Weirdly I got the bundle with the ultimate license upgrade, but unlike the original fantasy grounds, the unity version doesn't show the key for it..

Quoting: AzPInteresting! I've seen many comments (from the developers I think) that the graphics engine really isn't their main bottleneck, but more or less "everything else". But another native Vulkan-based engine is always welcome!

I'm looking forward to tests of it on Phoronix (or other sites).

I could be wrong here, but moving to Vulkan should make the VR stuff work in Linux? As I believe native Vulkan is a requirement at this point?

So there is that... which also means I should really dig into it with my overly expensive Thrustmaster Warthog set up + Valve Index :)

I'll have to try it again today, as when I last launched it, I would pick a game setting and create a new campaign, but then it'd just sit there and do nada.... the old version worked fine in Proton.

Hoping I can start using it, especially since I got suckered into the sale. But also I want to use it for GURPS, which there is an unofficial plugin for. My tastes in RPGs have been spoiled by the wonderful people at Steve Jackson Games, though I occasionally wonder if I keep them in business... :P

Quick, order they are almost out of stock!

So yeah, I wouldn't complain too much on the price of the 3080...

Quoting: slaapliedjeStill wish the Sailfish phones came to the US, and my N9 / N900 hadn't been killed off by Nokia. N900 is still my favorite phone I've ever owned.

For my current phone I went for the cheapest piece of hardware supported by Sailfish X [External Link] I could find for sale locally (the Sony Xperia 10), and then bought the OS separately. The phone isn't great but it does the job, and Sailfish is the only mobile OS I can tolerate. Jolla doesn't produce hardware anymore, so Sailfish X is the way to go.

Anyway, this doesn't help you much seeing as the OS is only available in "EU, Norway, Switzerland" according to Jolla's site.

Yeah, otherwise I would be using it. Been tempted to install UBPorts on my Sony phone, but it sounds like it doesn't support the Z2 very well. Also waiting for my Librem phone..

Quoting: MohandevirI'm just wondering what the AtariOS will be like... From what I understand, it's going to be "hardcoded" (might no be the right expression). Will it be required to boot another OS for any other "features" not included ootb on AtariOS? That wouldn't make it that much "feature rich" for the average Joe.

From the news I got it's a Linux distribution preloaded on the system.
With access to the linux system itself so you can install whatever you want. A bit like steamos.

Now that I found out about this, it's what I'd put on a new Atari....

Quoting: slaapliedjeAnyhow, I'm wanting to know what the performance of DLSS and VR games are! I mean if we can get 100% solid frames at 144hz on the Index... that'd be hella-cool.

Is there a anyway to use DLSS on Linux (I mean, with games that support the feature)? The first 15 minutes of the video just felt a like a lot of Windows only features for me.

The only big new for me is the MSRP for the 3070 and the 3080. Somehow Nvidia decided to not keep rising them... hopefully this means that AMD has something hot on hands.

I found something interesting... well 1) 3D Mark has a benchmark that will work with DLSS. Sadly, I couldn't get it to work in Proton, outside of it loading the launcher.

Shadow of the Tombraider should add support for it, but it's not there in the Linux version, and I couldn't get it to launch through Proton. So I tried in Windows and... DLSS doesn't support Super Ultrawide resolutions in the game, only could do 1920x1200, and it ran pretty low. I was getting 50-60fps with everything set to max in Linux at 3840x1200, but in Windows, it w as struggling at 1920x1200 with DLSS on.

Quoting: jensUh nice, I'm thinking about a new laptop for various reasons, this will be a serious option. I know roughly how an eGPU setup is supposed to work. Lets say one would combine this machine with a Razer eGPU box with a NVidia card. Does this setup (hotplugging, extend desktop, launch software on the eGPU on the external display, ...) works on Linux?

I have an eGPU, I didn't have much luck with getting it to work last time I tried, but it's probably been a year.

One thing about Thunderbolt ports, is that they properly require authorization first under Linux, whereas Windows seems to treat them more just like USB devices... I'll have to give the eUSB a test again to see if they've gotten that fixed.

Oh, that would be nice, thanks a lot!

So far it doesn't seem to work on the P52. Not sure if it's because it already has an nvidia in it, or what. I'll have to test more on my tablet that I bought the eGPU for in the first place (for some dumb reason one of my usb flash sticks didn't want to actually load the Fedora image I copied onto it.

Quoting: GuestI just hope old gpu prices goes down, but it never happens.

They'd really prefer to price gouge you at all points in time, not just at release.

All that needs to be done is:

a) passing laws that force companies (...).

How about the complete opposite? Throw away all laws that currently pose an obstacle to competitors, don't force companies to anything. New players on the market will appear trying hard to get their niche, boom, prices drop. This is actually happening with VR sets right now.

Creating more laws against businesses does not make things better for the consumers. It onerates the entire production chain and makes it harder for everyone to get that. And it keeps competitors away for the big players. That's exactly what you don't want to happen.

A big problem is that all the players in a market tend to end up being bought out by the larger players. That's basically just part of capitalism. Like 3DFx was huge back in the day, but they couldn't get a normal 2d/3d card out to save their lives, so nvidia bought them. That gave them the bit of edge they needed over their rivals, and I'm not sure anyone has really been able to catch up since. All the others ended up being bought by someone else, or just called it quits, like Matrox just gave upon being consumer GPUs, and go for the prosumer / multi-monitor company.

Anyhow, I'm wanting to know what the performance of DLSS and VR games are! I mean if we can get 100% solid frames at 144hz on the Index... that'd be hella-cool.
