Quoting: Whitewolfe80and its sold out

Like practically all the rtx 20's & 30's! I wanted to upgrade my Windows gaming rig, but I will wait for availability and affordable price ... The soldout ASUS dual RTX-3080-O8G quoted at C$830 on Newegg, is available on Ebay for C$1200-1500!

For the time being I am happy to play on Linux, even some new Windows games, such as HZD at 30fps (:cry:), and thru RDP on Linux!

Sorry, but none of the games interest me, except may be Nebuchadnezzar and Valheim!

I wish I played game this past two weeks. I have been fighting against Windows 10 pro to make it work with my Linux machines! The bloody thing does not gives you many information when it refuses to access my Linux server and Microsoft gives me the roundabout as if I was a stupid nerd!

Anyway tonite, I'm going to crush monsters and demons with Hellgate London!

Quoting: whizse

Quoting: lelorrainAs for my game budget, last June, I had to promise to my better half that I would not buy a game for NINE months! I admit that over the years I collected over 300 games in the last 30 years! What! That's just about one game a month! :wink:

Fight fire with fire. Withhold sex until you're allowed to buy games again!

@whizse: I am too old for this type of game; And the promise was done buy ME, not requested to me. I should have said "I did promise" instead of "I had to ..." (English is not my primary language!)

NINE years since November 2011! I am still waiting for my most preferred games to work at least with Proton:sad:

Fortunately, that does not include hardware expenses....:grin:

The more the reason NOT to rush to update when you do not really need it. I am still on Ubuntu 18.04.5 with kernel 5.4.0-51, I got caught last July when I tried to upgrade to 20.04 ... it destroyed my system! Since I setup a test machine on which I am going to try 20.04.1 and see how it works.

I regret to say that neither "Geforce Now" or the Linux "User Spoofing Agent" are available for Ubuntu/Firefox from nVidia on their web site! All I got was the message "This device or browser is not currently supported by Geforce NOW." with a link to show which device it supports!

I downloaded the ¨Google Chrome" under Ubuntu and "Geforce Now" does work; the only problem id that it supports only Steam and Epic games and most of my games are from GoG (54 from Steam vs 211 from GoG, including a few duplicates!)

Quoting: slaapliedje

Quoting: lelorrainI started to learn how to play Ancient Cities and Horizon Zero Dawn. Unfortunately both Windows games that do not work on Wine...

I beat Horizon: Zero Dawn on the PS4, such a pretty game. Though now I kind of want to see if it supports my new Super Ultrawide monitor so it'd be even prettier....

From what I see it supports 4K. The only big problem it seems that some people are plagued with crashes, other than that it's ONLY Windows 64-bit.

It needs as much RAM as possible, about 70GB of disk and preferably a lot CPU power if you want very high (Ultra) graphics settings. Although I play at about 30fps with an I5-8700, nVidia GTX 750ti, 16GB Ram on a 1920x1200 screen, the rendering is still pretty nice with no tearing.
