Now....about those drivers

 

[Mownoc]

I thought the steam deck app worked on other Linux distributions? Might be wrong there. I'm using it on Ally fine with SteamOS.

Still, good news.

Now update the android app so it can have 10bit colour and HDR.

 

[Durin]

All I care about is that it's a sign of other app support to come.

I'd like Nvidia Broadcast on Linux, because their AI stuff is just better than anything else to remove echoes/backround noise.

Otherwise, just better driver performance for DX12 + ray-tracing.

Wait...these streaming services already have limited playtime now! OMG! Who wants this shit?

 

[Dr.D00p]

They wouldn't be doing this if they didnt see it as part of the post consumer hardware World that the plebes will only be able to afford.

Eventually it'll become $1 per hour.

Me. Geforce Now is awesome.

Streaming is renting. Since the hardware price went up, the price for renting that hardware also goes up.

It's like housing prices going up, indirectly increases rent.

**It's like housing prices going up AND you can only live in it 100 hours a month.

100%. At this point we have made the full circle back to arcade machines.

Yeah, but imagine you renting something for a month and than the landlord tells you can only use it on weekends.

Windows is cooked and Nvidia knows this.

Agree. People here hate it, but as a Mac user is a blessing being able to play Bg3 on my MacBook Air

BG3 is available for mac since forever.

Isn't that what happened to Venice? Basically it became a tourist trap and the locals are forced out.

I know man but my m2 doesn't run it half as good as GeForce now

 

[DirtInUrEye]

Linux though... doesn't this new support kinda suggest the opposite?

 

[pudel]

I know man but my m2 doesn't run it half as good as GeForce now

And yr best solution to overcome this problem was a subscription service?

 

[Poppinfresh]

I just don't get the 100-hour cap.

Can you pay extra to play more than 100 hours in a month? If not, it seems like Nvidia is leaving money on the table.

 

[proandrad]

I wish nvidia would support Linux.
