This Patch Boosts Linux Gaming Performance By 50%+ (And other programs) - Lemmy.ca

article from February, anybody got benchmarks? pretty sure this is long since merged and working iirc

Only thing I can find is this OS News article saying it should be in the 6.10 kernel

I can not find any confirmation that it is.

Linux 6.10 to merge NTSYNC driver for emulating Windows NT synchronization primitives – OSnews

That quote actually links to a really good article: www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.10-Merging-NTSYNC
Linux 6.10 To Merge NTSYNC Driver For Emulating Windows NT Synchronization Primitives

Going through my usual scanning of all the '-next' Git subsystem branches of new code set to be introduced for the next Linux kernel merge window, a very notable addition was just queued up..

@Technus @pbjamm This sounds sooo good 😊.
#gamingonlinux has come a long way and still keeps improving.
oh that makes more sense, for some reason I thought it was in 6.9 already
It’s actually being pushed as “broken” for 6.10 but should hopefully be completely available in 6.11.
It is merged in 6.10 which is about to be released on Sunday (14 July)

If you had read it you’d have answers to your questions.

They are trying to merge it in 6.11 bit has to go through Greg and Torvalds himself. The benchmarks, once again, speed-reader, are on the article.

No need to be rude.

It seems to me that Mactan was hoping for some independent recent benchmarks.

Presumably they wanted something a bit more thorough and clear than a table of numbers with no information besides:

These tests were done on various hardware running games, both old and new, with and without the new driver being active.

It’s not merged, but the benchmarks are against upstream wine. Proton has hacks (fsync) that have almost identical performance uplift but were not suited to upstreaming.

So basically this will improve “correctness” versus current Proton, not performance. Should fix some bugs and improve compatibility.

Versus stock wine, it’s a huge perf uplift though.
