    Baldur's Gate 3 wins Game of the Year.

    disable karmic dice. That's the one that screws with properly equipped players.

    Large Address Aware

    Missing a lot of information here, you'd need to be running a 64 bit OS and then it could use 4GB Since WoW has a 64 bit exe, you'd just want to use that newer version...

    Graphical glitch in Word and Outlook (Office 365)

    It's tied in to a combination of things, mostly how the rendering changed in modern versions of 10 and 11. It's a compatibility issue with certain graphical setups - not the hardware or software, but certain software settings on certain hardware configs - one user may always have a second...

    AMD Zen 4c Not an E-core, 35% Smaller than Zen 4, but with Identical IPC

    The article linked mentioned they used denser SRAM? as part of the cache. I'd have to re-read again

    Running out of RAM

    That's not true, modern budget SSD's are still trash and wear out fast. I deal with them constantly, especially WD greens that are dead in under 6 months from casual users doing dumb things. Not if you disable it, which you clearly ignored what that was a reply to

    Anything on the IGP saves performance - it may be tiny, but it's something.

    AMD Ryzen 8000 "Granite Ridge" Zen 5 Processor to Max Out at 16 Cores

    I've never seen more than 6, and most of them are lightly used. Any excess is from the OS/background tasks. usually the 1-2 threads for the 3D rendering get maxed out, then possibly one for AI, one for world generating (in games like minecraft) and beyond that you get low usage tasks for audio...

    ...Are you clicking and holding to move instead of just clicking once where you want them to walk to?

    NASA Achieves milestone Solid State Battery

    Uh, just gunna say that 99% of aussie cars won't achieve even 400K They might in biased tests on flat highways for the entire tank, but in city driving they wont. These things vary a lot between countries, but the USA does have a trend towards large and wasteful. Probably because some parts of...

    Baldur's Gate 3

    It's your cloud synced save games not being synced yet - it's your internet speed, and you closing the launcher(s) before they finish uploading post-game.

    Running out of RAM

    That's exactly what i just made clear is not how it behaves. It always has a page file, that setting just tells it to delete it when its done. Which is terrible, as it crashes some programs that need it's space available instantly, and adds wear to SSDs. Why have it write the same shit over and...

    Long AM5 POST times

    The training aspect is the first cold boot and goes for a set time, if that happens every boot then your setup isnt stable and its not loading them - it's using a mix of those settings and whatever recovery option that motherboard maker chose to include to get it booting. My now-sold x370...

    I can check for you, but its usually just down to the choice of what display is the primary (PEG 1/2/ or IGP) Inside the OS, they power down based on your chosen settings, so the high performance power plan keeps the PCI-E lanes at full speed while balanced will let them drop to 1.1 to save...

    Cooler Master Tempest GP27Q

    HDR is basically a confusing mess because HDMI was poop. HDR changes your colour mode to 12 bit, but then has to drop from 4:4:4 to 4:2:0 So to get more colour depth, you lose quality. Same goes for high refresh rates - my 165Hz displays drop to 144Hz on HDMI, then 120Hz if you use HDR (while...

    OFFICIAL Game Soundtracks You Love

    Baldurs gate 3. It has less impact watching a video on it, but one optional boss fight just has a dramatic Opera song kick in with the Villain himself doing the singing about how he's gunna off you like some disney villain. Since this happens nowhere else in the game and this is right at the...
