Real gamer here (well I play games for fun, I would say that makes me real).
I use FOSS AMD drivers, the default sound system for Ubuntu (I presume it's pulse) and the compositing gnome shell desktop environment.
I am able to play Valve's ported games quite smoothly and enjoyably, Even things like alt-tabbing out work flawlessly.
- slacka 13y agoYes, for causal gaming and general system usage, the open source drivers are usable. But, I play competitively in a clan and take gaming seriously. None of my clan members or gaming buddies would ever sacrifice 10-50% FPS and put up with the micro-stuttering with the open source drivers. I regularly install the gallium3D drivers to see how they are progressing. The current visual glitches and performance hit is unacceptable to me.
