TY!

Probably want to increase Microsoft stock prices. ;-)

I doubt it. Convenience vs effort. Most consumers aren't enthusiasts like we are.

Considering it's translation layers upon translation layers and not coded directly for the card via drivers, I'd say pretty darn well. :-)

It's openly existed for about four years, sooooo.....

AMD ROCm Solution Enables Native Execution of NVIDIA CUDA Binaries on Radeon GPUs Published One hour ago by Hilbert Hagedoorn https://www.guru3d.com/story/amd-rocm-solution-enables-native-execution-of-nvidia-cuda-binaries-on-radeon-gpus/ "AMD has introduced a solution using ROCm technology to...

When I still developed end-user software I *WISHED* I could've had telemetry information like what is available to the Windows dev team. The software that we wrote could've gotten more streamlined and easier to use for our users. As a fellow dev, I leave mine turned on because I know how...

Dude, how do you compute with just a single core CPU? I, for one, will accelerate all the things in a boat. And I would accelerate them with a goat... And I will accelerate them in the rain. And in the dark. And on a train. And in a car. And in a tree. They are so good, so good, you see! Me...

I don't think either "extreme" approach is healthy.

As a dev, I'd love these. I'd love to be able to run whatever I want, at high speed, at low wattage, locally on my box. Both training and inference. It's the type of stuff in the sci-fi novels I grew up with, running my own local ai (or rather, "advanced applied statistical model." :-)

"The $14 billion takeover puts Toshiba in domestic hands after protracted battles with overseas activist investors that paralyzed the maker of batteries, chips, and nuclear and defense equipment." Interesting choice of words.

Yep, tried them all. EDIT: I logged a help ticket with Private Division.

Yep, Spacer's Choice Edition. I've done the usual, restart, driver update, clean boot, delete shader cache, etc. I've tried the unusual as well: FSR, no FSR, Fullscreen/Borderless fullscreen/fullscreen, I've even downloaded (and verified the changes as far as I can) that an Engine.ini mod can...

I've been impressed so far with it, and the humour has made me chuckle more than once. However, that was after fighting with it to work. It kept crashing out in unrepeatable ways, from during the opening cinematic to during character creation to just after starting the gameplay. I went through...

Not One More Word. I spent hundreds of hours waffling and exploring GTAV single player (I've only played the original GTA and now GTAV) and RDR2 is on my Christmas list as my next game world to explore. :-)

I got GTAV for free on Epic. :-) +1

I have a feeling that this isn't a trend, unless there's a good shift in the software space away from CUDA towards, well, anything else. (Gaudi has been hitting it - watch it.)

Yep.

*shrug*

I know, believe me. I've also been in the situation where trying to convince business users about that was... Well, it was a process to switch over.

If your Excel work is sensitive to memory, you might want to consider the 7000 Threadrippers with their increased memory channels, coming at the end of November. However, you have alluded to trying to stick within a budget...

IMHO you'd be hard pressed to feel a difference between 14th gen and 8xxx series, heck even the current 13th gen and the 7xxx3D series, in office work, again specifically Excel. Get what suits you and your budget. You haven't mentioned what you do with the large files in Excel, if you use...

If you can wait a little bit, you might get better value when 14th gen releases soon (this month, I think? Next month?) Either a good i5-14xxx or i7-14xxx or a highly discounted 12th or 13th gen part.

This. Microsoft and Intel have a long history together, and a deep understanding of each other: Windows, Office, SQL Server; there's a reason that the word "Wintel" came into existence. Thankfully, AMD has reached parity with Intel in recent years. Both CPUs mentioned will suit you well, but...

Interesting... (for real interesting.)

"We don't want people to mod our games because we want to sell remasters in five to ten year's time."

I'm running an i7-7600 non-K and going from an RX 470 4GB @1080p to an RX 6800XT with a FreeSync Premium Pro 4K display was like when I went from amber and black to 4-colour CGA: a total revelation. I vote getting a 6950XT or a 7900XT if you can.

I like the giant cases (I like big CASES and I cannot lie,) fan tech, and hints for the next Noctua cooler.

VS is basically MEF (Microsoft Extension Framework) where everything is a plugin, so technically it's an external library. "There is absolutely no need for <cloud computing API> / <local processing API> to be standardised in Windows or .NET." I disagree with you wholeheartedly. A lack of...

Well, that really sucks! I'm glad that you're happy with Linux. 👍

I was referring to e.g. .NET framework - type standard. (In my developer brain, I've been using .NET so long I consider it part of Windows.)

Eh, having OS-level or OS-standardised support for ai-engine integration sounds like some nice ideas for some programs, even hobbyist-level programs. Copilot in Office already looks pretty sweet and can potentially help "skip over" many manual tasks for our users. Hopefully it doesn't require...

That's exactly why I stick with Windows, funnily enough. I've had more issues with Linux over the years than with Windows, both in a corporate environment and home use. The last issue I had with Windows updates breaking ANYTHING was when I was running the Win 10 Preview. I've had way too many...

That's the main one for me. I hope that they support LZMA2 and not just the 7z container...

And me, because it's not guaranteed that I'll get ANY updates since I would be running it on my OFFICIALLY unsupported i7-6700 non-K. Even though I bought a TPM2 header for my MSI B150M Mortar...

We get up to +80% with HT on with some workloads, never dipping below 20-ish% from what I've seen. Possible, but I haven't seen it. Are you able to share what workloads do you experience a negative return on, please?

Use case: Planning a PC for my wife to play The Sims 4 with 20+GB of custom content, with low load times. What drives (or what drive tests in reviews) should I be looking at for this use case? The Sims 4 accesses tens of thousands of really tiny files, for the standard game plus the expansion...

I've been an Intel user since the late 80s in our family PC. This is the first time I'm considering an AMD PC, one X3D for the wife for the Sims 4 (how do people get so much custom content into one game!!!) and an high core count machine with 64GB/128GB of RAM for me to replace my current...

From a selfish point of view, that sucks. I really enjoyed Titanfall 2's single player campaign.

*chuckle * The beta for Win 7 was faster inside of a VM inside XP than Vista was on bare metal. Same hardware. (I get your joke, though.)
