wouldn’t be the first time noctua took part in something that’s quite a bit removed from their regular products, though. Drop sells a noctua -colored custom keycap set, for example.

I do like most crpg games on easy. I’m playing for the story, not the combat.

inching towards making the same jump.

Currently the things holding me back are music production stuff (mainly vst/vst3 plugins and their draconian drm). If anyone has any first hand experiences with eg. iLok and the plugins working under wine, it would be grand <3

Games wise… does raytracing in games work under linux? eg. Cyberpunk 2077, gog -version.

honestly can’t remember / don’t know, been ages since I started using that. sorry :/

E: But, no harm done if you uninstall the existing driver & software first, I guess?

never heard of nvslimmer, but by the sound of it it does exactly the same as nvcleanstall, which I have used. Basically, I only install the driver and physx from the nvidia driver package, with telemetry disabled during the install (so, no ads and such nonsense during install).

edit: and nv control panel from the windows store thingy (which is dreadful, imo)

I kinda find it odd that they up the CPU requirement a bit for rt… Why? I thought the RT happens entirely on the GPU.

Playing current version at 1440p, RT=psycho at pretty stable 60fps with a rtx3090 and a ryzen 9 3900x. Not too keen on upgrading anytime soon if I can avoid it. Fairly confident I can find playable settings with decent eyecandy with PL, but probably need to drop a notch from current settings (if they are even directly comparable).

only windows, afaik. On linux \ is the escape symbol
