All I’ve seen from reviewers were praising Intel’s Windows drivers for quickly addressing issues. Intel has been transparent in regards to their drivers....

I thought Linux was a kernel, OS developers can use it in which ever they want since it’s open source. If it doesn’t fit your needs there’s plenty...

Immutable isn’t new, macOS has been immutable for a while, same with Android and SteamOS for the steam deck. I’m currently using Solus which is stateless...

[WannaBeOCer]

Seems like a waste of $75 a year on power to run an ancient inefficient GPU when an iGPU can run circles around it.

Edit: Just want to be...

I bought a 6 core Core i7 970 for $600 in 2010, then a 6 core Core i7 5820K for $380 in 2014. Last I checked now AMD’s the one charging $4000+ for ThreadRipper...

What shift? AMD64 slowed down the adoption of 64-bit apps since it was backwards compatible.

It wasn’t until Apple dropped 32-bit support...

[WannaBeOCer]

I use Solus and stick with their LTS kernel. It’s a rolling release but they aren’t bleeding edge like other rolling releases. The Nvidia driver is...

I’m aware of translator bugs, I specifically mentioned driver bugs. I’ve submitted a few bugs myself to Dxvk/vkd3d-proton. Some of them ended up driver...

Gross misconception? I can understand if you play older titles sure that can get you by but new titles require driver updates to address driver bugs/performance...

No surprise, NVIDIA’s proprietary driver stack performs great. Switched from AMD to Nvidia in 2018 and haven’t had any issues. Not having to rely...

What do you mean they don’t? Without them Vulkan wouldn’t have had ray tracing as quickly as it did. Nvidia submitted VK_NV_ray_tracing which is the...

GPU pass through works for VMs. Just like AMD SR-IOV is limited to their server GPUs. Their server GPUs are cheaper than their competitors and don’t...

[WannaBeOCer]

When it comes to compute the A770 is definitely a better option than Radeon VII for FP16 but Intel's consumer-focused Arc GPUs do not feature hardware-accelerated...

1. Not required when task are accelerated with fp16, Titan RTX, RTX 5000, 6000 and 8000
2. Again memory bandwidth isn’t needed especially when...

The RTX 20 series can be had for peanuts and runs circles around Vega 20 in regards to AI....
