i have always used my keyboard macro buttons for forcing ondemand or performance. even with opengl it helped with the microstutering

my script is like that:

pkexec cpupower frequency-set -g performance && notify-send "Performance Mode" "Cpu clocks set to perfromance mode" -t 2000 -i messagebox_info

and other one for the ondemand mode also. pkexec is for polkit rule to not have to use root.

Rocking a Ryzen 7, very happy with my purchase. Gamers will be happy with the R5, im quite sure. It probably wont reach to the levels of Kaby Lake performance, but for budget gamers i believe it will be an amazing product.

Dirt Rally mostly. Best game ever :D so amazing with the wheel.. Finland is my favourite



Some ARK as well, not too much but its working incredibly smooth on my Ryzen :)

Quoting: 0aTTUpdating OBS is a pain, because of NVENC we have to recompile and install OBS/ffmpeg manually. With these few changes is seems really not worthwhile. Still using version 15.

But thank you for reporting this.

depends what distro you use.. Arch for example has nvenc included in default ffmpeg. not hard at all.

And if some people are like me who has Browser with 40 tabs constantly opened which may take 6-7GB itself, then yeah 8GB aint cut it. I sometimes run out of 16GB even.. i probably need 32 :)

And Below Spec CPU video

View video on youtube.com

its actually playable on high settings with 40+ fps most of the time with some dips down to 35 when not recording.
OBS was making this a lot worse though, because i added my SJCAM M10 into it as well.

Menus are super slow on this CPU though.

Seems to be pretty good port from feral.

Cant wait to get my Ryzen stuff already and run it at max :)

Quoting: MintedGamer

Quoting: XpanderCan't wait for April statistics to see if AMD CPU share has started to rise.

i myself planning to buy one in March :)

Me too! :) The pre-release leaks and reviews look really, really promising. I think the top of the range i7 chips may still have a slight edge in single core performance but it looks like everything is pointing to AMD absolutely blowing the Intel chips out the water in price vs performance.

I'm hoping AMD shake things up a bit and make the market competitive again.

Actually i have to buy it on the Launch now or even pre-order :)

i managed to kill my current shitty montherboard. VRMs died :D damn that OC was too much for this board.

Quoting: adamhmIn my view Wine is crucial for helping bring new users to Linux. If it wasn't for Wine I wouldn't have switched to Linux 4 years ago - I'd still be clinging to Win7 now, probably hoping for ReactOS to improve enough to be usable for gaming before support for Win7 ends. I wouldn't be trying to convince people to switch to Linux with giveaways, guides etc. as I currently do and I wouldn't be planning to make my next PC Linux-only.

I have literally hundreds of games (in addition to other software) that are Windows only and will never be natively available for Linux, built up over more than 25 years of gaming on DOS/Windows, and without Wine switching to Linux would have meant completely abandoning all of that.

In addition there are lots of other older games I'd like to play that I'd have to give up on ever playing on Linux if not for Wine. Although for me to consider buying any game with the intention of running it in Wine it has to be both DRM-free and cheap, as well as be likely to actually run well.

Word.. even back in 10 years ago when i switched to Linux, i wouldn't make it without wine, i was total WoW addict back then :) heck i even used wine for utorrent and foobar quite some time before i was happy with the native apps.

im still using wine for my music production, FL Studio. THere are nice native programs but starting from a scratch and with limited plugin support its not really a thing.

Wine project is amazing, what they have achieved. Keep on Rocking!

Ran some benchmarks:

http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1702152-TA-TALOSTEST91 [External Link]

nearly 2x perf for me compared to OpenGL

edit: btw i get system freezes with vulkan also at random points and the weird thing is that it seems to be caused by conky :) conky which is pulling lot of nvidia info. Me and my friend both have same issues, turning off conky and running vulkan has been success without system freezes.
