My old HP ENVY laptop is still running Windows 8.1 and after using it for like an hour today it made miss Windows 8.1 where i can control my PC the way i want to and plus i wasnt forced to use Microsoft store and DCH drivers like Windows 10... I never had an issue with the OS itself other than causing BSODs at times because i was testing my undevolt. I installed open shell and some tweaks to avoid using Metro as i always hated it.. At least they kinda learned their lesson with Windows 10. Also Windows 8.1 wasnt so bloated with junk apps unlike Windows 10/11.

No idea. Like i said its a downgrade from the 2022 model. Also it has less USB-C ports 17 inch laptops doesnt sell well as they used to especially Lenovo ones. Going with 16" and smaller is a smart business decision.

There are others you can use like StopUpdates10, Windows Update Blocker and etc. Every one of them are pretty simple to use and installing one of them and using O&O ShutUp10++ you'll have a similar experience as using Windows 7/8.1

I like the new models especially that all of them will use 16" QHD screens but the Pro 7 looks like a major downgrade with the design imo and removing the fingerprint scanner and its disappointing that the AMD version of the Pro 7 wont be available in the USA..........

Im sure most people already know but support for Windows 8.1 will end on January 10, 2023, Also support for Windows 7 will fully end on that same date as well https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/3/23537688/microsoft-windows-7-8-end-of-support-security-updates RIP to the last Microsoft OS that we was allowed to control Windows Update without any 3rd party tweaks 😂 Also in the OS marketshare Windows 8.1 currently has only 2.59% users https://gs.statcounter.com/os-version-market-share/windows/desktop/worldwide

I see and also i forgot that CES was this week..... I hate being busy... It doesnt seem to be as Nvidia never mentioned about the speeds. All of the articles said about it is that its their lowest voltage ever. I guess they're heavily relying on DLSS 3.

That's good to hear. Next time dont buy stuff from shady sellers!. That's pretty creepy..... like others have already said call the police or go to the police station to report the guy. If all else fails you probably have to move for safety reasons

Sadly Rockstar are no longer the same company as before. A lot of people who worked on GTA and RDR are gone like Dan Houser and Lazlow so GTA VI wont be as good as the previous ones especially the new direction they're going. Yea, despite the long development time and hype it still ended up a buggy mess at release.

Quick question does lovelace has better memory bandwidth or something because the Memory bit bus castration on the laptop versions are very concerning especially if you're running games on QHD or even higher. RTX 4090 - 256bit Bus RTX 4080 - 192bit Bus RTX 4070 - 128bit Bus RTX 4060 - 96bit Bus RTX 4050 - 96bit Bus Cant rely on benchmarks until we see the real world performance

Wow... Definitely a druggie, You're very lucky that nothing else happened to you. Watch your back and/or just in case carry a box cutter or a razor for protection. Druggies are violent especially when they're going through withdrawals

Wow... The only positive about it is that it uses 8GBs of VRAM instead of 6GBs like the RTX 3060/2060 According to notebookcheck it says that the RTX 4060 has only a 96 Memory bit bus and i hope thats a typo because it clearly got castrated...... https://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-4060-Laptop-GPU-Benchmarks-and-Specs.675692.0.html

Well as long you got the refund everything should be good. This seller should of at least tell you whats going on. Communication is key when selling things online.

Where did you order it from? It would be better to buy it from Newegg, Amazon and some other reliable places. USPS is bad but not that bad for a package to take 11 days. I would contact the seller to see what going on.

That is pretty amazing!. Also most people already have baking soda and super glue stored somewhere in their homes.

Yea i agree. GTA V's world is way more alive than Cyberpunk 2077's world and i will say the same thing about RDR2's world as well. The NPCs in both games are way more livelier than in Cyberpunk and there are a lot of things going on.

Ray tracing is still worthless. Most of times its not worth the FPS drops even with DLSS/FSR Also its dumb that DLSS 3 is only supported by the 40 RTX Series. At this point FSR might be the DLSS killer especially with 3.0 and its supported by all modern NVIDIA and AMD GPUs because its software based.

Cyberpunk is a good game but so many missed opportunities But i'll say this Cyberpunk's gameplay is miles ahead of gta v because you can play any gamestyle you want depending how you build your character. GTA V still dominates though.

Great results man!. 😄 It should last for a while because i am almost at the 6 month mark and my temps are still good. I recently cleaned my fans last week because they was getting kinda dusty and my temps went down a bit. As long you do that every few months you should be good!.

Most modern PCs that are running Windows 10/11 support modern standby without issues. It could be a problem with your Windows 10 LTSC installation. Most likely it needs to be updated if you're still using the one that was posted on NBR before Check out this thread here:

Bypassing optimus improves CPU performance somewhat because with the IGP disabled your CPU works a bit less and nothing is bottlenecking it. Also you should monitor your temps when running benchmarks if your laptop isnt throttling because that can affect your scores too The major improvements in by passing optimus is in gaming mostly E-Sports games like CSGO, Overwatch and etc that are more CPU dependent than GPU dependent.

Linus released a video about Honeywell 7950

I have the 2020 version and standby works fine. I had problems with AMD drivers in the past because the stock ones are pretty bad and standby was one of the issues with them. Like i said in the other thread it could be a problem with advanced optimus. You could try disabling optimus and let your RTX 3060 take over the display and then use standby, If works normally then its a problem with the AMD drivers otherwise i am at a lost at this point.. Here is my power option settings: My Legion never goes to standby mode when the screen is off. That's a steal there!.

Yea ofc since its the only paste that works well with my Laptop and its great paste for all gaming laptops, Its almost been 6 months since the repaste and it hasnt degraded one bit!. I tried out SYY before but it didnt last long, I have the 2020 version and i heard the 2021 and 2022 versions improved the paste formula with decent results.

You should always use DDU when uninstalling AMD/NVIDIA drivers so it wont leave a trace of anything and causing issues when installing newer drivers. NVcleaninstall is good when installing NVIDIA drivers without all the bloatware.

They make it hard for people to feel sorry for them after these same employees been shadowbanning people they dont like politically for BS reasons for years. I am no fan of Elon but seeing these elites, the media and the woke losing their minds over what Elon doing with twitter especially yesterday by unbanning Trump is pretty damn entertaining!. Wish he kept Twitter Blue though, Blue checkmark Elites was freaking out over paying a $8 month and allowing regular people to get access to the blue checkmark too. Elon would be a hero in my book if he destroys twitter, Its nothing but a toxic cesspool anyways. Take Facebook and half of reddit with it as well. It would be a win for humanity!.
