Valve's Steam Linux Beta About To Drop?

[psycho_driver]

Don't expect SLI to give any serious performance boost. my experience shows, decrease in performance actually.
SLI has to be supported by the game itself.(and i am talking about Linux version)
And I am sure as hell you will get it ruining on reasonable FPS.
I got 470, in wine game was working quite wel, but at some stage FPS dropped for second or two to like a few FPS, so not really usable. also over clock on those cards is not possible, at least for 470 seria for sure.

Well, I got them on the cheap from someone upgrading their SLI setup, but they're actually going in two different computers. Maybe sales x2 for Valve once it launches, depending on a few variables.

Latency benchmarks

Start benchmarking latency also, Michael. Artificial figures without vsync, and a non-low-latency enabled kernel means nothing. Everyone can compare enabling/disabling low-latency features, and see that without it, actual performance is poor.

Peace Be With You.

assholes like you will stop posting here and reading his articles? If you don't like it - you are free not to read pages from this site.

similar setup

Good timing if true, considering I have 2 new-to-me gtx 460's arriving today, 2 new 750w psu's, and a new 32" monitor I'll be using while transitioning my current tiny 27" to my wife's (ubuntu) pc. I'm pretty confident I can get whatever they release working on my gentoo box

Never. Deal with it, stop reading, or start your own linux news site and try to be less obnoxious.
