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?
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.
ohhhh NVK, didn't spot that in the title!
