Total War: Warhammer II AMD Radeon / NVIDIA GeForce Linux Gaming Benchmarks

Michael looks like you need to re-do your benchmarks

The test profile is from nvidia. I already asked them yesterday about 1080p vs 4k behavior and apparently its correct and did verify for these benchmarks rendering were at 4k. But will have more tests in days ahead.

I've compared now 1080p with 4k and the results are almost identical https://openbenchmarking.org/result/...RA-TWW2RNN2677

Is any way to run games like this Warhammer II or MadMax, Shadow of Mordor and etc. on Proton? Why I want run windows version and not native? Because most of this port just working very poorly and not have crossplatform multiplayer, so I prefer run it into WINE.
Is this possible?

There you go

I just hope the sale isn't eaten in whole by the mine-

Blah, that disappears as soon as one talked about it

If I set Resolution Scale to 50% I get something very similar to Michael. Also, this setting doesn't change when you switch between the presets. So that's my guess...

I did run a quick test with the phoronix test suite... even though it tells you it did run in 4k (see link below), I'm pretty sure this was on 1080p. Graphics looked quite worse than on real 4k.

If multiple people are seeing much worse results, that perhaps suggests there's something off with the benchmarks here.

I just looked over at GoL (https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articl...eractive.13001) who did 1080p and matched up the 980ti they are using.

At 1080p on Ultra GoL got 63.1FPS
In the same benchmark, at 2160p on the same GPU Phoronix somehow only got ~3FPS less?

Looking properly at Phoronix's system, it's really beefy, far more powerful than likely 99% of Linux gamers methinks. This is why I dislike benchmarks on such a powerful systems, it doesn't really show us anything close to what we're likely to get (which is basically the point of such benchmarks, is it not?).

He runs it on Mesa 19 , though that kind of difference is absurd.

I'm also running Mesa 19, performance mode on the CPU, and the GPU. Overclocked CPU also...

I have mesa-git as well on Arch with a Ryzen 1700 (gamemode installed) and my results are minimum 50% worse... maybe I should test with the phoronix test suite again.

Most here probably don't want to see this suggested but even having used linux for years, I highly suggest using windows 10 or seven to remedy what you are asking about, I go in phases honestly where I game like nobodies business beating games like Allen Wake, Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 1 HD remake and Hellblade Senuas Sacrifice within one month. Nothing wrong with dual booting when you are a hardcore gamer. I go through phases where I use nothing but linux cause I just feel in the mood for using it and it only. No shame in using Windows for gaming honestly, but for the purest? honestly they might tell you different.
