Yeah I know that. Is there anything preventing use of the Win10 drivers in a Win11 environment? I used to prep very stupid boxes for this under 2016. There shouldn't be any difference in driver model.

Well that's one more reason to wipe Win11 from the migration list. How are Win10 drivers?

The WD data sheet The MSI mobo manual You are interested in a gen4 TLC 3D NAND NVMe marketed for gaming performance. You wish to have it interface with the native gen3 M.2 slot on a B365M board. This is acceptable function and performance similar to a Steam Machine. It is not free. The price...

Really? When we're centering entire performance classes around it? What is 5% really? Looks a bit wild when you start to open up the big picture and boxing cards into place. As a FPS ceiling it's an omen, as an average it's a lot and as a 1% minimum it's massive. There are reasons we...

I don't typically weigh in with my specs and Steam prompted me for the survey every single launch for ALL of June. So, ~a dozen times. Just not in the mood to share that data when shuffling components around is more interesting. The majority of people here are gamers™ yet for some reason very...

It is insane to me that any of this is somehow a gacha. Did Microsoft pull the ladder again? Here are some of my systems: Athlon 2650e | 2GB DDR2 | Flareon 10GbE: Runs Windows Server 2016. Windows 11 untested. Likely ladder-pulled over missing CPU instructions. Phenom II X4 955 | 8GB DDR3...

I have only ever had this issue when running redundant network controllers and running file transfers to the host name instead of a specific IP. Make sure you are using the fast IP for these transfers and it should be fine. If there's some kind of net load balancing or priority gacha, no idea...

Program isolation that for whatever reason cannot be solved by virtualization or containers. Anybody can find a purpose to have a two system setup but two systems sharing a case? Even with my gigantic steel server coffin I think of a SBC shaped like a peripheral. Like a BC-250. Imagine having...

I see zero benefit to this whatsoever unless you're planning on doing ice bucket overclocking sometimes. X3D was never introduced as an overclocking product and so far there hasn't been anything outstanding. The Gigabyte RX 9070 is a tri-axial product similar to my Sapphire Pulse 9070 XT but...

Had to think about this one a bit. I have some very peculiar forum habits. At desktop I'm usually reading everything on the "big" 1080p screen. My portable display is usually hooked up in 1080p mode but text is difficult. If doing a news piece, I might pull up a TPU page and record from desktop...

Isn't that a 6c/12t part? Interesting... Significantly slower base, slightly higher boost, more L1, less L3, single thread champion but otherwise the same performance. My 3600 is a Zen 2 part and you're looking at a Zen 4 part that is 160% the performance with much higher clocks. Go for it...

You're clicking on the directx table to find it? I can see the vanilla 9070 and a GRE version in there but the 9070 XT is gone and the 9060 is missing. That's crazy.

Terrible. Try sorting your data. That's some fair movement for an imaginary percentage of total volume in laptop and desktop but good. My RX580 (-0.04%) is still slowly losing ground along with the 7900 XTX (0.01%). Until we figure out the meaning of AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics, the 9070/9060...

I still main 22H2 for personal and work purposes. It needs to be able to JUST work and everything from 23H2 has been pure headache. No idea how often I reinstall but main is doing pretty good. Snowflake servers last way longer for some reason. Guys, outside of productivity do the builds...

My suggestion if you're lunching power supplies is take a look at your loadout and what could pull so much power. In the early times my Pentium 4 was lunching anything 420-700W every few months. Just couldn't win with that one. Hopped over to Phenom II X4 and even the lowest quality ~550W...
