Quoting: mao_dze_dunHeh, I just ordered myself an MSI B450 Tomahawk, 32 gigs of RAM and a 2700x. I know what you're thinking but I'm on a budget (which I already stretched quite a bit to get 32 instead of 16 GB of RAM), and I managed to find the 2700x for 160 euro, while the the 3700x is 315. Plus, my plan is to hopefully buy a cheap 3950x in a couple of years, which according to benchmarks works surprisingly well with the Tomahawk Max. My reasoning was that RAM is expected to get expensive by the end of the year, but the CPU prices are going down, so it's better to put more into the RAM now than into a CPU I plan on potentially replacing with a 3950x anyway.

Hey I'm doing exactly the same right now but with:
- Ryzen 7 2700x
- MSI B450 gaming plus max
- 2x8GB HyperX Fury DDR4-3200 CL-15

I'm not doing my dream setup yet as I'm moving a lot lately but my point is:
Amazon says the £150 2700X is 50% off, so should cost around £300, it still is priced around 160€ on French retailers stores without any sale.
Is Amazon lying ?

Quoting: CreakI was sure I was going to switch my old AMD FX-8320 for a Ryzen Zen 2 somewhere this year, but I wasn't completely convinced with the AMD RX 5700, though thought it might be a good replacement for my RX 480... I think I'll do my CPU upgrade and wait a little to see the RDNA 2 GPU selection!

I'm going to upgrade my FX-8350 for a Ryzen 7 Gen 2 as well, haha.
Would you go with a X570 motherboard ?

I saw your gitlab issue Liam, thanks for that, I'd love having that on manjaro as well.

Is anyone able to join game chats rooms from community hub on the client ?
Whenever I click the link ("x in chat, y in game") on the community hub, nothing happens. (Manjaro with KDE plasma, even thought I think it's unrelated)

I had to login on steam on the browser and join game groups chats there, which would then automatically show up in the steam friends interface in the client.

(I've had that probably ever since the steam friends rework)

Quoting: kuhpunktIf you don't buy it, the publisher will see it and think that Linux ports aren't worth doing, because they don't sell.

If you buy it, the publisher will see that it sells on Steam and that this is where the money is. It's one unit sold less on the Epic Store.

Think about the signals you're sending.

I think at this point they the majority of their sale already. It's unlikely any signal we send will either be significant or strong.

Fans were likely to already play it via proton. :(

Quoting: drlambCannot wait for this change to trickle down into Manjaro ARM on my pinebook pro, currently running KDE paired with OpenGL 2.0/mesa-git on panfrost.

That's what I was gonna say.

Has anyone tried any vulkan related application (as the pinebook pro Mali GPU is meant to support Vulkan 1.0 implementations)?
I obviously don't expect much performance but might come in handy to optimise a few basic rendering stacks here and there.

Is this following any of the openXR specification ?
Is valve planning on doing that on their side ?

Thanks Alex!
We guys could show off with benchmarks thanks (but not limited) to that dude! :)
It's worth mentionning he was maintaining "gamemode" as well, cleaning builds, managing merge requests and all.
A hero went on to new adventures. May he finds thrilling experiences!

It will be available for all VR platform, alright I get that.

But does that mean Valve integrated openXR in Source2 ? (Or they just have their in-house wrappers ?)
Having OpenXR in or at least prepared the engine for it would be game changing for future releases. (even though it's currently still a very young specification)

Anyway I'm curious about that on case anyone has information. :)

Quoting: JarnoBtw, has Feral said anything about sharing their DX12 -> Vulkan translation layer?

As far as I love FOSS I think Feral is going out of business if they ever share their tech.
