A Look At Linux Gaming Performance Scaling On The Threadripper 2950X
First up was Dawn of War III at 1080p with medium quality settings while using the Vulkan renderer. In this Feral-ported Linux game the frame-rates for both the GTX 1080 Ti and RX Vega 64 kept increasing until hitting eight threads. At 16 and 32 threads the frame-rates actually pulled back slightly, but at least this fairly new Linux game port was able to continue scaling up to eight threads.
Or at 1080p with maximum quality settings, the frame-rates stopped scaling on both GPUs after roughly four threads.
With F1 2017 at high quality settings, both graphics cards peaked at eight threads.
Or in the case of Mad Max at 1080p, the performance scaling really stopped at 2~4 threads. Mad Max is one of the Feral Linux ports now getting older and happened to be the first title where they were publicly testing their Vulkan renderer.
