Just for anyone who's been interested, I can finally games now with an AMD Gpu using drm-61-kmod (stable/14). Cpu 5700X Gpu 6700XT.
Previously, I only tested gaming occasionally, and games would crash if they ran at all, while only managing what felt like 20fps or less. I usually use windows or console, so didn't bother much, but this was a big improvement and am interested now.
I barely know anything about wine (just learned what prefixes are), so my first attempts were using plain ol' pkgs like wine-proton or wine v9 and following the first guide I came across, so with this method, Steam didn't run after a successful install, and guildwars 2 run fine, but at 120ish fps. (later got 240-250fps using Mizuta). Probably comes down to me not knowing how to set things up properly. I stuck with Mizuta and some games work, some don't; maybe the aforementioned wine versions would fix some issues if I knew what I was doing. So it's not perfect but much improved. Here's some examples.
What ran -
Guild wars 2 - excellent, up there with windows performance. windows pinned at 250fps, here it's just a few fps behind.
[Steam games] -
Cyberpunk 2077 - very good, Redlauncher crashes but games still runs.
Sims4 + mods - Sometime doesn't launch, other times it runs and performs very well. EA launcher crashes often and sometimes I need to logout/in or reboot till the game finally decides to run.
Torchlight 3 - very good for little time spent playing.
Unreal Tournament 3 - very good, just me that sucks.
a few other small indie games run very well.
What didn't work -
Dota2 - no luck, no show
Grounded - some crash report shows up.
Valheim - gets to main menu, can select character and click start but gets stuck when actually loading into game. (both vulkan and other option)
