Where are you carrying that eGPU?

Meanwhile: Politicians who never had a day of honest work their entire life.

Have to disagree when you consider eGPUs.

eGPUs with a handheld? Yeah… nope.

The benefits of Intel (mostly Thunderbolt) are irrelevant for handhelds, though.

Using worse components just to be different is not really a good sales strategy.

AMD is weirdly bad with their software side.

I don’t think that’s the driver’s fault that a 90s game can’t launch. Unless you’re talking about the remaster.

The remaster replaced the old release and I explicitly said Vulkan, so obviously it’s the remaster. You need to jump through some hoops to get the original DOS release these days.

Damn I didn’t know the driver situation is that bad in Windows.

It’s better for RDNA GPUs but it’s not the fault of the customers that AMD was still putting Vega cores in relatively recent notebook APUs. Vega is fine for regular web browsing etc but a Vega GPU should easily be able to handle lower end games such as Quake I but just doesn’t.

People just keep buying Nvidia, so no need for them to change.

And why wouldn’t they? (they = average Windows gamer)

AMD decided that my Vega-based iGPU had enough driver updates. Reminder that Vega was kept in iGPUs for quite some time. Vulkan is completely broken under Windows, so I need to enable my NVidia dGPU for things like Doom I+II and Quake I.

It’s different under Linux where Radeon drivers are open source and developed by Valve and others.

if they can make an APU that’s affordable

About that…

The AMD Ryzen AI Max APUs for mobile, originally codenamed Strix Halo, could make an appearance in desktop PCs, as hinted by Dr Lisa Su.

What is there to hint? Framework Desktop has been announced weeks ago.

This is a pretty damning “they used assets of when they were under contract”, so, for once, squeenix isn’t entirely in the wrong.

Depends what the contract says. If some line somewhere says that the developer retains copyright if Square Enix cancels their end of the deal, then the developer is correct.

The only thing we on the outside can make a somewhat educated guess on is that probably both sides think they’re in the right. Maybe details of the contract were lost in translation between Japanese and Chinese.

The notable detail I find interesting is that they try to stop the US release of the game whereas the Japanese and Chinese release went ahead just fine and SE only later decided to sue in Japan as well.
