The entire industry has hit a wall and NVIDIA is insisting on coming up with infinite problems and selling solutions. They are trying their damnest to effectively take control and manipulate the market in their favor with these BS frameworks that are hardware locked.

Games are very lazily optimized for anything other than NVIDIA these days and we can look forward to the trend continuing now that AMD and Intel are having a very tough time competing. A popular theory is that everyone only like competition cause it makes their grand green gpu a little cheaper.

TL:DR is that NVIDIA can do whatever they want while players and developers follow blindly because neither Intel nor AMD match their market share. Its kinda like linux vs windows in a way. We are witnissing NVIDIA attempting to takeover the gpu market similar to microsofts early strategies.


Well I would have preferred it to be used as a stopgap for now leading to other discoveries like this proton battery. Cause it seems like lithium will be in use for another 10 years at this rate. The whole situation reminds me of graphene and how that is barely making any advancement either.


What happened to sodium batteries or whatever, I thought that was the next step like 5 years ago.


Steam Controller 2 and Deckard are the only things I want from them



God I wish all the Patapon games would be remastered + sent to pc



Good keep wasting money Ubisoft maybe one day you will finally go bankrupt having to sell beyond good and evil to someone who actually cares and remove your launcher from our games.



Decent, for now until ROCM & ZLUDA improve. I use NixOS and run my AI stuff using docker containers as its the easiest way imo because of how fucked up the dependencies are for ROCM especially.

Basically to get AMD working for this stuff right now is to make sure certain versions of ROCM for certain versions of projects interacting with certain versions of pytorch all like each other. The most dependency hell of all dependency hells.

So most projects have a hell of a time supporting ROCM so you must use alternative forks mostly, and even if there is a ROCM version it is so hardly used that no one knows if it works or if it doesnt half the time. I will say you will have the EASIEST time by far if you use a 7900 XT because most things are built to support that card. Otherwise good luck. Get used to using environment variables such as:

HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=11.0.0 (Or 10.3.0 if that one doesnt work. I use 11.0.1, these are codes for GPU’s supported by ROCM incase yours isnt supported)

TL:DR - its all a big mess right now but it does work if you fuck with it a bunch, I got my 7800 XT to work nicely with Ollama + OpenWebUI for text generation. For stable diffusion its definitely a shit show atleast for my preferred UI Invoke AI. Doesnt work at all it only uses my CPU (also AMD so maybe some fuckery.) However I dont regret it as AMD is truly the best especially on Linux but definitely not for AI as it currently stands.


Already bought mine months ago and have been enjoying it, not so much the ROCM side of things but eh.


Damn ubisoft might just be the worst gaming company ever created at this point if they have employees crying about not being able to buy that second boat or beachfront property cause gamers have had enough of it


Me and the boys cashing out in the finals while this burns



I switched to smart launcher and bought lifetime cause I feel like its actually a really great option I never heard of or tried until I stopped using nova. Lawnchair is good too but for now im sticking with smart launcher.


weird? more like predatory and monopolistic. “everything” apps should not be a thing, doing one thing and doing it well is a thing of the past I guess.


When will PC gaming heal and move on from Epic exclusives god damn it, didnt enough of us boycott this practice? Fuck Epic.


Been waiting for this… I might have to financially support them for this tbh.


This is upsetting. But atleast we have Paralives and Vivaland.




I used to have the Razr+ and downgraded to the normal Razr for this reason. Didnt use the front screen as much as I thought I would anyway, and it is very fragile. If you watch a teardown the back of the screen has space for it to break easier.

When google eventually makes the Pixel Flip (hopefully) thats when you will see better support for the extra screen because as of right now that entirely depends on closed source manufacture dependent software from motorola and samsung.
