I've been using Vulkan in Linux with an AMD card. Seems mostly fine except the occasional black boxes during cut scenes (about 15% of the edge of the screen). I haven't tried DX11 yet.
I'm also in Vulkan on Linux with an AMD card. I don't get those black boxes.
The main menu has terrible framerate, but everywhere else is acceptable through Proton (45-50). DX11 has great framerate on the main menu, but like 8-10 FPS ingame (my Windows partition can hold a steady 60).
I have those strange black boxes as well (vulkan, nobara linux and amd) but when I tried DX11 today it doesnt show them anymore.
In Linux doesn't DX calls get converted to Vulkan calls?
Yes which is why I chose Vulkan over DX11. But depending on the Vulkan implementation for a specific game, sometimes converting DX to Vulkan might function better.
I'm on Linux with AMD, but Vulkan is a crashy mess for me. Can't keep the thing running more than a few minutes. It's fine on DX11 (a few stutters here and there, but hasn't crashed).
Dang, I've only had one crash.
