Quoting: Ehvis

Quoting: Acheta

Quoting: StraToNUhm... Please correct me if I'm wrong, but in French, saying that "something isn't going anywhere" means it's a lost cause. This didn't sound good to me at all when I first read it. Can you please confirm?

In English it means that it is here to stay. i.e. it will keep on being worked on. Nothing more nothing less.

It can also mean that Linux isn't improving. Which could be a reason to not put effort into the Linux version. Don't think that was the intention though. The wonderful inaccuracies of human languages. :D

To be frank I took it to mean linux gaming isn't going anywhere

Quoting: Liam DaweIn English, it means it's quite literally not going anywhere. As in, Linux support is staying.

No it does not!

It needs context.

Quoting: Ehvis

Quoting: vipor29i can only imagine what the pc side of things will look like.the console is always lower res.

It's a 30 fps video. It also looks very artifacty to me. Honestly not impressed considering this is a demo video under completely controlled conditions.

May be you had streaming issue at the time? Looked fine for me @4k

As for the news, can't say am that interested TBH as Epics linux support toward their games has been shall I say rather lacking since the UT days.

Don't take a massive setup to get to them numbers depending how long he's been doing it.

Am only doing GPU whilst computer is on a few hours in a day and a few in evening and am 5th.

I would leave it on but just don't get the tasks to do.

Makes no sense, only time i've had corrupt work is if the GPU had been clocked, The prop OpenCL driver is the same even if you're using it with the open or stack.

Quoting: dubigrasuSo you guys still folding? I still do, but while the electric bill didn't deterred me, the heat might.
I fold with my RX 590 (which outputs very little heat and noise) but also with an old mining rig that I used 10 years ago, and that one is extremely noisy, hot, and consumes a lot of power.

Also, I had to install the proprietary driver for my RX 590 and I really don't like that one. For Vulkan gaming, is somewhat serviceable, but with OpenGL and overall, I have all kind of issues. Can't wait to get back to Mesa to be honest. The only thing that keeps me in the game (actual gaming and folding) is Stadia. I haven't basically touched Steam since.
But like I said, here is getting pretty hot, and while I'll feel bad about it, I'm afraid that sooner or later I will need to pull the plug.

You dont need the prop stack for it only AMD opencl bit, just remove the mesa opencl bit.

I am still doing it when comp is on still but get very little work/tasks unfortunately.

Quoting: mahagrI'm using MSI MEG Unify as I got 70€ cashback from it. I also wasn't going to buy 12-core CPU, but I was lucky enough to get super limited offer for €349 and I just couldn't let it pass. Seconds later it was all sold out.

I got a 3900x for 400 monthish after release, luck as they held their price for a good while to start with.

Never been fond of MSI to be frank, Got a 570 taichi my self, all worked out the box for me.
Does the MSI have an odd ethernet chip then ?

Quoting: mahagrSame here, my last AMD CPU was Athlon 64, Since then I've owned only Intel CPUs until now. I'm really glad that I bought R9 3900X -- except that I had to buy beefy after market cooler as I was getting crazy from the stock cooler ramping up and down all the time, even when browsing here on Gaming On Linux. Oh, and I had to wait for Ubuntu 20.04 to get wired networking to work in my motherboard as I was too lazy and thought that I can as well wait for few more weeks.

It is good to have competition and Intel CPU being on par with AMD (depending on what you do) but I would never buy latest Intel CPUs as for me efficiency is just as important as performance is.

What board you using ?
