So… Yeah, I installed Lutris on my KDE Neon (based off of Ubuntu 22.04, which might have an outdated Mesa…not sure how to get a most recent one?). I’m getting the now well-known AMD issue with textures, where the FBI jackets are non visible, and the facial textures look a bit…flat/untextured. Performance is rather decent with rasterizing, but Path Tracing/RT is grayed out in settings, not available.
Another user suggested Nobara, which is Arch/Fedora-based. This fixed the textures, at the cost of completely tanking the performance to around 10-15FPS. RT settings continue to be greyed out… Any idea of what am I doing wrong? My card should be fully capable of displaying RT graphics, right ? Even if not hitting a great framerate, I’d like to see it!
EDIT: Ok…Just to bring some sanity back, Windows DOES enable the path tracing, and I can see the performance hit depending on whether it’s enabled or not, and it definitely plays with a rather high FPS if it’s off. So…what’s gimping my Linux experience? What can I try?
As you mentioned, you need the latest Mesa(ATM git master). With that I had no issues.
For ray tracing, the only thing which enables it for me is using the VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11 environment variable, but it would get so slow in forest and around water that made me disable it.
