SteamOS Update 153 Brings Updated AMD/NVIDIA Linux Graphics Drivers

Get a stronger video card. Game performance is good. I have no problems with any steam linux game. Even Witcher 2 is running ok after the patches from the developer.

Buying stronger hardware while letting 80% of the potential performance go out of the window is not a solution. It is the job of AMD to improve drivers, you can't deny that.

Did I miss something? I read "Kano" and below "Kanotix Developer", isn't he the developer?


Is a real question through.

Phoronix can you do a comparison test between ubuntu and steamOS performances please ?

well

If somebody wants fglrx-driver 14.12, it is in Debian experimental or within the Kanotix Dragonfire repository patched with kernel support up to 3.18 (does not seem to be needed there). The driver is basically only useful for xbmc (sadly not kodi), game performance is still bad.
