  • I see that Windscribe was included. Their price tier is always in promotion so I'd take that in consideration.

    Also, they have app for Linux: https://windscribe.com/features/linux/

    It is not in Electron like many others. It is native Linux.

  • For Linux gaming (including DX12), is there a strong reason to choose NVIDIA over AMD?

  • I'd go with Linux, no matter what, but this seem exactly why I feel that we should be more clear. People may be building some PCs out there to use Linux for gaming and buying Nvidia because others keep saying that everything is smooth sails with Nvidia. A lot of it is working now but there are some downsides and the recommendation is to go with AMD if you can.

  • Thanks. That is what I thought but is good to confirm if we are not missing something.

  • That is a fair reason and a good remind actually. Thanks!

  • There isn’t a global 30% performance loss. There are specific games/configurations that have performance issues and bugs, but it isn’t all games.

    That was not what I said. I don't recall saying that there is a global 30% performance loss. I'm sorry if I gave margin for that interpretation.

    There are always bugs and performance issues that appear and get fixed, that’s the nature of Linux.

    This one in particular seem to be taking some time for Nvidia to fix.

    This is not the case now, NVIDIA works without major issues.

    I don't think I was implying that it doesn't work. My point is that for certain games that relies on certain technologies the Nvidia drivers are not optimized to reach Windows level or even AMD level on Linux for equivalents cards. It may worth reviewing the Nvidia forum link that I posted first.

    I still give the benefit of the doubt that I may be missing something and need to learn better something although I'm not following your reasoning completely.

    Finally, I just want to also point that I don't have strings attached to any GPU maker. I wish we had more options but it sounds that if we want something reasonable with good open source driver support for many different types of combinations of games, hardware and technology, AMD seems our only choice in Linux given this incidental bad performance present on DX12 combined with Nvidia GPUs on Linux.

  • I agree with that, because there is no offering from AMD to compete with the high-end Nvidia absolute performance GPU.

  • VPN Comparison

    Jump

  • NymVPN doesn't supports it. I asked their support. They have plans for the future.

    If you are looking for reliable port forwarding consider Windscribe VPN.

  • Is it so hard to get Nvidia GPUs working with Linux?

    Jump

  • To be clear, AMD has much less performance loss if any. In some cases surpassing the performance in Windows on those same games.

    So is it the game's fault? Mostly no. The performance gap is not due to poorly written games, it's about:

    • how efficiently DX12 gets translated to Vulkan
    • how optimized the Vulkan driver is for gaming
    • how much driver-level work is done per platform

    Games that are poorly optimized on Windows will also mostly likely perform badly on Linux.

  • Is it so hard to get Nvidia GPUs working with Linux?

    Jump

  • This is the biggest hurdle nowadays with Nvidia:

    NVIDIA GPUs generally experience a performance penalty when running DirectX 12 games on Linux, with reports indicating a drop of 15-30% compared to Windows. This is largely attributed to driver optimizations and the overhead from using translation layers like Proton and Wine.
