Think this card will go for $800AUD here... insanity.

Finally managed to fix my star citizen and fsr, unfortunately it doesn't help the game. Star Citizen has DEEP DOWN issues in its core, even changing dramatically between low res and high res yields same framerate performance, and CPU isn't pegged.

Games got 10yrs of optimization ahead of it!

Feral no longer porting A Total War Saga: TROY to Linux, citing less demand since Proton

Quoting: lqe5433etc. so it should be a some amount of clicks to build the game to Linux if there will be demand for it.
Unfortunately devs I've asked don't agree. They claim games simply don't work when they try to port to Linux and need a huge amount of manual tweaking and testing which consumes a large amount of time.

Feral basically used a translation layer anyway didn't they?

The big problem with feral releases is when games get updates, and the fact the linux versions are under timed licenses. This is why Mad Max and some of their other Mordor games no longer have the penguin icon in store.

Quoting: benjamimgoisbecause games with internal scalers doesn't work with the feature.
Mortal Online 2 has a manual render resolution scaler and FSR works with it. Some games might do scaling automatically?

FSR is pretty good, been using it with KCD and MortalOnline2 with great success.

Valve corrects the RAM specs for the Steam Deck, games should run nicely from SD Card

Quoting: Hori, let's be honest, is considered a forbidden arcane art by the average user.
No you just backup whats on there already and restore it on the new drive. I don't know if they will provide any tools for this, guess we'll find out. Then again just putting steamOS3 on a microsd card is not that hard.

Rust needs EAC support via proton, so runs, yes mostly (its possible to bug out the prefix and get infinite crashes on launch). No multiplayer however except for the hidden non-EAC servers nobody wants to play on. (no players or errors on connecting)

Quoting: damarrinI'm guessing it means you need to open the deck up to access it and it'll void your warranty.
Invalid here in Australia, we are allowed to open electronics up. (stores will fight, then you show them the law and they shut up)

80-90MB/s is the typical MicroSD cards sold and also Nintendo ones. I bought a 512GB 180MB/s R/W one however so hopefully that will be a little bit faster. (faster ones cost more)
