Welcome to the Forum!

Yep, its why I always respect those that have a passion for the subject matter. Especially on HEDT, especially in the X58 era. SandyBridge made it much easier to jump in but you also lost some of the granularity iirc.

Very interesting, going to try it in a VM here soon. Thanks for sharing!

Source Just finished my first playthrough of the base game and DLC (which was included), about 105 hours total doing a healthy amount of side quests and such. Very much enjoyed the title personally and highly recommend it. The landscapes in this game are beautiful IMHO.

Sounds like Windows is trying to install what it thinks it needs. I believe you can disable automatic driver installation and see how it behaves.

So, anyone here been playing? I've got around 150 hours in the game so far, been playing with a buddy of mine for a couple hours each day. Got to say loving the PVE and how self aware the game is.

What is the general configuration of the M6800 including the sBIOS? LVDS or eDP panel?

Those cards likely do not support eDP if I had to wager a guess. Some laptops will post but the card may not work, do you have a monitor to plug in? perhaps it might display something there.

This has been my experience as well but at about 950MB/s over TB3 and USB 3.2 Gen2 on a laptop from NVME to NVME.

I dont understand why people are like that. I just try to remember that the amount of people like that are likely the same as its ever been, they just have the ability now to amplify their message.

Well I would update that thread :) I know some people have been waiting on your response there.

Moved my ITX system on to the ATX open air bench, tomorrow I plan to test out an NVME to PCIE adapter I purchased a little while back. I was able to formally attach it to the open bench. Its also nice to be back on the 1300w PSU and get rid of the 2 PSU solution I was using before.

Not the one from xvision is it? I was also hoping to see some 3080's in the wild but nothing in my strike zone, I may have to sell some stuff to build another project PC as I'd like to get a 7900 XTX but dont want to give up my EVGA 3090 lol priorities

Welcome to the Forums!

Well its worth investigating to determine if it was a faulty unit (which is also a concern) or faulty process. Doesnt seem like they are going to invest more time into it though.

Hell yeah, thats lovely

While not good news I did still chuckle at "W11 Cancer" lol Have you tried to set up the drive exclusively through cmd? I sometimes have issues with Disk Management albeit, fairly uncommon.

Would you mind testing with something like H2Testw? Unless you have already done something similar? It essentially will write dummy data to the drive to verify its capacity. From what I understand the software is free to use. (Haven't used it personally) Otherwise the results are promising, obviously not blazing fast but still more than enough for what I would use it for (Games and VM's) Thanks for sharing what you have thus far!

Very interested to see if those work out as I have a workstation/server that would love the SSD treatment for the VM's. Would make my life so much easier in terms of cables too lol. Even if its SATA based and not NVME, still would be worthwhile if the storage is actually there. I agree also with your perspective on resolution, at 27" 2560x1440p @ 100% is very comfortable. On my 4K120hz TV I still use 125% and thats at 42" probably around 3-5Ft away pending how I am using the screen.

Horizon Forbidden West and Helldivers 2!

Welcome to the Forums! Some sub-forums are more active than others but we do have some regulars here and there :)

I will definitely look into that, thanks for the tip!

So @Hiew ran an idea by me last night and unfortunately the proposition does seem quite attractive given the price points things are right now. Heres the scenario I have been entertaining, Selling the RTX 3090 for about 800(+/-) and buying the 7900 XTX. The XTX looks to be a healthy bump in performance over the 3090 and in some titles actually quite substantial. Would only need to spend about 150 or so tops for the upgrade. Before anyone points it out I really dont care about Ray Tracing or DLSS. Raster performance is more important to me.

I still want one to play with, finances and time have been discouraging against it but perhaps this year unless they release something.

They are probably focusing on getting gaming optimized before worrying about VR. The current product stack wouldnt do that well with VR if my understanding of it is more or less accurate (resource heavy).
