This is promising. What is the state of this driver in 2023? Whats still missing?

It only exposes Vulkan 1.0 which means only DXVK works and up to version 1.5.1, not later. Also, Rise of the Tomb Raider was extremely slow when I tried it so some major optimizations have to be done as well I think. Beyond that it's perfectly usable.

Thats way better than I expected, way sooner!

Will I have a bad time if I try switching my Ubuntu machine to it, is desktop use generally stable/usable/testable right now?

is there context as to why people are excited that a top-end gaming laptop capable of 4K gaming is playing a game from 16 years ago? ...at 60fps?

[–] ReverseModule@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, the driver is 6 months old. It can also run Overwatch 2 at 100+ FPS in some areas. For 6 months, that's staggering performance.
