Are you on Wayland? Wondering if rt/dlss works on native games on Wayland or if it just works on x / xwayland
Yes, I'm on Wayland (Sway). I haven't tested any native games. But I think RT/DLSS doesn't care about Wayland or XWayland.
That being said, for now every game you run via Wine/Proton is running on XWayland (if one is on Wayland). They are in the process of merging code for native Wayland to Wine/Proton bit by bit. But it is going to take a while before everything is in place and Wine/Proton doesn't need XWayland anymore. But as I've said, from what I understand this isn't an issue for RT/DLSS at all.
Yeah I'm mainly concerned about if Wayland doesn't support rt/dlss or has slower drivers and proton migrating to Wayland ends up being a net negative. If they work in Wayland it should be fine
I'm no authority on any of this. But from what I think I understand I can tell you that you don't need to worry about this. RT/DLSS won't work any different or worse when games are going to run on native Wayland.
