That's 1080p actual rendering. Which further ads to the argument here.

Native 4K is barely achievable with a top end CPU+GPU, so upping native 1080p 60fps with DLSS/FSR/XeSS to 4K is still valid.

If your slop can't reach 60fps at 1080p at 8GB of VRAM you suck at your job.
 


Woman with glasses unboxes and tries the new Steam Frame VR. Nice that they show someone with glasses trying it.

Why does NVIDIA have a hateboner for linux? I never understood it.

First, they didn't give a shit because gaming on Linux wasn't a thing. The bare mininum of a display adapter was solid enough.
Now, they partially give a shit because their enterprise products dominate the market where server Linux is king but their GeForce products no longer matter to them so gamers across both Windows and Linux are treated as second class citizens. See the 570 drivers disaster.
Nvidia was also notoriously monopolistic, anti-competitive and proprietary for decades, and a lot of issues people had on Linux with Nvidia actually stemmed from distros like Debian not shipping the proprietary drivers that actually work by default out of ideological reasons. They rightfully changed their mind with Debian 12 and let you use non-free drivers out of the box.
As for the current DX12/VKD3D issues on Linux, IIRC as of now the only major performance regression Nvidia has on Linux, Nvidia actually gives a shit about those and is working on fixing them.

Learn how to differentiate the reason from the cause instead of having a victim mentality and assuming corpos don't give a shit about desktop Linux just to spite you personally. The sooner you start thinking like an adult rather than a teenager with ADHD about Linux, the faster it'll gain desktop market share.
 
'$100 Steam Machine' uses a cut-down PS5 APU with Bazzite — DIY console offers 60 FPS at 1080p with 16GB of GDDR6
The hardware being used for this setup is an ASRock BC-250 mining blade that takes advantage of a defective PS5 SoC with disabled bits. Specs consist of six Zen 2 cores with 12 threads, 24 RDNA 2 CUs, and 16GB of GDDR6 memory. Compared to the base PS5, which has eight Zen 2 cores and 36 CUs, the neutered counterpart in ASRock's mining board has 25% fewer cores and 33% fewer GPU cores.

Thanks to crypto mining becoming mostly niche and requiring dedicated ASICs to churn out profitable income, ETA Prime reports that ASRock BC-250 boards are showing up all over eBay for prices as low as $100-$120. We can confirm the YouTuber's findings, but not the price. The lowest price we could find for a BC-250 on eBay was around $150.
