    Recent driver updates have enabled the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT to close the gap, and sometimes pass, NVIDIA's budget-priced top-end GPU. See full article...

  2. GIGABYTE B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 Motherboard Review

    I keep flip flopping with that on my mATX builds. I'm pretty sure I set it up that way with the 4090/5800X3D rig because their radiators are both exhaust but the 5090/9800X3D is a bit more complicated. The GPU fan shroud is maybe 10mm or so from the bottom of the case so definite intake...

  5. Windows 12 Is No Longer Expected This Year as Microsoft Prepares 25H2 Build Update for Windows 11

    Don't think I've heard of that one but I don't really tinker with Linux much but it does look interesting.

  6. Windows 12 Is No Longer Expected This Year as Microsoft Prepares 25H2 Build Update for Windows 11

    I remember that and had the same problem. I think it was an Audigy 2 or something similar. Lol, mine is still in the closet from when I retired that build.

  7. Windows 12 Is No Longer Expected This Year as Microsoft Prepares 25H2 Build Update for Windows 11

    I will if it offers a significant new API feature like DX10-12 as happened over the years but otherwise with W11 I wasn't in any rush and nobody really knows what's in store for 12. At this point as I'm getting older, I'm just tired of having to learn new GUIs and where they buried the settings...

  8. Windows 12 Is No Longer Expected This Year as Microsoft Prepares 25H2 Build Update for Windows 11

    True enough but they do have some odd cadence planning going on ever since XP ended. I do remember how they'll often have multiple OSes in development at the same time and depending on which reaches the goal quicker, that can affect what gets released like what happened with Vistas and 7. I...

  9. Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch Hold the Lead for Gaming Handheld Systems, with Windows-Based Offerings Gaining Traction, According to New Survey

    A new survey shows Nintendo and Valve leading the pack in the gaming handheld sector, but Windows-based devices are closing the gap. See full article...

    I guess someone at the top didn't take too kindly to the jokes about the name. https://www.techpowerup.com/338552/nvidia-renames-geforce-rtx-5090dd-to-rtx-5090d-v2

  11. Windows 12 Is No Longer Expected This Year as Microsoft Prepares 25H2 Build Update for Windows 11

    I haven't tried it in a server environment, but that does sound like a nightmare, but I've mostly had good experiences with it on my rig and laptop. I wouldn't even have it, though, but both came with it, the rig started as a prebuilt, which came with it, and then I transplanted various parts to...

  12. Resizable BAR Could Be Left Turned Off by Default by NVIDIA Drivers on Some Systems

    I can't remember if it's official or not, but is has been around for at least a decade and widely used. Pretty sure there was something official a very long time ago and then NVIDIA dropped it and but allowed the community to continue with its own version. I first heard about it sometime around...

  13. Resizable BAR Could Be Left Turned Off by Default by NVIDIA Drivers on Some Systems

    So finally spent some time testing on the laptop. Updated the driver to 576.88 and installed the latest Profile Inspector and adjusted the settings. Along the way, I also found yet another toggle for the dGPU (between mux/optimus NV CP and Windows, it's quite the adventure finding all the...

  14. Windows 12 Is No Longer Expected This Year as Microsoft Prepares 25H2 Build Update for Windows 11

    For me it's usually reinstalling the apps and redoing all the various settings. Not brain surgery by any means, but my day job has enough tedious details for me to keep track of that I don't normally want to come home and deal with more, but I do in stages. For instance, tonight I put about an...

  15. DLSS 3 Accelerates Performance In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl by 2.4X on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs at 4K with All Settings Maxed

    Yeah, and I still get a little stressed over 100-150GB installs but I know that usually pays off with nice cut-scenes or texture packs. Thankfully some 4TB NVMe drives have begun dropping in price over the last 12-24 months. Happy to have one each in the 9800X3D rig and laptop.
