KDE/GNOME Wayland vs. X.Org Radeon Linux Gaming Performance

[user1]

It seems like compositing on KDE + x.org and xfce was enabled, hence the slightly lower performance. Don't know if it's possible on xfce, but on KDE you can disable the compositor via Alt + Shift + F12 keyboard shortcut.
I tested myself Dirt Rally (its built in benchmark) on KDE 5.22.5 + x.org and also on Gnome 41 + Wayland. The performance was identical.

I wonder how will kwinft and kwin-lowlatency look in these tests. I think problems with Hitman were because it failed to request compositor to disable for some reasons.

Yeah would be fun to see a comparison between kwin-lowlatency vs mutter-performance package.

Your/our experience with XWayland. Indeed some games have problems, but it's not pure Wayland experience.

And what I need to do to play my games with Wayland instead XWayland?

I would be really interested in data of a WLROOTS based wayland compositor (i.e. sway)

Wayland is not only faster, but more secure and power efficient. Eat this xorg fanboys.

Would be great if I could use it for everything already! But alas, it is not ready yet, so in the meantime X.Org…

Was compositing enabled in XFCE - that is the question. It may incur quite a serious performance loss.

I find it interesting how my experience with Wayland in games is just the opposite of the Phoronix benchmarks, and it's not just about FPS.

I was wondering the exact same thing! It'd be nice to add them to this benchmark.

If only Michael could test games with native wayland support, like dota 2 on opengl. Just add SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland at the launch options.

[Mario Junior]

sounds like you have a lot of things to say

I already said many times here. Stutter, less FPS than Xorg, vsync enabled everywhere, mouse cursor becomes a shit on games...

This happens in whatever distro I use.

Nvidia ?

AMD.
