I suppose that you still need the binary blobs to do anything and they are not providing.

Quoting: GuestOk, sounds cool but there is something i do not understand: Doesn't FF8 works with ePSXe ? And ePSXe has a Linux version. (But i confess i haven't used it in years)
Yes, and you can also play the windows version on wine.

Sadly, for me, it crashes every game I start for a while. I compile it from the git (on arch aur). I think they have some incompatibiltiy with some libraries, the prebuild one that can be downloaded from the web works for me.

Quoting: ShmerlI'd say, if there are no PCIe 4.0 GPUs coming, then there is no need to change the motherboard for Zen 2.

I have a geforce 660, its getting old for my ryzen. I am starting to look for a new graphic card, and I wanted to try an amd card (as it can run wayland and it has good performance in opensource drivers), but I cannot/want to pay that much for a graphic card. When can we have a decent priced with good performance on these days? I remember when every year the performance increased 20-25% with the same price, we don't see this any more.
As for the ryzen, I hope they have that performance that shown (with the same speed), if it's true, probably I will upgrade on ryzen 4/5.

It seems that it need a special, proprietary extensions for vulkan, to get the raytracing and the new compute cores.
They say that those extensions will come at the future (now you can only get it from directx on windows.
To get all of those raytracing efects (they only give you a partial raytracing), the games would have to be programmed specifically for those extensions. For the normal games, you will lose 1/3 or more of chip that won't be utilized.
It would be sold if they promised all those features with the current cores (or improved ones) and like amd implementing it with opencl (nvidia has probably one of the worse opencl compatibility of all).
And remember, linux support probably will be in half a year (or more), and it wont have wayland, or hi-res console support.

(And it's too expensive for me).

I have theme hospital, a great game, and very similar. If this is half as good it's worth buying.
