Play EVE with Open Source driver and AMD Graphic card

Hi There,

it seems that it’s not really possible to play with linux and a nvidia card with open source driver (MESA). My EVE experience with my computer with nvidia graphic card is :

11 fps with debian 10 + mesa (18) open source driver and the lowest graphic settings in 1920X1080
25 fps with ubuntu 19 + nvidia proprietary and the highest graphic settings in 2560X1440

(9 years old computer but a good one and ssd)

But AMD open source driver mesa seems to works fine, as well as the proprietary driver :

So I would like to have feedback from EVE players with open source driver and AMD graphic card : which AMD cards give the best result ? I have found a second hand RADEON RX 580 at the corner of the street which wait for me (and the end of the confinement).

Just a side note: to my observation the most limiting factor on old computers is the CPU. Switching down EVE from DX11 to DX9 raises frame rate on my computer easily by factor two and more.

Hello,

I used EVE on Ubuntu 18.04 with with HWE and mesa upgrades:

Working fine, 60 fps (monitor limit).
