Quoting: rustybroomhandle

Quoting: linuxjacquesThey need time to start thinking about when they are going to start working on the Linux beta?

Doesn't sound like it's coming any time soon. :-|

Well, if their Linux dev is still the same guy they hired prior to Albion Prelude, you don't have to worry, he's really good.

Is that Timmo ?

Wonder if this one works on AMD :whistle:

Both versions are working for me with Mesa, but only GL mode. In Vulkan mode the benchmark also works, but the screen is filled with red artifacts.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleIf it is Shadow of the Tomb Raider, they better reveal it soon because they are losing sales in droves to Steam Play.

This is why Wine/Steam play is a double edged sword.

Wine has it's place for older unsupported software but I get the feeling that devs will make their game work in steamplay and claim Linux support. Which in turn will hit devs like Ferral as they will be deemed unneeded.

I still wont by a game even if it does work in wine/steam play well, the old saying "No tux NO bucks!"

Quoting: pete910But I will answer, Having children is only relevant to ourselves, so yes in the eyes of the world/corporations it makes no difference what you or I, the guy down the street does . That is what I am getting at.

And that's where you were wrong in the first place and you were being a jackass to the person saying that those pre-req were steep by saying and I quote "in what world is a 970 a steep ask", if you don't want folks to give you a public buttslap maybe don't be so dismissive and diminishing to your fellow humans.

TL : DR if you don't want to be ripped appart all jaws out , maybe don't bite .

Wind ya neck in !
Please tell how was I wrong? The i5 which is stated as minimum even lost to AMD's bulldozer line in some benches so to say it's in the high end/super computer class is plain wrong.

How was I being "dismissive" ? You assumed I had not done my part financially to support my children as to fund my computers! In essence you was being a assumptive know all.

So to quote "stop being a dismissive and diminishing jackass"

I litteraly quoted precisely where you were being dismissive and have putten your own words in bold ...
So on the block list you go

Lol

Quoting: pete910The fact you have 4 kids is irrelevant to the question! Plus the fact I'm in the same boat, kids/mortgage ect.

Irrelevant huh ? I'm sure your kids and the social services will be glad to hear that them being fed and clean and having school furnitures doesn't have priority over new shiny rig ...

Don't even bother to answer.

But I will answer, Having children is only relevant to ourselves, so yes in the eyes of the world/corporations it makes no difference what you or I, the guy down the street does . That is what I am getting at.

Seen as you apparently know A my financial situation and B How my kids are looked after I will part educate you.
AS for my children, They are fine as I planed for them like a responsible parent should do!

My daughter Has just recently moved out and purchased her own property and doing well, My eldest son has just secured a apprenticeship on the local Power station and is currently aiming for a engineering degree. So I guess I must have made sure that the "social services" and "schooling" have been taken care of :whistle:

Now I will make assumptions on your life/choices.

May be you would have been better off researching and practicing birth control rather than spending on shiny shiny and games !

Quoting: TheRiddickMaybe people should make sure they can afford kids before having them also? :)

Not like the planet is running out of people anytime soon is it?

Steady, no room for logic in here :D

Quoting: pete910In what universe is a Haswell and a 970 classed as a supercomputer today :huh:

And to be fair I don't think anything lower from NV supports Vulkan

In the world of a daddy with 4 kids short on many things counting money who didn't plan on buying a new rig before a year or two because short on money and kids come first ...

Didn't have too much thinking to do to come up with a receivable answer here...

A I5 4590 wasn't exactly blowing benchmarks on release let alone to days CPU's

Quoting: tuubiNvidia supports Vulkan on the GeForce 600 series and up.

Wasn't sure how far back the NV series but had the maxwell line stuck in my head

Quoting: GuestToo bad the system requirements are pretty steep.... It requires a supercomputer to run. A Haswell quad core, 8gb ram, and an Nvidia GTX 970 (!!!!) as MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS.... Seriously? A freaking 970 is considered "minimum"? And to think it is Vulkan-only... Imagine if it was D3D11/OpenGL....

By the way for the people mentioning Star Citizen, Star Citizen is vaporware. It will never be released, and even if it will, it will be Garbage. The writing is on the wall... X4 just can't be worse than this...
