Very true!
Not going to happen that segmentation of Desktop staying Dual channel, then workstation/pro 4 quad channel then server 8 channel will stay the same as that is done on purpose.
I've been enjoying it. But I'm not a major CS player so don't have an extensive history of CS GO usage to compare it.
The frame rates are so high its pretty much playable on everything which is good.
Decided to download CS 2 so going to install this driver and check it out.
This driver supports this game but AMD original release note didn't show it but has been updated now.
New Game Support
Counter Strike 2
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
PAYDAY 3
I use FF and Edge and avoid chrome so that explains why I don't see those issues. A bunch of people have reported chrome issues with the 23.9.2 drivers on reddit.
This was a beta driver last week and checking the release notes looks the same.

That in bold hasn't changed.
And since I don't have those 2 games I will wait and see on this one before installing.
23.9.2 has...
Not really when I had a 5800X it required more per core tuning for PBO and I run a Samsung B-die memory kit so my sub-timings are done also.
On the 5800X3D all core -30 pbo is it and kept the same timing for the bdie no other tweaking was done.
As you are doing your PBO tuning keep an eye out...
I was being sarcastic that's why the smiley face at the end.
To add to your original point most of us won't hit the TBW rating and probably replace the drive before even getting half way.
And I did test it last night to see if there was a difference performance-wise in FF by moving the cache...
Your time spy numbers look ok.
Your original Cinebench before you changed priority was low looks better now this is my run at normal priority.
-30 on all cores PBO
This is a good point because most people don't even come close.
My Gen 1 Corsair 1TB MP600 Drive is rated for 1800 TBW I purchased it in 2019 so will be hit 5 years old dec 2024.

If they were releasing a refresh in 2024 I could have seen it being Zen 5 + RDNA 3.5 however I agree with Darakian RDNA 5 looks good if we are talking a 2026 time frame.
