AMD has filed its latest driver patches for Linux and included within those are the first indication of support for GDDR7. As spotted by Phoronix, the AMDGPU patch specifically adds the identifier “GDDR7” to the driver. It’s only a small change—a single line in a pile of code for the company’s open source GPU driver—yet…
I wouldn’t take the overtime. The fact that Bryan was forced down this spiral of blood, guts, and tears just because he thought he could make a bit more cash is simultaneously the most realistic and tragic aspect of the new Resident Evil movie. And honestly, I get it. Who doesn’t need a bit of…
Not that things are great for anybody at the moment, but I’m not entirely sure how anyone in the videogame industry keeps their head together—Josh Daniels, one of the latest victims in Xbox’s brutal series of resets, has been promoted and then laid off in the same week. For some context, this forms part of…
You’d think the most exciting thing to happen in Counter-Strike 2 today would be its new Rush Hour update, complete with a new “fast-paced” mode, or perhaps the fact that you can now silent reload. But you would be wrong, because Rush Hour has been overshadowed by pet chickens. Chickens aren’t new to CS2, they’ve…
I have made the choice to min-max in WoW: Forever, something which I am starting to regret, because oh no, my hubris. See, Blizzard will be raising the level cap sometime soon to 30, and I decided I’d complete a bunch of quests, but not turn them in. But I’d forgotten that a lot of…
We’re currently polling for the worst graphical effect in games, starting with a fight between depth of field and vignette. I’m already seeing a lot of passionate comments on our post, including from one user who said of the results: “This is crazytown”. Love that. Keep that vibe going throughout our knockout tourny. If you…
I’m currently at Logitech G Play in Warsaw where a Counter-Strike 2 tournament is being held. As someone who properly got into Counter-Strike when CS:GO launched way back when, I can see things have changed quite a bit. Back then, we struggled with janky spectator cams; now, we have on-stage lighting that starts when the…
Valve implemented age verification for Australian Steam users earlier this month, which was inevitable: Australian law demands it. Unfortunately, Valve has opted for the most brute force, user-negligent approach possible. To buy R18+ games on Steam in Australia—to even access their store pages—you need to provide a credit card. The problem being that most Australians…
A few months ago I made the case that a 360 Hz refresh rate on your monitor is the sweet spot for competitive FPS before diminishing returns kick in. I had nothing but my own testing and a big bottle of ‘trust me bro’ back then, but I’ve now spoken to a couple of Counter-Strike…
