Came to greentext this
The new 90% of Linux users are gamers. Yay or nay?
>>53939635
I don't think that Linux as a Desktop OS will take over gaming. SteamOS is a better approach, but even they are having issues.
>>53940187
Linux is a kernel and SteamOS uses it
>>53939424
So... Windows BTFO?
>>53940306
In this case, yes. One reason might be that drivers aren't that important anymore
Now just to get developers to actually use Vulkan. And this is going to be hard because Pajeetrosoft always pay the bigger game companies to use DirectX 7.0.
>>53940519
Waht's more important is that big engines are using Vulkan, like Unity, Unreal Engine, Cry Engine, Source Engine etc
>Microsoft accepts Vulkan and embraces it.
>Extends Vulkan further by helping out making it better
>Creates a fork, extends it further, names it Direct Vulkan and locks it down
>Make all developers use Direct Vulkan instead of normal Vulkan.
They did it with Windows, they did it with TypeScript, they did it with C#, they did it with Linq.
>>53940187
What is SteamOS but desktop Linux with good drivers, a big screen optimized DE, and Steam installed?
This may well bring large amounts of games to Linux and make them perform well.
I do suspect it's doing that much better on Ubuntu than on Windows because they're putting more dev effort into it on Linux right now. By release the Windows side of it should be better optimized. That or the devs are only rebooting to Win10 to test things, then reboot back to Linux straight away -- continual use like this makes updates and telemetry run while you're using it instead of when idle.
>>53940551
those big engines have the the possibility to utilize vulkan but many wont
>>53940655
Source 2 and UE4 will 100%, Unity is researching it and I don't know about the others.
>>53940655
>but many wont
yeah nah, they will because "big engines" want to hit a wide audience.
Vulkan as a crossplatform api allows that. dx12+ doesn't
>>53939635
Yes.
>>53939424
>Games
Anyway, Vulkan is doing wonders with android in phones too.
>>53940655
Well considering that Valve and NVIDIA are perhaps the biggest companies behind/supporting Vulkan, I highly doubt Valve won't be using it.
>>53940698
dx has meme'd it's way into everything desktop since.. forever.. and it's always been the worst graphics API and the least used
but cuz of memes it is most used on desktop platforms, only.
>>53939424
HOLY FUCK
most linux distros inherently are faster, arma 3 runs through some commercial translation layer and is still faster on linux than on windows.
>>53942096
I think Valve has even made their own tools for developing on Vulkan.

Lies.
>>53939424
>There's also been the difference of the Linux results being from the TTP public beta from two weeks ago, so take these initial results as you wish.
There could be a lot of performance improvements in that beta patch.
It could also be the fact that the devs of Talos Principle actually put more development times into Vulkan than DX12. After all, with these lower level APIs, drivers from the GPU manufacturers aren't quite as important. I don't know where the devs' priorities lie, but if they prioritize Vulkan over DX12, this isn't surprising.
>>53940519
>always pay the bigger game companies to use DirectX 7.0.
That is the dumbest fucking thing I've read all day.
now show dx12 performance

>>53942835
i find pic related pretty funny
linux doing (native) direct3d9 faster than windows itself
>>53942096
I guess a lot of companies want out of the directx monopoly. I guess Vulkan will benefit Nintendo too (another supporter I think) in getting more third party games on their next system.
>>53945764
my sides are in orbit
>>53945805
What, Nintendo and Vulkan?
>>53940567
>they did it with Linq.
???
>vulkan
AHAHAHAHAHAAHHA
>>53940567
All those things you mentioned were locked from the beginning you huge retard. But now they are opening up because they cannot compete with Linux and other programming languages/platforms like the JVM.
>>53945928
Vulkan is about 50% faster on Linux than on Windows according to OP's source
Ergo this benchmark, on Linux+Vulkan, would be pulling 10+ fps more than your DirectX 11 sample across the board.
>Microsoft still pays GPU vendors to write shitty OpenGL/Vulkan drivers for Windows
>Cucks still buying into their garbage
>>53945928
>laughing about Vulkan
>950 beats the 960 when the 960 uses DirectX 11 and the 950 uses Vulkan
you're dumb as a rock
>>53939424
Very well

WINDOWS BEAT BY UBONGO
WINDOWS FAGS ON SUICIDE WATCH!
>>53946684
nice damage control pranjeeet
>>53946684
Windows 10 is about as new, and shouldn't be much older than a two or three months thanks to the new release schedule
>>53946729
I'm not saying its a bad thing for Vulkan to be doing well, but to be proud of it doing better than DX11 when DX12 is now released is a bit of a scam, isn't it?
>>53946740
the
>>53946075
compares ubuntu's openGL and windows dx11
poo >> loo
>>53946740
dx12 is win10 only, while vulkan supports everything that gets drivers that support it.
>>53946740
But Vulkan on Linux is doing better than DirectX on Windows 10.
>>53940567
but typescript and its compiler are still completely open source.
c# is also going completely open source now.
>>53942096

>actually making games
WINDOWS BTFO
>>53940567
Embrace, extend, extinguish
known MS tactic, yes sire
I dislike Windows completely but:
-AMD drivers are still crappy on linux (even with fucking desktop environments)
-A generation and a half worth of games use DX10/11 or games that just won't work well on WINE and have no ports
-Even though they can beat DX12 because honestly nowadays there's -nothing- it will still take time and willing developers. Of which, I know everyone and their mother hates them, but the popular big consolefag companies would have to get on that as well. Yeah, EA, Rockstar, Ubisoft, those would have to consider it. You can put every single PC exclusive on linux and it still won't be enough.
