That looks rather interesting, squad/battlefield/isonzo mixed. Might just be the Battlefield experience of old that battlefield lost it recent iterations!

Going to buy that now to show support.

AMD FSR 3.1 announced with Vulkan support, upscaling quality improvements

Instead of spending god knows how much on dlss/fsr spend it on better hardware

Problem is that the better hardware doesn't always exist.

Technology doesn't always advance in sync. Monitors first get higher resolution or refresh rate and then GPU:s need to catch up. Also GPU features like raytracing rise demands for the GPU. Dropping resolution gets the framerate back to acceptable level, but FRS and DLSS offer a good compromise.


Not really anything to do with monitors.
What I am meaning is either better hardware per tier or find ways of making the hardware more affordable at a given tier rather than £1000 odd for a 80 class card which is just **** ridiculous.
I have the money for a 4090 but be damned if I'm feeding the greed of these companies!

The HDMI Forum rejected AMD's open source HDMI 2.1 implementation

Thing is, If all the major TV maufacures + AV OEMs turned round and said "From next year all equipment will drop HDMI in favour of Display port" the HDMI license ect would all of a sudden become next to nothing if not free!

Manjaro and Slimbook team up for the Slimbook Hero Linux gaming laptop

Quoting: NathanaelKStottlemyerAlso, I don't want to start a flame war, but isn't Manjaro a bad operating system? I heard multiple Linux people say that it's not good.

It gets a bad rap tbh, Mainly because people enable the AUR and don't take notice of what they are installing or more importantly what deps it will install.


I've run it for a few years now with no issues.

They definitely seem to have misread the mood r.e. Linux gamers hardware and distro choices!

It'll probably ship with X11 GNOME too.

Indeed!
Not even remotely interested in that hardware config, Looked to see if they did others but nope!
