10-Way NVIDIA GeForce Linux Vulkan Performance For F1 2017

[humbug]

GOL compared windows vs Linux and sadly it's looking really bad. On a 980ti Linux Vulkan performance is 30-40% lower than windows DX11

Ouch

Would be very interesting to get a Feral developer technical comment on the reason for the wide gap. Michael?
Would be a lot less work than bench-marking 34 GPUs

No CPU load graphs, no perf/W... I know day 1 reviews are a thing, but I hope those are still incoming.

I'm so curious about the RADV-results, especially those of the Vega cards...

GTX 1060 Linux: 117 fps, Windows: 76 fps
GTX 1070 Linux: 142 fps, Windows: 110 fps

What is the problem??

You already got answered, but look also at gtx1080ti.

Why do you think Nvidia underperform in Vulkan? They don't. AMD's Vulkan performance may be better in the well optimized windows driver but...

on Linux Nvidia Vulkan is easily faster than AMD. AMD are the ones who underperform on Linux Vulkan. It's something nobody expected after all the promotion regarding thinner driver layers, using mantle as a starting point etc... But sadly it happened.

Is it hard for you to realize that at 1080p there's no gain in performance from gtx1070 to gtx1080ti in linux? You can clearly spot the difference with guru3d benchs (DX11 ofc). Nvdia gets more performance with DX11 than with vulkan.

So basically the recommended configuration can run this at 4k, ultra settings with AA. On the other hand, the recommended configuration does include a GTX 1070 which is anything but cheap.

I'm more interested in the AMD numbers, but this is promising stuff. I've recently purchased two full priced new releases, and the price is a little steep, so it'll really hit the wallet to get his. But I'm definitely going to do it if only to support Feral.

Another call for NOT doing Windows benchmarks. If you want Windows benchmarks :

There is no support for AMD driver in this port, only radv. So this is first game with official support community driver. I like it.

And don't think compare this to Windows is important. If you want play in linux you need linux benchmark. Better option is testing with ryzen then Windows

I think other games support RadV too. But this is the first Vulkan title which supports only RadV and not amdgpu pro. You could see the tide turning for a while though with Valve heavily contributing to it, and feral switching focus. Once it's open sourced and once it works on modern distros and kernels the tide will turn for AMD's official driver. For now Game Devs are not gonna support drivers which only workstation users run. Even steamOS switched to the open drivers for AMD.

Why does the fence looks so horribly broken on this screenshots? Screenshot error? Rendering issue?

You cant compare those numbers, those benchmarks were run with different settings.
