Nano user here but I still appreciate all the Vim work and it's a pity that the world lost such a talended person. RIP.

Nice but I'm surprised it took this long when Apple is doing its best to make OSX the worst possible platform for gaming.

I was thinking the same, FGLRX was a nightmare, it was so bad I would even call it a work of art because it's probably impossible to create a driver that would be worse that that crap. I escaped to Nvidia back in 2012 with pure hate against AMD, but now, 11 years later, I have returned and I'm happy that the Radeon situation is now so amazingly good. Thinking about that, I think I started losing hair around the time when FGLRX was a thing and it might not be a coincidence.

If you don't care about ray tracing, AMD is just better. The Wayland experience is completely issue-free and the extra VRAM really helps with Proton because DXVK/VKD3D usually consumes more memory. I had Nvidia for 10 years, then I carefully tried AMD and I'm not going back, thinking of buying 7800/7900 XT now. I was worried about OBS and encoding because I do let's plays and it's not so good but I found out that if I encode the video via Ryzen integrated GPU and play the game on the dedicated GPU, I can achieve excellent quality with great performance. VAAPI gets overloaded easily if a single GPU is doing both gaming and encoding but my Ryzen 7600 iGPU does a great job, I think I even achieved better quality/performance with AMD than what I had before with NVENC.

Arch Linux on my desktop, laptop and server. It just works and I don't have to deal with any issues, I've been using it since 2015 and I found it to be the easiest and most rock solid OS I've ever used. I use Syncthing to sync files across all the computers. Then there's my work laptop, my employer provides Windows 10/11 and Ubuntu, so I chose Ubuntu.

Sometimes it's really slow but besides that, it works and I believe it will take off as a successful project, Reddit can go duck itself.

Cyberpunk 2077, The Last of US, RDR2, Metro Exodus Enhanced edition, Dying Light 2.

 

Hi, does FXAA effect in VKBASALT work for anyone? I've tried it on Nvidia as well as AMD and it never worked - it either made the screen flick with wild colors (Nvidia) or freeze (AMD) until I toggled VKBASALT off using the Home key.

I never really cared but I'm trying to do something with GTA IV horrible level of aliasing and this might be the way. Is it even supposed to work?

It's been working for a long time, I've been using it since I bought my first RTX 3000 card in February 2022 until my recent switch to full-AMD.

I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.
