Yeah good point, I forgot about the Steamdeck. So AMD themselves will probably make an effort to get it working then.
FSR2 works well on Linux, I think FSR3 will be supported fairly soon after Windows, thanks to the mesa driver.
Does it even require driver support? I was under the impression that FSR 2 only required the game to support it and provide inputs.
Inputs to the driver probably.
I certainly hope so, it being one of the things that would actually improve the viability of Linux as a viable platform for gaming big time.
But seeing how we are just gonna see freesync support with kernel 6.5, I think definitely will take a long time.
Eh? Pretty sure freesync was already a thing before kernel 6.5.
Well Freesync is probably a bit more complicated to implement than FSR 3 considering the scope, Freesync works in-games and in the desktop so I imagine the display server and compositor need to support it. To me FSR 3 seems nothing more than a driver update and a new version of wine / proton.
How's that different than VRR or TearFree which we already have?
I'm confused by this as well.
Kernel 6.5 is gonna have freesync? Pog
