Hello,
The game performance is very slow. There is a topik on GitHub where you can read all NVIDIA users have low peroformance ~15-25 FPS no matter the video settings. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3654
In the mean time the game runs perfectly well on AMD and users are reporting 100+ FPS.
I’m with 1080 Ti and I experience the same problem with low FPS. I tried the latest vulkan drivers 440.66.03 and the stable one 440.64. Tried Flipping on/off, different OpenGL performance settings, different powermizer settings, compositor on/off, different resolutions, spoofing AMD card, enable/disable nvapi to no avail.
Getting a lot of comments about Nvidia card users having issues. I’m sorry all, but it looks like nVidia people are going to have to wait for the fix. Nvidia users are second class citizens in Linux because of the proprietary drivers it uses. If you are a serious Linux user trade it in and grab an AMD card as the performance and compatibility is lightyears ahead of Nvidia. That isn’t to discount that Nvidia is still the king of Windows and Streaming setups.
Can we get some attention? An answer or something? Do you like this NVIDIA hate wave?
I can also confirm the same performance issues mentioned above.
Vulkan 1.2.135
Geforce GTX 1070
Operating System: Arch Linux
Nvidia-driver: 440.66.03
Kernel Version: 5.6.0-rc6-1-tkg-pds
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: Intel® Core™ i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz × 8
Memory: 15.6 GiB
I’ve tried a number of different kernels and proton versions, as well as driver version 440.64, and seem to always get the same result (if I can get into the game at all.)
I’d be happy to provide any additional info that might be of benefit to anyone willing to look into this.
Thank you!
I’d like to confirm the same problem on my system.
Vulkan 1.2.131
GeForce GTX 1080 Ti via ROG XG Station 2 (eGPU, Thunderbolt)
Operating System: Fedora 31 Silverblue x86_64
Steam version: Native beta (non-Flatpak)
Kernel: Linux 5.5.10
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-8650U CPU @ 1.90GHz × 8
Memory: 23.2 GiB
nVidia driver version: 440.64
I’m getting about 24FPS max with a resolution of 1280x720 on low overall quality when I can normally play most games on high to ultra settings with decent FPS.
Sounds exactly like my experience. nvidia-settings reports dedicated memory usage at 900MB after loading into a game whereas in DOOM 2016 it’s like 2.7GB.
Ubuntu 20.04
RTX 2070S
driver 440.64 OR 440.66.03
vulkan 1.1.119 OR 1.2.135
One thing I did notice playing the game was that in the hell maps there are some real “low fps zones” where the fps drops to about 15 even if it was 100 just 1 step away in the same room.
Can also confirm the same issue. Game dumps everything to system memory, having 13 GB of RAM usage in total (on Ultra-Nightmare settings). VRAM usage is really low for a game like this. nvidia-smi shows less than 1GB of VRAM allocation. Game detects graphics card and Vulkan version just fine.
Did anyone try with driver 430.50 or lower? 430.64 got changed to use system memory in out of VMEM situations, maybe that is buggy? Needs an older kernel, though.
Hi aplattner, thank you so much for listening to us. I’m not sure whether it’s useful to you guys, but someone found out that the nVidia Linux drivers don’t seem to utilize VRAM correctly while playing the game, so everything goes to system RAM, instead: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3654#issuecomment-606952082
