This is cool, but likely overkill for most people. For pure gaming, 8 cores is more than enough. I recently upgraded to a 9800x3D and man, what a beast! I've yet to max it out even with my most demanding and largest zoo builds. Even the 7700x or 7800x3D would probably been fine for most people, unless you're doing heavy productivity work. AMD themselves said that the double cache is unlikely to improve gaming performance.

Quoting: KoopaThis specs dont make sense... technically the 7900XT is faster than the 9070XT!

Faster in raster yes, but in RT the 9070 is faster

Will you be picking it up?

You bet! I have over 300 hours in Forza 4+5 combined. And now Steam OS (Linux) support confirmed?! Instant buy.

Quoting: Claude_LibSadly, it also appears to break network completely, even connecting a smartphone over USB in tethering mode doesn't seem to work. Admittedly, I'm running it on a desktop, so nothing was guaranteed to work in the first place, but it's still sad. I created an issue on GitHub, hopefully they'll fix it.

hate to break it to you, but SteamOS isn't meant for your desktop, it's a niche console OS that only supports 2 devices right now. Anything outside of that, there are far better alternatives like Bazzite

Finally, SteamOS on Wayland, this is great news. Took you long enough, Valve. 😝

It's almost like this container tech is here to stay, hehe 😆 This is great news and should hopefully make it easier for Valve to fix bugs in the client when there is more reproducibility across the garganguan Linux landscape.

and completely deserved too. Nvidia itself has become a meme

This time Nvidia went too far with the Machine Learning. Previously we had artifacts now we have straight up hallucinations

Sigh… a fix for the Witcher 3 launcher that nobody uses, but where's the fix for Witcher 3 DX12 freezing constantly?

But I think we can do better with a native solution.

I hard disagree with this statement. Pretty much all existing Linux games suffer from various problems ranging from complete inplayability over control and gameplay/visual issues as well as crashes. Running games over Proton is vastly preferable to Native most of the time because the Windows API is much more stable than the Linux API. I myself have had so many issues with native ports that the Proton versions never have, that I've given up on them completely

This would be great if the Steam Deck system wasn't so terribly inconsistent. I frequently find games that are listed as 'Unsupported' but that run fine, and 'Verified' games with severe performance issues, such as Horizon Zero Dawn (the OG has tons of stuttering). And as for the Remaster, it's Verified despite having the exact same engine as Forbidden West (Unsupported due to 'bad performance') and performing identically.... yea I already gave up trying to make sense of this mess
