I finally got around to playing Steam/Windows games running on Linux with the same (or better) performance. LSI Steam + Wine + DXVK + Proton-GE. What's the story that brought us here? Today I want to tell you about 30 years of CPU and GPU history so you can get an overview of how things have evolved in the graphics world to date. And from 01:01:26 onwards I'll talk more specifically about how I configured NVIDIA Optimus on my laptop. In the error I said that TSMC is Chinese but I said it wrong, it's Taiwanese.
