hobbesmaster posted:looking at thunderbolt it causes a bsod 80% of the time this isn't surprising, PCI Express tends to be coldplug or warmplug or whatever you call it when you inform the OS that you're going to unplug something, wait for the indicator light next to the PCI Express slot, swap the card, and then inform the OS to power on that slot again. allowing users to just pull the cable probably tests all sorts of previously untested code paths

yeah but they usually don't have to account for the user ripping the card out of the laptop whenever they feel like it also in my experience, some programs refuse to use the gpu when they absolutely need it (games made in unity & unreal engine especially), and i've had to force it onto them using the nvidia driver settings

pseudorandom name posted:do MacBooks pretend that the nvidia GPU is just a faster version of the Intel GPU, or can apps somehow detect that one is more capable than the other? as i understand it: apps can be aware of multi gpu, or not. if aware, they can query the system about all installed gpus, even ones which are presently inactive. they can even do things like open a context for a gpu which isn't driving a display and use it to render to offscreen buffers or do compute or whatever if not self-marked as multi gpu aware, apps get told about the nvidia gpu's feature set, which i believe is a strict superset if non aware apps proceed to create a gl context that needs nvidia only features, the system auto switches to the nvidia. since most apps that actually try to draw 3d will request a context with the full capabilities that they queried a moment ago, this translates to most apps that explicitly use a gpu (as opposed to implicitly through the window server) forcing the nvidia gpu on.

microsoft's best game lineup ever! featuring rise of tomb raiderquote:And the graphics are often incredible; while the aliasing is a little harsh and the framerate a little unstable, the overall visual presentation is the most arresting yet on the Xbox One and fallout 4 quote:Xbox One is unique in its suffering of a stuttering issue, halting the game experience for up to a second during play. It's a glaring hitch downward, and matching runs to the gates of Diamond City shows Xbox One dropping to a record 0fps (zero) while PS4 turns the same corner at 28fps
