Steam Controller & Steam Link on sale for a few days, the Link is especially cheap

I picked up the Steam Link during the last sale (it works great even over my WiFi). I wish the percentages were reversed there so I could get a second Steam Controller on the cheap. :D
The developers of Mantis Burn Racing are open to bringing the game to Linux, if there’s enough interest

Quoting: FeistHuh, long ago I was very fond of an arcade game that was called "Super Sprint" and later I also enjoyed "Death Rally" on PC. This looks similar to both of those and I don´t think I have seen someting like it on linux, so I´ll certainly add my voice to a porting.
If you're looking for a Death Rally type of game, BlazeRush [External Link] is a good one. Performance is solid too.
Adventure game Syberia 3 looks like it will be heading over to Linux

It looks like some people [External Link] aren't so excited about it.

I think this is one game that would be worth a remake. Notice I said "remake" and not "remaster". I mean actually remaking the game with the same location and story, or at least making another game that takes place in Stillwater. I think it was by far the best location of all the Saints Row games and one of the best open worlds ever.
Dark Horizons: Mechanized Corps adds Linux support with a Beta

Quoting: morbiusWhat other Mech game is there for Linux?

I played and quite liked Hawken back in my Windows days, I wouldn't mind having something like that.
Heavy Gear Assault comes to mind. It's also in Early Access.

Also, the original "Horizons" game was on Linux: "Dark Horizons Lore:Invasion," published by good old GarageGames back in 2005 (same developer).
NVIDIA have announced the TITAN Xp and it's a monster

Quoting: scaineI don't get who/what these cards are aimed at? This behemoth will likely retail for well over a grand, given that the plain 1080s are still around the £500-600 mark and the TI edition is £800-900. I mean, there's top-end gaming, and then there's just flushing money out the window!
Hey, even Oprah needs a good graphics card.

OpenGL vs Vulkan in Mad Max, re-tested
5 Apr 2017 at 12:07 am UTC
I get frame drops into the 50s and 40s while driving. Is it because my CPU is too slow? I have an i5 3350P, with an Nvidia GTX 970.

The max fps is better with vulkan, but the minimum seems to be the same, which makes the experience less smooth, even with settings turned all the way down. Is there any way to get a consistent 60 fps?
Some notes and benchmarks about a performance regression in Mad Max's OpenGL rendering

Quoting: Adam_eMI am generally experiencing some significant frame skips in Mad Max just recently, but it was ok earlier. It's worth to mention however, but the game performance seems far better when using Vulkan. Oh by the way, do you know any applications that can show FPS'es and stuff while running a game? I know of GLXOSD but it doesn't show any output when running the Vulkan beta. And also, it seems to stuck on 60fpses in any game.
It's definitely faster for me, but I've noticed the skipping/stuttering as well, even when it's above 60 fps. Hopefully, they can iron that out. I didn't try it with the framerate smoothing enabled. Would that help?

This looks like some good local co-op fun for my new Steam Link.
