KDE developer fixes major Linux eGPU performance bottleneck

Linux users running games on a secondary GPU may soon see much better performance. KDE developer Xaver Hugl has detailed a new Wayland protocol designed to stop data from being copied between GPUs when it is not required.

The change is aimed at laptops with integrated and dedicated graphics, as well as systems using external GPUs. Hugl demonstrated Cyberpunk 2077 jumping from 27 FPS to 50 FPS on an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT connected through an external GPU enclosure
