The new search is a work in progress. You can still select all the same filters though, none of them went away. Any suggestions to improve the search experience?

Preaching to the choir, but this is basically how it's been for 20+ years. Mobility Radeon 9700; actually a Radeon 9600 Pro. GTX 280M; actually a last gen 9800 GTX. Mobility Radeon HD 5870; actually a Radeon HD 5770. GTX 580M; actually a GTX 560 Ti. And so on, and so on.

All the original Gamebryo bugs now wrapped in UE5's visual bugs and issues. A match made in Hell Oblivion.

They are all Catalyst. That's the name of both the distribution and the control center. If you don't want Catalyst Control Center, don't install it, just deselect it from the advanced install menu. You won't find any driver download that is not called Catalyst; that is quite literally the name...

For WinXP you want to use anything from 10.2-11.10 or just 12.1, ignore all the later Catalyst releases. Earlier releases back to and including 9.1 can also work but you don't want to go back too far because you'll end up rolling back API feature support and major bug fixes on those older driver...

Yep AMD always has their own reference card built even if it never goes to retail. Here's a list of previous AMD first party card designs that consumers only saw AIBs release: "Radeon HD 8970" thermal design prototype: Radeon R9 285(X) reference design: Radeon R9 390X thermal and PCB...

Okay so it's Meteor Lake-PS with HT disabled.

Once again...

The graphics settings in HL2 RTX are 'low' and 'high', TAA-U, NIS, or native res and that's about the extent of it. You can disable the updated/upscaled meshes and surfaces, or enable some traditional post processing options, but the RTX features are pretty sparse. Low creates a boiling...

Emphasis mine. I think you see the problem here. You're right though, the hardware and feature set are quite pervasive by now, which begs the question as to why it runs so terribly on that hardware and feature set. Filter through the negative reviews to get past the noise of people complaining...

Back when Half Life 2 came out and GPUs were undergoing their fourth major API overhaul in as many years, the game had support tiers for each contemporary API step. This included DirectX 7, 8.1, and 9_0. Each had their own rendering mode and would allow the game to be more or less playable on...

Thus continues MediaTek's zero-to-hero journey in HPC and embedded compute. They have been crushing it the last few years with these partnerships even when they aren't behind the core logic designs, they've got a handle on fast I/O and interconnects. The relationship with TSMC makes a lot of...

A decent number of SFF cases will have an extra slot width for the GPU to allow airflow, but not enough to host a full 3-slot card. By being 2.5 slots the GPU won't be touching the side panel/mesh and can still fit into the case. Zotac shot themselves in the foot unless they include a 2-slot I/O...

Intel Corporation today announced that its board of directors has appointed Lip-Bu Tan, an accomplished technology leader with deep semiconductor industry experience, as chief executive officer, effective March 18. He succeeds Interim Co-CEOs David Zinsner and Michelle (MJ) Johnston Holthaus...

Since Fiji in 2015. That's how AMD made the R9 Nano a reality; it's just a Fury X with an extremely strict power and voltage limit. Nothing more. If you drag the power limit back up and balance the voltage around 1v you get a card that is 1:1 with a Fury X but at like 225W instead of 300W. Vega...
