It seems to be a software issue on Linux.

Look at the windows numbers

Thanks Michael. Look forward to seeing numbers vs windows dx12.
R9 290 seems to be not performing to it's potential. It's normally way faster than...

That's awesome.
I got worried because of the below source not listing recommended AMD GPU

Herem is correct

[humbug]

Maybe it is, I can never make up my mind on this.
Sometimes I think the competition is good.
But then I also think about the potential combined...

Looks like RadV is stronger in lower resolutions when CPU limited.
amdvlk is often ahead at 4K.

Their minimum requirement do mention R9 285 so they have tested that at least. But the recommended spec mentions gtx 980ti without mentioning the equivalent...

Oh dear, looks like GPP has brainwashed it's first victim.

LOL, AMD cards do both well, gaming and compute......

Good stuff.
Nvidia leads the way on Linux Vulkan performance.

[humbug]

They are doing well AMD. Now it's mostly their Linux Vulkan performance that has to catch up to Nvidia.

We shouldn't be amazed though, this...

Nobody is claiming it is as big as 'geforce' or 'radeon' branding but it plays a part. Just having gaming in your name is enough to increase sales significantly,...

It would, But now the community including Valve is heavily invested in RadV. And everybody is using RadV, it has been rolled out as the default Vulkan...

[humbug]

But in the case of Vulkan it's a shame that they don't combine their efforts with the AMD devs. Would be nice if all the smart people were contributing...

[humbug]

So 1-3% performance gains and no regressions. Good job Valve!

Ya you have been unlucky.

I had a similar experience with Nvidia years ago but once I got through it my 9600gt GPU served me well for like...

Good to see the continuous work on amdvlk.

Hopefully soon there will be an easy way in popular distros to switch to amdvlk and keep it updated...
