Cool,cool. My windows 💩 filter is full. I have had enough. I only use pro on my builds. By the end of this year, I may not be using windows at all. Linux is going so well. I don't play anything with kernel level anti-cheat, so not a consideration for me. Canceled all my streaming, including game...

If I don't notice it, then it doesn't matter to me. :D It is why I don't use any RT other than reflections unless there is no way around it e.g. Indy Jones. Not being dismissive, merely pragmatic. I doubt anything I see or read will dampen my enthusiasm for Linux. 11 has gotten worse and worse...

In general I agree. For my use case however, Nvidia is not even in the conversation. I am now spending 95% of my time Linux gaming. AMD graphics is the better solution for me, ease of use in particular. Also, I looked up a Linux gaming performance comparison a few months back. AMD showed a much...

I bought a couple month old used Red Devil 9070XT last year. It may as well have been open box. No complaints with it. I always use a frame cap, so I stick with the silent bios. I did manage to run out of vram using the same settings as my 7900XTX in Spider-Man 2. I play for hours at a time, so...

Paying $350 for 8GB in 2026. That's a hard no from me dawg. It'll probably be consider a hot deal in a few months. The dark times have returned. Linux and indie gaming is on the rise, I kid you not. Younger gamers with little cheddar grow weary of corpo greed. But not just the cash strapped...

It is estimated they moved 200K more copies than expected after the game awards. Nice bump regardless of the takesie bascksies. With over five million total copies sold, I think everyone involved has made some serious bank.

They would have lost their butts trying to sell them at a competitive price. I think a rep already said they may as well be wrapping the cards in money. And that was before things went sideways.

Good stuff! Arc has come a long way in a relatively short time. I had to disable the iGPU on a 5700G, to use it with my A750 a couple of years back. As they did not play well together.

As a gamer, this^ And the ARC B770 retail. Launch coming after the other vendors raise prices. So the profit margins do not need to be razor-thin in order to hit a competitive price point.

Yup.

It's already happening. It is not a major shift, yet. The number of new games playtime by Steam users was around 14% in 2025. I expect it will be single digits in 2026 the way things are going. Some of that is due to game length, more of it is gamers not buying the titles. Different dynamics...

They have laid off, what, 40K+ employees? Sold off assets and taken on private equity partners. Taken money from U.S. taxpayers. Watched their market share continue to decline. Continuing to support old iGPUs is a wasted investment of manpower/money. They have much, much, bigger fish to fry.

This. Never leave money on the table.

If you sell it for $600 in the next 12 months, consider it pre-sold and just let me know when you are ready. AKA, I call dibs. 😁 I certainly haven't. Upscaling works so well starting from 4K, providing a higher frame cap.

Watch how fast millions of us jump ship if they try to force us to use subscription cloud gaming. Indie games will absolutely explode in popularity and sales. They will make games to run on the hardware we are already using. The quantity and quality will skyrocket. Do you want indie to take...

Marvel Midnight Suns - $9 Got this for free from Epic. As I wrote on AT, had no idea if I'd like this game. Never tried the turn based playing cards genre before. Ended up loving it. I've done 2 full playthroughs and unlocked all of the Midnight Suns costumes for each superhero.

Agreed, the potential buyers pool is looking to be pretty shallow. Yup. Upgraders already on the platform are going to be the biggest demographic, more than likely. Of course, if both are basically paper launches, perhaps we won't see the previous levels of shortages and price scalping.

LMK if you do it, I'll be your first subscriber and Patreon. Your kids are free labor, you know? :LOL: Superfluous. I have already provided so much evidence that we have reached the point of

I have considered it. But it involves some level of work, the worst 4 letter word of them all. :LOL:

No sir. I have not messed with power limits, still using OOB settings with latest bios. I literally wrote "over 200W" and "you" Pay attention :p Joking of course.
