Quoting: XilLiam, 26% of the windows systems are still windows XP, so no, people don't update their drivers, for the masses out there windows auto-update and a virus scanner is as far as they get, so I think he is right.

As for the rest of his comments, his lack of insight says enough I guess

but we are talking about gamers.. probably 10 gamers in world use windows xp now a days.

facebook gamers dont count

i dont really care what they are using under the hood if the performance is on par with with windows version ... at least with good linux drivers.

i myself dont have performance problems with witcher 2... runs perfectly around 40-60fps most of the time.. all maxed except ubersample and vsync.. at 1920x1080 ... in some places it drops to below 30 a little though...but those are rare..

but a lot of people have issues..and i surely hope those will be fixed.

and quick and dirty gameplay video:

vsync enabled causes weird framerate drops.. when disabled it runs smooth but recording output is still jumping a lot in frames... i dunno why and didnt find a cure for it...

my eyes starting to hurt when i play this longer than 30 min.. too pixely... but the game mechanics and overall feel is superb.. specialy the kick that guns and bombs deliver... nicely done..

i ofc had to buy it because its one of the few Estonian Developers whos game is for linux, on steam and quite popular.

Quoting: ShmerlCPU is going to be more important than it is now. It's a wrong trend that it's underused and things are slowly changing (various multithreading usage is growing in gaming too).

it is... specialy the latest opengl driver overhead removal stuff...

but this will take some time and since the current consoles are using AMD CPU solutions there is no big need for anything better..because lets face it.. many of the games are ports for PC, with slightly better textures or something similar...

pretty much what Mike said!
i would go with FX8320 though..which is just £15 more . so you can get the more tasks on the same time and its more future proof since the new generation of consoles are the same 8 core as well.
though 6300 is still super good.

buying a gaming pc nowadays isnt that expensive..most expensive part is the GPU. CPU isnt that important for most of the games..

i always laugh when some Gaming Laptops coming with i7 4770M or similar and then have some random crappy nvidia 640M ... why the fcuk you put that expensive CPU to your gaming machine...

yeah probably the statement is about the price they sell.. not that how many units they sell or how popular it is or gonna be.

its probably the competition that the build parts cost pretty much for such a small factor PC and the price they can ask for it isnt enough for them.

hmm.. unity3d ...
thats what im scared about... unity3d hasnt been good for FPS games so far... but theres hope that this one is better... unity5 should deliver better perf as well.
