Quoting: F.UltraThat I think we all can agree, not sure I follow in Tim:s reasoning that it's up to Valve to change the cut so Apple might be forced to follow (why they now would be forced, I mean there is no law on what cut you can take and Apple have full monopoly on the iPhone app market).

Quoting: F.UltraAlso not sure how Valve who gets 30% could make more money than the devs that gets the remaining 70% as he claims (and even if we include the typical publisher who:s average cut is 10%-20%, the devs should still get > 30%).

Quoting: EhvisIt also demonstrates that throwing lots of cash at it is not enough.

Quoting: PrettymuchnothingWay too optimistic, especially for a handheld console that costs up to 649 dollars. Sales will already be fairly limited due to the relatively high price, especially for the oled models.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualObligatory "it's still not available in Australia" comment. Maybe a Steam Deck 2?

Quoting: Jarmerahhh so experimental is on the 9.x branch?

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualMy understanding is that AMD and Intel's drivers implement implicit sync but NVIDIA doesn't want to implement that; they want explicit sync because implicit sync is imperfect, but I'd take imperfection over the flickerfest. I haven't looked into it at all; that's just what I've heard. Some cursory reading suggests this is accurate.

Quoting: CollaboraEach of those can be pretty bad by itself but when you put them together the result is that, in practice, using implicit synchronization in Vulkan would completely serialize all work and kill your multi-queue parallelism. So we shut it off if the kernel driver allows it.

If we're turning off implicit synchronization, how do we synchronize with the window system? That's the real question, isn't it? There are a number of different strategies for this which have been employed by various drivers over the years and they all come down to some form of selective enabling of implicit synchronization. Also, they're all terrible and lead to over-synchronization somewhere.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWhy are we trying to make it happen now?
