          Check here later, sponsored talks are usually free. This one was sponsored by NVIDIA.

          As stated on the web page:

          Our hope is to have all videos live 2 to 4 weeks after the event takes place.

            Does the Wayland backend for SDL work? There doesn't seem to be any activity in the sdl-wayland repo since more than a year. I wish that Wayland display servers solved the ALT+TAB issues that games have Linux

                  Actually not, in the right side it's showing what segment you can run DX10 level graphics on using OpenGL rather Then D3D. This is probably related to how Steam collects data, and that the talk is aimed at D3D centric people.
