Quoting: shawnsterpI get the impression that it will see a linux release sometime AFTER the 75% off sale...

Yeah ... That wouldn't surprise me.

Last time I tried it was running pretty fine. But I did not test any demanding games yet.

Has it arrived yet? Update 4 is here but I don't see a Linux icon.

Quoting: jarhead_hAre you kidding? I just added an 850 watt PSU to my Amazon shopping cart and I'm pulling the trigger Friday. In August I'm buying the ASUS Crosshair 570, whatever 32GB DDR4 quad channel kit is recommended, the 12 core Ryzen 9, a PCIE4.0 1TB NVME, and a few months later I will be topping it off with one of these 5700XTs and an 1440p 32in LG Qdot monitor. This will be my first completely new rig in ten years. My first time in ten years not stuck at 1080p 60hz because I'm using a TV. My first time in ten years that I'm not using an AMD platform PC strictly because it's the only one I can afford but instead because it just plain kicks ass. And I'm upgrading from a PhenomII 960T in a socket AM3 mobo(not even AM3+), so I'm actually going to notice THE DIFFERENCE.

I MIGHT have to recycle a Samsung 840 EVO SSD until some company can get a reliable PCIE4.0 NVME out. BooHoo. II have decided to postpone upgrading to 4K until bare minimum Summer 2020 because the industry just doesn't have that ready yet, either on the GPU side or the monitor side. I haven't decided on the distro yet. I'm torn between PopOS and Fedora30, with F30 being what I'm using right now.

Going to need this machine to edit video for a Youtube channel. Also, I couldn't believe it, but a few of those trailers from E3 other than DOOM Eternal looked like they might be worth trying, especially the stuff from SquareEnix.

So the first thing that I'm going to do is install Mankind Divided, Arkham Knight, Sniper Elite 3+4, the New Wolfensteins, FFX/X-2, and anything else that I haven't installed yet due to some hardware limitation that delivers a completely subpar experience.

Sounds like an awesome setup, especially when you finally get your hands on that PCIe 4.0 SSD :D

Quoting: chancho_zombieme also and let's not forget the bugs that 1st gen ryzens had at launch, the gcc bug, the c6 state bug, the IOMMU grouping bug, and gpio bug, some of them it took an year to resolve, so I'll wait no hurry.

Yeah. I certainly remember the gcc bug. AMD replaced my 1800X :-|

Quoting: BrisseApparently the chipsets TDP is quite a bit higher to facilitate all that high speed connectivity with PCIe 4.0. Don't need PCIe 4.0? Then you might be better of with a X470 board which has a lower TDP chipset. Good news is that these new CPU's will work in most older boards but obviously you miss out on PCIe 4.0 and perhaps on RAM-performance as well if you put them in an older board.

Even my "old" X370 board got an update for Matisse recently :D

Quoting: BrisseYea, but don't expect much more than ~3.5GHz when stressing all cores. TDP is kept in check by lowering frequency obviously. I fully expect this thing to go way beyond 200W when overclocking on all cores. Still, looks like a beastly CPU. Out of my price range though so I'm sticking with my 1700X.

Aye. I have no "pressure" to upgrade, so I'm probably going to look for a higher-base-clock-lower-core-count CPU like the 3800X when the prices are going to drop later this year or 2020. On the other hand, the 3700X doesn't look too bad either.

Only 105W TDP for their 16C/32T CPU? O_o

Quoting: ThormackDoes Skyrim uses DX9?

The original Skyrim yes. Special Edition is DX11 I believe.

Aye.

Quoting: ShmerlWould be also interesting to see, how TDP of Navi cards compare to Vega.

I second that. I like my Vega, but a (significant) lower TDP at a comparable or better performance level would be great. Some "saved" TDP there could turn the scale CPU-wise for me, too.

Quoting: liamdaweToday, GOG officially announced Galaxy 2.0 and their aim seems to be to pull everyone together under one roof.

"Everyone" :D


Wake me up when Galaxy for Linux is a thing. I stopped buying games from GOG a while ago. At least they're not as hostile as Epic, that's why I'm not going to boycott them completely. But I'm slightly pissed by their moves, though.
