simple, do games w Intel announces XeSS 2 with new Frame Generation and Low Latency tech

The first XeSS is very underrated IMO. I found that it generally looks a lot better than what FSR had at the time.

Do these cards have good open-source Linux drivers?

mox,

The comments I’ve read from current-generation Arc owners have given the impression that their Linux drivers are catching up to AMD. Here’s the latest info:

kippinitreal,

As an aside knowing most companies working in embedded technologies usually work in, or have strong aspects in Linux. Why then are Linux drivers so difficult to come by? Lack of customers seems unlikely since they mostly have everything ready, right? Or is it cost cutting to avoid lengthy QA on another platform? That would be easy to sidestep by giving a no-warranty driver version?

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble,

Most of the demand is for Windows. So if your choice is to spend resources (money) where demand is, or hope that you can possibly create demand where there isn’t any currently.

doggle,

Been a while but I played around with the a770 in Arch for a few months. It didn’t play nice with proton and even native games were hit and miss. Better support from Intel than nvidia gives, but it’s a new platform and Linux development was definitely taking a back seat to the windows drivers which were also a buggy mess.

And basically nobody had the cards so if something didn’t work your options were to give up or become a computer graphics programming wizard and fix it all yourself from scratch.

To answer the question: not really, no. The drivers themselves may have been fine, but who knows how any given software will handle a brand new GPU architecture.

I can’t wait for these to be EOLed due to the exec shakeup.

golli,

Isn’t this the same architecture that is also in their iGPUs? That should help keep them motivated to improve drivers even if they lose interest in dGPUs.

If this turns out to be a solid performer, the price could make it the best midrange value since AMD’s Polaris (RX 480). Let’s hope Intel’s build quality has improved since the A770.

Sick. I got an a770le when they launched. Buggy AF, but not bad performance when it decided to work. It currently lives as a dedicated av1 encoder in a Plex server

I just bought an a750 honestly I’m loving it. So far I’ve only had issues in Skyrim with the shadows, and vermintide 2.

How these go Linux? Vroom or doom?

thedeadwalking4242,

I believe vroom, intel usually has good Linux support even having their own optimized distribution

Edit: it may have trouble with older titles

rickyrigatoni,

I love playing older titles…

This looks insanely good.

SnotFlickerman, do games w GTA 6 will have a 'significant online mode' to generate revenue for years into the future

Will the netcode be as crappy as in the original GTA Online? Sources say yes.

proti,

GTA Online was/is peer to peer. Imagine a world where they chose to have dedicated lobby servers…

deranger,

When you say peer to peer, does this mean every player communicates with every other player, or does one person act as the “server”?

Ghoelian,

I believe one person acts as the host. That’s why sometimes it’ll kick you out of a session and start loading again, that means the host has left and someone else needs to take over.

oxideseven,

Oh good this is here, I don’t have to post it.

That’s not a headline. That’s like the science community releasing a headline that Earth has been confirmed to be an oxygen rich environment.

Confirming obvious things is still important. Everyone knows a PS6 will exist but it’ll be huge news when it’s official

@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

this is not huge news.

To me this is more like, the playstation 6 will have online connectivity.

echodot,

Well technically we’ve had it confirmed all the way up to the PS9. Which presumably will release alongside somehow the Xbox X because Microsoft can’t name a product to save their life

Kelly,

The source the Tweektown article is quoting also says:

Anticipation is so high that some competing game publishers are waiting as long as possible to commit to their release dates for the fall, according to people familiar with their deliberations who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly. The publishers want to see whether GTA 6 will make its deadline or slip into 2026, these people say, and they’re determined to keep their own games far, far away.

bloomberg.com/…/-gta-6-release-date-will-decide-m…

This is probably more interesting, that some upcoming games which don’t have release dates may be waiting for this before they commit to a schedule is somewhat noteworthy.

We all figured that. The question is will there be any additional single player content.

Oh joy. What an important cultural contribution that will be.
