Nouveau doesn't support power/load reporting yet. Some games will work better than others. Just because it is comformant does not mean it will be fast either. Comformance comes first then optimizations.
That said, it could still be running on the wrong gpu, but i don't know. My experience when I've tried it on my 4080 hasn't been mind blowing performance, but much better than before all this work started landing.
What about the proprietary driver? IDK if they're even using Nouveau or not. NVK is apart of Mesa... Also just noticed that they're running it under Wayland directly... And with HDR. Kinda in a very experimental area. Point is we need more specs. Would love to see a
hw-prope.It is definitely Nouveau. NVK is just the Vulkan side of it. NVK is in a experimental level. I personally would not run it daily yet, ignoring the lack of some video features and dlss in games. They have made huge strides in the last couple years with it though,
Edit: He has been posting videos for a while now running NVK, btw.
I'm aware. I'm just pointing out that he needs to publicize his specs
hw-propeand that he's stacked on 3 layers of experimental software. Nvidia on Wayland is WIP, HDR on Wayland is WIP and NVK is work in progress, even VKD3D with NVK is experimental.
