Looks like a possible Valve Index 2 will make their VR kit go wireless

Inside out tracking is still crap in comparison though, as you basically have to stare at your hands to get proper tracking.
I have had the Q1 and Q2 and that statement is quite false. There are blind spots but nothing like what you describe.

AMD releases FidelityFX Super Resolution, source code dropping mid-July

Slightly better then DLSS v1.0 from what I've seen so far. It has more potential since its open source and can work on any hardware. I hear RDNA3 cards will have access to a enhanced AI assisted version so maybe that will be comparable to DLSS 2+

Ironically DLSS is supported in MUCH MORE games atm thanks to mainstream engines adopting them such as UnrealEngine having it baked in. However gamedevs still need to send off textures to NVIDIA for processing, but maybe one day developers will have access to those tools themselves and NVIDIA won't need to be involved (we can only hope).

Still unsure if my next card will be a RDNA3 or NV4000...

OpenGL over Vulkan driver Zink gets a huge performance boost

TR2013 native always gave me significant slowdowns in several areas in the game to the point of making it not enjoyable. Yes the benchmark doesn't show these slowdowns.

Quoting: Avehicle7887While a Linux version is welcome, I refuse to buy a game which has DLC before it is even finished. Maybe I'll have a change of heart when the game is on a heavy discount.
What DLC?
Game has 3 DLC available. One of them is the soundtrack which I'm fine with, the other 2 are not.
The other 2 DLC are Gun and Portrait Packs, nothing story content wise. Been waiting for this game to be finished, nor really interested in playing a buggy incomplete version.

Yeah it really boils my blood when people say c-19 is fake and people aren't dying from it etc... I just want to reach through the screen and strangle someone.

Anyway, very useful app, I use it all the time to keep a close eye on my proton gaming performance where sometimes you hit odd perf bugs that don't occur under win10. (I use RTSS under windows)

MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries runs great on Linux with Proton now it's on Steam

There is a inner sphere addition and you can get it with base game called drop something bundle for like 57AUD on fanatical. No GOG sales atm.

I'll probably wait a bit longer, give mods and more discounts to appear.

Unreal Engine 5 goes out in Early Access with continued Linux support

It's interesting they support linux but yet to add it as a option for devs on their store, as in download linux version. Obviously a Linux EpicStore client would be best.

NVIDIA 465.31 driver out, plus NVIDIA takes another shot at limiting crypto

NVIDIA often limit functionality on their consumer cards, same with AMD.

Steam Play Proton gets a few quick fixes in the 6.3-4 release out now

I wish they could just make star citizen launcher work flawlessly, its such a glitchy mess even with work arounds.
