Cyberpunk 2077 gets a huge update, expansion teaser and fixes the Steam Deck preset

Oh, new expansion trailer? That's cool.

Haven't tested the update yet, but I'm playing GOG version. Previous release worked with stock Wine with only vkd3d-proton addition.

Quoting: jarhead_hGuys, it's VERY likely that the CCP launches an invasion of RoC(Taiwan) very soon
Anything can happen, but I doubt it. They are dealing with all kind of economic problems now. Outright war will ruin them. Unless they downgrade to Putin level of cretinism, they won't do it. But then again, who knows.

I think AMD were working with Samsung on that, but so far yeah, they are pretty dependent on TSMC.

You can also notice how upward trend for AMD resumed once GPU shortages issue was resolved. For around a year things were mostly flat.

August results are in. So it got close, but not yet for AMD GPUs to catch up to Nvidia:



May be a month or two and it will get ahead!

CPUs look promising, but I wonder with 170 W TDP vs current gen 105 W, will high end coolers be able to handle it on full load?

Also, how do you apply thermal paste on that heat spreader plate? I.e. won't it go into those openings?

Quoting: scaineProbably not, given that 99% of people using Nvidia will be proprietary and 99% of people using AMD or Intel will be using mesa (open source). It was more relevant when AMD were still pushing the Catalyst/Radeon driver. And Nouveau driver hasn't really matured all that much in the last few years to my knowledge - not sure it's worth talking about it at this point.
I think nouveau is actually the most relevant for this question. I.e. since they can start implementing important features like reclocking based on the new Nvidia's open kernel module, it will become feasible to use nouveau + nvk (Mesa Vulkan for Nvidia) as a functional open stack at some point.

For AMD this question is indeed not interesting.

Quoting: WorMzyI wonder if this'll be the scrape where AMD overtakes nVidia in the GPU vendor results. :shock:
It's close :) But might take another month.

Looks cool. I hope the release it on GOG.

Quoting: JpxeIsn't Flatpak the solution to this?
I think lbic is low level enough to be considered a fundamental library even for the above.
