 Crony Akatsuki | 99%^ of people don't do vr | 18:04:50 |
 hustlerone | well too bad 99%^ of linux installations are servers so why should we care about pipsqueaks wanting to use a computer | 18:05:47 |
| Crony Akatsuki | desktop users | 18:06:00 |
| Crony Akatsuki | most desktop users don't do vr | 18:06:15 |
| hustlerone | ok and? | 18:06:27 |
| hustlerone | i could make the same argument with the marketshare of dekstop vs servers | 18:06:43 |
| Crony Akatsuki | means most people don't need to run proprietary drivers | 18:07:00 |
| hustlerone | so? i'm saying that if you wanna play vr you might have to look onto an old driver version and it might have to proprietaryt | 18:07:44 |
| Crony Akatsuki | if it ever happens I will try vr I might, tho I don't believe I will | 18:08:35 |
| Crony Akatsuki | the only reason that will keep me on proprietary drivers rn is gsync and cuda | 18:09:56 |
| hustlerone | or hdmi 2.1 | 18:10:31 |
 magic_rb | Im pretty hdmi 2.1 can work on both nvidia open and nouveau | 18:10:55 |
| magic_rb | Because its implemented in firmware iirc, or at least most of it | 18:11:06 |
| Crony Akatsuki | I don't have a monitor that supports it so doesn't matter | 18:11:10 |
| magic_rb | * | 18:11:16 |
 K900 | Yeah, HDMI 2.1 is only an issue on AMD | 18:12:20 |
| K900 | And I think people on the lists have reverse engineered like 80% of it by now lol | 18:12:30 |
| K900 | Which is honestly very funny | 18:12:34 |
| hustlerone | i sometimes wonder where are more kvm switches with HDMI than displayport | 18:13:16 |
| Crony Akatsuki | most likely just cheap to manufacture | 18:13:45 |
| hustlerone | not when it's hdmi 2.1 | 18:14:19 |
| hustlerone | and it's 4 computers | 18:14:25 |
| Crony Akatsuki | what version does most of the market use tho? | 18:14:44 |
| hustlerone | does it matter? | 18:14:59 |
| hustlerone | there's not many 4 port KVM switches | 18:15:29 |
| Crony Akatsuki | it will answer your question of why most are hdmi, if they use old version just cheap to manufacture | 18:15:30 |
| Crony Akatsuki | and that there, is a niche | 18:15:49 |
| Crony Akatsuki | Nila The Dragon: will test of the finals performance now on the proprietary drives, just to compare | 18:20:22 |
| magic_rb | Didnt intel solve it by using dp to hdmi converters built into laptop lol | 18:22:32 |
| hustlerone | would've been nice if ugreen came with a displayport 2.1 counterpart | 18:24:03 |
