What is the state of raytracing on Linux. Does it work on new games that are released with raytracing.

Does the game have to be native or does it work through Proton?

Is the performance comparable? Better? Worse?

Is it only working for AMD? Only for Nvidia? Both? (Neither?)

    Are you able to get RT Overdrive working on Cyberpunk? Was crashing my game when I attempted it.

      Yes, RT Overdrive works. But it is VERY heavy on performance. I’ve got a 3080ti and had to sacrifice resolution in addition to turning down DLSS quality to get barely playable frame rates. But yes, it works and looks incredible. Edit: RT Overdrive really isn’t meant for graphics cards which are weaker/older than the upper spectrum of the 4000 GPUs. There is a mod on Nexusmods, which reduces the rays which are being cast. With it you can get a few frames back and you won’t really notice the visual difference unless you know what to look for.
