Quoting: scaineIf only GPUs were actually available...

Supposedly the situation should get better later this year. Still waiting to get Sapphire Pulse RX 6800 XT myself.

I think DLSS is also a kind of a trade off idea. It's sold as some kind of improvement but in fact it also reduces quality in general like any upscaling does. I'd personally prefer lower resolution with higher quality to higher resolution with lower one. So I don't see a big appeal in upscaling just to put a checkmark that "I have higher resolution". GPUs are improving without upscaling tricks anyway, so what's the rush? For higher resolution there will be more powerful GPUs.

I think for an anti-feature, it's good enough to end DLSS. Because it works everywhere and will also get better over time. The other side of it - it's general purpose. While AI/ML is more limited to specific use cases. So it is better in some cases and worse in others. Everything is a trade off.

Quoting: lemoncitronEven if you aren't playing games, I find the high refresh such a quality of life improvement on just any day to day desktop usage. I cant go back to 60hz now, mouse movement just feels like molasses .

Yeah. With adaptive sync, it's fine if games don't match maximum refresh rate. But desktop user experience is way better with 144 Hz than with 60 Hz.

AMD usage continues to grow. Though with crazy CPU / GPU shortages, upgrades are probably pretty rare now.

Is the GOG version latest for Baldur's Gate games? It lists 2.6.5 in the installer, but changelog doesn't have any recent info.

Quoting: slaapliedjeSeems to be an odd reason to limit it to Steam. I'd think that'd be fairly easy to do outside of it... Then again, I'm not a dev!

I don't know details either, but with the level of success of the game, I think they can do it without tying it to Steam.

Quoting: slaapliedjeIs it only released on Steam then? I want to support GOG more, but they should support me more... :P

A while ago when developer pulled the game from itch.io he said he needs to rely on Steam services for NAT traversal.

Developers keep deleting the suggestion to release the game on GOG without even commenting (from here [External Link] ). Such attitude doesn't look good to me so I don't expect them to do anything positive about it since they don't care. I'm skipping this one.
