Yes, it is sad. However, (ideally) it's a self-resolving issue. (Ideally) If Msft keeps up with 'those initiatives' and force out good talent, eventually they'll have to shrink msft gaming, and those folks will be contributing to non-DEI projects. If true, this would help explain the 'organic'...

At least from what I've seen so far, PCIe 5.0 NVMe drives aren't a huge improvement over Gen4 drives. How much DRAM cache is on-board these? I know this is a PR, but we'd all really appreciate some actual technical details. QLC, TLC, MLC? pSLC cache size? DRAM speed+cache size? Board layout...

Good Talent being forced out of a 'Toxic' business culture, doesn't sound so bad (for the rest of us*). *I'm sure 'on a personal level' this is 'not fun'. Esp. for those w/ families to support.

Feel free to call me paranoid or whatever... Mass-distributed AI-capable machines on The Internet of Things, sounds like a recipe for 'whacky and terrible' SkyNet. At the least, this should 'escalate' the capabilities of Bot Nets to the point your PC could be considered 'a matter of National...

Addressing the thread title, alone: What'd we expect? Msft is 'trimming the fat' (from their PoV). All those studios and teams cost money, whether they're making profitable games, or not. It'll upset things, yes. But, the past has taught us: those 'let go' (of exceptional competency/passion)...

@ this point, I'd be all for a separate PSU (on-card or external, ala multi-chip Voodoo) -48VDC, 12V converted on-card?

600W Design Power? Can we have active phase change heat pump loops, yet (again)?

a 'dead' (or defective CMOS batt.) can and will cause issues that a merely "absent" CMOS batt. will not. [My favorite: 'whacky' RTC behavior] However, OP's symptoms are more in-line w/ my experiences w/ a short. Last time I had something similar happen, I was foolishly trying out a server...

Seems like the semi-regular revision to a product that's been common for a decade+. Unimpressive. How about a USB 3.2 SATA-III + PATA/UATA w/ USB-PD compatibility for drive power? Heck, how about a PCIe-based SATA RAID controller w/ a customized microcontroller to convert SATA commands to...

I miss when model numbers were easy enough to 'decode' for even a relative neophyte.

This, has the potential to be fantastic! HDII was a smash hit. All those gamers suddenly becoming aware of this crap will change feelings towards account requirements at large. This does leave me wondering what hand Arrowhead did or did not have in this decision. Because, this is going to ruin...

I wonder if Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (or w/e is closest to The Spanish/EU FCC) might be of help? If this were Stateside, your symptoms are something the FCC would (potentially) address. Reason being: If whatever interferance is effecting your system and LAN, it's...

'Bought 2 3 keys off the sites advertised on TPU. 1st, I had an issue with, and in less than 12hours I had a reply w/ detailed instructions, that worked. No new key needed. WS2019, IIRC. 2nd, was 100% fine. Win 10 Pro, IIRC. 3rd, I bought, expecting to have a problem. Specifically...

It's for the best I'm nowhere near a Microcenter. I'd be all over this, and I have 2 high-tier AM4 setups, already.
