Hi, I've currently got:

- Ryzen 7 3700x

- 64 GiB RAM

- ASUS TUF X570-plus (PCIE 4.0)

- Nvidia 3080ti

- 4k display

- Fedora 42 (I need to upgrade)

I've recently modded KSP and when using large texture packs, I've been running out of VRAM. This, coupled with feeling like my card is struggling to run high settings much beyond 40fps makes me feel like I should upgrade.

I play a lot of different types of game, but typically not twitchy shooters, so I don't care about having huge FPS values(120+).

I seem to be able to sell my 3080ti for about £400-£450.

I'm trying to decide which card to get, out of:

- 9070 xt (£650)

- 7900 xtx (£850)

- 5090 (£3000)

If I get the AMD cards, I accept that I might be upgrading again in a year or two, but with the 5090, I'd expect to keep it for about 5 years.

I am ray-tracing curious, as I'd love to re-play Cyberpunk in its full glory, but I've not really played with it, so I'm not sure how much difference it makes whilst playing a game. It's not a deal-breaker if I need to sit out of ray-tracing until I upgrade again, but it would be nice to have.

From reading a lot, it seems like AMD cards get a slight performance uplift on Linux, while Nvidia get a drop. On top of this, the 5090 seems to have some excessively poor 1% and 0.1% frames on some games (making games seem to chug).

I read that heavy ray-tracing was pretty poor on AMD last year, but that there's been an update that may have helped.

My questions are:

- Does ray-tracing give you any "wow" moments in games that make it worth shelling out more for and getting a 5090?

- Does the 9070xt cut it as a 4k card on Linux?

- Should I just skip chasing ray tracing and FSR 4 and just go for pure rasterisation performance in the 7900 xtx?

- Have any driver updates since 2025 fixed the poor 1% lows on the 5090, or has AMD's updates to the 9070 xt given it better heavy ray-tracing performance?

(Sorry for the long question)

Hi all,

I have a small question about Vortex installed via Steam Tinker Launch.

Vortex says there is an update so I pressed update, nothing happened.

Then I went into the Vortex page of STL and selected download (it showed an update) and after that pressed update. I've waited for about half an hour and still Vortex isn't updated.

How can I update the STL managed Vortex?

Thanks in advance.

I recently installed FFXIV on cachy os. I used the non flat pak version, AUR I think, of the xivlauncher. I noticed that the AMD FSR option in the graphics menu is greyed out. I am running a 9070xt, newly installed on a fresh cachy install and made sure everything was up to date. I have some experience with Linux but can't figure out how to get this enabled.

I'm rather new to Linux and would like to know how I could play Bedrock with friends. I've heard something about being able to run the android version? I've found some tutorials online but I feel Minecraft is one of those things that will have a lot of sketchy/scamy tutorials to steel your Google log in or something? If you know anything please LMK, kinda need badly.

Due to the complete incompetence of NVIDIA , for the mobile 16xx series , a game I love , Dying Light 1, has a few issues on Windows
-Really weird loading times and a WHOPPING 35% usage on GPU. Permanently. The game is literally unplayable averaging 20 fps.

Now the fun fact: The game runs , at 4k 60fps on Proton-GE. But due to some work problems I had, I ditched my Linux Distro to go back to Windows.
Some old forums recommended DXVK, but it runs even worse on it. Is there some sort of emulation I can do on my windows machine to simulate or even use a translation layer?
