If you're worried about the government going rogue and shutting down your computers with Intel/AMD backdoors on your CPU, you have far more important things to worry about during this SHTF situation (e.g. stocking up on ammo and non-perishables) than not being able to play the latest futanari loli mod for Honey Select 2.

>>1026804 >>1026806 The platform security processor is a seperate chip on ryzen motherboards, I can disable it on the asrock mobos I own. >but how can you tell it's really off I'm sure someone with more money to burn than me poked at it with a logic analyzer or something to make sure it's off.

>>1026813 Why do you believe Microsoft Pluton is worse than Intel ME and AMD PSP?

>>1027366 A number of reasons, 1 its linked to not just the government but Microsoft too, 2 it automatically downloads and installs firmware updates for itself, it stores cryptographic keys which can be used as DRM (Netflix for example has shown interest in this), by default it blocks all operating systems other than Windows 11 and newer versions of 10, it can also change settings in your OS regardless of debloat scripts (happened in england to force power management settings for the Xbox series consoles which also have pluton), it also can scan files and try to guess if something is pirated and block you from using it albiet I've heard this was only used as a test system and never saw commercial use, it also has been designed to try to prevent any form of data recovery so you'll be pushed 5o store sensitive information on the cloud. Also talks about EAC requiring it in the future which will give it even worse access levels than Ring 0

>>1027383 I did not mean to IP hop, and I dunno what caused that

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024's reported to need 64 GB of RAM for ideal performance and sucks up to 180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth while in flight — equivalent to 81GB of data per hour.

>>1027907 that's just.. wow. Absolutely bonkers honestly.

>>1027907 >180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth National average is 219, so that's totally fine, goyim. What's wrong? Your Internet is slower? Your fault, not ours. Stop living outside a city, then.

>>1027961 You'll just have lower resolution landscape like the previous version. You can even set a bandwidth cap ingame, but a speed cap would probably have to be handled at the router level.

>>1027963 >lower the resolution Oh boy; can't wait to look out my window and see this glorious vista! At 40 megabits, it's not likely I'd even be able to play the game at all, even if I had 64 gigs of RAM to waste on it (still only 24 in my computer overall… and a GTX 980).

>>1027965 Ran at about 15 fps at launch with my 960 and ryzen 2600, it's honestly just really boring without a flight yoke since I'd just nudge the wheel every so often.

And even with the highest resolution for an area downloaded, it still looks like hot ass up close with a car mod compared to something like city skylines.

>>1027907 >Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024's reported to need 64 GB of RAM for ideal performance and sucks up to 180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth while in flight — equivalent to 81GB of data per hour. This would overflow my data cap in one session.

>>1028077 >having a data cap

>>1026026 the reason it matters is because the halo product sets the bar for the products below it. Expect xx80 cards to be $1500 and xx70 cards to be $1000+

>>1028137 Prices are whatever the market will bear. If nvidia prices their non-halo products higher it's because niggercattle keep buying them at those prices. Get mad at the niggercattle for being retards.

>>1028174 >>1028137 I hope all jewvidia users get milked dry. The only people buying xx80 and xx90 models are people with desk jobs who can cover it or terminally online. All AMD has to do is cut off the sub-$1k market from them and even more laptops will drop nvidia.

What is the point upgrading your computer in 2024 if every video game made after 2007 is shit?

>>1028191 Emulating games?

>>1028191 None, for you. Never buy pc parts again.

>>1028192 I can emulate sixth gen perfectly, what is the point? Modern games are so shit it is soul-crushing. I still haven't finished Elden Ring

>>1028191 Upgrade in 2023

>>1028202 Then there is no point, for if you have the power to emulate the blessed sixth generation, than you are also capable of playing every game released after as an added boon, they all being multiplatform releases. Therefore there is no point in upgrading. You have reached the final Pinnacle, and now all that remains is playing those old games. Praise be.

>>1028206 Amen or "This, but unironically".

>>1028189 Doesn't NVIDIA also sell RTX cards in bulk to enterprise customers?

>>1028189 They also need to make drivers that aren't dogshit that managed to break my kernel. I still need to find time to unfuck it all properly. >>1028191 Generating AI porn.

The entire Nvidia RTX 50 series will reportedly debut in Q1 2025. 5090 and 5080 in January, 5070 in February, 5060 in March.

>>1029211 And yet the 6700xt will still be the only gpu worth buying.

The highest-capacity SSD in the world, the Solidigm 61.44TB SSD aimed at datacenters, saw a retail price hike that nearly doubled its price. It cost from $3700 to $4000 during pre-orders in early 2024, but now it's over $7000.

>>1029490 Good, the raw materials cost $5 so the higher the better.

>>1029529 Computer electronics have cheap raw materials but an expensive production process. You pay for the drive, not the silicon.

https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=P-KSUt4F7ZY This is the second reporting over the last few years from a decent sized jewtuber about latency issues on newer intel architecture. It only really impacts things like media editing software when dealing with managing files, but I just thought it was interesting to see a second source reporting about it after so long. Just another reason to go AMD. Although even AMD does have slight file management latency compared to 10th gen intel. Not relevant to most people but I found it interesting.

>>1033189 Does it impact video games?

>>1029211 I just hope the prices aren't that much higher.

>>1033288 No, as I said it's pretty specific to video editing software.
