Did they individually texture the grands of sand in dust2???
that's a lot of storage
too bad I don't have a sound card
too bad I don’t have a sound card
It's fine, it's just recommended. I'm waiting on the deaf gamers to absolutely dominate.
Gotta love those pc speaker sounds! 😛
WHAT?
This mean Intel integrated won't cut the mustard?
If you're using a motherboard to spread mustard instead of a butter knife, you might be doing it wrong.
If your integrated graphics is on the motherboard and not the CPU, you're having a bad time in 2023.
Modern ones will. The gpu requirement is basically says any gpu from 2011 and newer (2011 was gcn 1.0 and kepler) with Vulkan support.
For windows, vulkan is supported by skylake(6th gen) and newer, for linux, vulkan is supported all the way back to Ivy Bridge, but the experience playing CSGO would probably be terrible.
One thing to note for linux and GCN GPUs, is that older GCN based cards doesn't use AMDGPU driver out of the box, so vulkan won't work initially. You need a kernel parameter to enable amdgpu for older GCN (at least I've had to do that with arch linux). But when it is enabled it works great in my experience. You will get a warning in the console that the support for that GPU is experimental though.
Also vulkan support for Ivy Bridge is not complete and is experimental. It is unfortunately not possible to use DXVK on ivy bridge due to this.
Am I the only one who reads GCN as Game Cube Nintendo?
I never had a game cube so it didn't cross my mind. AMD's GCN is short for "Graphics Core Next" though.
Finally a game my gtx 980ti can officially run! It's been a long time since I've seen that , but it still runs most stuff just fine. Quite a little trooper, that card 🙂
"Sound Card Highly recommend"
Le deaf people : 🤷♂️
These requirements seem fair. One interesting thing is that they highly recommend a sound card for Linux but not for Windows.
Game's audio was borked for me, needed -sdlaudiodriver pipewire as an argument.
Even then particle effects weren't displaying correctly, if at all. I dual booted back into Windows because i found it unplayable.
Edit: Sep 28 Evening update fixed gfx issues
You talking about the new smoke effects? They seem to be working on my end (Nvidia 3090).
Interesting. Im on AMD on Fedora. They're invisible to me.
What generation of GPU?
6700xt, im gonna try upgrading my drivers tn. Will post if it worked.
Recent update fixed
Try running the Windows version through Proton instead. You can do that by forcing a Proton version, and it will download the Windows version.
This worked extremely well for me with an 8x performance boost in Bioshock Infinite because their Linux build runs on an old version of OpenGL and old libs, while proton translates DX11 into Vulkan.
Can't, vac wont allow that.
Have you tried it? If any anti cheat would understand Proton it would be Valve's.
oh that's unfortunate.
It's a good test for troubleshooting, but for this case specifically the game requires Vulkan even on Linux.
Even my 12 year old PC meet these specs. Wild.
I think the i5 750 came before my time with computers lol
Controller match making!? No?
I tried cs2 and got my ass handed to me in every single game, maybe I’m not a gamer anymore lol
