Quoting: tamodolo- probably nothing because Linux isn't developed to atend the end user.

There is work being done in ALL those areas right now. The issue is its allot of work and the people working on them have other responsibilities also so its a slow road sadly.

Technically if Valve can get the 6800U APU's then they'd get a instant %50 faster Steam Deck, however I suspect the price is going to be a issue.

There are already 2-3 other handhelds already using 6800U but they ship with Windows which is a bit disgusting. (are windows keys free for OEM now)

It's possible the 7800U APU will be a decent upgrade but Valve is probably using the chip they have now because AMD is basically giving it to them free at this point, lol

Another improvement would be swap the screen out for OLED, I don't care if its still 720/800p (who even makes those still?)

I would like to see HDR, 10-14bit color available and working in Wayland. More wayland limitations/issues fixed so we can finally ditch X11 and not fear having to switch back to it all the time when a problem appears on WL.

If the above happens, it be nice to see some real progress toward AutoHDR also.

Usually they wait until the project is 99% complete before sending in the lawyer army.. lol

The Witcher 3 is using a asinine DX11 to DX12 translation layer.
There are DLL files in "The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt GOTY\bin\x64_dx12" folder you can mess with in attempt to resolve problems. (someone recommends disabling dxil.dll and d3d11on12.dll for example)

Just my 2 cents, nothing tested as I don't own a SD

Isn't the Steam Deck partly made in China? seems like they should have access to it by default since that is usually how it works.

Yeah also Australia considered Oceanic, or Pacific-Oceanic to be precise (I think).

Valve really leaves this part of the world butt last even thought it wouldn't be hard to sell them here since you can rent warehouse and sell the things directly from AusPost and other companies. Nothing really blocking the sale unless stock levels are still a big problem.

I WAS going to get a reference card but decided against it. They have pretty big limits and some coil whine issues.

I'll wait until late January before thinking about a XTX again.

This may require a NVIDIA card to play since AMD/Intel ray tracing support is ULTRA experimental!

Is this a narrative on rails story shooter or a Open-World Story shooter? do you live in the world or just follow a preset line of leveled missions? Just bit confused as to what it offers other then obvious stuff.

Be nice if one day they can get full HDR support going. Guess we will need to wait for it to come to the Linux Desktop.

You can't really average your power consumption out over a day, you're power sockets NEED to be able to handle PEAK everything on period. But if you run allot of things off GAS then you can easily claim a lower electricity consumption.

Energy costs here in Australia (especially SA) are getting out of hand, gov is starting to panic (you know the guys loaded with cash who basically never need to worry about utility bills ever!).

I already pay 77cents a day (about 50c USD) just to have the house connected to the grid, if I turn everything off and die, I'd still be paying 77c a day! (GAS is a entirely different per day charge on top)

Average kwh cost is 34c btw which is reduced down from like 49c or something with some subsidies.
