      So it's just a gratuitous aggression that profits to no one. Hey, how you can ask people to subscribe if you display ads even to those who subscribe to not get them?

      Remember that ads are aggressions, nothing justifies aggressions, but the worst ones are the gratuitous ones.

      You failed to ensure your readers will not get ads if they subscribe.
      You're complaining about how I crop a screenshot for an article?

        Aggressions?
        I can understand "annoying", but reacting so bad to a screenshot with a couple ads is unjustified.

          Shh! Don't you see he is boosting his own ads viewcount this way?

            you need a class on micro aggressions.

              After cropping apply some DoF so we can focus on console

                Wasn't Vulkan supposed to be faster than OpenGL? Running at half the frame rate does not do much to recommend it...

                  Vulkan allows better utilizing multiple cpu cores, and reduces cpu overhead. It doesn't automatically mean things are faster, it just means the potential to be faster is there.

                  If you can't use the GPU at full potential, all the saved CPU cycles are useless, and right now there's a lot of optimizations that the Vulkan driver doesn't yet use.

                    Right now I'm using Manjaro and their kernels since 4.6 have the relevant option enabled.

                    You can check by running this command in a terminal: zgrep -I "CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_CIK" /proc/config.gz

                    If the result is `CONFIG_DRM_AMDGPU_CIK=y` then your kernel should work, otherwise it may take a little more effort. What's your OS?

                      Radv is not finished and certainly doesn't take all optimization opportunities yet.

                      This is a side project by two developers that is only a couple of weeks old. That it can fully run Dota 2 and The Talos Principle (minus 4x and 8x AA) is truly amazing.
