Oh wow, I totally missed this story yesterday. I have been sticking with AMD because of their open source drivers and how well it all just works. With this announcement I'm not totally opposed to getting a Nvidia GPU for my next upgrade.

Quoting: TheRiddickAre these using 6nm or some other process which makes them easier to make over the original 7nm cards? Are these the relaunch of RDNA2 that has been rumoured?

Yeah they're just a relaunch of RDNA2 with faster VRAM and slightly overclocked. I think it's just a more advanced 7nm, they probably have better binned chips or something for this release. The 6nm and 5nm process is being saved for RDNA3.

Quoting: EnkhielAnother paper release. I couldn't be less excited :(

They are still stock at some of uk's pc component stores, which makes me hope that people aren't rushing out to buy these and any other overpriced GPU... They need to get real and bring the prices down.

I really dislike Epic these days, and I used to be a massive fan. So much so that I refuse to install their store, even with the promise of free games.

Still, I can see some people love games like Fortnite, so it's sad that Epic won't just enable anticheat for Linux and be done with it. Playing games through streaming services suck in my experience.

I hope I feel the same way when I finally get my Steam Deck. I've had a few consoles over the years but I never bought many games for them. The PC however I have spent sooo much time playing games. The steam deck could well be the first console I log some serious time into.

I'm not sure I'd want to run feral's game mode on the steam deck by default. I'm sure it drains the battery much faster running the cpu at its limit. It would be ideal for docked mode though.

I always smile when I see news on these games. My friend works for American McGee since the Spicy Horse studio days (now defunct). I haven't asked what they're actually working on right now, but it was a hope that they'd do another Alice sequel.

Quoting: MayeulCI like the steam controller virtual keyboard, is there something similar with the touchpads on Steam Deck? I think I would be more proficient with that than a touchscreen.

I've seen people use it in desktop mode at least. Not sure about the full screen UI. https://youtu.be/0Y4VMFbmBUk [External Link]

Quoting: BladePupperIs the FPS counter always white text or does it have a high contrast colour option like what the steam overlay has?

MangoHUD is extremely customizable. I'm not sure if the Deck's config files can be tweaked by GOverlay, if not you should be able to do it manually.

Good to see this kind of thing possible, but hopefully there will be an easier way to do this kind of thing in the future. For us Linux enthusiasts, this is absolutely nothing. But the less techn savvy, especially those coming from console land will need something dead simple.
