Most modern games should depend less on single core performance, that's a thing of the past already.

Quoting: fagnerlnI don't know anything about licences, but there's a chance (even insignificant) to steam or the developer apply DXVK to the game and sell it as Linux game?

I don't see a reason why not. But in their place, I'd back both Wine and dxvk projects in some way, since it would be only fair.

Quoting: SpykerThe performances offered by DXVK compared to the openGL renderer are stratospheric.
I just tested it with The Witcher 3, and it brings the game from barely playable to totally enjoyable.

To be clear, performance of TW3 with wined3d is not normal now, it's very bad, and Wine developers know about it and are working to address it. It's not as much a limitation of OpenGL, as some issue with particular usage of it.

I have an impression that @YoRHa-2B works on the project full time. Is someone sponsoring it? It's hardly a side hobby project by the looks of it.

Not about AMD, but I just saw a very good video on how mounting radiators and fans blow direction affects cooling (the idea shouldn't depend on the CPU type):

Looks like for open air shroud GPUs, it's good to use liquid cooling for the CPU with radiators set at the intake. I expected it, but nice to see some confirmation.

I would have preferred actually if they sold the cooler separately like before. I already have a massive Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4 . Selling both at once is inflexible.

This is CPU, and it's using 12nm.

Hopefully once it's non beta, they can make GOG release.

Quoting: ajgpSo im confused as to if this is Zen+ or Zen2

Zen+ is Ryzen 2. Zen 2 is going to be in the future. It is rather confusing.

Quoting: ArehandoroCould someone please explain me in plain English why the difference in W from the normal models to the X ones?

I think X ones come with higher frequency by default, and also they have more room for overclocking itself. There might be more differences.
