Portugal goal was in offside position, the tackle to croatian player looks like from SpeedBall 2...
I remember a game called Striker that you had to keep pressing one of the directional keys to give an effect to the ball, my older brother had to replace the keyboard after some days playing ...

Quoting: PikoloYep waiting for this since last year [External Link], I just tested on my laptop and I can switch between sway(wayland tty1 with the apu amdgpu) to openbox(xorg tty2 with nvidia - nvidia-xrun) and run any game with prime sync now. There is a small gain in performance: loading unigine heaven I went from using prime offload score of 2348 to prime sync score of 2437, not much but every frame counts. Also in theory when using only the amdgpu now that there is no process (xorg) using the nvidia driver as in prime offload there should be a reduction on watts usage, maybe, I have to test.Even PRIME support was expanded to allow PRIME Synchronization when using displays driven by the x86-video-amdgpu driver as PRIME display offload sinksSo they noticed more and more laptops sold with AMD APU and Nvidia dGPUs. Good.
NVIDIA have released the 435.17 beta driver with Vulkan and OpenGL support for PRIME render offload

Quoting: Ivancilloamdgpu, you can replace also in the xorg.conf the driver modesetting for amdgpu to have less tearing in apps running with the amdgpu but it doesn't affect the nvidia offload.Quoting: qgnoxThanks.Quoting: IvancilloIt works, I got it running on a Ryzen 3750h laptop with picasso gpu and nvidia 1660ti, this is the /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you have one of those laptops:This is where you might have your Intel GPU running most normal applications, with an NVIDIA chip then powering your games.Does this mean that it only work on laptops with Intel CPU?
What about Ryzen ones?

On the AMD side, are you using AMDGPU PRO or just AMDGPU?

Quoting: ajgpHe is doing fantastic work, and there are a few games I want to see how this does for; chiefly Guild Wars 2It works really good with this latest version, I started playing last Saturday (haven't played since 2015 I think), with some hiccups on fps but now I have 60fps (vsync) constant in my old machine with this version.
You will want to force your CPU into high performance mode for Vulkan games on Linux

Quoting: buenaventurashedutil <--- INTRUIGING, what is this? I google and it seems like some newfangled stuff? I wonder if that will be even better than Performance!If you want to use the 2.4GHz with schedutil governor add intel_pstate=passive in the boot kernel line. I'm using it and my hasswell cpu in the laptop has lower temperature than using only intel_pstate (powersave / performance) when there's not much load.
Still, why does it only go up to 2,00ghz? Says right on the sticker on my lappy "up to 2.4 ghz", bullshiet :P
