AMD reveal the Ryzen 9850X3D, Ryzen AI 400 series and more Ryzen AI Max+

I got a Intel ARC NUC PC recently on a decent deal, it was barebones,
I knew it wasn't going to have RAM or NVMe which is fine as I have a spare, but the memory DDR5 SODIMM was going to be like $300-1000, so I've had to just throw it on the storage shelf until I can find a realistic memory price sometime.

Maybe once the entire world explodes when the AI bubble bursts (when we are all bankrupt), I'll find some!

Every time I look at DDR5 prices I see dramatic increases in cost. I don't think people realize how much of a negative impact this is going to have on the PC market.

PS. Down under these Ryzen AI APU devices are INSANELY expensive, we talking $3000-5000 price tag.. I got this ARC NUC which has USB4 and EVERYTHING(feature wise excluding nvme/ram inc) for like %10 of that cost, lol

It is desperately needed. I do wonder how Stalker-2 looks now with these improvements which has MASSIVE ~%40 drop in fps compared to Windows WITH NVIDIA cards! (huge issue with nvidia which may or may not be fixed)

After a poor relaunch, SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded devs release a statement

PVP FPS fatigue perhaps?

There is a lot they can do with this game, I don't know if it has it but they could do 4-8 player coop story missions and all sorts, that be fun challenge. Leaning on pure player vs player engagement WILL eventually fatigue out, even the MASSIVE BIG SUCCESSES have suffered player drops due to this issue!

Quoting: tpauThey don't have to release galaxy for Linux at all to be viable for Linux gaming. There is already plenty of tools handling that.🥰
Yeah but they have their cloud saving and multiplayer all hooked up into GoG Galaxy 2+, plus its not a bad launcher. It's always good to offer a native option from the horses mouth rather then depending on 3rd party apps that MOST people will likely not know about coming from Windows.

"We've made a search engine that is 10,000x more inefficient, and lies to you!" Basically the AI world atm.

I've just been using Waterfox, seems ok so far.

I'm just holding out until the NVIDIA driver fix because this is one of the WORST affected by the NVIDIA DX12 performance issues. We talking %37 performance drop compared to windows. So if you got 100fps in windows you get 63fps under Linux, its pretty bad!

Quoting: torhamMight have considered it in the beginning but nowadays so many of their games have DRM preventing offline LAN gaming, so its really only the better option for single player games. For any LAN games, they have basically as much DRM as steam.
Yeah this is why they need to release the GOG-Galaxy2 for Linux,
