Good timing, just as I bought a rx6600xt a couple of weeks ago for 430€. It was difficult to keep waiting for upgrading my old gf660.
Unless the "new" cards are under the price that I paid, I don't care.
I't time to wait 5-10 years more unless they put a reasonable price. It's already 2x the price that I think its right for what we get.

Some issues exist though, like
What the heck is %3402 GPU usage?!
A very eficient GPU.
Probably it's the MB of vram or 3402/100000 usage -> 3.4%.

This reminds me of sim city 2000, if it gets half as good, it's worth playing.

Good news. I'm waitting for running it on Linux. The windows version has some problems with the second screen. Hope also that we will see it as opensource soon.

Quoting: CsokisI don't understand why they still use OpenGL instead of Vulkan?! Why? :unsure:
Simply Opengl it's easy to implement, vulkan has more control but it's much difficult to implement, and it will have little difference on that game. It's not worth it.

Introversion classic Darwinia gets remastered with better Steam Deck support

What? "A forgoten classic"? It's an icon for me. I'ts not forgotten. It's one of the first (non-open source) games that I played on linux, at the time that there weren't many. It was like magic, a really good 3d game running on linux.

Yes, the Steam Deck will eventually get Ray Tracing, once the AMD GPU driver matures

Just an hour ago I was looking for trying quake 2RTX with my new rx6600xt that arrived yesterday.:smile:
I just tried and it has 2 brown big polygons and 0.5fps. Hope it improves

Heroes of Might and Magic II recreation 'fheroes2' gets improved language support

That makes me think that someone has to make the catalan translation (or other not suported languages).
This only can be made with opensource engines, as most companies doesn't care about a minor language.
I would make it myselfe but I have no time now.

The Steam Deck hit me over the head with feelings of nostalgia

Quoting: constAs Liam said, you basically have 5 decades of gaming available to you. Anytime, anywhere.
5 Decades of gaming? How about dos games? Or games with heavy use of keyboard?
I supose you have a virtual keyboard, but I don't think it's ideal.
It seems that the keys get mapped. Controller->keyboard, and then you can configure per game, but it seems limiting for some games.

Probably with 1000 laser printers on the cups server:grin:. But it would be a delay:cry:
