Only Intel could pull something so silly.
I mean I have had hardware that required me to boot into windows to flash. But requiring an Intel CPU ?
Hopefully that is something the consider changing if they plan to still make a second...
This is very interesting... also hilarious seeing poor Steve get lost. emmm hmmm ah ya ya ok emhm I see ah so your saying ahhh em hm
I can just imagine the conversation with the off camera NV PR person after. I can imagine the PR guy pissing himself saying well you asked us to bring you a...
Perhaps its just me but I am hearing so much BS. lol
I believe I just heard them try and convince customers that "fine wine" for Intel will be a thing.
They have had this silicon for over a year.... and internally if they haven't already moved on to working on Gen B they are probably screwed.

Well it does require physical access.... but anyone wanna take bets on how long before someone takes this and finds a way to exploit it remotely. lol Intel can't catch a break...

Looks like both of the big anti cheats that where messing up proton compatibility should be smooth out fairly soon.
This should fold in the few top 10/100 steam titles that where no goes.
Thought about posting...

Haven't seen anyone mention here today.
Well we can't escape annoying targeted ads anywhere else that isn't *nix... that they crashed 11 even in beta does make me laugh.

This doesn't sound good for CDprojectR. Sony offering full refunds and removing the game.

Grain of Salt obviously. But it if true its possible... AMD is going to win RT. Again if this isn't BS NV looks to be behind unless they use their DLSS.
If AMD ends up with a DLSS type setting...

No one else seems to have posted it. if your an owner of a 470/480 570/580/590 the newest windows driver adds Radeon image sharpening.
Been messing with it on a RX 570 and its pretty impressive. For sure nice in games with...
So it seems Ubuntu moving away from 32bit is going to mean no more (ubuntu) recommendations from Steam and Valve.
Would be nice to know more about their long term plans.
Personaly I would love to see them start paying some Solus developers... and put some of their own people on it.
SteamOS is...
For all us Linux gamers out there... some folks may have missed that Valve released Proton 4.2 yesterday.

I know most people that use Linux have already likely read this. But if not.
Impressive Day one Linux performance. Right between 2080 and 2080ti. Not bad at all for day one. Running on a 100% open source driver stack...
So for xmas this year I built my teen daughter a new PC. Mainly we wanted her to be able to play with her digital pics from her Canon Rebal dslr (nothing fancy still dealing with big raw files the under powered little HP laptop she has wasn't really enough) Her grand parents bought her a new...

IBM Linux. Considering how closely they have been tied with Red Hat and RHEL this makes some sense.
Wonder if IBM focuses completely on the server side. Or if for that sort of money they have plans beyond just the server...

I have to say, I see no reason for myself to use it as a host OS, as capable as it can be for some. I would rather just use the host OS that supports everything I do on a daily basis without having to watch update screens for at times hours, or slow my machine down to nothing with virus...
