On: ChimeraOS: Instantly turn any PC into a gaming con...

I have 7 PCs in my house and (technically) none of them have AMD GPUs. I've only ever loaded steam on one of them:

1 nvidia discrete GPU

1 ATI discrete GPU (it almost certainly isn't supported as it's too old to work with the open-source AMD drivers)

5 different intel iGPUs (1 NUC, one mITX, and 3 laptops, because WTF do I need a discrete GPU in a laptop for).

I wonder what these 7 PCs have in common that none of them would have AMD GPUs?

[aidenn0 → Terretta]

- 5 of them have no need for discrete graphics; of those 3 are laptops, which (for many years) were basically going to be intel CPUs unless you go out of your way to buy AMD. One other is a NUC (I wanted the Pulse8 CEC module which is available internally only for NUCs), and the last one is used largely as a server; the only low-power mITX board I could find that supported ECC was a Xeon-D.

- One was built before AMD sold GPUs.

- One was built in a time in which AMD GPUs ran much hotter than Nvidia GPUs at the same performance level, so I would have only bought one if I was more price sensitive.
