Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT revealed, plus more details on FSR 3

I'm currently using VkBasalt SMAA with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (Wine+vkd3d-proton) and it works pretty well and better than game's own AA options.

Another addition in FSR 3 is a "Native AA" quality mode that allows you to use FSR 3 without applying any upscaling but still gives you the high-quality anti-aliasing and sharpening of FSR.
Oh, that's what I was waiting for. It was weird they always conflated temporal anti-aliasing with upscaling before. They totally don't need to be.

May be they can turn FSR without upscaling part into a Vulkan layer now, similar to how VkBasalt does it. Otherwise there is no easy way to use it.

CDPR's expansions are usually pretty big, so I'd say the price is fine. It's not some minor reskin and such.

I don't see a point in pre-ordering though. It's not crowdfunding? I get that developers want to be paid in advance, but I'd rather do it for crowdfunded projects which actually do need it to be made.

Just finished Deus Ex: Mankind Divided for the first time. It was really good. So looking forward to more Cyberpunk :)

I assume it's not ready indeed. Otherwise Wine project would have switched to a single binary already.

It's currently set to i686-w64-mingw32-gcc-posix, but setting it to i686-w64-mingw32-gcc-win32 doesn't work either.

Hmm:

checking for i686-w64-mingw32-gcc... i686-w64-mingw32-gcc
checking whether i686-w64-mingw32-gcc works... no
configure: error: MinGW i386 compiler not found.
This is an error since --enable-archs=i386 was requested.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.


That's weird since I have gcc-mingw-w64-i686-posix installed for building dxvk / vkd3d-proton. What am I missing?

If single wine binary is a thing in the new version, why does their 8.14 build for Debian still contain wine64? They decided not to remove that split yet by default?

Quoting: mrdeathjrAlmost forget in this mode wine64 binary dont exist, is only wine binary but run both 32 and 64bits windows apps
Oh, that's nice. I was waiting for it to happen. Good to see that.

Quoting: GroganFinally... I hate building Wine twice.
Oh, so it is easy to build WoW64 Wine now? Before this process was so convoluted that I never bothered doing it when I needed to build it.
