Hello,
I’ve encountered an interesting performance issue with the current 440.82 driver. For some weird reason it’s lower than it would be on Windows with the same game settings when running via Proton but… if the Steam overlay is active while in game, the GPU and RS meters turn from red to green.
I thought that it may be just a powermizer setting but it’s not. Something else happens when the overlay is active that causes rendering to actually be faster.
Linux:
Windows:
Sorry for the quality, I had to take these with my phone:
With Steam Overlay:
No overlay:
Update:
I recalled that I actually can have the Steam overlay active at all times. Just turn on the fps counter (Settings → In-Game → In-game FPS counter
I turned it on, left it in the bottom-right corner. It’s small and gray and doesn’t bother me at all. Result:
GPU and RS are back in the green, CPU in red just like on Windows.
Weird part is that when the overlay is not enabled, the bar showing CPU activity barely shows anything. So is the CPU not being asked to work hard which causes the GPU to “idle” or is it the other way around?
