Request to review calculated rating for Doom Eternal

Open tuxayo opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

I'm not sure to have understood the rating system well enough to have a valuable opinion.

Can you confirm that the gold rating is consistent with the reports?

Doom Eternal works for a lot of people at the expense of

  • using a custom proton build
  • using run flags

For a sizable number of others:

  • can't run with ACO
  • can't run with HDR
  • huge performance issues

More info: huge issue thread in Proton's repo: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3654

At the same time, gold might make sense or it's too positive.

So it don't know, which result should make more sense, your call to confirm :)

Any, still way better than the old system, thanks for your work.

a new rating summary is under development that will give distinct ratings for tinker vs non-tinker. unfortunately for now, doom eternal represents an obvious example of why the current medal system is unhelpful

Keep in mind that for the moment AMD users have great performance with specific driver providers/proton builds, while nvidia users are doomed to use system memory and can not use too much VRAM until nvidia patches it.

I would imagine it being useful to show different scores for different graphics card vendors if it's the case.

Edit 2020-04-02: This has been fixed in the latest driver, coming soon(tm) to your repos, thanks @monban

@CatalinPuscoci, This has been corrected as of the latest nVidia drivers

Fixes:

Added a workaround for Linux Steam Play title DOOM Eternal, which overrides application requested memory locations, to ensure performance-critical resources be placed in video memory [Linux]
