Only with Unreal Engine games, it seems. That includes Direct X 12 implementations in Unreal Engine 4 games:
The Ascent runs at 2 fps on the main menu, where it basically just renders one dude standing on a roof with a completely red background. It’ll also freeze.
Outer Worlds Spacer’s Choice Edition also runs at 2 - 5 fps in menus, has low framerate in-game, and crashes every 5 to 10 minutes.
I have Conan Exiles. Not DX12, but still UE4. Should probably give that a try and see how it goes…
Oblivion Remastered refuses to launch. Says my system doesn’t support DX12.
Nightingale also refuses to launch. Same error.
A couple of indie games still in development switched from UE4 to UE5 and now crash immediately after trying to launch.
Works just fine on everything else. My card is the Arc A770:
Can get a reasonably stable 40 fps with ultra settings (including ray tracing) in Cyberpunk 2077.
Helldivers 2 is great. Had to use launch commands to force DX11 at first, but after a few numbered updates to MESA that’s no longer a problem.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is great. Avoid the option to launch the game with Vulkan, though. It is really badly implemented and causes very obvious graphical glitches all the time.
I get a stable 50 fps on KCD 1 on ultra. Though I have only played it for three hours recently (started a new game).
Very smooth in Sins of a Solar Empire 2, except for truly massive fights (thanks to the large VRAM size my card actually does a better job at rendering large battles than some of my friends with more powerful cards).
For none game related stuff:
Great performance in Blender 3D, though it’s finnacky to set up and I think I still didn’t do it right (can’t get One API to work), but despite that it still performs fast in cycles.
Can’t run the game because Unreal Engine runs like crap on Arc GPUs… Or in this case, not at all. :/
I’ll have to wait till MESA 25.1 drops later next month to see if it fixes my issues.
Besides that, from the few gameplay videos I’ve seen; I don’t like the Argonians. From the reveal video the developers said they’re using the same lip-sync animations for all races/species, and it’s very easy to tell that the large, blunt faces Argonians have in the remaster are a design decision for this. It still doesn’t look right either because the teeth inside their mouths are animated with the lips.
Other than the Argonians, however, the game looks great. Just wish I could play it. This was my first Bethesda game, and the first open world game of its kind I played.
Likewise, but I seem to be having major issues with Unreal Engine games in general. UE5 games tend to complain about lack of DX12, and UE4 games run very poorly.
Meanwhile I’m getting pretty good performance on Cyberpunk 2077 with nearly all the settings maxed out.
There are also resources on emulation. Generally speaking, if it’s about console hacking, rom hacking, custom roms, homebrew, and general technical stuff, GBATemp is the place for it.
A lot of people that develop CFWs, emulators, or homebrew hang out on that forum.
However, be advised; the only reason why that forum is even alive after all these decades is because they’re not allowed to directly link to pirated software.
But besides that; are there any good PC kart racers?
(Emphasis on “good”, because I already know about Super Tux Kart, used to play it a lot more than 10 years ago, but today it feels very… Clunky and dated).
