 l0b0 | Ultra settings gets ~40 FPS, and medium gets about the same. Only low settings seem to increase to ~50/60 (don't remember which). | 09:29:21 |
| l0b0 | What about DX11 vs Vulkan? Should there be an appreciable difference? | 09:30:01 |
 K900 | Depends entirely on the game | 09:30:33 |
| K900 | But generally I'd expect Vulkan to be slightly better | 09:30:42 |
 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | BG3's Vulkan didn't work when I first tried it when I first got the game in september | 09:32:38 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | haven't tried it since though | 09:32:46 |
| K900 | It should be fixed on Mesa 23.3 | 09:32:52 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | oh hey, yea, it is | 09:34:29 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | and I reclaim most of the delta compared to windows | 09:34:38 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | nice | 09:34:39 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | not that I would notice the difference between 80 and 90 fps | 09:34:50 |

But generally I'd expect Vulkan to be slightly better What did you mean earlier about not needing Vulkan for gaming, in that case? | 09:36:19 |
| K900 | Not needing AMDVLK | 09:36:27 |
| l0b0 | Oh right. | 09:36:34 |
| l0b0 | Thank you very much for the help! | 09:36:41 |
| K900 | Mesa already has a Vulkan driver for AMD | 09:36:45 |
| K900 | Which is generally better than AMDVLK | 09:36:53 |
| K900 | Both for compatibility and for performance | 09:37:42 |
| l0b0 | On a related note, any ideas why the HDMI audio signal could be cutting out, while the display is fine? | 09:38:13 |
| K900 | AMDVLK is basically a Linux port of the AMD Windows driver | 09:38:23 |
| K900 | With some proprietary bits removed | 09:38:32 |

On a related note, any ideas why the HDMI audio signal could be cutting out, while the display is fine? bear in mind that linux doesn't support hdmi 2.1 | 09:38:45 |

On a related note, any ideas why the HDMI audio signal could be cutting out, while the display is fine? Because HDMI is Like That, sometimes | 09:38:45 |
| K900 | See above | 09:38:48 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | so at 4K, the best you're going to get is 60Hz | 09:38:53 |
| K900 | And yes, use DisplayPort | 09:39:01 |

so at 4K, the best you're going to get is 60Hz 60 would be fantastic, 40 is barely playable. | 09:39:15 |

bear in mind that linux doesn't support hdmi 2.1 Also, just to be pedantic, *AMD on Linux | 09:39:17 |
| K900 | In reply to@vengmark2:matrix.org
60 would be fantastic, 40 is barely playable. This is about the display refresh rate | 09:39:27 |
| l0b0 | My audio receiver unfortunately doesn't support DP. | 09:39:30 |
