my charger is fine, but could you pet the cat for me? 🥺

neat!

Unrelated but is your thing mendicant bias?

valuable context - thank you

People who love being tracked, these are for you:

Candy crush

(The Room can’t be scanned automatically because it’s paid)

IQ Arena - not too bad but not amazing

Mindboo

BrainOut

Math Riddles also not so bad

the fact that valve went and provided official support for a popular, third party, higher res display is pretty wild.

For phantom liberty? I don’t really see how it would be. Seems to have run fine on my 5800x3d + nv21 at 1440p

If you intend to keep this platform for a while longer then for sure grab a Vermeer x3d. I think you’ll feel a pretty decent improvement in 1% and .1% lows

With that said, I’m not sure if cyberpunk in particular will benefit too much from this. If that’s your primary motivator for upgrading, then maybe hold off until you want to move on to a DDR5 (or later) platform?

Glad it works for you. Couch Co-op feeling like such a rarity these days.

Fair enough, appreciate the insight

Ooc, does big picture mode on a Linux distro satisfy such a requirement? I’m not sure if you have have a system start into this mode on Linux, I’m fairly sure it can be done on Windows.

I’m also not sure if BPM on Linux has the same level of integration with power management controls and HUD etc, but I’d imagine it’s mostly there?

will need to check it out. Thank you for the tip

Oh neat. Hope it works for your needs. Let us know how it goes.

Have been keeping an eye on https://fcast.org/ but haven’t gotten involved yet.

Since this is GCN based, you may be able to use the newer AMDGPU kernel driver? I’m not sure about that specific SKU, however. I remember that using AMDGPU on, for example, Hawaii (like the R9 290) was particularly finicky

Wonderful! I don’t suppose you’ve also checked out echopoint nova? the demo got another small update for this next fest

Thoroughly enjoyed this. You may also enjoy severed steel.

AV1 decode is supported on the RTX 3000 series, encode + decode in the RTX 4000 series

For Intel Arc, AV1 encode + decode support is present on all Arc Alchemist GPUs,

For AMD, AV1 decode is on RX 6000 series, encode + decode on all RX 7000 series GPUs

As someone else has recommended, a low end Intel Arc alchemist GPU is pretty great for stuff like Jellyfin, very low price to entry for gfx accelerated AV1 transcoding.

For your points against:

The OpenGL UMD was completely re-engineered. This premiered with the 22.7.1 release, so nearly two years ago. AMD now have the most performant, highest quality OpenGL UMD in the industry, which is particularly relevant for workstation use cases (where OpenGL remains the backbone of WS graphics).

PhysX is proprietary, I don’t know what can be done about that, but your point is valid here, though given the rise of other physics engines at play, I don’t really know if this is a big hit? Do we really want further consolidation in game systems?

AMDs approach to ray acceleleration has always favoured die area efficiency up until now, though I can totally understand your disappointment with the performance in that area. That said, the moment I really care about RTRT in gaming is when it’s no longer contingent on the raster model. reflections, shadows and GI are nice and all, but we’re still not really there yet.

I dont know how GCN was such a terrible arch since it was the basis of an entire console generation. An argument could be made about how its GPGPU design may have hindered it at gaming on desktops but it had matured extremely well over time with driver upgrades, despite their given price + perf targets at release. Aside from that (and related to point 1), RDNA UMDs are all PAL based. I’m not sure what you’re alluding to with this? Could you please elaborate?

Your final remark is untrue (FMF, AL+, gfx feature interop, mic ANS, a plethora of GPUOpen technologies) but I will forgive you not keeping up with a vendor’s tech if you don’t actively use their products.

That’s a fair point. I’m using the first party power supply but I could experiment with several others.
