The style reminds an intro to Moonwalkers [External Link].

Quoting: ageresAMD used to release cards with more VRAM than Nvidia, but now they don't, and I'm kinda disappointed. I'd wait for a card with, like, 12 GB or more.

More VRAM is doable, but price will jump as well. Especially if it's HBM. So far GDDR and HBM especially didn't go down in price enough to allow more VRAM easily.

Quoting: mrdeathjrresuming this 5600 xt (2020 card) show similar performance around gtx 1070 (2016 card)

Performance gains are architectural steps. I.e. they can't just make a card with better performance without improving on RDNA. This 5600 XT is using the same microarchitecture as 5700/5700XT, so nothing unexpected here. The performance jump was from the start expected from RDNA2 cards.

Quoting: subNo big Navi announcement?
How disappointing. Really.
Especially as an announcement doesn't even mean it's around the corner.

They are likely still working on RDNA2. Would be nice to get something more powerful than 5700 XT, but not really at crazy prices that approach $1000. I suspect their immediate "big Navi" is aiming at replacing Radeon VII which is going to be very expensive.

If I ever get CP 2077 it would be native (not sure if CDPR will ever do it, but Staida works leaves that chance) or in Wine. Not Stadia for sure.

I'd add Eitr [External Link], though there is no guarantee it will even come out.

Kick EA, they don't deserve your attention.

Quoting: The_Aquabat

The Witcher series - 70%-85% off. Pretty good price to get TW3 for Wine.

I have everything Witcher except the expansions to TW3. Are they worth getting?

Yes, surely get them. You'll get the GOTY edition automatically after that, so just use it instead.

Quoting: GuestPerhaps, but I'd rather not rely on proprietary software to play my games. It's one thing about Steam I don't like, and I'd abandon GOG if they went the same route.

Sure, I'm not saying anyone should use the blob client. I'm just saying that community can't make a proper client yet at least in case of Linux builds, due to GOG not enabling Galaxy protocol for them. It works for Windows builds, that's why FOSS clients like lgogdownloader and wyvern can do incremental updates for them properly. For Linux builds they use a hack I described above.

Quoting: no_information_hereMy one question is: Do any of these FOSS clients support incremental updates? Downloading 2GB+ every time a dev patches their game is another reason I don't use GOG as much.

lgogdownloader and wyvern do, when using Galaxy protocol (so for Windows builds). For Linux builds GOG doesn't support Galaxy protocol on the backend, so they rely on the hack of using zip offsets over HTTP, so it kind of works, but it's a hack.
