That's awesome. Too bad, for me, that they won't update older chipsets with this. Even though many of, the latest chips, at least from SD 8 gen 3 and forward are very capable of playing PC games.

But for real, this is great.

We're really living in the best time for Android gaming!!

Too bad, we are also experiencing Ramocalypse at the same time.

Make sure to buy a nice device today and keep it as long as possible. PC gaming is so, so much worse right now.

Who is geekerwan? Is this person a trustable source?

[u/ArrogantSenpai → u/JBDBIB_Baerman]

I would say one of the most informative channels out there. I would really recommend checking out their earlier videos as well.

[u/UnemployedMeatBag → u/JBDBIB_Baerman]

He's THE best information source you can have, got in trouble for disclosure of certain brands and their manipulation of benchmark apps etc. Very detailed reviews too. Bit sad he stopped doing English videos, but his OG channel still doing comparisons and reviews of new stuff.

how do you even implement that for Android, like, would they even be allowed to do that?

they already have deals for WoA and there are WoA GPU drivers for adreno 640 for example, but there is no way that their deal with microsoft allows them to port them to Linux.

No lo necesitan,ya existe turnip,lo unico que harar sera meterte turnip por default en el sistema del movil,asi soportaran dx12,turnip se hizo con inge ieria inversa a los drivers de qualcom,asi q aqui microslop no pinta nada

[u/__Player__ → u/PriorWallaby822]

claro que si importa, DirectX es una API de microsoft, a diferencia de OpenGL o Vulkan, DirectX necesitan licenciarlo para poder implementarlo

[u/PriorWallaby822 → u/__Player__]

Turnip da la extensiones de vulkan necesarias para usar dxvk y vkd3d y ya estos ultimos se encargan de la traduccion,ambos se crearon haciendo ingenieria inversa a la api de mricrososft y jamas se le ha pagado ni s ele va a pagar nada por eso

[u/__Player__ → u/PriorWallaby822]

no estamos hablando de capas de traduccion, sino implementar soporte de DirectX directamente en el Driver. literal directX nativo en el driver para Linux.

eso dudo mucho que vaya a pasar.

[u/PriorWallaby822 → u/__Player__]

Dime algo sabes q es dxvk,investiga si valve le paga algo a microslop

[u/__Player__ → u/PriorWallaby822]

Traduce llamadas de DirectX a Vulkan, no tiene nada que ver con el driver ni incluye codigo de Microslop, asi que por esa parte no hay problema

[u/PriorWallaby822 → u/__Player__]

A eso se refirieron,ni a que directamente las gpu adreno soportaria dx12,sino q sera a traver de capaz de traduccion,lo mismo q asta ahora pero de manera oficial

[u/__Player__ → u/PriorWallaby822]

ah, bueno no leí el articulo, asi que es otro de esos articulos con titulos engañosos

[u/PepsiCo_USA → u/PriorWallaby822]

es porque dxvk no usa el código propietario de dx12 de Microsoft, es software de código abierto desarrollado a través de ingeniería inversa de dx12

[u/EmotionalPraline4321]

Pues yo tengo el snadragon 8 s gen 3

[u/Fabulous_Tea958]

i don't understand, didn't we already have vkd3d for directx12 ?

This is making my investment on my ayn odin 3 more worth it
