And it's all down to an improved NTsync driver.

24-678% uplift sounds incredible for CPU-bound games.

Wondered if you typo'd the 678 until I read the article - damn! That's a heck of a range!

If I'm not mistaken that uplift was in DiRT 3 running on pure Wine. If you run this game with Proton, which uses Fsync instead, you'll have high FPS as well, without the 6.14 kernel.
