Decided to try it.. Hat in Time 1080p, Very High, VSync OFF. NVK is vulkan-nouveau-git gddf2ca4, on kernel 6.7.0-rc5-1-mainline. Blob is 545.29.06. 3995WX+RTX3090. Proton Experimental.

NVK: 210FPS Blob: 165FPS

Cpu-bound, but still :-)

A Hat in Time!!! That's awesome, I remember having crashes with the proprietary drivers. Looking forward to playing this wonderful game on NVK.

I've been saying nVidia will be in a good state on OSS drivers in one years time.

The progress being made has been really fast so far! It feels like they're on track for my estimate.
