    That’s not my intention at all, in fact, I really welcome such contributions with precise examples, so thank you for providing one! Hardware is a good point, my GPU is a 6800XT which I bought right at release. Played all kinds of games but actually none if the ones you listed. Some working examples on my system:

    • World of Tanks, World of Warships
    • AC Valhalla
    • RDR2
    • Anno 1800
    • AoE2
    • Back4Blood
    • Control

    All of this on Arch Linux with a 5900X CPU. Hope the combination of our comments gives people a picture that it’s not black and white :)
