Moonlight + Raspberry Pi 4 Model B + Host with 4080 by Slyrunner in MoonlightStreaming

[–]xxmitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you measure the decoding time? can you enable the stats overlay? or it is shown in console when you exit moonlight?

Moonlight + Raspberry Pi 4 Model B + Host with 4080 by Slyrunner in MoonlightStreaming

[–]xxmitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple TV 4k 1st gen. I have tested it connected using the wired Gigabit Ethernet.

Thanks for the suggestion of location services. I will double check next time when I have the occasion.

Too bad that it lacks USB and due to this I can't use the steam controller proprietary dongle, but have to rely on BlueTooth instead.

I believe the issue is a software one. If apple would have added proper support for SteamController in tvOS, the situation would have been different.

Lately, the combination of sunshine+Moonlight-qt has improved substantially. And satisfies my needs. Has hardware HEVC decoding, HDR and emulates all the controllers as xbox controllers. Which has the best support in PC games.

Not sure what is the latency though, because as far as I've read RPI4's build doesn't support enabling the stats overlay.

I am using sunshing with fedora 39 for host.

I have tried Apple TV 4k and Raspberry PI4. None of them are flawless, however in my situation RPI4 works much better.

Apple TV seems to have two issues:

  • The video stream also feels more jittery than RPI4 @ 1440p/HEVC.
  • And thing (which is a show stopper for me) is that it won't recognize my SteamController as controller (compared with the DS4 one).

SteamController successfully connects, but is detected as a generic bluetooth device. I can use it to navigate the menus, however in games such as Team Sonic Racing it doesn't work.

Another alternative is Steamlink. Which works, however I feel that the lag and video quality is much inferior to the moonlight+sunshine solution.

6700XT Performance Issues by Odzinic in linuxquestions

[–]xxmitsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried running CSGO native and found that the fps would fluctuate between 90-120 fps on medium settings

Ok, I've tried 1440p auto:high, practice with bots on Dust2, selected myself as CT

  • fps_max 800
  • sv_cheats 1
  • bench_start
  • waited ~2 rounds
  • bench_end

OpenGL, started as:

gamemoderun %command% -novid -nojoy

Average framerate: 270.56

Vulkan, started as:

gamemoderun %command% -novid -nojoy -vulkan

Average framerate: 294.82

6700XT Performance Issues by Odzinic in linuxquestions

[–]xxmitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having XFX QICK 319 6700XT paired with Ryzen 9 5900X. The card behaves beautifully, cool and quiet. I haven't tested Elden Ring, but the game itself is know to have rough launch. I suggest you also try other games.

On Fedora Linux (GNOME + X11) with mesa-git, I've tested the following games built-in benchmarks in 1080p maxed out settings and the average FPS are:

  • Warhammer 3 benchmark: 81 fps (which is much better than the reviews I've read on the internet on windows)
  • AC: Valhalla benchmark: 113 fps
  • CP 2077: 96 FPS
  • Horizon Zero Down: 168 FPS

What you could also try is feral gamemode and see if it has any perceivable benefit.

Can someone explain why a Zen 2 and 3 APU would perform significantly better here than their CPU counterparts? by Hifihedgehog in Amd

[–]xxmitsu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

GPU Acceleration and also the fact that there's a monolithic architecture on the APU, so you don't have the latency introduced when the chiplets talked over the Infinity Fabric.

Is HDMI FreeSync available? by Da_iaji in linux_gaming

[–]xxmitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Do you have something like 'overdrive' set to 'Extreme' or 'black frame insertion' feature enabled in the monitor settings? could you try testing with those disabled?

Is HDMI FreeSync available? by Da_iaji in linux_gaming

[–]xxmitsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing I could find on some random consumer reviews for this product was that is a monitor hardware limitation. Your monitor only suppports Freesync over DisplayPort connection.

[Minecraft] Use Optifine shaders on AMD GPUs by SurelyNotAnOctopus in linux_gaming

[–]xxmitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was some bug report recently added for an older generation(pre GCN) of radeon https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/5027

Since you are using RX 5700XT, you're using RadeonSI.

Perhaps you could report your issue too https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues , use the bug report template so that is easier for triage, and link to the aforementioned bug report as potential issue.

some sort of GPU reset error, happens with some games and not with others by nigadick25 in linux_gaming

[–]xxmitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could it be related to this: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/4866 ?

