Street Fighter Performance in Linux (plus some great matches) - RX 6400
So, this is more of a showcase of the performance of this game on my pc when i play online, using Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge to get the best performance. (Plus these are awesome matches i had where i was able to defeat a player with a higher rank than mine twice)
DISCLAIMER: I am recording the screen with the same PC as i am playing, using CPU power to encode the video in real time (preset used was x264 veryfast at 12000kbps). In addition to that, I have a small form factor, ITX mini PC, so due to thermal contraints, i locked the CPU to 85 degrees maximum, so it may lose up to around 15% - 20% clock speed because of that. That does affect the performance a bit. Thus, most of the drops in framerate you see here are due to CPU spikes. Also, video quality may not be the best both due to video encoding and Youtube compression. Also, the fact that this is an online match causes some rollback, and sometimes some slowdown as well.
The game is running at native 1080p. As for the game settings, i changed the config.ini file to get optimized settings that could run better for my PC while still looking decent (remember to set it as read-only after editing. The contents of the file are:
