Cable Matters sells plenty of different DP->HDMI 2.1 adapters that work with VRR. The main issue here is that you won’t get CEC if you use those.

Fun fact, all of the audio codes are proprietary too. You won’t find a HDMI surround sound splitter on Aliexpress. Say no to HDMI, say no to E-ARC.

Running 64-bit XP was actually kind of rare

Yeah, unless valve starts restricting root access when secure boot is enabled, you’re probably right.

The article only mentions TPM not 3rd party modules. I’m guessing the idea is that you will have to run an approved kernel.

Obligatory “ass play isn’t homosexual, and many gay men don’t do anal”

Eh, don’t insult people if they’re willing to learn.

I just want your half

Oh definitely. I have a large TV because I understand that. I don’t know anyone else with a TV that actually sits that close though. Most people are gaming like 4-5 meters away.

Depends on Tarriffs. Unfortunately a $500 PC in 2024 can be like an $800 PC now due to Trumpflation.

I mean the Steam deck can’t max out most games, and it’s been wildly successful.

If you have 20/20 vision, you need to sit 2 meters away from a 55" to be able to tell the pixels apart. You might see some improvement from 4K but it wont be that significant. If you are 3-4 meters away, you need a bigger TV if you want to start thinking about gaming in 4K.

The majority of gamers game at 1080p. Both on PCs, and especially on consoles. Most people’s TVs aren’t even big enough for people with average eyesight to see a difference between 1080p and 2160p.

So the question to ask is if the steam deck is too slow, because the steam machine at 1080p will solidly beat the steam deck at 800p.

If you want something faster for desktop, just build a matx mid tower with a 9070xt. It’ll cost double, but you’ll be able to game in 2160p.

Steam survey is monthly too and most people don’t have two computers

Source on RDNA3 on Linux not doing FSR4? Linux drivers are far ahead of Windows drivers.

I swear proprietary software companies make their software intentionally obtuse so they can sell cloud features and support contracts

Theyre gonna lock me up for womenslaughter the way I’m slaying that thang
