Graphics Pipeline Library thats included in the latest nvidia stable drivers(also available in the vulkan development drivers) is a gamechanger for Linux gaming.

How does this differ from E-Sync & F-Sync? And, why is it currently only available for Nvidia GPU's? Is this something developed by Nvidia to utilize Nvidia Exclusive Hardware Features? Edit: Rough way to go out, you need some more practice, at least you seem to have your aiming mostly on-point!

@Xpander69 dude can you show me how to start playing apex on my freshly installed Ubuntu OS?? Step by step??? From scratch please I have no idea on this stuff

Rough way going out indeed:D I didnt hear the other player footsteps, so i thought its only one. Mistakes were made :)

@@xpander69 Ah, sweet! I hadn't heard anything about this myself, so that's pretty cool to learn about it out of the blue. Thanks for doing a video on this Xpander!

Its a vulkan extension. Nothing to do with esync/fsync. Not nvidia exclusive either. Amd support is in the works by mesa devs

Very nice! Does it work in all DX11 games?

[ 2022-10-17 12:51:21Z ] 👍 2

From my testing yes. Though some UE4 games are a bit special case and still have few stutters here and there, but not as much as before. For those games you can modify the engine.ini file to do the preloading in the menus: To enable compiling of shaders in pre game menu or during loading screens together with the GPL extension in UE4 games: In Engine.ini Default located at C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\GAMENAME\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\ Add [/script/engine.renderersettings] r.CreateShadersOnLoad=1 niagara.CreateShadersOnLoad=1

seems cool but why u dont using `gamemoderun %command%`?

[ 2022-10-17 17:12:57Z ] 👍 0

this doesn't give any benefit to me. i can force my CPU to performance mode without gamemoderun also. But from my testing schedutil which is my default is performing as good as forcing it to performance for the majority of games i play.

[ 2022-10-17 17:09:54Z ]👍 1

This is incredible. Poor performance while building shader cache will turn a lot of people away from Linux gaming, but this would be hardly noticeable. Are the launch options used in this video needed? Are they universal or apex specific? I've never heard of -preload before

@@xpander69 Got it, that's what I was thinking. Thank you for showing this off! I've just upgraded my Nvidia driver, and I'm hyped to give this a try on some new games!

launch options aren't needed. those are specific for apex legends, yes. preload just helps to build the map shaders ahead of time

Tried it in shatterline - max frametime 20ms. It runs very smooth. And plus 15 average FPS in 2k on my old i5-4670+GTX1060. Its unbelivable...

I would, but i dont have the game and im not really interested with the Coop PVE shooters. But i might try at some point with the steam refund thing :D just cant use that too often hehe.

The preload tag would be amazing on all games - register the entire game's content on first load like that to eliminate any stutter.

[ 2022-10-20 08:26:23Z ]👍 0

Is it working just with Nvidia?

[ 2022-10-20 09:03:05Z ] 👍 0

Currently yes. Since july with the vulkan dev drivers and since october with the latest stable drivers. Amd support is in progress, theres experimental support for it now with few patches needed afaik and some launch parameters.

[ 2022-11-05 15:12:53Z ]👍 0

things still working smooth after latest season launch? i would love to know when it becomes available for amd in the future if you are able to post anything relating to that. thanks

[ 2022-11-05 16:33:27Z ] 👍 0

Yes, still smooth. As for AMD support, i think the plan was to get it into mesa 22.3, but im note sure. Anyway Apex Legends now also has DX12 mode which maybe makes it better on AMD even without graphics pipeline library as i heard its precompiling some shaders in advance by default. To try it i think its -eac_launcher_settings SettingsDX12.json and you can include -preload also just in case

HI, How should i check my DXVK version. I config with -preload seems it become fase in nvidia 525

@@xpander69 makes sence had a feeling too, it seems to prompt the compiling shaders when the game starts in my testing, i also am gpu bound now so i guess at that point gpu just gets gpu bound, in conclusion now it feels games really run as they should. Thanks for clarifying.

@@xpander69 Thank you for your answer. i have 535(beta) drivers downloaded from ppa repository using software and updates gtk. Using wine ge for this, should i consider all good? Also i am using dxvk-async just on 'control' game does it help or hurt gpl?

if you have GPU drivers 520+ and using proton 8 or experimental then its enabled by default. if you want to see it in action then DXVK_HUD=compiler %command% into steam launch options for the game and you should see compiling on the left bottom of the screen when its pre-caching the shaders in the menus

I installed nvidia-vulkan drivers (535) but still a lot of stutters, also here is my lauch options : gamemoderun DXVK_ASYNC=1 DXVK_GPLASYNCCACHE=1 DXVK_HUD=compiler %command% -dev -novid -high +fps_max 0 any suggestions

@@VrashabhSontakke No. You don't really need that. Drivers that support graphics pipeline library will do all the pre-compiling in the game menu. So the steam's own pre caching isn't really needed.

@@xpander69 thanks for the response, will retry using the official DXVK today, also, was the shader pre caching in steam settings enabled ?

DXVK_ASYNC isnt even in official proton versions. Its a hacky unofficial DXVK build that uses async. I wouldnt use that on any multiplayer games as it can lead to rendering issues due to nature of this hack. There is absolutely zero stutters with the nvidia drivers 525 and up and proton 8 or experimental. The pre-compiling happens during main menu, loading screens.
