I use an AMD card, playing on Bazzite. How and when, do i know when its best to use Vulkan or Directx on linux?
minus-square@SeekPie@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish2•3 months agoSo if a game has OpenGL and DirextX as options such as TF2), it’s generally better to pick DirectX?
minus-square@entropicdriftlinkEnglish2•3 months agoIf you have an Nvidia GPU definitely pick DirectX. On AMD it’s more of a tossup, depends on the game and the features in question but generally it won’t need to translate OpenGL, so it has higher maximum performance potential.
