Phoronix: Mesa RADV Driver Now Working With The Game "Control" Out-Of-The-Box

The Windows game Control that runs via Valve's Steam Play no longer needs the RADV_PERFTEST=rt environment variable override to enjoy the ray-tracing support but with Mesa 23.1 (and potentially backported for 23.0) will work out-of-the-box...

Would it be possible to benchmark the performance difference in RT performance between Linux and windows?

Not Control, but Michael has recently done that for GravityMark and Quake II RTX:

Gaming on Linux in general, for that matter. I practically shit a brick when my screen switched over to HDR10 with Gamescope yesterday. None of the games I tried worked and the Steam BPM UI was overly bright, but it was HDR on Linux none the less.

If anyone is curious to try it out you need a patched 6.2 kernel from JoshuaAshton (or the current cachyos-linux-rc kernel), gamescope from source, and gamescope launched with the environment variable ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=1 and the launch flag --hdr-enabled. I edited those into the session launcher from gamescope-session-git on the AUR.

Thanks, Josh.
