    But since AMD stopped optimizing their drivers for specific games, does that not apply to linux too?

      I don’t know, but I do know that many games perform even better on Linux these days.

      As a software engineer, I will tell you that to put game-specific optimizations in drivers seems like a horrifying practice that should never have become commonplace, and probably leads to piles of hacks and unmanageable complexity. I have doubts as to whether Mesa and/or the Linux kernel would accept such a thing in open-source drivers.

      In the long run, we’re probably better off with clean, maintainable code. I’d rather have that than a few extra FPS any day.

        Yea that’s true, it’s probably a mess to optimize for individual games. Depends how much of an impact it makes to have those optimiziations I guess.
