Papusan

Hi Aaronne. Very long time since I have heard from you. How long? 3 years? Nice you could come here and say hi. Best regards Papusan

My first (Amd) Radeon graphics card was Radeon X800 XT and X850 XT. Dead. 7970 still alive and my 6870 is dead. My history with AMD. For Nvidia… Gigabyte 1070 and 570 Dead. The GTX 570 was a very good binned Gainward card. This brand does it best in reliability tests. Still couldn’t keep up with my bench hobby. Have loads of cards in my shelves but I avoid AMD, not only because of what it is. Here me Scott Herkelman (HMSCOTT). You can’t win me back. You and Azor destroy your brand. Nvidia or no graphics cards. Can’t have it both. I can live with both the latter but no new Radeon cards on me. Only cheapo old sub 50$ AMD cards.

One of many reports the last years…. But people think newer has to be better. It’s called placebo. Or just malware infected OS. You can’t fix stupid. The sad part… So called smart ass or so called experts can’t see what’s wrong. Maybe they are blind? https://www.neowin.net/amp/windows-11-vs-10-its-not-just-intels-fault-as-microsofts-latest-os-is-less-snappy/

HeHe. I know. I just read tests as the devil read the Bible 🙂 see here. My son used another OS version. He have a jokebook while he pass up our dog while we are on our 1 month vacation. He pinged me up and wondered why the 12500H needed loads of more wattage than his other pc setup home in games. Nothing is always easy to explain, but how the OS behaves is one of the culprits. Not just that he use an jokebook. A combo of two cancers paired together is enough 🙂 Fyi. Søppel in Norwegian is Garbage in English. https://ibb.co/ns0stZT

Here you have a problem as well. Linux ain’t best in everything (performance). This is tested. So no OS offer perfection. Same with the different Windows versions. You just can’t have it all. And that’s damn sad. Microsoft could have done so much better. But prefer work with things a core OS don’t need. They also could optimized the OS much more for performance/snappiness. They have the tools and the skills but they don’t use it fully.

One example. I don’t use it but Microsoft say etc use game mode to reduce services for etc gaming. Why they say so…. Because Windows has services and tasks that kick in and out. Lower service and tasks usually improve snappiness and offer more stable high performance. And that’s even from the stupids at Microsoft that put in more and more unnecessary tasks. Better way do this is tweaking or find the os version that you feel you get a gain from. But no newer OS versions offer better experience in all tasks and applications vs others. Unisex (best in everything) is dead for windows OS. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/games-apps/game-setup-and-play/use-game-mode-gaming-on-pc

You forget snappiness. How fast you go in and out from tasks etc. You can only measure this if you have a multi-boot system with several OS to test. Equal important for some. If you etc render a scene with 2 or 20 or 59 seconds difference after the job is done isn’t that important. Again people have different needs and some feels the difference between their different systems. And there is benchmarks that simulate real computer work. Can’t diminish that. Just hit up pudget test procedures and tests. Then it needs to be tested between the different OS setups. A multi-boot setup is perfect for that.

Spot on. Hardware is already dead on arrival. Look at me nvidia and your sucky 4060 (xx60 series cards) which usually is the Steam gamer kids cards. Now not good enough anymore. Jensen wants 1199$ to fulfill your gaming dreams. If you have two or three tens home this will cost you near 2400-3600$ if you don’t buy them an console. Happy you are an middle age man and with grown up kids bro @Mr. Fox? I’m. If I see the numbers correctly on my small phone. The vram problem with 8GB cards isn’t the main problem here. Just a crappy optimized game that needs the best of the best to run with good enough/stable fps. I could understand a game running awful if you hit the vram buffer all time but if the game still runs as trash on barely 3 years old mid class hardware without this vram limitation then it’s awful. So in short.., Hardware will now have a lifespan at max 2 years cadence. That’s the awful here. And intended!! New hardware is already old when you buy it. You can’t even have a good experience with 500-600$ graphics cards anymore. Perverse! And I’m not sure you can have a nice experience with previous gen cards as 3080(10GB) that nvidia said was their brand new 4K cards. What a joke. People should stop buying new modern graphics cards. Only spend a few dollars on consoles. This is the only fix for the situation we are in (for gamers). $500 cards useless…. 1199$ cards is 70% overpriced so very very bad value. 4090 not that massive price increase over previous gen but still bad value. What’s left?

Tell me your hardware specs and I’ll post some benchmarks numbers you can try compete against. Maybe we could start first with your desktop hardware. So happy benching :) Fyi. Click one of the hwbot links in my signature and you can search up whatever hardware you want to compare with. Etc i9-13900k will be more like i9 13900K in the top search bar on hwbot. They have above 50 different benchmarks you can try only for the processor. Many benchmarks works as real world tests🙂

They could do a lot better but the temping money shifting hands is what’s driving them. See… this. A few months old 4060 and 4060Ti isn’t good enough for coming games. Willed policy. Paid by the hardware manufacturers and the big devil Microsoft. New hardware is old hardware. You need to buy the latest and greatest if you want to play. And even that isn’t good enough. You need minimum 4070Ti or better. 4080 price is what all should pay to play. In short… Greedy devils! Edit. Hope everyone understand my English these vacation days. I post text directly from my head and with my not perfect English. I don’t use any translator. So bare with me if you don’t understand everything. Just reply back and ask for clarification if something isn’t clear 🙂 I understand everything in English but my writing isn’t perfect.

