AMD have announced the AMD Radeon VII GPU and more at CES 2019

8GB + RT + DLSS Is a much better proposition, because not only will we see RT becoming into its own but also DLSS for 4k users is pretty nice, once games support it. Also 8GB memory means they CAN budge on price in the future.

AMD's 16GB HBM2 is $385 by itself, they can't budge, it will likely be expensive long after the 2080RTX drops in price!!!

First week of feb we should see reviews. Thats not far away, but its a 300W GPU at a 2080RTX pricetag, I don't see any value in it. Starting to look like Vega all over again.

If its truly at 2080 performance then maybe its ok. But I really don't want 16GB of HBM2 due to the price of it all.

Plus is this card meant to beat the 1080TI under Linux? I would be very surprised if it does.

If it happens I'll probably haft to crack open the good old EDID editor and change my monitor freesync range from 48-62 to 35-62.

Overall proton running games have been pretty good, I do however wish Kingdom Come ran better with it, under windows I get 60-65fps at 4k (start town) and under Proton its like 45-50, tad low.

ARCH AUR has already been updated but for some reason it hasn't hit my specific repo server yet. Guess it takes time.

If games use vulkan then it kinda makes it real easy to port to Linux/Mac/Switch/PS4++ The only platform I know of atm that has a issue with vulkan is the xbox.... does it support vulkan? pretty sure they blacklisted it!

Lutris 0.5 beta 2 is out to further refine the experience and it's looking great

I'm actually using antergos xfce atm, but its still arch based.

Someone should just take lgogdownloader and turn it into a GUI for Linux like GOG Galaxy, that would be pretty funny and awesome at the same time.

Sounds like maybe a config issue, enable debug mode and turn on your terminal console in the configure section of launcher icon.

Why not Farcry 4 or 5? I don't have those so can't test them. Many people have told me FarCry5 is crap... so I have no clue.
