What does glxinfo | grep -iE '(vendor|device)'
output? Will tell you if your graphics card is being detected. Also could you share a linux hardware probe? That will tell us exactly what linux is detecting and might help.
Also, is that the only game you're playing? Do other games have worse performance than in windows?
Server glx: SGI
Client glx: Mesa Project and SGI
Device: Amd Radeon Graphics (radeonsi, rapheal_mendocino, LLVM 16.0.6, DRM 3.57, 6.7.5-arch1-1) (0x1506)
Open GL: AMD
That looks fine to me 🤔 So is Doom the only game you're having trouble with? And how are you running it? If it's steam, have you tried running it with OpenGL or another Proton version?
Disable VSync
I don't have experience with doom, but I'm pretty sure I got big performance improvements in DRG in particular going from GNOME to KDE Plasma as my desktop environment.
I don't know if this will help, but it's a reminder that unexpected things can influence your performance.
I'd like to be able to say it'll work, I've been gaming on Linux for years and just finished Doom Eternal at 5120x1440 at 120fps
But I have the previous generation top end cpu and gpu, 16 core something and a 5900xt iirc, so we can't quite compare
One thing I did notice though is that your cpu seems weirdly overloaded? Or at least, the windows values are very different from the Linux ones? Are you dual booting? Or did you maybe reset something in the bios whilst switching?
Just wondering if you might be looking in the wrong place
Is that cpu one of those with an embedded gpu? That you're maybe running the wrong hardware?
Nm, looked it up, it's a mobile cpu, no idea unfortunately
