If people can clock their lower end Zen CPU's at ~4.5ghz (for boost, or if it auto does it) then I will be happy with getting a AMD CPU. Still not sure on what to expect from this auto-clocking business, makes no sense stating a TURBO speed if the thing clocks up to whatever it wants/needs anyway?

Normally you'd find the top stable clocks and volts for the CPU then let it apply those through the typical clock throttling method, having the CPU 'decide' itself on what it can achieve doesn't seem sensible or even stable!

* CrossOver now supports 64-bit Windows applications, with new bottle templates and 64-bit dependency management.

Well this took them like FOREVER to do, maybe I will consider buying a licence sometime next year when I change to a AMD based system.

Quoting: pete910Native or not interested

The only issue is MANY games will never in a million years see a Linux port. And for developers of other games to get interested in making native Linux games, more people will need to use Linux, if WineD3D11 efforts help bring more people to Linux then its good overall. Plus there has been developers that used wine to port their games over with great success so I wouldn't be quick to trash it just yet.

I just wish Wine development wasn't so damn slow, I think that is what does the damage more then anything else. D3D11 should have been at the level of DX9 is with Wine atm...

Ultimately its up to CryEngine and their ability to get Vulkan working, and applying that to their Linux version of the engine. The guys working on Star Citizen are using the same engine but have a large enough team and money to actually do a fair chunk of the work themselves when the time comes, perhaps they will share that work at some point.

Hmm, my profile was a bit out of date also, I have recently settled on Manjaro KDE and currently using a 980Ti (I would use two if SLI worked!)

I'll move back to AMD once the 490 comes out, and if it isn't terrible :)

You must right click on icon and select library under KDE also, so I think that is a common issue.

Running Manjaro KDE here and pretty sure mine closes to the system tray just fine without any major tweak.

GOG Galaxy for Linux would be a nice start,..

Its possible that DX9-VK will give better performance then DX9-OGL, in saying that it would have been more useful if it was DX11, but I guess you gotta start somewhere.

Their SLI function is also BROKEN at 4k, forcing only 30hz option no matter what (at 4k, although it still looks 30hz at lower res). I only wanted to try SLI for select titles that have inbuilt support for it, but not at 30hz.

I guess I should pester NVIDIA about this on their forums sometime....
