Alien: Isolation heading to Mac and Linux next week.
http://www.pcgamer.com/alien-isolation-heading-to-mac-and-linux-next-week/
Alien Isolation Is Just The Latest NVIDIA-Only Linux Game.
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Alien-Isolation-Bench-Friendly
AMD and Intel GPUs have been listed as NOT supported for the Linux version, but fully supported for the Mac build of Alien Isolation. The simple reason is that Intel and AMD Linux drivers suck. For a comparison to the Windows version of the game please reference the [H]ardocp review where an AMD 285 could run it @1440p. These are two vendors to definitely blacklist from your SteamBox build.
The minimum system requirements for both versions are below:
Mac
2.0Ghz CPU with at least 4GB RAM
1GB or better graphics card
Mac OS 10.10.4 or later
AMD 5000 series graphics card or better, NVIDIA 600 series or better and Intel Iris Pro series graphics card or better
Linux
2.6Ghz Dual-Core CPU with at least 4GB RAM
1GB or better graphics card
Ubuntu 14.04 (64bit) or SteamOS
The game requires an NVIDIA 600 series graphics card or better running Driver version 355.11 or better. Intel AMD and GPUs are not supported
A Steam account is required
