Quoting: EhvisYou'd think that Linux users, who have been on the receiving end of FUD, would be slightly more careful with what they say. Unfortunately not the first time this has been proven wrong.

So Noveau poor performance is not Nvidia fault? Facts != FUD.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80but noveau is to be fair to it is useless, Mesa who only what six months ago started supporting mali has already surpassed its capabilities when it comes to gaming.

I know, my point is that once upon a time noveau capabilities weren't that bad... but Nvidia happened.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Am guessing they will keep the name and you we start seeing propriety drivers for them on nvidia website, also nothing is going to stop Mesa drivers still working on Mali gpus granted support is still relatively new.

Yeah, just like nothing prevents to have noveau woking as expected :P

Quoting: NvidiaNVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang also sent a letter to NVIDIA employees, which was posted officially online as well. In it, Huang mentions "Uniting NVIDIA’s AI computing with the vast reach of Arm’s CPU, we will engage the giant AI opportunity ahead and advance computing from the cloud, smartphones, PCs, self-driving cars, robotics, 5G, and IoT.".

Quoting: AlsoNvidiaThe transaction does not include Arm’s IoT Services Group.

Are they contradicting them self?

Quoting: The_Aquabatby stealth I mean killing them with the knife or with the snake, taking them one by one without shooting them, that's what I meant, for me it's just too much work it is way easier to lure the enemies into one place and gun them, (hint) right clicking over your guns reload them all (took me some time to figure that out).

To be fair, you were able to use the same strategy in Commandos, but the idea was to play it in stealth mode.

Quoting: slaapliedjeShadow of the Tombraider should add support for it, but it's not there in the Linux version, and I couldn't get it to launch through Proton. So I tried in Windows and... DLSS doesn't support Super Ultrawide resolutions in the game, only could do 1920x1200, and it ran pretty low. I was getting 50-60fps with everything set to max in Linux at 3840x1200, but in Windows, it w as struggling at 1920x1200 with DLSS on.

SOTR implements ray tracing on DX12 so I doubt it will be added to Linux.

Quoting: HoriNEW GPU prices went down!

Hmm... is more like new gpu pices didn't go up since last release (which increased their MSRP compared to previous gen). It's weird that keeping old increased prices can be felt as a price lowering... marketing 101 I guess.

Quoting: HoriSure AMD has open source drivers but... they're just too expensive. And their cards lack too many features that Nvidia offers.

Nvenc, CUDA and what else? At feature level, Nvidia and AMD offers mostly the same features on Linux.

Quoting: PatolaAnd that happens because of the State -- specially laws and regulations --, not in spite of it. Big businesses do constantly skew the perception of the public to make it look like there is lack of regulations, and they win double by more and more obstacles which they are able to work with but not their smaller competitors. A freer market with no rules and thus no barrier against newcomers would be the best deterrent against monopolies. Sure, I understand there is a complex production chain, but these very same suppliers would benefit from more customers too, so it's not this chain that prevents competition. Conversely, it's hopeless to try and use the State against the big guys, they are best buddies and will use this whole perception to their profit.

I fail to see which are the laws that prevents newcomers into the GPU market. IMO, the big wall is related with the dolar mountain you need to invest in order to become a new player.

Quoting: slaapliedjeAnyhow, I'm wanting to know what the performance of DLSS and VR games are! I mean if we can get 100% solid frames at 144hz on the Index... that'd be hella-cool.

Is there a anyway to use DLSS on Linux (I mean, with games that support the feature)? The first 15 minutes of the video just felt a like a lot of Windows only features for me.

The only big new for me is the MSRP for the 3070 and the 3080. Somehow Nvidia decided to not keep rising them... hopefully this means that AMD has something hot on hands.

This game has the potential to become the next freelancer.

Quoting: M@GOidNot that the previous version was perfect, it wasn't, with poor performance for the graphics (typical Unity novice developer) and a messy UI. They also have a half-assed single player campaign where you are forced to go online to get the better helicopters. But overall it was the best we had for a gamepad-friendly heli game.

Now I cannot even start the game (run out of memory), and people says they managed to make worse what was already bad in the previous version. Unbelievable.

Today they rolled-back to the old version.
