The AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT GPU has been announced and new Ryzen CPUs coming

Quoting: ShmerlNavi support by now (5.5-rc5) is mostly good, a few lingering issues have workarounds, and aren't major blockers.
I guess I've been lucky with my 5700 XT. I can't say I've hit any issues at all. In fact, I don't remember ever having such a smooth experience with a GPU on Linux, be it Nvidia, AMD or Intel. Then again, I've only had it for a couple of months. Seems like things were much rougher around launch.

Quoting: tuubiThat wasn't my point. AMD specifically mentioned 1440p gaming in some of their marketing materials. Also, I don't know what 144Hz has to do with the resolution.
Computational load increases with both resolution and framerate.
Thanks for stating the obvious, but I don't see how any of this is relevant. If a GPU can run modern games at 1440p at a consistent 60 FPS or above without sacrificing detail, it is usually advertised by hardware vendors as being suited for 1440p gaming. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion.

Resolution alone isn't the only factor.

"ultimate 1080p gaming experience"
* laughs in 1440p *

What are they thinking? 1080p is from 5 years ago, why infest in old stuff? Why no new cards for ultimate 2k or 4k experience? In this sector NVidia is still the way to go sadly
The 5700 (XT) they brought out months ago was aimed at 1440p.

And I'm happily using one for 1080p gaming BTW. :wink:

While my original Jolla from 2013 just seems to get snappier with every Sailfish OS update.

I like the style and the animations so much that I'm happy even if the gameplay isn't that great. And if it is great, then ...great! Going on my wishlist for now.

Guess all the people who call out linux gamers asking for linux support on the steam forums to stop using the inferior linux os and start using the - in every way - superior windows os were right after all,
No idea how you came to that conclusion.
I'm pretty sure dvd's comment was sarcastic.

Quoting: PatolaWhat CPUs specifically? Mine is a Ryzen 7 2700 and it (RE2 Remake) works perfectly.
It's only for Zen 2 (3xxx series). I have 3700X.

Fixed in Linux 5.4. (latest stable kernel)
RE2 still doesn't run on 5.4.2-1-MANJARO :(.
Might be a different bug then. I'd test, but I don't own a game that's affected.
