I want to see a comparison between the same game being played on the original OS and on linux.
Yeah, dying to see Ragnarok on PS5 vs Ragnarok on PS5 freed
The big issue is probably heat.
x86 iGPUs on desktop OSes mimic PCIe peripherals, so they encounter a bottleneck that doesn’t exist on gaming OSes.
The part of the chip that handles PCIe interactions will get hotter than the parts that actually do useful rendering tasks, so the whole SoC will throttle down while the CUs are still bored.
holy shit that’s actually competent hardware, and you can get them for way cheaper than an equivalent pc
i think I might have to start looking for one
Something to keep in mind if the Steam Machine itch gets too bad.
I think I remember similar headlines for PS3
