Nice, congrats on clipboard support especially! I was waiting for that one for a long time.
However 32bit dependencies hell are gone with new wow64, only need 64bit development dependencies for build biarch wine:I've been building it without 32-bit deps like that for a while already, so it doesn't look like this changed recently?

I don't really see many games which are CPU bound for me anyway, most are limited by the GPU, so what exactly does benefit from more cache?

Hmm:

Looks like they don't even plan it. Dealing with this asymmetry is a scheduling mess, so I'd rather go with symmetric ones even without extra cache.

Are these new X3Ds still asymmetrical? I.e. extra cache only on half of the cores? I'd prefer a fully symmetrical one once they get to it.

I consider all upscaling worthless, so no points for me. Awaiting some real world results!Yeah, I'm not using upscaling either. It would be interesting to see the comparison of 7900 XTX and 9070 XT in non ray tracing scenarios.
Should've just axed the non-XT variant and worked on making a beefier XTX version instead.I think they need the unified UDNA architecture for that which will happen in the next generation. I.e. they deliberately skipped XTX for this one from what I've heard for architectural reasons.

Hopefully it's not UE5What else is there? Hopefully Godot can become high end enough, but seems like UE5 is the most common go to engine for those who don't develop their own. What's more surprising that even giants like CDPR went for it, instead of investing in their own.

> WHY would anyone use it
I use my own scripts and installation method with lgogdownloader which is more barebones than this, but gives me full control over what I'm doing. So may be there is an appeal for something more automated for those who don't want to make their own tools but also don't want a whole load of unrelated stuff that Lutris / Heroic have.
