Quoting: ScooptaSpecialized graphics programming? Just use OpenGL everywhere. It's not like it's Linux only.

But it is deprecated on Mac.

This is why it's best to just pretend that macOS doesn't exist =D.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Ahh I have it and have only just switched to full team red

I am throughly confused by your system specs as it says you have an Nvidia Radeon RX 570???? Although as MayeulC pointed out you should update them.

Quoting: MayeulCThat's a bit off-topic, sorry about that.

Quoting: MayeulCWow, they actually care a lot, they might have one dev using Linux + AMD ^^. It's a shame I can't justify buying the remastered version when I haven't finished the original (it honestly feels like I bought this game yesterday when it was just out).

To be honest all devs should do Linux + AMD. I personally have a problem with the way nvidia does things from a business standpoint. They really like using their own proprietary tech instead of open standards. I could go on a rant about why nvidia is bad as a company especially in a FOSS ecosystem like Linux. Also hi one of the other 11 people on this site with a Fury.

Hi! :D Best bang my buck could buy doing the crypto craze. Worth it, although it tends to run very hot (~80°C, mostly). BTW, I'm very tempted to have a look at a bios editor available on some forums [External Link], that lets you enable extra compute units on your Fury if they are not damaged , and turn it into a Fury X. Silicon lottery and all :wink: The complicated part would be getting this to run on Linux; the good part is my card is a Sapphire with a bios switch, so I don't risk bricking it. I might wait until I hit framerate issues in GPU-bound games, which hasn't been the case already, I'm just sharing the tip.

I also agree on your stance, and it seems that more and more people (Stardock interactive in the game industry think the same.

Speaking of the GoL system info, looks like Whitewolfe80 needs to update his :D

I too have the sapphire tri-x card and I have also thought about trying it but I could never get up the courage. I bought the fury on launch day so I payed a pretty penny for mine. Even if I could in theory switch to the other firmware I'm a bit chicken. Also I believe the thermal targets are the fury are 75C with the normal mode and 80C in the OC mode. I believe the OC mode also adds like 25W or something to the power target. So while 80C is hot it is what the fury was designed to run at.

Quoting: lijuThats a good news. Hopefully they can run it under Linux and give a hint about it to the audience ( ;

If you mean run the tournament under Linux I doubt it. I'd love to see that but they don't really do it. Just look at DotA 2 TI. That is run on Windows 10. The machines that are played on are Windows 10, the machines that run OBS for the streams run Windows 10. I just don't see them using Linux for artifact.

i didn't know this... bad :(

I also was not aware about this. Valve is commited to Linux, Linux is capable more than ever to run such tournament. Looks to me like just some kind of miscommunication or oversight inside Valve. It would be really good promotion and expression of their dedication to Linux if they switch.

Yeah it is rather unfortunate. I only know this because watching the streams you can occasionally get a glimpse of the monitors before the game is launched. That and they accidentally tabbed to the desktop on the streaming machine once.

Do you know what will really be the tell tale sign for me on whether they support steam play properly? Are they going to use OpenGL or Vulkan as their default backend or are they going to stick with DirectX. If they go with DirectX then I'm not sure I'd agree that they are supporting steam play. Yes they could test every patch as Liam mentioned and that'd be good but I'd expect them to at least use the Linux native graphics APIs

Quoting: ScooptaUhhhhh Liam...do you actually own 1.4K games??

Is that really so unusual, given the site he runs here? :huh:

I mean...that's a lot of games for anyone to own. Although to be fair I did forget that he probably gets quite a few free keys for reviews and stuff but that's an absurd amount of games. Like good lord. I only have 223 with 168 being Linux and that's considered a lot in my circle of friends lol.