LOOL This is going to be some good irony if it really turns out to be true that AMD CPUs fall way behind in Starfield. https://www.overclock.net/threads/official-nvidia-rtx-4090-owners-club.1800847/post-29232852

Thanks 🙂 My wife tried every day. And they said all is rented out. I don’t like if people don’t fully respect the people that pay their bills. It’s more costly for the apartment if people rent AC. The apartment usually don’t offer this service because of the increased electricity cost (why all apartments don’t have AC is because the weather is normally 26-28C aka not the warmer place on earth - perfect microclimate). But I stepped up in the reception myself today and I’m usually good to talk for myself and in the language they understand and the receptionist had to take a call. Wips they comme up with one within minutes 🙂 And as a fyi I don’t want trade any of my all black crocs bro electro, LOOL Edit. As a note. Not allowed to post about alcohol. But I got a gift on the table in my bungalow when we was out eating. I asked the reception about a bottle whine. They didn’t know. Later the receptionist contacted me. A gift from the cleaners. I was baffled. I treat all people well. But this was an surprise. Some people are their own league. And the cleaners here is very bad paid (from North Africa and spain). Still this guest. Amazing. Some like/likes me 🙂

Old Papusan https://ibb.co/ZNwcHWj Finally….. 🙂 https://ibb.co/4NNB04j

Dang. Graphics cards is in reality cheap hardware. MB was damn expensive when they launched for Alder lake. Now a new high with the Raptor refresh. Only 15% more expensive with almost no gain. https://wccftech.com/msi-z790-max-motherboard-prices-leaked-meg-godlike-max-costs-more-than-rtx-4080-rx-7900-xtx/

Most consumers/gamers use Home/Pro. And most info is about those versions. I expect the Enterprise has more restrictions already baked into gpedit/registry. Etc my LTSC versions haven’t been plagued much with this Microsoft introduced mess. + tweaked LTSC OS help on this as well. And my different Win 11 test os is tweaked as well.

LOOL. Everyone is allowed to tell how they feel about Win11. Both on good and bad. This thread is mainly to inform people about Windows 11 in its current form. And Win 11 haven’t changed much since release. This is a news thread also. Ps. I’m the thread creator. And the thread have 18.4k views 🙂 Microsoft's incessant Windows ads are getting out of control | PCWorld for 1 døgn siden — Now, not only is Microsoft nagging Windows 10 users to upgrade, but as The Verge documents, new Microsoft ads are springing up on the Windows 11

Yees, as I expected and predicted. But this isn’t good enough. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-rtx-4060-ti-16gb-price-drop Is a $50 premium for the extra VRAM more acceptable? Nvidia's RTX 4060 Ti 16GB Price Drops $50 at Retail, Ahead of AMD Launch

Just greedy or pure stupidity from the engineers. And if you have an modern nvidia graphics card with the 12VHPWR connector you won’t have any 8pins left for possible other use. Tragic. Nice one for nvidia. Better performance vs 4070 for 100$ less. And AMD will come with their fancy features as well. Can RT save nvidia from not reducing prices? Nope, I don’t think so. Only fanboys can. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/radeon-rx-7800-xt-challenges-geforce-rtx-4070-ti-leaked-benchmark-score

Intel Arc graphics can’t play it…. Maybe time to take out the big toy, LOOL Btw. Nice with brand new modern PSUs you can’t use it with Intel and AMD graphics. You can’t even use it with older nvidia graphics cards. Only enough 8 pins connectors to power the Cpu and the extra 6 pin for the mb. Yep, new is always better, LOOL @ryan It is interesting to note that the total number of connectors is fairly low for a unit with that kind of capacity https://www.anandtech.com/show/20021/the-asus-tuf-gaming-850w-gold-psu-review

From an older article 5 days ago. None is a bigger liar than our old friend F. Azor. Just magine for yourself what the first letter F often stands for. AMD has two aholes. The biggest is still the older AW boss! Period! Of course AMD wanted Azor in their organization. They knew very well what he stands for. Maybe Herkelman was the main man who wanted him to AMD? And Fu. Azor haven’t changed the way he do his works. Azor says he can’t say what the contract includes.… He says there’s nothing blocking Bethesda from adding it to the game. “If and when Bethesda wants to put DLSS into the game, they have our full support,” he reiterates. https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/25/22372077/amd-starfield-dlss-fsr-exclusive-frank-azor

