the stuff that matters is still entirely closed source

AWell what was the point of Nvidia doing that then if it does nothing
Klicensing, makes the kernel module easier politically
Kwill no longer taint the kernel
Kthats it
Kcheck in here, we're still looking into it
Mah so nothing really atm ?
Kfew things you can try in there
MI'll search and see 
Mno biggie just mostly out of curiosity while i get ready to finally do full dual boot setup haha
ASo Bazzite will still require a AMD card to get the best experience on it?
Tyes
Talthough intel arc works too
Kyes, new drivers change nothing
KAMD and Intel Arc continue to work
KNvidia drivers continue to suck outside of our control
Kthey've had years to fix it at this point
AShame AMDs performance still isn't as good tho
Kdepends on what you're doing really
KAMD is often faster for raster
Kand given how early RTX is and how dependent it is on cheap hacks like DLSS, I really don't care for it
AYea AMDs RT performance sucks tho in comparison and FSR doesn't do as good of a job as DLSS
Kyeah, neither bothers me
KRT is too early to care about, it ruins performance for minimal visual gain
Kand DLSS/FSR are hacks
Kif I wanted my game to run at 720p on my desktop I'd go back to 2006
Kcool on handhelds tho
AThat depends on the game tho some games really do benefit quite a lot from RT
KI'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
KShow me a Cyberpunk screenshot that looks remotely worth the ~80% performance loss and I'll be amazed
Ktruth is we've gotten really good at faking it
Kand RT was pushed way before it was ready to sell hardware
Khappens every time
AMetro Exodus Enhanced Edition looks really good and performs really well and yet is a game that requires RT it doesn't work without it
KI actually play the non-enhanced version because I can't tell the difference and it runs better w/ an official linux port lol
DRay tracing is still a tech demo for now
AWhat with? Baked lighting? Which isn't actually being live rendered and calculated
Awhy do you even care how it got rendered, as long as it look decent lol
ATo 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
DBaked lighting if done properly can look very good and not resource intensive
Twhat a wild conversation
Kmy guess would be you're running the enhanced edition at half the resolution or less
Kand then faking it until you make it
Tnvidia drivers on linux shouldn't be so ass and they should already have been open source to begin with like AMD and Intel
Tthats what it comes down to
Kthe launch version didn't come with FSR/DLSS
AIt's just more impressive knowing it's done in real time
ANo I run it at full res because the performance is good enough at full res around 80 FPS the last time I tested it
