this is like the one game my 3090 can’t quite handle to my satisfaction

Nvidia and Linux don't have the best history. Their driver are not open source, so Valve developers have no means to improve performance and fix bugs on a driver level.

Success stories of Linux gaming are usually about Radeon and Arc GPUs whose drivers are fully open source.

And Directx 12(VKD3D) as of writing this has issues on Nvidia

Thanks, these are the kind of nuggets I’m looking for.

Not that I blame the vulkan translation layer at all. It’s incredible it even works on Nvidia.
