1080p Linux Gaming Performance - NVIDIA 415.22 vs. Mesa 19.0-devel RADV/RadeonSI

[tildearrow]

My bug free System:

OpenGL: renderer: Radeon RX 570 Series (POLARIS10 DRM 3.27.0 4.20.0-rc3+
LLVM 7.0.1)
v: 4.5 Mesa 19.0.0-devel (git-9dc135e 2018-12-17 bionic-oibaf-ppa)

You are just pissed when using your old and buggy Mesa and kernels.

Yeah, I am very pissed when my system works correctly, and happy when does not.

My machine is similar, 2700x/x470/vega56 and it works great with xubuntu 18.04. So yeah, you should definitely try it. If you don't want to mess with kernels & graphics ppas though try manjaro. That worked pretty well here too and all the software is current.

Hey, thanks for the response. So you are saying, even when it says on Steam's Civ6 page (below, where the linux requirements are) that it doesn't run on "ati" and intel, it does on your rx480, which is ati/amd so that clearly contradicts Steam's statement.

Annoying, gotta research some more.

Yup, that's right.

Kind regards

Hey how do you run Civ6 on amd graphics? I run vega and it segfaults on me (4.19.10, padoka ppa).

According to Steam's Civ6 page:

Sorry for the delay in answering, I dont play on the vega, this is a Rx 480 4/8 gb.

Works by pressing play on steam. It's not the fastest hardware solution, i generally get around 40 FPS in the benchmark.

Kind regards

Anyone from AMD already took a look at this bug report:

?

Waiting for 1080p on HDTC online Tv.

@dungeon
It is pointless to discuss with debianxfce.

I'll double my continued contribution to Phoronix if the "ignore user" feature gets fixed.

[lichtenstein]

Oh I understand your statement. I was simply adding my idealistic angle to it .

[duby229]

By "they" do you mean the civ6 devs? If so, well ... Releasing a game for linux that only works with closed source drivers is simply embarrassing.

Other than that, I haven't tried it on wine since the reports on the net aren't too positive about the results.

It's not about open vs closed, it's about nvidia's drivers are not compliant with OpenGL specs. So games developed on it are not compliant.
