This article is real clickbait.
7%. That’s the gains on AMDs new APU. You’re going from 48 to 51 FPS.
What’s impressive to me is how efficient Valve and AMD got the custom APU that it’s taken this long to catch up. The next generational leap will be worth it, but talk to me when we’re looking at 25-50% gains. Then you’ll be looking at having a real upgrade cycle.
The secret sauce is in the whole package. SteamOS, the controls, and the form factor.
To be fair, it seems that AMD is intercepting, modifying, and injecting code. That’s not a false positive, that VAC working as intended.
What’s wild is that AMD didn’t have a conversation with Valve before releasing this. You can’t go messing with someone else’s code, particularly in such a highly competitive game, and not expect to screw some things up for players.
Good interview. They didn’t let them off the hook, but weren’t pushing an agenda either.
This is going to be a moving target that someone is going to pay big bucks to figure out in court. International laws are not up to speed on what is or isn’t ok here, and the ethical discussion is interesting to watch unfold.
That’s not how this works.
You’re free to create stories, video, of your own video game in the universe. If you chose to make that public domain and give it away for free, then good on you.
Others can create freely in this universe with their own expression, which they could charge for.
Much like how there are movies about Cinderella or Red Riding Hood which are under copyright, but the base story itself is in the public domain and free to use.
What I like about this posturing is that the big tech dogs have given up trying to fight the EU. They know that the law makers are serious about enforcing their rules, and the market/fines are too large to ignore.
They’ve moved fully over trying to circumvent the law, or get exemptions. Historically, the EU has not been kind to that either.
Here’s the actual run, no fluff: https://youtu.be/Qm9aT2p7KxI
