The new Dead Space is sadly a great big mess on Steam Deck

Dead space 2023 also behaves on rtx 3080 on windows. Some streamers had frequent freezing problems.

How cool would it be to see "Oculus Quest 2 support added". :)

Check out the original Half-Life with Ray Tracing
11 Jan 2022 at 5:53 am UTC

Quoting: UnixOutlawI assume an NVidia RTX is required for any realtime ray tracing?
In quake 2 RTX, ray-tracing was also on the GTX 1060, but there was 1 FPS. :) In real time only on RTX and Radeon 6000.

Textures and models need improvement.

Cyberpunk 2077 still crashes.

NVIDIA release big new Linux driver with 460.27.04, LunarG Vulkan SDK Ray Tracing ready

Quoting: GrabbyDoesn't that hex edit only affects the core scaling of the game ? Vk3d3d devs were saying that the engine is relying on undefined behavior in DX12, which is the cause of the crashes. I doubt core scaling has anything to do with that.
Besides, the crash are very random, so just because he didn't experience them after applying the fix doesn't mean the issue is solved.
Research is not a matter of faith, if there is something that needs verification, it should be verified, and not refer to your doubts. Crashes of the game are corrected not by the first line, but by the second.
 Signature of AVX bug is as follows:
Game crashes at and beyond these locations:
Take a seat for Corpo
Exit bar for Street Kid
After cutscene for arrival at city for Nomad   

You can do this mod yourself trivially. Simply use a hex editor on the Cyberpunk2077.exe,
and replace "55 48 81 ec a0 00 00 00 0f 29 70 e8" with "c3 48 81 ec a0 00 00 00 0f 29 70 e8". 
This simply turns the bad AVX call into a return.
DISCLAIMER: May be breaking things under the hood, but seems stable.

Quoting: SpirimintHow about an RTX2060?
I have RTX 2060. It remains to find the AMD video card.

Quoting: Spirimintwould you say it works now like amd does?
You should have a AMD and Nvidia video card of the same level to compare them.

Valve continues tweaking the new 'Proton Experimental' for Cyberpunk 2077

Quoting: 3zekielI see. For SMT, is not so rare to disable its use to be fair, not just on AMD. Some code just does not work well with it (bad load balance between both logical cores can be worst than just using the physical core). Well, it's not so common anymore though. Maybe they had some issues with zen1/zen1.5 ?

Along the way, it fixes crashes on Nvidia video cards.
