It's good, but meaningless at this point since no GPU makers incorporate CEC into their GPU ASICs and they have ignored CEC thus far. I suppose that might...

I couldn't tell ya. I'm not a developer, but what I can tell you is that it only sort of works on Windows, based on what I've seen. Google's unstable...

[TheLexMachine]

AFAIK, Vega was designed long after Kaby Lake was locked down and since Intel doesn't do anything radical with their architectures - they just shrink...

[TheLexMachine]

Ask Sir Bridgeman. I think it was probably the fact that AMD was in a bit of a crisis and had to focus on the important things. Technically speaking,...

[TheLexMachine]

Incorrect. Intel has been using hybrid decoding for years, because Google had no reference decoder hardware design until 2014, which made hardware support...

[TheLexMachine]

AMD uses the video decoding functions and GPU shaders to decode VP9, a hybrid process. There is no hardware decoder on their ASIC at this time.

[TheLexMachine]

Sort of. As I said before, Nvidia ended VDPAU development at the end of 2015, which was before the Pascal cards launched. They didn't make an official...

[TheLexMachine]

Yes, VDPAU was terminated without official announcement, at the end of 2015. Nvidia never got it working on the newer cards, so VDPAU is incomplete and...

Porting AAA games to Linux isn't really practical. Most Linux users don't have the hardware for those games and since many Linux enthusiasts also prefer...

[TheLexMachine]

What's going on with the Ubuntu GPU PPA? I just gave it a look and there's nothing there except a bunch of empty directories and odd files. Looks like...

[TheLexMachine]

I don't think there is any real-world scenario with modern hardware - anything from the last 10 years or so - where a user would have to work within a...

[TheLexMachine]

AIR is an off-shoot of Flash and is more of a replacement for Shockwave than Flash itself, because it's used to make media-oriented applications that...

[TheLexMachine]

Flash would have died earlier had Hulu made the switch to HTML5, but they have stuck with Flash since the beginning due to the extensive framework of...

[TheLexMachine]

Does KDE still have that damned Nvidia VSync bug where it works sometimes or not at all and usually not through enabling it the Nvidia control panel or...

[TheLexMachine]

Comparing the 710 to the 1030 is just nonsense. You have to compare the 730 to the 1030 and if you did, you'd see that the 1030 is more efficient and...

[TheLexMachine]

Nouveau is nowhere near ready for newer cards and they have done nothing to get NVDECODE - VDPAU is sort-of officially dead, according to an Nvidia developer...

[TheLexMachine]

The 700 and 1000 low-end and mid-range cards are priced about the same, so nobody in their right mind would even consider the remaining stock of the older...

[TheLexMachine]

All GeForce 1000-series cards use GDDR5, with some using GDDR5X. The DDR used in past budget cards was the older type (DDR2/DDR3) that is no longer an...
