaming and I was dual booting with steam games on ntfs partition. Pain, only pain

ogeist ,

The problem is that the way NTFS works will not allow you to do symlinks and there are some permissions issues.

There are some workarounds but these might still cause issues.

LaggyKar ,
@LaggyKar@programming.dev avatar

My experience with hasn’t been good, as it failed to read some files properly, while ntfs-3g can read them just fine.

mrvictory1 ,

That mainlined ntfs driver is fast but occasionally drilles holes in ntfs so I have to chkdsk on Windows. Also NTFS is not mount & play, you need to configure it with right permissions etc.

doppelgangmember , in Intel Gets Hogwarts Legacy Running On Linux Driver By Pretending Not To Be Intel Graphics

“Intel? I’ve never even met her!”

masterairmagic , in Intel Gets Hogwarts Legacy Running On Linux Driver By Pretending Not To Be Intel Graphics

This is entirely Intel’s fault. XeSS is not working with the Linux drivers, that is why they need to pretend that the card is not intel.

Eezyville ,
@Eezyville@sh.itjust.works avatar

So this is just a bandaid to a larger problem?

Molecular0079 ,

I am confused why the driver doesn’t just communicate to the game that XeSS isn’t supported and have it disable the setting.

masterairmagic ,

indeed!

circuitfarmer , in What desktop environments are you using?
@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Hyprland + waybar and bemenu. Not truly a DE, but I love the look and the minimalism and I like to do things in the CLI anyway.

Defaced , in What desktop environments are you using?

KDE Plasma xorg. I use discord streaming quite a bit with friends so Wayland isn’t an option and I’m not using a third party discord client since that’s against discord ToS.

Char ,
@Char@mander.xyz avatar

KDE Plasma is great!
Feel free to keep on trucking with your setup. I’ve been using a different solution for discord streaming and wanted to share in case it sounds helpful for you. It’s been an improvement for me. Your mileage may vary.

aur.archlinux.org/packages/discord-screenaudio
Do not use your main account, make another one only for streaming with audio. Works with x11 and Wayland has more features. It’s a slight annoyance to have to connect to a discord chat with a second account but this works really well for streaming. TOS is sustained with main account and you actually get working audio/video streaming with a second account that won’t get banned (been doing this for years) but even if it does it won’t matter because it’s only used for streaming.

Just another option, feel free to disregard if it’s not right for you.
