Still the most useful feature in MangoHud is to display the time: it reminds me to eat, sleep and work.

Quoting: Rooster

Quoting: LordDaveTheKindI would definitely buy and play it, if I wasn't kind of sensitive to horror and gore :sick:

But why? There are so many other great games, what makes this one so special? From what I've seen of it, I really couldn't understand the appeal. I'm not hating on it, I'm genuinely asking, because usually I at least to some degree get the hype for certain games, but on this one I'm really lost.

I agree. I do believe that this is more a behaviour coming from the consoles market: hype the game, sell the game full-priced and make all play it at the same time.

Quoting: CorbenWow... also Death Stranding is specifically mentioned (as it uses the same Engine as Horizon Zero Dawn). Though I didn't have any problems with Death Stranding yet (except a missing texture issue once in 40h game play), I'm happy to see that these updates will also be beneficial to other games.

Is it possible that the presence of heavy foliage in HZD has made a huge difference in the game performance?

Sorry, wrong URL. Same as clicking on the link under the picture anyway.

Quoting: omer666It's fine
Thank you for your answer. Yes those are very small issues, but issues they are indeed.

New MoBo and CPU, and with the PCIe4.0 I made the choice to keep the NVIDIA Card. Overall configuration at the link here on the left.

Quoting: omer666Would you share with us which games were troublesome to you?
I would really like to use an AMD GPU sometime in the future, and although I know the support is always getting better, I'm a bit concerned about problems I'm not aware of...

Yes, apologies if I answer just now.

There are a few exceptional cases:

• Games currently based on the Ray-Tracing extensions, or any other missing Vulkan extension on AMD;


• Some DirectX12 games such as AC Valhalla. There are some recent discussions though on how to make it work with specific versions of RADV/Mesa (Link on the GitHub discussion here [External Link] ). If you try to use AMDVLK, the whole X session crashes instead.

Of course they are very small exceptions, and I know very few people might get interested in them. But we have to consider them if we want to do an unbiased evaluation. And, to be fair, it isn't bad: it's healthy to have the possibility of making a choice between two options.

Quoting: omer666Well, maybe they realised AMD's hardware was competitive again, and they need to better their software to stay on top. In any case, I'm still waiting for Nvidia's promises to materialise, but that's very good news at last.

From what I've seen, AMD is still a bit behind NVidia in terms of hardware. NVidia is also way ahead in software so I don't think they are that worried.

This is so true. I aspire to one day moving to AMD but I'm not going to do it strictly because they offer "open source" drivers... frankly that's the least valuable item on my list of wants (considering that I'm using proprietary software in Steam and the games themselves!). AMD needs to catch up on the hardware front, particularly on RT and supersampling technologies like DLSS (which apparently will never work via proton, but alas). The AMD drivers also generally lag behind the Nvidia proprietary drivers in my experience. I'm hoping that the 7000 series cards solve the hardware issues when i'm looking to upgrade from my 2000 series Nvidia cards.

I've tried both the top tier cards currently (scarcely) available in the market. I would say that although AMD cards have a better efficiency, they still don't support as many games as Nvidia does. There is still no straight answer to the question which one is better for Linux gamers.

Still one of the best games of all times imho.
