Quoting: AnonymousOn lower end cards maybe give troubles because coolers, power components, heat sink not be adequate for overclocking

But on higher cards (as yours for example) maybe is possible because coolers, power components and heat sink is more adequate for overclocking, and show many custom coolers and heat sinks of vga manufacturers for overclocking

And maybe appears better results on pc titles when high gpu use (metro maybe???) with your higher settings

^_^

the problem is... i really havent seen a game that doesnt run max with my relatively mid end 660Ti
on linux. that is ofc and at 1080p. Metro LL runs above 40 as well.

and yeah low end cards have cheaper coolers and power components.. thats true... but oc gain there is usualy better cause those cards perform poorly and even small step in clocks gives something...

i wont probably OC much though... doesnt give the needed boost anyway and when the card is getting older i will get a newer anyway.

but those who have weaker GPUs and are pretty much on the edge of droping below 30 fps for games, small boost can help to make this experience better.

FarCry 3 in Linux. Won't happen, but would be so adorable!

@OZSeaford that can have various reasons, and is no indication that it won't come at all and they only dabbled in it doing a test for cross platform Witcher3, but a good sign that it's not close. Could have been a mistake by them, could be that they just pulled it back for the SteamBox release, could be that they found fundamental problems which need fixing first and require a new image (which is very unlikely, since that would require that new model exports would be necessary, which is very unlikely considering their models work on OpenGL). We never shall forget that those kind of publishers can put that things online themselves.

Quotethen back-tracked and requested it to not have the tag

I could have told you that. These people live off of the fact that it seems like an honest recommendation and the surreptitious advertising effect it brings. That's the whole point of this kind of con. I have never seen any of them agreeing on any tags or marker denoting the paid nature of the post; that would destroy the reason to do this in the first place.

In Germany, the "Pressekodex", the ethical/judical principles governing journalism, even includes a strict separation of advertisment and editorial articles. In addition, there's laws regulating competition which can apply there, possibly even EU-wide. Of course, whether that's applicable and enforceable for personal blogs and sites like gamingonlinux.com is anybody's guess. IANAL.

In either case, I thank you for your integrity. But looking at the title and teaser visible in my RSS feed, I wonder if that poker site was as legit as those casino sites advertised in spam mails. Brrr.

EDIT: In fact, I'd like it if you could name and shame that site...

I quite enjoyed the first game and would recommend you continue if you enjoyed the gameplay at all. It had a slightly interesring story that made you think throughout. One of the few games I can proudly say I actually beat.

Quoting: SabunCryEngine 3? So, that means that not only are they bringing CryEngine 4 (or simply labelled CryEngine now) to Linux, but they are bringing CryEngine 3 as well?

Doesn't this mean CryEngine 3 games can now be ported to Linux? (Star Citizen, Sniper 2, Crysis 3?)

That is correct :)

Nice. I hope X Edgers doenst wait so long like they did for the 334.
Hopefulle the bug from 334 is gone wich makes my Desktop unusable. Graphic glitches everywhere, only Downgrade to 331 did help.

Quoting: PlayXPeople have to stop thinking, that everything in the www is for free.

they shouldn't browse porn or at least they should use separate browser for that ;)

if you only browse normal sites, adds are not even close to annoying. not to mention you support the site. but, browsing porn without addblock, that might be much more tricky, lol

@PlayX I haven't tracked how many people are blocking our adverts no, not sure if I want to know either!

Do you have a statistic of your daily views with and without adblocker?
If I look at my YouTube Analytics I can see, that round about 2/3 of my views cant be monetized.
So I can say there is a lot of money run through my fingers.
And the user has nothing to pay for this stuff.
People have to stop thinking, that everything in the www is for free.
Behind every Website, every Blog and every Video are some people that spend their time to bring you the coolest news and the hottest videos.
If you dont want to spend them hard Dollars, that is ok. I personally have only spend money to a few things that i realy like.
But click on an Ad is not a big deal. And if a website is not overpowered with Ads, then it is not a problem for me to put it on my whitelist.

Quoting: Guest"Thanks for understanding. If you aren't understanding then do everyone a favour and don't comment."
If you want to make money out of GoL and/or get donations, then being aggressive like that might not be the best thing to do.

That is NOT aggressive. That is me telling people very clearly I don't want idiotic comments about this.

Quoting: edgley

Quoting: jdubSince when is M&amp;amp;B AAA?

Have they even speculated on porting it?

First off, sorry about that, M&B is NOT an AAA game, I just got carried away...that game is so epic that I oftne think of it as an AAA title. M&B 2 isn't even being considered for Linux so I think it is quite fair to say that it will never grace our platform...

Quoting: Anonymous@OZSeaford Witcher2 was lately pulled off steam for linux again - no linux support and no content download anymore.

Oh no! Still, let's not dismiss the idea completely, they may have needed to replace the image? I don't really know how it works...


Finally, to the person who was wondering what makes an AAA title, I would say that Skyrim and (Frontiers illustrate the different approaches brilliantly. Skyrim is a massive enterprise, that had the backing of a small army of developers and artists. The result is a game with polish (A few laughs from the assembly as a few bugs come to mind), with good voice acting, a good graphics engine, unique art assets and a powerful narrative. Frontiers on the other hand is the work of 2 individuals, featuring a large open world, which has been procedurally generated, art assets that have been bought from a store, no voice acting, no . The man hours put into the game are probably only a fraction of what has gone into Skyrim.
you would say, then why bother to play Frontiers? Why not stick to Skyrim. In my view, Skyrim is great...yet there is something missing. It all feels really rehearsed, there is a feeling of deja vu, if you have played the other Elder Scrolls Games. Frontiers on the other hand, really tries to be different, and that is why I will probably enjoy playing it. AAA studios don't like to bring out games that are slightly out of the norm, as the ROI is not assured. COD12 will be released, but like the recent iPhones and Galaxies, they will only be iterations of previous games. Indie games fill that niche area of experimental games. The danger of course is that Indies sometimes get carried away by their ambitions, and the games lose focus. I still marvel at the mad ideas that have been floated around and have actually been put into a game.
Here is a good development blog from an indie perspective that I recommend you follow: Clockwork Empire

Edit - wow, it really reads like the ramblings of an old drunkard, but I swear I have not had a drop of alcohol. I am just really tired after a long dauy at work. Time for me to play I guess.

It's really sad.

Honestly I do not get why companies think that someone saying "I got paid to preview this game by this company" is somehow a bad thing. Guys, you wanted him to have a look at it, write about it and compensated for his time.

As long as the article is not a blatant "buy me, buy me" ad, it's all fine.

Hmm, maybe you could try setting a different download mirror in the Steam options?
