Quoting: tmtvlUgh, still so many people using the crappy NVidia garbage. I suppose that'll change as Wayland becomes more prominent.

Wonder how many people are gonna switch from Intel to AMD after the IME stuff...
Because it works most of the time and performs better than AMD.
Weird. It's exactly the same reason i made the switch to "team red" a good 5-6 years ago. It just worked. (and was cheaper even back then)
Nope.

First of all , AMD driver space is so fragmented.

OpenGL side ; you will get better performance from open source drivers.

Vulkan ; mixed results. Sometimes Radv sometimes closed source driver wins. I hope AMDVLK can improve RADV.

So as a gamer ; we want performance right? Yeah , then we should use open source drivers.

But on Mesa you can't play some games without doing workarounds. For example; Divinity , Dying Light , X11 etc.

With Amdgpu Pro ; you don't need to hassle like that but it will cost you performance wise. Also note that Hdmi audio , Freesync etc are not available with Mesa.

So ; AMD is not "just" works.

Without forget freezing in certain apps

Yep , i'm experiencing this on Cs Go and Talos Principle.

I filled bug report to Nvidia but they didn't care , that's what i like on open source AMD drivers. You will file the bug report and there was an interest to it at least.

Quoting: LeopardThey were busy releasing Civ6 for Ipad's.
but damn, I'm actually seriously considering buying an ipad just for that game lol...
Price seemed a bit high to me. For a mobile device game of course.

You can play 60 turns for free then you have to pay.

Quoting: LeopardWhat about H1Z1 King of the kill , Arma 3 Battle Royale mode?
They were standing there long before of PUBG.
Well, Brendan Greene (PlayerUnknown) was also the creator of Battle Royale mods for DayZ and Arma 2 (then ported to Arma 3). H1Z1 King of the Kill came out after his mods became popular. So, one could argue that he created that kind of gameplay, PUBG being the professional version of his previous attempts as a modder.

But in any case, a game concept can't be copyrighted. He can complain as much as he wants on this, he's basically yelling at clouds. (*insert Simpsons reference here*)
Yep , with his logic id Software should be complaining about all FPS games being copycat of Wolfenstein or Doom.
