The graphics looks awesome!!!... I wonder if they are real ingame graphics or faked CGI...

By the way.. VR? No, thanks. I can't afford that. I want traditional monitor/TV support, Valve.

I hope so. But I understand Reshade works on Linux too. [External Link]

something like this could well be against Valve's terms if you use it to unlock achievements. I couldn't find a definitive answer on that though.
English is not my native language. When I said VAC banned, I mean to have the steam account banned.

Anyway. I think the possibility of reset the Steam achievements and, why not, the playtime of individual games should be an official feature in the steam client...

Quoting: pete910Time to retire that 4790k, it's a severe bottle neck !
One, that hardware belongs to my Windows 7 SP1 machine.... And is not a pirated Windows; is a legit one and it doesn't support recent processors.

Two, Impossible to retire that CPU with the actual economical situation of Argentina...
Odd, win 7 ran fine on my ryzen 1 :huh:

Legit or not makes no difference, not that I implied you had pirated anything :O

Argentinas economical situation I can't help with, though I would have thought it's down to the individuals economical situation :P
I am not an Intel fanboy, but I don't like the PGA mechanism of the AM4 socket...
I prefer the LGA of the Intel CPU sockets and AMD Threadripper TR4 socket.

Eventually I'm gonna build a new machine. I don't care if I use Intel or AMD, but it must have an LGA socket.

WINDOWS version on Windows 7 SP1.


I'm happy (and surprised) to report that winner is the Linux version!!!
Good job, Feral!

Sadly, I can not test the Linux version on Windows 7. (And If it is possible, I don't know how)

Post data:
With VSYNC ON, the Linux version is the winner too.

Spoiler, click me
