Quoting: TheRiddickAllot of people think RTX and NGX is nonsense-ware but a rude awakening is going to hit them hard in 2021 and 2022! (maybe even late 2020).

I never said RTX won't become mainstream, but if it requires à 450$+ GPU, I'm bailing out. For me, flashy graphics is a nice to have, but should not be a necessity. Many AAA studios bet on the biggest and greatest graphics, but put much less effort in content and gameplay. I'll get into RTX, when it will be available for entry level gaming GPU, not before that. That's probably why AMD said it wasn't ready for Prime time and it's not all games that will use it, not for a couple of years still.

BTW...

On AMD's RTX version (Radeon Rays):

Obviously, performances are still to be proven, but RTX is on the way to RDNA2 and if it's still to be believed:

"In November 2018, David Wang, AMD’s senior vice president of engineering at the Radeon Technologies Group, told 4Gamer, “Utilization of ray tracing games will not proceed unless we can offer ray tracing in all product ranges from low end to high end.”"

... We might end up with a Radeon Rays RDNA 2 sub 300$ AMD GPU before long.

In the meanwhile, believe me, I'll turn off RTX without a second tought, if it's possible (if it ever shows up on non supported gpus).

Quoting: MohandevirPlagman was quite clear that they were seriously considering an alternative to Debian. SteamOS 2.0 is based on Debian 8, which is now eol and SteamOS 3.0 (Debian 9) was never released:

Also, I thought they had a beta on 9 or 10?

The answer is in my initial comment.

Personnally, I would like to see something similar happen to the likes of FreeCAD or any other CAD software...

Quoting: The_Aquabat

Quoting: Duke Takeshisince I guess a lot of gamers will upgrade their PCs for Cyberpunk 2077

requirements on Cyberpunk 2077 are pure speculation of gaming news sites, if the game will run on PS 4, not sure what they are basing those guesses on. Maybe because Witcher 3 at it's release was a very demanding game? not sure it will be the same this time, now games tend to be more flexible allowing you to downgrade the details to be able to run on not so powerful hardware.
PS4 will still be very relevant because now that PS5 is coming the trend is that PS4 will be very cheap, and when that happens probably it will be the most owned platform on the world.

PC requirements --> 4k, RTX.

They tend to forget that there is a world beside that and they think you are "unworthy" if you don't abide by those guidelines. :wink:

1080p, no RTX. That's my target. If the game supports this (which should be the case), I expect the requirements will be much lower... Just my two cents.

Quoting: Xpander

Quoting: MohandevirJust Cause 4 and Rage 2.

Rage 2 seems impossible to play... The game keeps on crashing every 15mins or so, no natter what I try in the launch options or in the graphic settings. Not really enjoyable, even tough I like the game.

turn off async compute from the config files.
~/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/548570/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Saved Games/id Software/Rage 2/settings.ini

zero crashes like that

You mean put "DisableAsyncCompute=1"?

Already tried it, same problem... I will give it another shot now that I'm on GamerOS... Who knows? Maybe...

Thanks anyway.

Like in "Beep! OS"? Or in "Bee Positive OS"? or in "Biiig Picture OS"?

Nevermind! :grin:

Sériously, finding a name for that OS, that is not SteamOS, considering what it does, is not an easy task, if you want a significant name. It does some retro gaming, else it is dedicated to Steam...

Hmmm . . . something kind of like SteamOS . . . I know!!!
I give you: VaporOS! :tongue:

Or, since GamerOS is bulding some Steam... VigorOS? :wink:

Seems quite indicative to me:
"I wouldn't expect much more movement on Debian-based Brewmaster at this point, however."
