EVERSPACE 2 developer ROCKFISH Games, being headquartered in Hamburg, couldn't very well pass up on the Cologne-based Gamescom, especially since they've got the Titans DLC coming up soon. Due to launch on September 16 across all platforms (PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X) for a price tag of $15, this is the first story DLC for the space combat game that was fully released in 2023. I caught up with ROCKFISH Games CEO and Co-Founder Michael Schade and Communications Manager Lee Guille to learn more about EVERSPACE 2: Titans and to discuss various aspects of the industry, from their […]
The worldwide market share of the Linux operating system has reached nearly 4.5%, suggesting an increase in user interest over other OS. The Linux OS market share can hit 5.0% in early 2025 with the current trend The open-source Linux operating system is seeing a rapid increase in popularity in 2024. This is the first time that Linux OS has hit a record 4.44% worldwide market share, making it the third most popular OS among all. Windows remains the number one, followed by macOS X at the second place. While several various OS make up a higher share than the […]
NVIDIA's open-source Linux kernel drivers have matured to the point that they offer performance equivalent to their own proprietary GPU drivers. NVIDIA Linux driver 555.58 offers great optimizations, enhancing the performance of RTX GPUs NVIDIA's open-source Linux kernel driver has improved drastically over the past two years with now being on par with proprietary drivers when it comes to performance of the RTX Turing-based GPUs and up. The latest 555 driver series has particularly offered immense optimizations for the RTX GPUs, with its 555.58 currently being the best driver released up until now. Phoronix recently tested the 555.58 Linux kernel […]
NVIDIA has announced that it will transition to open-source GPU kernel modules for Linux, with the change coming in an upcoming driver update. NVIDIA Looks To Be More "Open-Source" At Linux With Its Upcoming Drivers, Fueling Community Development [Press Release]: With the R515 driver, NVIDIA released a set of Linux GPU kernel modules in May 2022 as open source with dual GPL and MIT licensing. The initial release targeted datacenter compute GPUs, with GeForce and Workstation GPUs in an alpha state. At the time, we announced that more robust and fully-featured GeForce and Workstation Linux support would follow in subsequent releases and […]
It looks like AMD's enablement journey for RDNA 4 GPUs at Linux is finally ending, as the firm submits the final batch of patches targeting bug fixes. AMD's "IP Blocks" Approach With RDNA 4 GPUs Has Brought In Optimal Support For The Architecture At Linux Well, Team Red's consistency with RDNA 4 GPUs at Linux was indeed something to appreciate, considering that AMD did get on early with ensuring that the next-gen "RX 8000" series GPUs are fully compatible with Linux out of the box, and it looks like the firm has been able to achieve this. With AMD adopting […]
AMD's official Linux kernel compute driver has now received additional support for RDNA 4 GPU enablement, ensuring full-proof at-launch support. AMD Looks Active More Than Ever With Their RDNA 4 GPU Support On Linux, AMDKFD Driver Now Witness Next-Gen Enablement AMD has been proactive in recent days regarding GFX12 or RDNA 4 support. The firm has introduced several new improvements and enhancements to ensure that the Linux platform isn't deprived during official launch timelines. AMD engineers, this time, have brought in new updates for both AMDGPU and AMDKFD drivers, both of which focus on RDNA4-relevant patches. Speaking of AMDGPU, the […]
AMD's shader compiler "ACO" has seen the influx of multiple patches, supporting the next-gen RDNA 4 GPUs. AMD Accelerating Efforts Of RDNA 4 GPU Enablement At Their Platform, Ensuring Complete Support At Launch Linux has seen massive developments in enablement for AMD's upcoming RDNA 4 GPUs, and it looks like Team Red won't stop just yet, as they add in another set of updates targeted at bringing optimal support for AMD users. This time, Valve's open-source developers have brought in additional patches for the ACO compiler, a standard LLVM compiler dedicated to resources such as MESA's RADV Vulkan driver and […]
Intel's Battlemage "Xe2" GPUs continue to receive new support and patches with the latest one exposing the BMG-G21 graphics chip. Intel Battlemage "BMG-G21" GPU Shows Up In LLVM Patch, Lunar Lake With Xe2-LPG Gets Improved Support As Blue Team Preps Unveiling of Next-Gen Graphics Architecture The Intel Battlemage "Xe2" GPU family which is all set to replace the Alchemist "Xe" architecture, isn't far away from its official debut. While Intel has come a long way since its initial discrete GPU launch, Battlemage seems like it will be the "pivot" point for Team Blue. Now, we have got our first glimpse […]
Samsung has been reported on multiple occasions to introduce a design change with the Galaxy S25 Ultra launch, with the flagship said to feature rounded corners instead of sharp ones, resembling the company’s Galaxy Note 7. However, it is one thing to check out an artist’s impression of the smartphone and another to view an actual render, and we are happy to mention that an official image has come out, but there is a catch. The notable leakster responsible for showcasing the Galaxy S25 Ultra to his fans has blurred it out unless his financial target is met. Donation goal from […]
This week saw the release of Astro Bot, a delightful game that pays tribute to the rich history of PlayStation. It also, inadvertently, highlights the dearth of new games and franchises really worth celebrating from the PS5 era. Also, Star Wars Outlaws...
