Quoting: Luke_NukemAnyone curious about reverse prime - it works, but not well. The relevant topic is here in the Nvidia forums [External Link].
I'm not sure I even got what it's about. :)
Prime: Plug cable into Computer display output while using the dedicted GPU,
Reverse Prime: Plug cable into GPU output while using the graphics unit of the CPU
- is that it?

Quoting: furaxhornyxFor example, I have 2 monitors, one is 180Hz with Gsync, and the other is 75Hz, so technically I could play at 180Hz (max) with Gsync enabled, (like I did when I was using Windows), but under linux, I am capped at 75Hz with no Gsync...

So I am afraid that the answer to these question will be biased.
If I had such a setup, i'd disable the second monitor for gaming to get what I payed for.

The Steam Summer Sale 2020 is live with a Points Shop

Quoting: BigJLiam, is there a way to give you a referral credit if I buy any games?
AFAIK, there's no such thing for Steam. (Not specific for GoL, it didn't exist at all.)

Quoting: ShmerlCan you please add monitor refresh rate and usage of adaptive sync points? Those are directly gaming related and would be interesting to see, in addition to already existing resolution.
I thought of asking for Variable Refresh Rate / Adaptive Sync as well.
Still a fan of a special question per month that's interesting, but maybe not worth to be included in the survey, BTW.

Oryx Pro is the first System76 laptop with Coreboot, Open Controller Firmware and NVIDIA

While I'm all happy with Nvidia personally, "Coreboot, Open Controller Firmware and NVIDIA" sounds like a strange combination. Who's eager on having even their BIOS open (all fine with that, don't get me wrong) and still wants their GPU drivers closed?

Quoting: Liam DaweI agree I think we're long passed the point where the timing on Wine based questions make sense so they will be removed.

Edit: Wine/Steam Play questioning was removed. In future, we may look to introduce other questions about them but the previous questions didn't fit with the way this survey works and frankly they weren't even useful. Thanks for the feedback. This does streamline it a bit too for now :)
Just was going to ask. I really think it's useful to have something WINE/Proton related! I don't care for the difference, though. Like, are you buying Windows only games to play on Linux? Regularly, seldom, only whitelisted Proton, never-ever.

I wonder how many people think of updating their "when did you use ... last time" answer every now and then...

The itch.io Summer Sale 2020 is live

Wonder what the result of the huge bundle is. People got to know itch.io and they're selling more - or everybody using itch.io is so full of games for years to come that they don't sell anything anymore.
