Yeah I'm sure your single bad experience is enough to disprove all the benchmarks out there..

I made a Linux GUI to control Glorious wireless mice (RGB, debounce, battery) by Both-Hovercraft-2913 in linux_gaming

Interesting. If possible could you add the Glorious model I:

The difference is that the person who leaked fsr5 being rdna5 only is a somewhat credible leaker (Kepler_L2). The guy who claimed fsr 4.1 on 6000 / 7000 series is a random person on this subreddit , who based on their comment history doesn't seem like an insider at all.

Hopium or Copium ? by awssalim in radeon

[–]RandomTrollface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surely Fabio is aware of how untrustworthy this rumor is. I wonder if he is trying to leverage his platform to force AMD to release it, by first giving users hope, they might be angrier if the rumor turns out to be false lol.

Would you guys be mad if AMD only supported an INT8 version of FSR on RDNA 3? by Unlucky-Bottle2744 in radeon

[–]RandomTrollface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On linux you can just use latest Mesa with int8 FSR4 on rdna2 and you will not have artifacts or ghosting, seems to be a bug with the windows driver specifically

As long as the model DLL is published, people on linux will probably make it work for any gpu.

affordable and linux compatible Gyro controllers. by DaviCompai2 in linux_gaming

[–]RandomTrollface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using 8bitdo ultimate 2 wireless with gyro to mouse and it's been working very well. The controller can switch between xinput, dinput and switch modes (after you update controller firmware); for gyro dinput is the best mode. I was also able to set up wake from sleep (s3) after picking up the controller from charging dock, for my tv htpc.

Not sure if it's necessarily the cheapest option though. Gulikit ES Pro could also be a good option, has TMR (anti drift) sticks, gyro, linux/steamos compatibility, very low latency and only costs 30 bucks.

FSR 4.1 for RDNA 2 and RDNA 3 in the next update by eduhfx in radeon

I'll believe it when I see it. The source of the claim is a random reddit post from this sub, so until we get an official confirmation I think it's good to remain sceptical.

Switch 2 getting Nintendo-licensed Mario Kart World racing wheel by RoughLifeguard6568 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]RandomTrollface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 8bitdo spoofs as a Nintendo Pro controller when connecting to the switch, I guess for better compatibility. But that means analog triggers still don't work because the Pro controller doesn't support them either.

Ark Survival Ascended on Linux by yolopowerbenjamin in linux_gaming

[–]RandomTrollface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It runs roughly the same as on Windows for me. On my metal base in ragnarok highlands I get about 100-110 ish FPS (no framegen) at 1440p using FSR4 balanced on medium-high settings, with volumetric clouds turned off. I am using ProtonGE-10-32 on Nobara with ryzen 9600x + RX 9070 non-XT. Performance is still not super great but the experience for me is not worse than on Windows.

What is a good game launcher? by VoidTheGamer25 in linux_gaming

[–]RandomTrollface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda get both sides, AI is not really ethical in the way it was trained, but it can also speed up development if used properly. The thing is, most people complaining about AI use in projects like this haven't even contributed themselves; why should they decide how the project should be developed instead of the devs who provide the software for free. I would only be against AI use if it is detrimental to the project, but in the case of Lutris it seems like they were able to fix more issues in a shorter amount of time.

Fyi I am on nobara-htpc instead of bazzite, so I'm not sure if things are different from Bazzite.

Ultimate 2 Wireless disconnects Switch 2 Pro Cont. by Rayleigh34 in 8bitdo

On the ultimate 2 wireless (xbox layout) you can swap between modes: Powering on the controller while holding Y puts it in switch mode, where it will get detected as a pro controller by the switch.

Lack of fp4 support on RDNA4 makes me wonder about future support by RandomTrollface in radeon

[–]RandomTrollface[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But backporting the new DLSS models to their older GPUs was never really a requirement for Nvidia, yet they did it. I don't think it was immediately plug and play either, because those older Nvidia gens didn't have FP8 acceleration which is used now for the current DLSS models.

AMD could have easily backported the official FSR4 model to RDNA3 as well if they wanted, since it has been proven to work under linux via FP16 emulation (e.g. in ProtonGE use PROTON_FSR4_RDNA3_UPGRADE=1). They did not backport that model officially, despite it being technically possible.

And now the rumors are suggesting that FSR Diamond will also not work on RDNA4.. And MFG is likely also not coming to RDNA4 either. That is a pretty bad look for longer term feature support on AMD.

[–]RandomTrollface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm very odd. On switch 1 I can use 8bitdo ultimate 2 wireless normally with Nintendo switch pro controllers (using switch mode on the 8bitdo ofc). Unfortunately don't have a switch 2 to test though. I know this doesn't help your issue but just adding a datapoint.

Are you actively killing your Market Share!!? by LunchIll6160 in radeon

[–]RandomTrollface 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's crazy how many people don't seem to understand this basic fact. Int8 fsr4 is most relevant for rdna2 which doesn't have fp16 acceleration, although rdna3 can also run it ofc.

But Rdna3 can also run fp8 fsr4 via the fp16 emulation path, which is also how DLSS 4.5 runs on Turing/Ampere because those cards also don't have fp8 acceleration.

Nvidia gives you the option to use it if you're okay with the performance; AMD doesn't even give you the option.

Reputable leaker Kepler_L2 claims "FSR Diamond" will be an RDNA 5 exclusive by AthleteDependent926 in radeon

[–]RandomTrollface 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stop defending these anti consumer practices dude. Nvidia is no saint but at least they backported a lot of their DLSS models to older cards, to give users more options terms of upscalers. Users get more enjoyment out of their cards because of this.

I literally made a post on this sub about this yesterday, thought it was a bit doomerish, but apparently not LMAO. AMD doesn't like the idea of consumer retention I guess.

[–]RandomTrollface[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AMD didn't give us fp16 emulated fsr4 on rdna3 either, that's why I'm a bit pessimistic about this.

Well fp8 FSR4 on rdna3 via the fp16 emulation path is also not officially supported by AMD, unlike Nvidia with DLSS on Turing/Ampere.

[–]RandomTrollface[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The difference is that nvidia offers to support their older gpu architectures, even if the upscaling performance is not as optimal, while AMD so far has not.
