nVIDIA's business practice (because they can and can afford it because they have large market share and popularity, they are like Intel of GPU world) is to deliberately gimp their cards so you need to buy more expensive card if you don't want to replace it to fast. In old times, let's say Vanta...

I've got similar problem. If I try to open Radeon Software from tray or from shortcut, nothing happens and consequently overlay (Ctrl+Shift+O) don't work. I need to log-out or restart to be able to open Radeon Software and than overlay also works. True, open source Radeon drivers are better...

"Fine wine" moniker is maybe over-stretched but this statement has some truth. Maybe today this moniker is not so plausible but with R300 (Radeon 9700, my favourite graphic card ever) it was the truth. Radeon was almost always cheaper and better alternative to me than GeForce, meaning I could...

Nitro+ is quieter and I tend to have my computer as quiet as possible. Once I owned Sapphire HD4850 (I should have bought Toxic version instead), it was regular, loud crap version, there was not silent option on this card, and I bought Zalman VF900-Cu custom cooler with passive heatsinks and...

Long time ago, before release of RX 590, when prices suddenly dropped to somewhat normal levels after crypto-mining craze although I am still mad I did not bought Nitro+ instead of Pulse for various reasons (heavier, longer (I was not sure it would fit in my older case at that time before I...

matrox? They are only one left. Production and development of GPU is tough business. Even big intel had problems fighting with then ATi and nVIDIA on gaming GPU market. Some talented engineers (like from well known and already defunct Silicon Graphics/sgi) and former manufacturers with their...

I've had issues with RX 580 (and overall with Ryzen platform, BIOS issues etc. to extent I cursed the day I ditched intel and nVIDIA for good) but it was polished out after some time. One of my acquaintances bought Vega 56 when it was hot product and replaced it with nVIDIA counterpart of that...

Yes, it is set to weekly by default. I did not notice it, because I rarely leave my computer powered on while away for longer time, or this defragmenation appear in background in not so agressive way so you don't notice perfomance issues. Sometimes I noticed some of my disk drives working in...

I get black sreens or my apps shut down unexpectedly. Maybe I have some issues beside Windows, compatibility, bad coding, whatever. By the way, I've never experienced problem with any of my Intel based rigs previously, even with s939 Athlon64 + DFI LANParty nF4 SLI-DR as with my Ryzen 7 +...

Bill_Bright already answered but I will response to some of it. 1.) I could believe you past Workstation part. I have 16 GB of RAM, it's not to much for this day and age but not small either, and I experienced serious stability issues for just running browsers with multiple tabs open, some of...

You are correct. Anyway, I don't remember last time I defragmented drive (considering the size of drives we all have it would be ludicrous, and I don't even partition my drives anymore, maybe if I would have one large drive), NTFS and Unix based or inspired file systems are more resistant to...

On mechanical drives, files are written in random order because of the way how mechanical drive works for the most part. But there are differences in perfomance of various file systems. NTFS is different than ext4 for example. Some file systems handle large files better like XFS, some are known...

Because I could use smaller SSD and have more available space for programs. Beside servers and for hibernation (if you fill up all of your RAM, usually for hibernation you could get away with smaller reservation space on disk) I don't think that on desktop computer with let's say 64 GB of RAM...

Just a little update, when my RAM was about 11 GB, pagefile did whooping 20 GB. I closed some tabs and when RAM was at 8 GB, pagefile shrinked to 12800 MB, so I will correct myself, Windows dinamically change size of pagefile in every session but not as I expected or would like considering...

It was a joke from my part, that's why smilie to not make confusion. Recap, after my last reply, my pagefile grow to 18003 GB, RAM is 71% full. I don't have anything else but browsers running with more or less tabs open and running in background, I should check extensions or add-ons hibernating...
