Over the past few years Asus has developed a (bad) reputation for providing close to zero support, but it wasn't always that way - back in the day they were just as good as Gigabyte and MSI. Just when did things change for the worse at Asus?
I bought the RAM for my new PC from Newegg. They sent it in a bubble envelope.
There's no visible damage to either the RAM or the clamshell packaging and I was able to boot it up and install Windows so maybe I'm just needlessly fretting over this, but I figure it can't hurt to ask for a second...
The last time RAM prices hit rock bottom was just after Elpida declared bankruptcy - since then, and for virtually the entire DDR4 era, prices have cycled between merely ok and sky high.
With Intel leaving the NAND business and there being only 4 players left, 3 of whom are the same companies...
If I were to purchase a datacenter-style SSD that goes into the PCIe x16 slot, would I be able to boot from it via NVMe? Or do mobos only recognize NVMe SSDs if they're plugged into the M.2 slot?
Perhaps this is true for office machines, but none of the gamer-grade AMD prebuilts use an APU. All of those use Ryzen 5000 + dGPU.
Of course there is. It's already been mentioned several times earlier in this thread, but there's absolutely no reason for AMD to sell these cheap, low margin...
And even with Renoir on laptops, it's the raw CPU performance that buyers find interesting, not the wimpy Vega GPU which Tiger Lake has already surpassed.
With the extreme shortages of everything AMD/TSMC 7nm likely to continue for for the foreseeable future, perhaps even the entire generation, how feasible would it be for AMD to pull a Rocket Lake and move Ryzen 3 and lower products over to GloFo 12nm?
This is an upload to a (wired) NAS, so no internet is involved.
Reading back the same file afterwards for integrity verification was much smoother, with a very consistent 350-400 mbps:
My wifi speed repeated climbs up to ~350 mbps then drops back down to ~50 mbps every few seconds - here's a screenshot:
I don't expect wifi to be 100% stable or anything, but the regularity here makes me wonder if there's some kind of configuration issue.
This is true for well-optimized AAA titles taking advantage of the latest technologies like DX12.
That said, I play a lot of games from smaller studios with little optimization from the developers and none whatsoever from Nvidia/AMD. Heck, I played a game last year (released in 2018) that ran...
This is great. Like you, I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 last year, although unlike you I went for the standard SAC release as I didn't understand Windows 10 that well back then. Ever since then, I've been second guessing whether I made the right decision or if LTSC would've given me...
I have a 1080 right now.
I'm thinking of upgrading to RTX 3000 or Big Navi later this year when they come out, but the idea of being forced onto a new driver and WDDM 2.6 is seriously giving me pause.Yet at the same time I can't stay on a 1080 forever so I'm wondering if there's any way out of...
Microsoft trashed WDDM back in Windows 10 1803/version 2.4 and hasn't fixed it in the 3 releases since.
Since current versions of Windows contain old WDDM versions I can get around the issue by sticking with old pre-1803 drivers, but if this keeps dragging on I'll eventually have to upgrade my...
Yes Yes Yes thanks for the copypasta :rolleyes:
Everyone knows Nadella doesn't want people to be running LTSC on desktops and laptops since it doesn't fit with his Windows-as-a-service strategy, but since most of us don't work for Microsoft and couldn't care less about what Nadella thinks of...