Today’s most modern graphics cards can’t be used for what they was meant to work with… Games. Amazing I really hope Intel (Arc) graphics cards don’t have same problems when new benchmarks is released. Arc owners left in the cold. Intel have a long way being nvidia or AMD. Intel Arc GPUs currently cannot play Starfield, with varying symptoms ranging from the game not starting to it taking 30-40 minutes before presenting the player with a jumbled cacophany of texture mayhem. Intel stated they were aware of the issues shortly after advanced access began opening up, but hopes of a quick fix are not high. https://www.techpowerup.com/313089/intel-arc-owners-left-in-the-cold-with-starfield-as-advanced-access-begins

Yep. Connected the bits after seeing his posts and behaving. I mean a couple mods also got the info I grabbed up. I had a good connection with bro @Mr. Foxand talked with him in pm as We usually did. HMSCOTT tried several times getting me banned as well tried several dirty tricks also in pm. I mean I mentioned the name Scott Herkelman in some posts and yup. I fast got an pm with questions from Hmscott. If you google I mean he have had several positions in AMD since 2016. Here’s a review from pcgamer. And I have read worse reviews than this. But 75 rating from pcgamer isn’t exactly very good. https://www.pcgamer.com/starfield-review/ Use translate. But 7/10 isn’t very good. The magic is gone. https://www.gamer.no/artikler/er-bethesda-magien-borte/516596 As fyi. Some websites said MS and bethesda have limited what reviewers that could put up a review of the game . They was afraid for bad reviews. That’s disgusting. Maybe they can’t handle 7 out of 10. When I have the time I will try Cyberpunk. More a story for me. My son said that would be a better game for me. Yes, we both saw something strange with the man. If I’m remembering correctly he also frequented some MSI forums. And such people go around on forums without people/users knowing who they are.

Yep, I wouldn’t buy any of the AMD products (cpu or graphics) but cheaper options from AMD give us an chance to get cheaper Nvidia cards. If the performance vs prices is correct, I expect quite a few people will go and buy AMD graphics cards. One thing Nvidia hate is losing possible customers and money. And RT performance sucks on lower/Mid end SKUs so. Let nvidia bleed some money. They have the milking cow AI but loose money on chip’s they already have prepared/sent out for gamer cards is a good thing 🙂

Yep, he and AMD has their own agenda. And you are correct. But this below is good news for maybe slightly lower prices for mid range cards from Nvidia. 7800XT will be 100$ cheaper than 4070. And will kill Nvidia’s sales of the 4060Ti scam and eating of 4070 sales). Nvidia wants close to 500$ for 4060Ti@16GB cards. And 449$ AMD cards is on 4070 level performance level. l just hope AMD and their partners don’t screw up…. Their golden chance own the midrange Gpu market. https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-radeon-rx-7700-xt-reportedly-outperforms-radeon-rx-6800-in-3dmark-timespy Btw. God news for us living in EU and Norway https://www.techspot.com/news/99982-windows-11-soon-open-all-links-default-browser.html

Enjoy. Herkelman said no for 7600 and 7900 series but considered 12VHPWR connectors for 7700 and 7800 series AMD cards. Maybe he have read my many posts about fried 4090s and changed mind. Here is a good reminder. I’m 100% sure Scott Herkelman is our old AMD friend HMSCOTT from old NBR. I even talked about this in pm with him right before he was banned from NBR. YUP, I’m 100% sure. And I mean I talked with you about this in pm in older days. Enjoy… https://www.club386.com/amd-confirms-radeon-rx-7800-xt-was-originally-designed-with-new-power-connector-in-mind/ See bro @Rage Set I had correct from day one…. Scott goes on to rule out any change of power connectors for the time being, stating “Until this power issue is cleaned up and there’s good confidence it’s working correctly for end users, that’s where you’ll start to see us incorporate it into our planning. I wonder when he changed his mind. After reading in the big web about how bad these power connectors was? I wrote a lot about it in different forums. And posted links to all failures as they popped up. I’m sure he has seen some of them. I also knocked on Dell Alienware’s bossses feets in same way as for bad designed cablemod adapters. One after one. Azor, Gonzales, Umar and so on In forums and pm. And I’m sure they started hate me that time for my stubbornness and my hatred for junk. Now I don’t bother much with them anymore. Just let the stupids (consumers) buy their utter trashy cheapo junk. Maybe they deserve being screwed by trash company. But I pop up sometimes telling how bad their desktops are. That helps out on their sales, LOOL Edit. The whole interview with Scott Herkelman (HMSCOTT)…, SH: We specifically, for 7900 Series, and even 7600, we didn’t plan on the new power cable, but 7800 and 7700 did have a plan for it. We removed it, and that was a purposeful removal. You shouldn’t blame end users for issues you have. You should catch and own any problems, just like we did with the vapour-chamber issue. I was all over social media because I felt like it was AMD’s problem and I was going to own it. https://www.club386.com/scott-herkelman-qa-amd-radeon-boss-answers-your-burning-rx-7800-xt-questions/ Yep, they read social media and forums without people will know they was there. And don’t doubt they have seen some of my quality posts 🙂
