remember I am on an Nvidia 970 so your performance will vary.

I am seeing this sentence here all the time these days and I can't fathom why. This does not seem like useful information to me.
IIRC you also have a 560 at your disposal? Please consider testing it whenever you have an urge to talk performance.

Quoting: BdMdesigN

Quoting: minjBRB, checking the calendar...

No, definitely not April 1st.

As an NVIDIA user, I have to ask, why should I care how some settings panel looks if I can't play games with that driver*? There's some sarcastic comment to be put here but I'll pass in an effort not to offend anyone.

* my ignorance is not intentionally malicious, no trolling

The Radeon Software is the new Interface for the Vulkandriver from AMD.

Alright, then I will instead be eagerly waiting for news of that driver being released any day now?..
The problem is, that driver won't help with the current games, will it?

Quoting: liamdawe

Quoting: minjLiam, it's not a hard-lock if you can change tty :P

Even Alt+SysRq may not help during a proper hard-lock :/

You and I obviously have different views on what a hard-lock is. If it locks my entire session, forcing me to another, and then having to reboot as it just screwed up everything, I think it falls within it personally.

Yes, hard-lock forces you to reboot, we agree on that much. But that's just it: you didn't have to, at least the way you describe it. Only thing you need to do in your scenario is to kill/restart Xorg. Hence it's a soft-lock.

Anyway, sorry for off-topic.

Well duh. You either pay little for a device and a lot for games or you pay more for a device (including upgrades) and less for games.

http://www.ign.com/wikis/xbox-one/PS4_vs._Xbox_One_Native_Resolutions_and_Framerates [External Link] is not that impressive either.
Frame rates being unstable is a definite problem though and this is where devs/porters and vendors need some ass-kicking. Hopefully Vulkan will help with that in the future.

What if this is just a social experiment?

Alright, probably not.

Why developing games on Linux is awesome? Because why would you reboot/change your machine for it if you are already doing everything else on Linux?

If the question is why boot linux at all, the answer is easy: you can learn how things work and customize anything and everything because duh it's OSS.
