Linus Torvalds admits 'pure incompetence' for missing the new Linux 6.14 kernel deadline but all is forgiven as the update is great news for non-Windows gaming (www.pcgamer.com)

And it's all down to an improved NTsync driver.

24-678% uplift sounds incredible for CPU-bound games.

Wondered if you typo'd the 678 until I read the article - damn! That's a heck of a range!

If I'm not mistaken that uplift was in DiRT 3 running on pure Wine. If you run this game with Proton, which uses Fsync instead, you'll have high FPS as well, without the 6.14 kernel.

That's compared to default wine which doesn't have f-sync. Compared to proton there probably won't be much of a difference.
