Quoting: damarrinNow this... this will not work well on the Steam Deck.

Good, for a moment i feared this native build was due to the hype for the deck!

Quoting: The_AquabatI think you are getting CPU bound, a Ryzen 2nd gen should be enough for avoiding cpu bottleneck. You are having a serious CPU bottleneck there imho.
When you finish the benchmark what are the results? at the end it tells you if you are CPU bound or GPU bound, my result is 96% GPU Bound, so virtually no CPU bound problem here.

Yeah thanks for the info, I never understood how to read those stats.
Will check in a couple of days when i'll be home.
Time to look for a new cpu/mobo/ram combo, sigh...

Quoting: The_AquabatMy 5600 XT does 84fps on Ultra with Shadow of the TR, on 1440p. Obviously this card is also good for 1440p. (Except high demanding games like Cyberpunk or similar you won't have issues)

Really? Mine struggles in some scenes and not even reaches 50fps, at 1080p.
In other ones it reaches 120...

Are you using the Feral port or forcing Proton? For me the Feral port gets close to 100 FPS on highest settings. With Proton it does as you describe, will be getting 100 and then suddenly go down all the way to 20 in some scenes. That's at 1080p.

Feral port.
One of the scenes i'm speaking about is on the first village on the sea.
Maybe it is particullary cpu bounded there and my i5-4590 is just not enough.
Will check asap.

Quoting: subImho, the half life series has aged extremely well and I miss those kind of games.
Handcrafted single-player campaigns with a really good story.

Me too.
I suppose you already played borderlands series, right?

Even if it was slow, even if today it works better via proton, i will never thank Feral enough for porting Grid Autosport to Linux with full support for my steering wheel and ffb.
So many days of pure fun, I'll never forget them.

Thank you Feral, maybe you'll find a way to break into the proton gaming market.

Quoting: elmapulbut the issue is: people will just install windows on it.

I don't see this like an issue at all:

• #1 Probably, Valve invested so much in Linux Gaming to sell this device.
  
• #2 They expected userbase to switch operating system *and* left the device open, they also states you can switch to Windows as a selling point.

Do we have to expect Valve to not invest in linux gaming anymore because of #2?
I find it illogical, Why the things should change after the first launch?

So, let windows gamers buy the steam deck and let them install windows on it, it will be a good thing for Valve and Linux gaming too.

As for Ubisoft, Big Coorps tend not to see things in deep depth, so if Steam deck will sell enough, probably they would port their games to it, regardless for what users would install on the console.

Seems there is a lot of movement on the Linux gaming front...

Yes indeed, and the timing is pretty suspicious to me, considering Valve went totally Amd and x86.
Let's see what (if anything) will happen!

Might not be suspicious that much... Valve might even had talk with Nvidia... It's just that AMD is open source and Valve can contribute to the project directly. Nvidia, on the other hand, by it's proprietary nature, is on it's own. Similar to what happened with the Shield.

Well, it seems that the gpu amd developed was done specifically for the Steam Deck console, so i suppose the agreement Valve-Amd was done long time ago, presumably much before nvidia provided specific fixes or new features like dlss for Linux.
Or maybe it is just that Nvidia trusts that the Linux gaming market will get a big boost, like everyone here is hoping.

Anyway, good news :)
