1440p is the sweet spot for high end machines right now. .

yup, running a 1440p screen and the overall hit on the GPU wasn't the 75% more of the pixels you get.

That said, 1080p is still easier for devs sadly. Some recent games ( unity ) dont even still offer 1440p and SteamOS is firmly fixed @ 1080p for the UI & for Games at the moment.. so i wouldn't be using SteamOS @ 1440p down to scaling quality

makes me wonder if i should get a 1080p flat screen or a 4k one down to higher input lag on scaling and poor 4k UI / game support :|

I 4k downscale to 1080p @ 120hz. Of course it works great on 43". 4k below 30" is not for me. 96-110 PPI is the sweet spot.

Looking back I think a 40" might have been a better size for 4k. 1:1 scaling is important to me.

I must be one of the few who wanted to like the selection more but is having a hard time. I guess Trine 3 is a good item to pickup, maybe the hidden items will be better hopefully :\

What do people love about sunless sea so much anyways? Seems slow and riven/mistish mixed with a dialog adventure - am i missing something.

Quoting: SkullyActually GLFW sux as hard as GFWL. Seen quite a few games suffer problems from using that instead of SDL2.

Care to explain why it "sux"? Considering all GLFW does is open a window and handle a little bit of input, there's not a whole lot that can go wrong with it of note. For what it covers, SDL2 and GLFW are quite comparable.

I err on the side of caution, for example to the inexperienced someone may compare GIMP and Photoshop and they would be right to do so at mere face value, however the differences are infinitesimal.

Sure SDL2 and GLFW are both game libraries, It's been a while since I programmed with SDL however my experience with it felt that it lacked the modularity that I hoped it would have and that events had to be triggered in a much more procedural way than alternatives.

Apples and Pears here. I too hope OP elaborates more from his experience.

AMD vs nVidia you say? I'll speak up and say that as a nVidia 9xx user I would love nothing more than buying a AMD 390 and using the open source drivers in my future.

We'll see though, cuz the juice has to be worth the squeeze. My love of rooting for the underdog isn't enough for me to shell out 400-600$ for what could be a medeocre or disappointing gaming experience.

So I'm thinking Plasma 5/+ on Vulkan, my eyebrows raise.

69 cents? That's like 1 or half a round at the arcade.

Take my money, if it's terrible meh. If they make a new one on Linux w00t. If it's sweet awesome. It's a 69 cents gamble.

Quoting: fishxzthe nvidia driver doesnt seem to run on newer kernels: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=5501095#post5501095 [External Link]

same problem for me and even with the workaround the xserver keeps crashing after few seconds.

It kind of makes you wonder what Nvidia is running in their internal tests. It would be nice if they shared that kind of information. Anyway, it's great to see them making progress.

SteamOS / Debian?

Works great on i7 6xxx GTX 970 even with several hundred workshop items & mods installed.

Super awesome game. Workshop content is out of this world
