If only someone talented from NVIDIA would move over to AMD to help with their GPU's. Things would be dandy, however I suspect NVIDIA would have some...

Pretty good results considering the 8700 has a clear clock advantage. If AMD ever releases cpu's with similar clock rates they will dominate easily.

[theriddick]

My Ryzen 1600 only goes up to 3200mhz for some reason, the first core at least should goto 3600 but that doesn't seem to happen, not sure why. Might need...

I don't see a solution happening unless someone writes an entirely new WM for KDE. Kwin is a lost cause IMO.

[theriddick]

Had to stop using KDE because of how unfriendly kwin is to nvidia cards, had games unable to detect screen resolution, mouse not obeying designated screen...

One day some paleontologists will dig up the vega cards, and find those missing TFOPS, possibly they got lost due to some extreme erosion event within...

[theriddick]

I bought this for $23aud from somewhere with all the DLC. Have not tried it yet (still downloading), and the fact I have a new Manjaro install which only...

[theriddick]

Yep but its only something like %15 better vulkan performance on NVIDIA atm, it use to be allot more but AMD is making progress. I'm waiting for a 1080ti...

[theriddick]

Wouldn't be surprised if the new videocards from NVIDIA start at $1000usd or TOP end prices and NOT replace the current 1000 series. If only we had a...

[theriddick]

It kills performance on DXVK apparently, not sure what the issue is there.

[theriddick]

Might perform about the same on NVIDIA Vulkan driver since its still a bit faster then RADV atm.

2017 and 2018 was HARD for the PC gamer...

[theriddick]

Can't get NVIDIA drivers working on 4.16.1, and I don't think they worked on 4.16 either....

[theriddick]

Isn't Nouveau in good shape for 400/500 series cards? with proper firmware access and reclocking?

[theriddick]

The only way DXVK could be made to be faster for some games is if the threaded workload was handled better within Vulkan. There are plenty of DX11 games...

[theriddick]

Is this what Trump was going on about back then? good to see he supports Linux/Vulkan, I think....

[theriddick]

DXVK could be a game changer for Linux.
Most people don't care for politics and rather just be able to PLAY their games at decent performance level...

[theriddick]

They probably will, however I wonder, will developers be able to use OptiX on windows with Vulkan api? or has MS paid them not to do that?

...

[theriddick]

Price / Performance / Power-usage comparison against 'options' would be interesting,.

[theriddick]

Try -nosandbox or was it --no-sandbox as a temp solution until its fixed....

[theriddick]

Multi core GPU's would be expensive, and completely cut out the small form factor market. Also the heat involved with cooling such a card could put people...
