/lg/ - Linux Games

Overwatch should be playable on Linux soon(TM). Can't wait. This (and Dark Souls) are the only games I boot into Windows for. 

Not much longer until I can finally nuke my Windows drive!

So, the other day Mad Max released for Linux. Since I use an AMD card I assumed it would be another shithouse port since Feral games are usually trash on AMD, but to my surprise it's actually really fucking good. Even better for nVidia users I suppose since they have official support by Feral. No idea what it's like compared to Windows.

Here are a few screenshots including my framerate, cpu load, gpu load and usage and frame time buffering.

Note: The game was being played on the very high preset and motion blur disabled. Also the default screenshot program in gnome seems to slightly impact the framerate when taking screenshots, so the fps may be slightly lower that what I normally get.

specs:
> r9 290 (using kernel 4.7.6, latest stable Mesa 12.0.3 and standard ati kernel driver, not amdgpu)
> 8gb RAM
> i5 3470 (4ghz)

Additional notes: Game also runs pretty nicely at 4k on the normal preset. On normal I get around 50-70 fps, on very high I get around 40-50fps (still a better experience than a console!). I'll post some 4k screenshots later if I can be bothered.

==OH, AND NO DENUVO==

This board was made so that people can talk about vidya games on GNU/Linux. Not really any rules for the moment other than the obvious:
Keep it Linux.

Any further rules can be discussed in this thread.
