KVNU 6 Posted November 17, 2020 Report post Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) I''ve been testing the new update since a few hours, and it's really been a huge change from the previous major version. Vulkan support is a killer feature. However, when cross-referencing with the Windows build, I've noticed that DLSS isn't supported on Linux (yet?) - on Windows I am able to choose an option for DLSS from "Performance" to "Quality". Since I am running somewhat of an odd resolution at 3400x1440, I've been wondering if, on Linux, there may be some DLSS configuration options for, say, 1920x1080 or similarly more conventional resolutions. Or might I be missing some module to enable support? I am running a fairly standard setup using proprietary driver version 455.38, which should - in theory - have DLSS 2.0 support. If anyone has some info to share on this I'd much appreciate it! Also, should enabling DLSS support for Linux be passed as a suggestion to the devs? Since newer Nvidia drivers support it even on Linux, I feel this might be worth a shot. system info: Spoiler System: Host: kor Kernel: 5.8.0-7630-generic x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: N/A Distro: Pop!_OS 20.10 Machine: Type: Desktop Mobo: ASUSTeK model: PRIME X470-PRO v: Rev X.0x serial: UEFI: American Megatrends v: 4011 date: 04/19/2018 CPU: Info: 8-Core model: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X bits: 64 type: MT MCP L2 cache: 4096 KiB Speed: 2122 MHz min/max: 2200/4000 MHz Core speeds (MHz): 1: 2130 2: 2109 3: 1960 4: 2119 5: 2240 6: 2339 7: 2234 8: 2852 9: 2323 10: 3148 11: 2045 12: 2085 13: 2456 14: 3142 15: 1999 16: 1913 Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA TU104 [GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER] driver: nvidia v: 455.38 Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.9 driver: nvidia unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,nouveau,vesa resolution: 3440x1440 OpenGL: renderer: GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 455.38 Audio: Device-1: NVIDIA TU104 HD Audio driver: snd_hda_intel Device-2: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Family 17h HD Audio driver: snd_hda_intel Device-3: Sennheiser GSX 1000 Main Audio type: USB driver: hid-generic,snd-usb-audio,usbhid Sound Server: ALSA v: k5.8.0-7630-generic Network: Device-1: Intel I211 Gigabit Network driver: igb IF: enp7s0 state: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full mac: 4c:ed:fb:72:e8:30 Drives: Local Storage: total: 5.03 TiB used: 185.36 GiB (3.6%) ID-1: /dev/nvme0n1 vendor: Samsung model: SSD 970 PRO 1TB size: 953.87 GiB ID-2: /dev/nvme1n1 vendor: Samsung model: SSD 970 EVO 500GB size: 465.76 GiB ID-3: /dev/sda vendor: Seagate model: ST4000DM004-2CV104 size: 3.64 TiB Partition: ID-1: / size: 929.52 GiB used: 182.53 GiB (19.6%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/dm-1 Swap: ID-1: swap-1 type: partition size: 4.00 GiB used: 0 KiB (0.0%) dev: /dev/dm-2 Sensors: System Temperatures: cpu: 40.8 C mobo: N/A gpu: nvidia temp: 44 C Fan Speeds (RPM): N/A gpu: nvidia fan: 0% Info: Processes: 387 Uptime: 2m Memory: 15.63 GiB used: 2.02 GiB (12.9%) Shell: Zsh inxi: 3.1.07 Edited November 17, 2020 by KVNU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[email protected] 166 Posted November 17, 2020 Report post Posted November 17, 2020 No it is turned off, but that is no surprise to me. I thought it was something they made special for Microsoft anyway. Where they sample 8k res at Nvidia's central computer and send them to us for improved graphics since I am at 4k. The box is there i just can not select it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D15EA5E 25 Posted November 18, 2020 Report post Posted November 18, 2020 Linux players have always been treated like second-class citizens. Stuck on OpenGL 1.3 for years because a segment of the gaming population played the game on a potato, don't be surprised if we don't get DLSS any time soon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D15EA5E 25 Posted November 19, 2020 Report post Posted November 19, 2020 DLSS is still disabled with 2.1.0.36 and the latest Nvidia 455.45.01 drivers. clog.zip 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

apemax 387 Posted November 26, 2020 Report post Posted November 26, 2020 Hello @Xakep_SDK, I know the Linux Nvidia driver supports DLSS but do you know of where it actually states the Linux driver has DLSS 2.0 support? I've had a quite look myself but cannot find anywhere where it states it. I can report this if someone can point me to where it's stated DLSS 2.0 is support in the Linux driver.

The_Riddick 1,039 Posted November 26, 2020 Report post Posted November 26, 2020 Looks like something that might need to be asked to the developers in their dev forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

apemax 387 Posted December 2, 2020 Report post Posted December 2, 2020 @Xakep_SDK, Yes, However is there anywhere where it states the Linux driver supports DLSS 2.0 specifically? You would assume it would support DLSS 2.0 as it's all DLSS but to would be nice to solid evidence for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WreckingAres283 237 Posted December 2, 2020 Report post Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) DLSS is NVIDIA RTX-2000 / 3000 exclusive, u cant use it without a RTX-Card, but it should work since the Patch is out Edited December 2, 2020 by WreckingAres283 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Riddick 1,039 Posted December 2, 2020 Report post Posted December 2, 2020 I'd imagine a 2060 would be able to run this game at 4k 60fps without DLSS. But its useful for 8k gaming I guess (well fake 8k). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have asked nvidia developer https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/dlss-support-on-linux/120552/20 Quote The driver supports DLSS and NGX Features via the NGX component starting with release series 450. However DLSS and NGX Feature support may differ between versions as these aren’t driver components, so it’s best to check in support audiences for those specific components. With that in mind having worked on the implementation I know that: DLSS has support for Linux with DLSS 2.0 and above. DLSS versions prior to 2.0 are not supported on Linux.

apemax 387 Posted December 3, 2020 Report post Posted December 3, 2020 @Xakep_SDK, Thank you, That answers that one then, Do you have a 20 series or newer card? If so could you please post your full system information, A screenshot of the DLSS option in game with the mouse over popup showing and a .clog file from that session so I can forward this?
