Super Shotgun from Doom 2, love the feeling when you shoot it.

What's your issue with Linux compatibility and NVIDIA?

I know the drivers are proprietary and not as good as AMD, but my only issue a year or two ago with a 3080 was VRR with multiple monitors, which is supposed to work now.

AMD tried everything to mess this launch up, but it looks like it came out alright. It's not amazing, except maybe compared to the 50-series.

Watched the HUB video and gonna watch this as well, but if cards are actually available at MSRP (should be 720€ or something in Germany I think), I might get one and give Linux a proper shot.

Same. I've played the other games with a friend and they were always a blast.

"Quietly"

They still show the old prices, but charge the new ones?

/rant Even with a press release or something, people say stuff happens quietly, just because the info wasn't beamed directly into their heads.

There's no opportunity. Intel sat on their ass for years, but NVIDIA is actually innovating. One bad-to-mediocre gen won't do anything, especially since AMD decided to sit out the high-end market this time.

They also have to follow NVIDIA, because they're just too big. If AMD introduced the RT and ML hardware six years ago, nobody would have cared, because they had like 15% market share. Now it's even worse and AMD has to fight for the scraps with Intel.

Latest prices, listed on the Microcenter site, indicate that AMD is indeed screwing it up.

I loved 0, but every time I started Kiwami my eyes just glazed over. I played a few hours of Like a Dragon, but didn't get far. Maybe some day I'll give it another shot.

For someone who doesn't really play these, but might like to, it feels like a new Yakuza game comes out every few months, which is just too much.

Looks like I was wrong, with so many different models affected, this has to be intentional.

Who knows if this always happens, but the firmware usually hides it, and like you said, people attribute the performance difference to the binning lottery (or most don't even notice).

This is just speculation on my part, but I guess they are detected, but the firmware just doesn't use all of them. I think the chips are all a bit different, with different defects, parts removed, and stuff like that.

Happened in the past already, and was solved with a vBIOS update. It will probably be the same here, unless the parts were really lasered off or something.
