I think modern gamers are spoiled, and many of the most popular review sites push the agenda that unless you're getting 300+ fps then your 2 year-old hardware sucks and you just need to upgrade to this *sponsored item*. It's surprising just how well old hardware can run modern games. Until recently I was running a 12 year-old CPU (Intel 3960X, 6 core) on a X99 motherboard with a GTX 970. It ran every single game I threw at it, although obviously it was starting to show its age in a few games such as BG3 and struggled with its 4Gb video card ram. But as a kid or teenager I would have LOVED a system that could perform as well as this.
True. I have the feeling that computer hardware has become so fast that there is little software that can make use of it. At least for home use. Whether my video is rendered in 6 or 12 minutes is not that important to me. And if a game is good, the resolution doesn't matter. Of course 2160p and 120 FPS are better than 900p and 30 FPS, but a good game is and remains a good game. I also think that older hardware will have a slightly longer lifespan with Linux due to the lower overhead.
Just bought a 1660 super for 55€ last week. Sadly my i7 8700 cant handle it good with 165hz/fps the stutters are crazy and the 1660 s chilling with 30percent
I have an RX 580 2048SP, which is basically an RX 570. It can play most recent games at least at 1080p 30 FPS, or maybe 900p. You just gotta tweak the graphics a bit. This card is immortal LOL Also, great video, keep up the great work :)
Thanks :-) AMD has dropped the driver support for Polaris on Windows. This will probably make these cards even cheaper in the future. On Linux the drivers shouldn't be a big problem thanks to Mesa RADV. This will probably be the GTX 750ti of the Linux world.
Very good. I've been using Wayland for years and the only problem I had was the lack of VRR, but that now works with Wayland too. But I don't think there is feature parity with X yet, so it might not be such a good experience for everyone.
I'm using Wayland on Fedora with both AMD CPU and GPU without significant issues. Sometimes a new kernel patch broke some games, but I can easily reboot into the previous kernel version until a fix arrives.
Great videos ! Love your channel man. Keep going

I could not have said it better myself!

They also did on Linux for amdgpu-pro drivers. But let's be real, who uses these anyway? Mesa is top
interesting. how's wayland getting along with radeon ?
