Seems it’s worse if you have nvidia (for Linux desktop) cause apparently they didn’t fund the project for optimization. So even great cards are struggling I heard. My 1080Ti won’t even start it. Finally an end of an era. I had to refund. I do have a steam deck but it doesn’t seem worth it to get starfield on it

AMD cards can use latest mesa driver to get it work though.

anything is worse if you have nvidia to be fair

Especially recently. When I got my 1080 ti I could appreciate them but since then fuck no. AMD will be my next card.

ML applications as well? I am still unsure if I get the same performance at AMD.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

idk, but AMD is working in that, that what i know, so buy a recent card because that where AMD is focusing on improving

From reading the github for proton it looks like there a good number of bugs in the latest drivers. Pwople have had success running with older driver but ahit performance.

Im running in proton with experimental on a 6700xt on high and have no issues at all. I dis have to install newer vulkan driver ppa. Ibuntu base drivers are old

Runs fine on 5700xt as well medium settings, higher settings starts hitting FPS a bit hard.

Yea I've got the same GPU and its normally very capable of high settings with everything I normally play but Starfield is kind of a bear it seems.

Yup! Everything I read shows people with your card having better success especially with mesa. Good to know for when I switch to AMD in my inevitable future.
