What features are limited when you bypass the system requirements on Windows 11?

So, there is a trend developing that does explain why some people are seeing different results than others. So far, the only people who are seeing a watermark and who have confirmed their build number are all still running version 21H2 (specifically, build 22000.1574). That is an old version...

I read it, and what I see is no proof or evidence whatsoever, only some vague reference to someone on some feedback hub making some vague claim. No screenshots. No exact build numbers. No hardware details. I have Windows 11 running on a LOT of computers. ALL of them are fully updated. NONE...

There is no watermark, and there has never been a watermark on any release build of Windows 11. If you have any actual evidence to the contrary, please post it here. Just look at that screenshot, it's not even running 22H2. Looking at the the build version, you can see that it was actually a...

I notice that a lot of people on the internet have a lot of weird ideas about WoW. Many people jump to the conclusion that just because it's an 18 year old game, that means it's the same game that it was 18 years ago. It's not. Significant changes (to both content as well as the game engine)...

Agreed. If you are a World of Warcraft player like I am, then almost nothing beats the 5800X3D right now. Just look at the numbers that Intel put in their own marketing slide. Intel would be the LAST company to exaggerate the performance of an AMD CPU, yet their own marketing slide clearly...

Yeah soundcards can be very hit or miss depending on the system they are in, and are obviously susceptible to RFI (radio-frequency interference) as well as ground-loop issues. I stopped using my X-Fi Titanium HD in my gaming system because I couldn't fully get rid of the background noise. It...

Well, if you are looking to try something different for the "single" opamps, I'd suggest the OPA627. It probably won't be too far off from the OPA2134 you were looking at. But really, the two LME49710 single opamps that it comes with stock are already pretty amazing. They are basically the...

I've done a lot of testing on older hardware using Windows 11. The oldest computer is an Athlon64 X2 laptop from 15+ years ago. It installed fine once requirements were bypassed during install. The newest video drivers available for the onboard video were Vista 64 drivers. They installed...

Here I have my trusty old X-Fi Titanium HD. I've owned it for about a decade now. It has been a great card for me that entire time. For a long time, I used it in my main computer. A couple of years ago I swapped from using the X-Fi Titanium HD in my main computer to using a regular X-Fi...

What powersupply exactly? I assume you used the same powersupply?

Keep in mind also that despite being stuck with the 12.6 legacy drivers, you can still use the latest CAPs: http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/pages/crossfirex-app-profiles.aspx Particularly useful when it comes to keeping crossfire performance optimal. I run 2x 4870x2 in QuadCF and...

I played DirectX11 games with my 2x 4870x2 setup using Feature Level 10_1 for years and it worked great. Compatibility in this regard is completely transparent to the end-user.

CAPs, formerly known as "Crossfire Application Profiles", are now known as "Catalyst Application Profiles" and sometimes even contain improvements for Single-GPU setups.

But we're talking about the 690 in this case supposedly being replaced by another kepler card with the rumored GK110 780. In all of the examples you listed you have dual-GPU cards being replaced by single-GPU cards from an entirely new generation, in most cases bringing new feature sets also...
