You do pretty quickly get used to it in the center, too. FWIW, I'm ultimately finding it more useful (once I got used to it) - after all, when you decide you need to hit an app or open the taskbar, you never really know where your mouse is on the screen. If you were doing something on the...

Well, FWIW, looks like there IS a PC game for Dune coming up...

"Enabling triple buffering" makes it about input lag. Sure, enabling v-sync broadly creates input lag. Enabling triple buffering will make the input lag worse, though. Sort of. Well...it does, just the question is whether that cure is worse than the disease of input lag (it usually is - IE...

Well, triple buffering is an OpenGL-only setting, so...anything that uses DirectX, Vulkan, etc won't see any impact. Of course, that also means you are effectively forcing the card to render 3 frames out, so... ...not great if you are shooting for lowest-latency responsiveness to user inputs...

Yeah, these damn kids these days with their smartphones. Why, not like the good ol' days, back when people would socialize with each other, instead of burying their head in endless streams of ad-supported content...

Eh, it's more how nVidia or AMD *report* their usage to Windows. You can get the true AMD numbers in Windows Task Manager easily enough - on the 'Performance' tab, choose your GPU section. You'll get four graph windows - pick one of them and click the drop-down to choose what it is displaying...

*shrugs* TBH, I don't really see the point of digital board games being AS popular as they are, beyond making it a ton easier to learn the rules for some of the more complex physical versions. Not sure I'd have ever gotten into Scythe if not for the (rather excellent) digital adaptation, for...

Well....?there are some hella amazing boardgames for it? The original Avalon Hill 'Dune' from the 80s was reprinted recently-ish by Gale Force 9, who are doing a 'lite' version ?next year? specifically streamlining rules and using art/etc from the Villeneuve movie. I wouldn't be especially...

On a hunch - wondered if just the OpenCL components of the older driver might be the issue, so copied the 5 OpenCL files from the 21.3.2 driver into the newer driver folder. Felt like a long shot - installs fine, but F @ H is all: *********************** Log Started 2021-10-18T19:41:08Z...

So as an update...the special boot option 'Disable driver signing enforcement' did the trick, and allowed me to install the modified drivers. Unfortunately...they do not work. Windows seems to think they are okay, no errors reported, just...no desktop, the display keeps switching on and off...

Hmmm - promising start, as I was able to find much of that and work with it. Having the card in the newer drivers works a treat in giving me sections to verify after copy over. Obviously have to bypass the non-WHQL message, but still - an error I haven't seen before. "The hash for the file is...

As an update: that Kingston tip did the trick. Ultimately went with a slight variant kit, owing to finding it for hella cheap on eBay, with: https://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX426C16FB3K4_64.pdf Works great! Had to clear CMOS to get it to boot, which felt a bit unusual, but that done...

I recall back in the day modifying a driver or two, to add lines to its .inf allowing support of a video card that was released after the driver was. Either my memory is getting worse, or the 'how' of this has changed a lot, as I'm drawing a blank on trying that, now. Specifically, I'm running...

I did check with Shuttle's website, but their compatibility list is...dated, to say the least. It has no 64gb kits listed, at all, despite the fact the motherboard/chipset has no problem supporting 64gb. I'll take a look at that recommendation, thanks!

Feels like it's been a day since I've posted here, but looking for some advice! Per the subject - I'm trying to find some ram for my system. SEEMS like a simple question, although here is the catch - I'm running a Shuttle XPC, with an H-series Intel chipset, so I cannot use XMP profiles. The...
