Feeling better?

Does today's include the print patch?

Yes, besides a cough, I'm good now. No, it doesn't include the print patch. For some unexplainable reason, it also broke something entirely different and I didn't want to risk functionality loss.

hey bangbang, why do you update daily?

um because there are daily updates.

These are nightly builds in case you didn't know, not release builds. They are the very latest code and are not gauranteed to be stable, there are usually things broken.

umm, that is incorrect. If firefox didn't make an "unstable" build, they wouldn't release it to the public without having it being tested first. Since there is nightly builds... they are stable, and whatever is tweaked, is tested before posting (Y). they have a full 24 hours to test it out before launching a nightly build.

Sorry man, but flightmike1 was right. The nightly builds are often plagued with severe issues, especially early on in a branch merging. They do not spend the entire 24 hours testing a build. They simply compile it and, if it completes, they upload it. They may smoke test them, to some degree, but I'm not 100% on that.

Well, BangBang, I haven't got the slightest idea what you're actually doing here but it seems you're making a significant contribution to the Neowin community so I want to thank you for that. Since I haven't heard of SSE2 I'm doubting my processor supports it (Athlon XP) but thanks all the same for doing whatever it is you're doing!

Thank you XenonicRob. Basically, I optimize the code base to run more quickly on systems that support the SSE2 instruction set. Your processor does not support it, unfortunately. While I don't contribute to the Fx world as many other do, I hope my builds so help out some people, at least.

Guys like mmoy or guys who submit patches that get used in the official code. I'm a builder, but the coders do a lot more work than I.

    • AMD 9070XT

      NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/

      One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.

      I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
