Also, what kind of performance could one expect to get vs x86? would it be sufficient / "good enuff"

No I don't own any of these cards yet. I've never owned an ATi or AMD gpu in my life (always used nvidia, never had an issue with it on linux which is the only OS ive used for quite a bit now).

However I'm shopping for a GPU currently anyways, so one i can use in a power9 helps.

I'm waiting to sell a few things off before picking up a basic blackbird mobo and 4 core.

for the least headache, should one go with a wx7100 currently, or would i be okay with an rx 580 or vega 64? looking for the easiest gpu solution. this is for desktop/games not so much workstation stuff.

I wouldn't imagine any significant problems with connecting to an x86 server from a ppc64le machine, and I'm pretty sure it worked fine back in the day even with big-endian.

Enjoyed Stalker the movie, so I might have to try that when I get a free second.

Ive heard some ports have issues with it, but I didn't think so either.

if you've not played STALKER youre in for something. Looking to get a raptor POWER9 for my next desktop, so wondering how these games will compile and run.

has anyone tried a quake 3 port online? hoping there isn't an issue with connecting to an x86 server

also wondering how ezQuake runs as well (will need to be compiled from source)

Also, can anyone try compiling openxray to run STALKER call of pripyat?
