My progression was 98SE -> 2000 -> XP -> 7 -> 8.1 -> 10. I think all of them were really good for the time, certainly after the first service pack. I briefly tried 11 about half a year ago and tried some editing the registry to get it to behave like 10 but it some things didn't work and the UI was generally annoying. Notably, the clock/calendar aren't visible on your non-primary monitor which was legitimately the dealbreaker for me since I have 3 monitors, center being primary, but I use center/right with my work laptop and left with my personal desktop when I WFH.

At this point of the year, is there anything on the near horizon for new GPUs? We just got the Super refresh, and I haven't heard anything from AMD or Intel.

Look at you normies with your "progressions" like you aren't just using whatever garbage OS you happen to be sitting in front of at any given time, cycling through half a dozen different computers, none of which you really understand.

Holding shift while you right click brings the old context menu mostly back. I also do ctr delete for a permanent delete and hide the recycle bin.

What's the best AMD card I can get for 1080p gaming for under $300? I don't need to go above 60fps. My RX580 is really starting to show it's age.

The 7600xt seems to have just come out. The price point is slightly better and fits my specs pretty well so I think that's the winner here. Desperately trying not to have FOMO about the 6700 tho lol

Every other computer part makes sense to me except GPUs. I did some research and I think the normal 7600 fits my needs pretty well. The price point is glorious too.

Finally snagged a decent card. Newegg just posted the two Gigabyte models in stock, they rank 3rd (at least the one I'm linking here) in quiet/cooling and are only beat by the ASUS TUF and STRIX (which can reportedly have frequent coil whine). Apparently Gigabyte has never had an issue with it. $1,050 https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-4080-super-gv-n408sgaming-oc-16gd/p/N82E16814932671

Why are video card product lists so stupid now? Do I buy a 4070 Super or a 4070 Ti Super? Is there even any titanium involved???

Apparently Gigabyte has never had an issue with it. I can verify the coil whine with the TUF 4070 Ti Super. It's more like a faint hiss, but it's more pronounced if I have the monitor refresh set higher. This is only when gaming. Normal desktop usage it's dead quiet. It's not that bad compared to other cards I've had. My old EVGA 1070 was pretty bad when it whined. It sounded like a piezo speaker, but would only happen on first boot if the computer was off for a little while. If you powered down then immediately restarted it would go away and not come back until the next down time. Turmoil fucked around with this message at 11:32 on Feb 15, 2024 |

Which goes to show that everything old is new again for Nvidia.

HalloKitty posted:It was the Geforce 4 MX that was the real trap. I tried to steer people away, but "it's so cheap"! Man, that was a heartbreaker. Nvidia stretched its engineering resources too thin with the Xbox and backported the good bits of the GeForce4 Ti to the Geforce2 MX core. Nvidia shot itself in the foot - if they’d made a competent scaled down GeForce4 Ti derivative part that ran about as well as a GeForce3 Ti 200 and called that the MX, they’d have cinched up that whole product generation. But it did give ATi enough breathing room with R200 to get the Radeon 9700 Pro out the door, so I’m going to be grateful. I don’t want to think about the FX series too much. Even with Nvidia growing its driver team to create custom app profiles to manage the damage as best they could, the whole NV30 generation is probably the worst major vendor GPU product cycle of the last 25 years. “What about the S3 Savage 2000 that shipped with broken hardware transform and lighting?” I catch myself wondering, but the truth is that S3 was already on the way out, they had one last chance, they blew it, and they went away; the only part of those that survived was the 2D core, married to the 3D core from the Savage4 and living on in terrible VIA IGPs for a long time afterward.
