I know Intel is dipping its toe into the GPU market, but let’s be real, AMD and nVidia are the only options and have been for the last 20+ years. The manufacturers/assemblers of the complete graphics cards are varied and widespread, but the core tech comes from two companies only.

Why is this the case? Or am I mistaken and am just brainwashed by marketing, and there are in fact other viable options for GPUs?

Cheers!

    the point was about “not being able to game on amd”
    yeah duh mobile chips are less performant, but still forza horizon 4–5 runs better on my steam deck than on my desktop pc with a 2080rtx in linux

        i’m not sure if you meant like deck vs desktop, but if so, because the deck is a handheld, you can play anywhere

        i think you probably meant it the other way, can the deck run it in 1080p, but i just tried it in 720p on my desktop and it’s still choppy, although it does make the average fps higher.
        also it’s not unplayable, it’s annoying just annoying, and the knowledge that on windows it can do stable 60 fps with “maximum” settings (that’s below “ultra” and “extreme”) in 1080p
        also also, this is a “special” thing, most games run just as smoothly as on windows, forzas, and the “new” mafia games are the few exceptions out of my 1000+ games library
