These viral swarms are great fun!
Finished the community quests, nice to see a bunch of them this time.

Pro tip: The virals will head towards your general location even if you are camouflaged, so lure a pack of them to enemy soldiers (near airdrop/crates) and grab some popcorn. :)

Quoting: PatolaJust like the GPU can do OpenCL for computations other than graphics, the matrices multiplication of RT units can be used to other stuff too, like the deep learning of DLSS... you can use NVIDIA's Optix in Blender to get the Cycles renderer to render your videos much faster.
I thought Nvidia said the RT cores are specifically for ray tracing, and Tensor cores are for deep learning stuff. OptiX seems to utilize both.

Not sure we have a choice. In the end, it always comes down to cost. I remember dedicated Phys-X cards... does anyone else? That's how well that went.

Nice complement to the 3D FPS action/sim game Viscera Cleanup Detail (ProtonDB Gold+) and the 2D action/stealth game Serial Cleaner (Linux)

By the way, the stand alone game Viscera Cleanup Detail: Shadow Warrior is free with purchase of Shadow Warrior and both these are Linux native.
