This is what Valve should have done while ago.

No doubt this will restrict it to playable framerates on NVIDIA cards only.

If your going to put this much work into the body realism, perhaps also just toss in VR support for people also?

Outward has 2player coop, one of the better challenging rpg games. Wonder if there is a 4player mod.

Happy XMAS everyone. This is sort of the only time of the year I allow myself to be a utter pig.

Quoting: ElectricPrismback-door for governments or hacker groups

Talk about making it political. You can just not use the HDMI LAN function, also did you know you can clearly see via router logs and such what IP's are being talked to.

If your so convinced of this stuff, you have the tools to prove it all without a doubt... Instead people spin outlandish conspiracy theories but when it comes to investigation and proof, nobody gives a shit nor can be bothered....

You could have easily stopped at, it's a potential security risk... just like using the internet is, however....

Guessing these open-source nvk drivers will never get DLSS, HDMI2.1, and possibly no RT acceleration from the RTX cores.

If they can manage to keep the same actors for it, then I think it will certainly have a chance. But if they turn it into a crappy B movie with random actors, then probably not.

I hear Avatar is the first good demo of this technology in use. The previous 2 games had some problems.

Now if we can get proper HDR support for Plasma Wayland then things will be looking up for the standard.

Then my next bucket list items needed is NVIDIA Reflex and FrameGen support.

Currently forced to use Win11 to play CP77 and Witcher-3 (assume I want RT and playable fps, )

I don't think Valve likes Australia/NZ Consumer protection laws.

For example you can't just sell someone a computer part and make its warranty expire after 12months, is by law minimal 3-5yrs.

This is something few countries do.

Top that off with a smaller market. However I think the SD would sell well in AU/NZ.

Lastly Valve owns no storage houses here so can't distribute locally and doesn't seem keen on using rented space or dealing with AusPOST for example. Shipping direct from anywhere outside of AU or NZ would cost a fortune so it must be locally distributed.

In saying that I have no idea where the SD is produced, if in China they can ship direct from there to customers in AU/NZ and I think its relatively cheap, but I suspect they only get them made there, not packaged.
