Wow, what a great base line to start with for artists.

MS putting the squeeze on game stores on Windows, classic.

Love is unobtainium.

So happy to report that NVidia proprietary driver 495 finally works on Wayland with GBM in KDE 5.23. I had to hunt down over 100 patches, but it all seems to be working rather blissfully smooth:

It would be nice to see another 700MHz or so on that 9900K. May be an Ampere or Radeon 6000 GPU too, but wishes... this rig deserves it.

Now this I could upgrade from my 5.2GHz 9900K, get me some of that cache.

Linux will never replace windows for th simple reason that an open source OS will never have the proper backing to be as good of a consumer OS as windows. Aside from being occasionally used to push specific hardware from valve it's just not relevant to 99% of gamers. Linux may make some big strides, but it will never be on parity with windows in terms of gaming performance. People who hate windows enough to play a much more limited number of games may see a lot of improvements in Linux but that's a very small minority. As long as windows is even just ten percent better, that's enough to make it an easy choice for gamers. Linux would have to actually be better than windows for gamers to switch and that's just not going to happen.

Having to translate DirectX API calls already put it in 2-class, in terms of performance and functionality.  If enough people can put up with it or Windows continues to alienate its users, the wider adoption may eventually shift graphics over to Vulkan which would really boost Linux gaming, paving the way for native adoption.

For you, no. However from what I have read it seems situational, some have it and some do. I need to check if I am a victim lol.

Perhaps the leaks are per instance, so each additional instance multiplies the effect?

Well, I'd feel much better about that if I didn't still have USB issues 

Ow

Nice, even M$ forgets to free some allocated pointers.

Is 9 days of early access worth extra $30? Damn it!

You mean with the game right? 

Sure.

I used Twitch a very long time ago, so guess I will go change my password. It was mainly for something guild related in a game I was playing. 

 

I don't personally understand watching people play games for hours on end when you can just play a game yourself.

It's a chance to taste and interact before spending money.  

Is a justification for the leak really needed -- quite some keyboard warring going on there. Just need casual play to go back to skill-based, rather than rampant stream-incentivized cheating.

THIS IS THE WAY

Let's go.

All the overclockers have grown up. Everyone else has settled for TVB and PBO. Next, they will settle for nothing, literally.

Not sure China should be motivated to create the Dyson Swarm.  This sector of the galaxy could go dark forever, much like NK has.

Ermmm... no. It cannot run Crysis.

Lumberyard is a fork of the CryEngine, owned by Amazon.  Can't believe the game is already pushing hardware this hard on just DX11. Can't imagine what CPU's will be bricked when they go full-bore DX12 soon.

RIP, was wanting to replace 5600XT ITX

sounds reasonable to me

Love the understatement

We are so damn primitive. Everything is still measured in bits.

GabeN was crying about having to sell this at $399.  Let's save the drama for HL3, man.

The problem with extrapolating theoretical performance is that it excludes practical system bottlenecks, like the initial slow DDR5 performance that we'll get.  That and other issues inherent in new platforms.

Wonder if he would have said this on 5/7... they're all schemes to scam.  If they were just scams, they wouldn't be this successful or have such big sharks involved.

If they had a proper anti-cheat system, they can just generate new private encryption keys and it won't be a concern for ruining gameplay.  But if it's any half-assed security by obfuscation design, then they will likely need another 6-months to come up with another solution.
