  • Actually it works fine on Steam Deck. It uses VRR over DP to the dock, which then translates it to HDMI with VRR. The dock has proprietary firmware to do this.

    Intel and Nvidia hardware with open source kernel drivers also do a similar trick where the HDMI part is in a firmware blob. Only AMD does not work with HDMI VRR.

  • But the energy usage is quoted as peak for the entire venue - which is literally a theater / concert hall. It opened with a live U2 performance. The energy usage isn't just for the displays, it includes all the power for the entire building, the concert speakers, heating/cooling, indoor lighting, any kitchen equipment, etc.

  • It's annoying all the articles are focusing on performance versus stock wine here when basically everyone uses Proton or a fork of it anyway, which has had fsync for years now that does similar performance uplift.

    The story here should be that we're getting fsync level performance with fewer bug and it can be upstreamed to wine. There is no relevant performance uplift for Proton users, but I guess performance gets clicks so that's the story all the press are going with.

  • It's not merged, but the benchmarks are against upstream wine. Proton has hacks (fsync) that have almost identical performance uplift but were not suited to upstreaming.

    So basically this will improve "correctness" versus current Proton, not performance. Should fix some bugs and improve compatibility.

    Versus stock wine, it's a huge perf uplift though.

  • As an individual consumer... Not much. Still wouldn't buy their product as it's showing support with whatever little power you have.

    In a better world there would be market regulations or something to keep a massive company from burning all their money in a market to have an unfair advantage over all others.
