AMD’s Radeon Anti-Lag 2 now runs on Linux, and better than on Windows in select titles.<\/p>\n

The low_latency_layer project from Korthos Software allows AMD Anti-Lag 2 and Nvidia Reflex to be used on any GPU, effectively making both technologies hardware-agnostic for Linux users.<\/p>\n

Big news for Linux gamers, especially eSports players: Nvidia Reflex 2 and AMD Anti-Lag 2 can now be used in a hardware-agnostic manner, meaning that these proprietary technologies can now be used on GPUs from opposing vendors, including Intel GPUs, thanks to Korthos Software’s low_latency_layer. Even better, some benchmarks reflect these technologies actually working better\u00a0than the native Windows versions, taking a pain point of Linux gaming and turning it into a genuine strength. Setting it up does require some basic knowledge of how to use a Linux terminal, including installing packages and making a build directory, but the instructions on Korthos’ GitHub page for the project should make that process a simple matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s a truly impressive feat from Korthos Software\u2014or specifically, Nicolas James, the only known developer of low_latency_layer. In a statement made to Phoronix, Nicolas James stated that the project was started earlier this year “because I was frustrated with the state of Anti-Lag 2 on Linux. If you’re not aware, the Mesa AL2 implementation had some issues with stability and was disabled by default. On top of this, I tested the latency improvement of the Mesa implementation and found that it wasn’t doing as much as the proprietary version on Windows. I like my FPS games and my AMD machine but I love Linux, and it seemed like they weren’t compatible.”\n<\/p>\n

He continues, “After AL2 was working, I noticed there was nothing stopping a similar implementation of the Nvidia equivalent […] They are just device extensions that any Vulkan layer can intercept….<\/p>\n
