 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | If I monitor nvtop from an ssh session on another machine, it's 100% | 09:19:17 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | If I tab out of the game and look in a terminal on the desktop, it's more like 55% | 09:19:33 |

If I tab out of the game and look in a terminal on the desktop, it's more like 55% I set the update interval to 6 seconds, tabbed into the game, waited, tabbed out. Still the same result. | 09:20:14 |
| l0b0 | Same for htop above | 09:21:02 |
| l0b0 | I'm running in borderless window mode; maybe it's different in fullscreen. | 09:22:40 |
| l0b0 | What bugs me is that lowering the settings and even the resolution doesn't seem to have much effect on FPS. | 09:27:06 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | some games honestly barely change their performance with different quality settings; dunno if that includes BG3. But resolution really ought to make a big difference... | 09:28:15 |
| 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 |
