Isn't it still Bethesda? I thought they bought Id. I don't follow their internal workings though.

Some of their studios did. Didn't recent Doom games use Vulkan?

What's the current story with Bethesda. Did MS force them to use DX12 or they are still using Vulkan in some games?

Is d3d7 basically ddraw.dll?

Quoting: whizseOh gosh, thank you so much! Adding a custom modeline fixed it!

I'm back down at a minimum power level at max refresh rate. I didn't even realise it was a bug, just stupidly assumed more Hz = more wasted power.

The monitor is a AOC CU34G2X for reference.

You're welcome!

Yeah, the power is wasted becasue MCLK (GPU memory clock) stays on max frequency when driver detects certain patterns, which are caused by whatever it establishes from display EDID. And sometimes those modelines result in some edge cases, so making custom ones can help.

I hope AMD can sort it out somehow and also KDE developers implement some way to set custom modeline in KWin Wayland mode, becasue right now it's only possible in X11 one.

The last time I had to fiddle with modelines was for CRT displays. Didn't expect it to become useful again.

Quoting: whizseNo hardware changes, but I did switch from 144Hz to 60Hz. Why? Turns out just idling at 144Hz causes the GPU never to enter the lowest power state and using 17(!) more watts.

I should probably try out that VRR stuff.

What display? I had this issue with my previous LG display, but newer one works fine. You can also experiment setting custom modelines to work around it, but that's not possible in Wayland session in KDE.

There is a huge bug about it here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1403

Just got Sapphire Pulse RX 7900 XTX - very pleasantly smooth experience so far.

On a side note, what's the story with Winesync project? Esync / fsync were rejected for upstreaming, but what happened to Winesync that was proposed as a more robust solution?

Cool to see it approaching merging! I hope it won't take too long, to allow testing it in upstream Wine.

This is cool to see and I agree, giving credit to developers is very nice for a change.
