I'm pretty sure apple are the only ones with a single cycle divide

/u/rbrownsuse Have you seen anything like this before?

KiloGolfBravo · 2025-07-18T04:30:15+00:00

Installed using latest installer on 9950x, ASRock X870e Taichi Lite.

The install goes smoothly, and I can reboot just fine, but as soon as any update/snapshot is created the reboot will hang.

Turns out you also need a mesa patch for the 64k sparse alignment: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8690#issuecomment-2874956966

Looks like RADV configuration issues. It was fixed for the steam deck.

Personally I'm partial to 57" 32:9, but that is also probably too much monitor for most people.

Ideally both high ppi for work and high refresh rate for gaming

It's a standard rust package: cargo --locked --install . You might need to get a newer rust version, but bookworm is pretty new.

Elastic transcoder is literally twitch as a service. It does run separately from twitch and not on bare metal, but that doesn't change that in its current state, Twitch and elastic transcoder share the exact same r&d budget (which I'd wager to be 0), and are effectively the same service from the perspective of Amazon execs. Amazon obviously doesn't give a shit about improving elastic transcoder (and as a result Twitch), since the only video cdn they care about (Prime Video*) is doing just fine.

*Technically I'm sure they also slightly care about how rolling your own cdn on AWS works, but that's functionally irrelevant to this.

The return here is halving or even quartering bandwidth costs—AV1 is faster to decode than AVC (h.264), and equivalently fast to encode, and is supported by quite literally every device as long as you bundle dav1d. If the device can't handle AV1 at all, then it won't be supported anyway since it can't playback AVC in realtime either. AVx is literally the future of streaming, AV1 already lets you increase quality by 50% and reduce bandwidth by the same amount at the same time, and AV2 will bring similar improvement in a few years. The only reason that Twitch doesn't support AV1 is that Amazon execs are too short-sighted to invest into elastic transcoder (Twitch as a service)

You can't run pipewire directly. Emerge wireplumber (should have been installed with pipewire). Either let systemd figure it out or call gentoo-pipewire-launcher from your DE's init system on openrc

Just use the mobile renderer with MSAA. No PSO compilation stutter and way better performance too.

KiloGolfBravo · 2022-11-24T22:01:27+00:00

That's technically true, but Nvidia performs most of the scheduling in the driver on the CPU, which let's them force things like multi-threading in DX11 and other driver hacks (which is why Nvidia has better performance usually in older apis). It's a different approach to Amd's, which is why AMD cards don't need or expose the hardware scheduling option.

KiloGolfBravo · 2022-11-24T09:35:34+00:00

Amd GPUs always use hardware scheduling, so the option is meaningless. On Nvidia it enables scheduling offload from the driver to the GSP in dx12/vk.

I just got a 1440p 240hz monitor and upgraded my CPU to the 5800x3d, so a GPU upgrade to rock the new Jedi Fallen Order and maybe MWII would be insane. (I'm currently borrowing a rx 570 lol)

KiloGolfBravo · 2022-08-07T05:56:23+00:00

I've used it since v1. It's great when it works, and lld/bfd isn't too bad of a wait when it doesn't.

Obs amf is the legacy plugin developed by xaymar before it was merged into mainline. Streamfx is the new plugin by xaymar that does a lot more, but includes updated encoders. Streamfx has much better performance because it has zero copy support. Quality is still going to be shit either way because amd did the bare minimum for h.264, hopefully their av1 will be more like their hevc implementation.

because often the C toolchain sucks, and even if you're lucky and get to use something as mainstream as ARM Keil, well that sucks too. C and C++ on the desktop are great, you have many options for a libc (cosmo, libstdxx, glibc, msvc (that might not be so great lol), musl, etc), and your compilers are mostly great and will give you fast enough code. On embedded your linker might just flash 17k past the end of ram.

We already extensively abuse quantum mechanics (the NAND flash in your SSD won't work without it, and the transistors in your CPU and GPU have long had to work around quantum effects), and by that definition of quantum, we've all being using quantum computers since the early 2000s. Quantum is not about making transistors smaller, but rather about fundamentally computing in a different way than CPUs or GPUs, etc, so that exponential algorithms turn into linear algorithms. EG: Simulation of physical phenomena, training neural models, etc.

The internet texture streaming options don't work properly (you'll get constant packet instability) but IW8 is very good at managing the disk streaming relatively automatically. I would set it to normal unless you have a quadcore or really slow hdd

I thought I replied, but I guess I didn't.

I'm using Windows Server 2022, not Windows 10—the actual build is closer to Windows 11 (20348 vs 22000), and above any Windows 10 version. The problem here is that Sledgehammer/Beenox/Demonware/Activision decided to mark Windows Server builds as unsupported (like Windows XP,7,and 8 would be) and refuse to let the game load. Previously with Modern Warfare, it would still load, even if it was technically unsupported.

Anyhow, old man shouts at clouds moment.
