Do you know if these new open source drivers will allow for the Steam deck gaming mode thing to work

Do you know if these new open source drivers will allow for the Steam deck gaming mode thing to work with Nvidia cards or do open source drivers not make any difference for compatibility with that mode

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 7:59 AM

the open source drivers are basically meaningless

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 7:59 AM

they

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 7:59 AM

1: break every card older than a 16xx

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 7:59 AM

2: fix nothing

Mitch Conner•7/28/24, 7:59 AM

i lost rainbow on ally and thought i'd come here to see what's up, no biggie really tho

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 7:59 AM

the stuff that matters is still entirely closed source

KKyle Gospo the stuff that matters is still entirely closed source

AceHercules1196OP•7/28/24, 8:00 AM

Well what was the point of Nvidia doing that then if it does nothing

AAceHercules1196 Well what was the point of Nvidia doing that then if it does nothing

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:01 AM

licensing, makes the kernel module easier politically

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:01 AM

will no longer taint the kernel

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:01 AM

thats it

🛟bazzite-helpAlly Rog - Complete Setup Guide

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:01 AM

check in here, we're still looking into it

Mitch Conner•7/28/24, 8:02 AM

ah so nothing really atm ?

MMitch Conner ah so nothing really atm ?

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:02 AM

few things you can try in there

Mitch Conner•7/28/24, 8:02 AM

I'll search and see

Mitch Conner•7/28/24, 8:02 AM

no biggie just mostly out of curiosity while i get ready to finally do full dual boot setup haha

AceHercules1196OP•7/28/24, 8:03 AM

So Bazzite will still require a AMD card to get the best experience on it?

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/28/24, 8:03 AM

yes

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/28/24, 8:03 AM

although intel arc works too

AAceHercules1196 So Bazzite will still require a AMD card to get the best experience on it?

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:03 AM

yes, new drivers change nothing

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:03 AM

AMD and Intel Arc continue to work

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:03 AM

Nvidia drivers continue to suck outside of our control

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:03 AM

they've had years to fix it at this point

AceHercules1196OP•7/28/24, 8:04 AM

Shame AMDs performance still isn't as good tho

AAceHercules1196 Shame AMDs performance still isn't as good tho

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:05 AM

depends on what you're doing really

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:05 AM

AMD is often faster for raster

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:05 AM

and given how early RTX is and how dependent it is on cheap hacks like DLSS, I really don't care for it

KKyle Gospo AMD is often faster for raster

AceHercules1196OP•7/28/24, 8:07 AM

Yea AMDs RT performance sucks tho in comparison and FSR doesn't do as good of a job as DLSS

AAceHercules1196 Yea AMDs RT performance sucks tho in comparison and FSR doesn't do as good of a ...

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:07 AM

yeah, neither bothers me

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:07 AM

RT is too early to care about, it ruins performance for minimal visual gain

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:07 AM

and DLSS/FSR are hacks

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:08 AM

if I wanted my game to run at 720p on my desktop I'd go back to 2006

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:08 AM

cool on handhelds tho

KKyle Gospo RT is too early to care about, it ruins performance for minimal visual gain

AceHercules1196OP•7/28/24, 8:09 AM

That depends on the game tho some games really do benefit quite a lot from RT

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:10 AM

I've not really seen one. Most enjoyment I've gotten out of RT was replaying half-life at 60fps and seeing scientist's eyes look funny through glasses

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:10 AM

Show me a Cyberpunk screenshot that looks remotely worth the ~80% performance loss and I'll be amazed

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:11 AM

truth is we've gotten really good at faking it

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:11 AM

and RT was pushed way before it was ready to sell hardware

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:11 AM

happens every time

AceHercules1196OP•7/28/24, 8:12 AM

Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition looks really good and performs really well and yet is a game that requires RT it doesn't work without it

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:12 AM

I actually play the non-enhanced version because I can't tell the difference and it runs better w/ an official linux port lol

dreamyuki•7/28/24, 8:13 AM

Ray tracing is still a tech demo for now

KKyle Gospo truth is we've gotten really good at faking it

AceHercules1196OP•7/28/24, 8:15 AM

To be honest for me the enhanced edition somehow gets better performance than the original one don't know how that is possible but it is

dreamyuki•7/28/24, 8:15 AM

Baked lighting if done properly can look very good and not resource intensive

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/28/24, 8:15 AM

what a wild conversation

Kyle Gospo•7/28/24, 8:16 AM

my guess would be you're running the enhanced edition at half the resolution or less
