And my 7840U doesn’t function if I try to install drivers newer than 24.4.1, what’s your point? Anecdotes :roll:

Thank goodness the results “were recorded for prosperity.” :roll:

In my experience, motherboard integrated audio tends to have a very bad signal to noise ratio. What this means is you’re more prone to hearing undesirable electronic chirps and hums or white noise, especially through amplified speakers. This can be very distracting. Discrete sound cards and...

Mhm yes all 20 of them did… My point was that retail Titan V was a harvested die of a harvested die :laugh:

Titan V missing 1/4 of ROPs and memory bandwidth = full die :confused:

I’ve experienced NVIDIA’s proprietary and AMDGPU on Wayland. Running an AMD 7840U with its 780M IGP (RDNA 3), opening a terminal in Fedora 41 crashes my entire Gnome session. Running an NVIDIA RTX A5000 on Debian 12, Wine/Proton applications flicker and stutter so badly as to be unusable. In...

Why? The 7840U runs a constant 60FPS in the titles I mentioned when it isn’t fighting for its life with 16GB of memory :roll: 16GB devices with an APU of this class are artificially handicapped. I can only assume manufacturers do it so they can sell you next year’s model (that comes with enough...

I seriously caution anybody interested in one of these handhelds against buying a 16GB device. It is not a good experience. Especially under Windows 11, 16GB is not enough memory to run current titles. Once the 3-4GB video memory allocation and the 3-5GB idle usage of Windows are accounted for...

The amount of misunderstanding in the previous comment is staggering. “Paging simply happens when it happens,” unless the user simply clicks “no pagefile” and reboots Windows :laugh: An even better solution to prevent detrimental paging (for Windows users) is to lock pages in memory for their...

The amount of misunderstanding in the previous comment is staggering. First, the claim that Windows uses two page files in a “RAID 0,” while simultaneously only using the least busy drive, contradicts itself. Windows paging operates on a first come, first served basis and will place pages on...

I remember when a 3080 was the “must have card for 4K gaming” :roll: Now it’s the must have card for choppy 1080p gaming with upscaling!

Your random access speed/latency will be orders of magnitude slower, even with VROC backed mdraid on Linux (semi-hardware). Enterprise-adjacent storage has been 4k capable for about a decade. Capable Optane and NAND drives can be easily be converted with the “nvme” command on Linux. Notably...

Unfortunately Intel NAND and Optane drives become read-only once they reach 100-105% of their rated TBW. So trying to speed run the 1300TBW rating isn’t recommended. Even if the media itself can last far beyond that rating.

So let me get this straight. “The Construction Laborers Pension Trust” found out the hard way that stonks don’t always go up, and is now playing dumb pretending not to know what a forward-looking statement is? Classy.

I have been trying to flash a Dell branded Radeon Pro W6600 with another OEM's VBIOS. The card currently contains "W6600-Original.rom" (which was dumped from the card), but I want to flash "W6600=Retail.rom" instead. However, when trying to flash the card, I get the following message...