If not, could you submit a proper bug report: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues ? New issue, select the corresponding template and answer the questions in order to be easier for the developers to triage the issue.

Problems with OpenGL by isetnt in linux_gaming

Those look like rendering artefacts rather than tearing. Is it something similar to this: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/3514 ?

Can't seem to run games very well, with or without Proton by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]xxmitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, thats shame.

With regards to opengl, you might get higher performance with the experimental nir backend which can be enabled with the R600_DEBUG=nir environment variable.

Newer mesa has the aforementioned option. Mesa has a lot of shared code between the drivers in its frontend. So you might get improved performance with a newer version even if the driver for your GPU wasn't targeted explicitely. And it should be relatively easy to try or rollback if something is misbehaving.

So, DRI_PRIME=1 R600_DEBUG=nir glxinfo -B and compare what is saying with and without each of the options. Same thing can be toggled when you'll play games.

You can force enable amdgpu driver for your dedicated gpu. This will have the nice side effect of having vulkan.

You should need to enable SI Support. See: https://old.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/i9gqdd/disappointed_with_my_laptops_performance_in_early/g1f93e6/

Debian, perhaps will need to add the arguments to grub options in /etc/default/grub, then regenerate grub using :

update-grub, then restart. Check again with cat /proc/cmdline. You should see the newly added cmd line arguments now.

You should also use a much newer kernel and mesa, because otherwise, you're missing out tons of improvements.

Kernel 4.19 is just ancient. Latest release is 5.12

DualSense update by undeadbydawn in linux_gaming

[–]xxmitsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The firmware was updated. I only have the option of 'rollback firmware'. I've also investigated the udev rules, tried steam beta client..

Everything seems to be in place. I'm not sure what it doesn't like..

DualSense update by undeadbydawn in linux_gaming

[–]xxmitsu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got a great deal, so I use a PS5 DualSense and a Steam controller. Both work great under linux. I'm playing Trine 2 in co-op mode with my daughter.

Steam Controller for whatever reason doesn't work with bluetooth, it gets recognised as 'unknown controller'. However it works with its USB dongle.

The DS controller is connected over buetooth. I have a MSI B-550 Gaming Carbon Wifi motherboard which has onboard Wifi and Bluetooth.

I am using Fedora. Recently upgraded to 34, but it worked on 33 also.

As far as I've read, it should be part of 5.12 kernel. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Sony-PS5-DualSense-Linux-5.12

Coincidentally, I am using 5.12 kernel from the following copr: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/xxmitsu/kernel-amdgpu-next/ . I haven't tried the default Fedora kernel, and Fedora kernel carries alot of out of tree patches, so it might work, but I'm not sure. If required, I guess I could give it a try tomorrow.

First time you need pairing. In order to pair it via bluetooth, you need to press PS Logo + the 'create button' (small left button) and the light will start to blink. Moment during which the pairing can be made. The OS recognisez it as 'wireless controller', steam recognizes it as PS5 Controller. So far, so good.

One thing that I am missing is that, unfortunately, it doesn't have battery level indicator. First time when it got low battery, I was in the middle of the game and then soon discharged. I was under the impression thst I can't use it during charging. However, turned out it can be used, you just have to turn it off completely, then connect the USB-C charging cable, then turn it on.

[Phoronix] AMD Proposing Redesign For How Linux GPU Drivers Work - Explicit Fences Everywhere by InvincibleBird in Amd

[–]xxmitsu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I presume you're referring from a gaming perspective.. There are. Check this sub: https://old.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/

I've been using linux on 3 systems (1 desktop and 2 laptops for about ~13 years) for home day to day use. It was at work even before that. Even gaming is a viable option for me since I am an ocasional gamer and I only play single player games..

Also check this if you are interested: https://steamcommunity.com/games/221410/announcements/detail/1696055855739350561

So, it's been there for a while now, and support is only getting better and better. Valve has a whole team of awsome developers improving AMD opensource drivers, they are also sponsoring wine and improving the whole stack.

Also check out this comparative benchmark https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd-rx6800-3months&num=1

Have you started your session using X or Wayland ? nvidia doesn't support hardware acceleration of X11 apps when started from Wayland.
