  1. Remember also, the xbox1 used an AMD APU It features a custom AMD Durango GCN 1.0 that's on a 28nm chip. The nearest amd & Nvidia cards used 6 or 8GB of memory on them. The AMD Scarlett is the GPU inside the Xbox Series X, and it was built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture on a 7nm production process. That right there covers why the consoles were able to jump the amount of vram they are using.
  2. And here's another part of the reason we get people migrating to this site from OCN once they know about it..... This was in my notifications TODAY The problem is that they were for things from back in 2020.... And people wonder why VerticalScope has a poor rep in regards to keeping stuff updated?
  3. lol, maybe we should just say "Nvidia's PREDATORY practices" instead of business practices....
  4. Have you tried installing the windows 10 driver using compatibility mode?
  5. An older game, free on Epic this week is Dying Light. They're giving away Dying Light: The Following Enhanced Edition which has all the dlc from the first year and the season pass content. So if anyone hasn't played it yet and want's it before playing Dying Light 2, it's a good way to get it.
  6. I also haven't had any later models after wifi5, but I DID switch from linksys to a netgear, and while the netgears connection was better, I saw an actual drop in speed even though it was rated for higher speeds. Now I'm using the Cable companies modem with the built in wifi 6 and have much faster speeds but random drops/disconnects.
  7. (sigh) combine it with an AI engine and we'll have skynet for sure....
  8. Might give U a hint what to look at/for. All Games Confirmed To Be Using Unreal Engine 5 So Far GAMERANT.COM Unreal Engine 5 is the latest version of Epic Games’ creation platform, and several upcoming games are confirmed to utilize it.
  9. I'm running a 2700x on a x470 board. the bios updates are kinda whack with these including some that have certain extra's needed for 3rd gen ryzen cpu's to be able to use all 4 mem slots right, maybe they also effect ealier cpu's if running later bios without the "added" stuff being run? Including a shot of the relevant bios updates & info for my gigabyte board so U can get an idea of what I mean.
  10. For my 2.1 speaker needs I use 2 different sets of creative powered speakers I got used years ago. 1 actually from a dumpster where I lived at the time because the speaker wires had been chewed. I replaced the rca cables and bought a stereo speaker plug to hook it up to the speaker output on my comp and it worked great. The set I bought new were $39.99 (I think) and over the years the volume controller has gotten where it shorts makes noise in the speakers when it's adjusted. (It's a cheaper set than the dumpster recovered set). Sound is still pretty good though.
  11. I swear this should be Nvidia's new corp theme music....
  12. If you're gonna use the argument of mergers shouldn't be allowed because they they will hurt a company if the purchasing company makes a game exclusive, then you need to stop ALL pre-existing developers from being purchased by any company. After all, Naughty Dog was purchased by Sony in 2001(17 years after it was founded) and if you look at the games published and their platforms, you'll see that PS became the sole platform between 2001 and 2022 when they released 2 games also on PS and Windows.

  13. (sigh) Somebody explain to Intel that Guys/Girls being hot is a good thing, Processors, Not so much.....
  14. FINALLY! Someone who understands what 'ENHANCEMENT"is supposed to be about!
  15. lol, Remember when "enhanced" use to generally mean it was BIGGER? And people wonder why us old folks get confused when they start advertising the New Improved stuff!
  16. OMG! My first thought was "Does this mean Intel will finally have a 5 and 7 nm chip of their OWN?"
  17. Geralt = Edge with video upscaling, while Bing AI = Roach looking for porn....
  18. I can only speak as to what actually happened to me. I was using TPM via the encryption abilities of my Ryzen 2700x (so as to make my comp Win 11 compatible even though I hadn't switched yet) Had a bios issue and while tracking it down I did the old school clearing of the CMOS as 1 of my ways to find the problem. When I finally got back up and a semi current bios installed,when I tried switching TPM back on it told me it was unable to because the key didn't match the 1 on the drive. Doing it anyway caused my boot drive to disappear. Turn TPM back off and Boot drive was back. I wonder if I would have had to do a clean install of windows if I'd upgraded the cpu?
