The main issue is having the 3d cache at all helps performance, and for gaming you'd want your game processes exclusively on the CCD with the 3d cache. So either you disable the other CCD (like windows' game mode feature) or use software to force your game processes onto only the 3d CCD, which effectively turns the CPU into the 9800x3d anyway. Having processes for a single game split between both CCDs can cause jittering. From what I've heard, having a 3d cache on the 2nd CCD can eliminate that jittering, removing the need to manually keep game processes on the first CCD.
9950x3d. It has double the cores of the 9800x3d, with an extra CCD that has 8 cores, but the 2nd CCD has no 3d cache. Which was known, to be fair, but still is disappointing.
I wonder if they meant they use desktop sites on the desktop.
I know I have almost completely cut out cell phone use by way of doing everything on desktop. Even texting and calling with Google fi I do on my desktop via their web app. The less I need my phone for when I'm at home the better.
Well over the years my tastes have changed. Playing as much as I do, I now find the most satisfaction from hardcore questing packs like gregtech new horizons, monifactory, and one I'm really looking forward to that is coming out soon is "Journey across the abyss" a sequel to journey into the abyss. I know the person making it as well and have been drip fed juicy details over the last year. It's a hardcore questing pack based in the aether with tons of custom bosses.
It also happens that my job directly relates to minecraft so that adds to my playtime as well haha.
But you don't need to download it again. Keep good backup practices and it's eternal. If you lose it, that's the same as losing a physical object you bought at a store. Or if you don't maintain your backup like you would clean and maintain a physical object you bought, it's your fault you lose it. I can buy a game from GOG right now and keep it and use it until the day I die, then my grandchildren can use it after that.
Yeah I was aware of that. I don't know if that constitutes the last hope for all gaming, but it's definitely a positive. Other stores have a much better user experience, and until they rival stores like Steam in functionality and ease of use, actually owning your own game is just a very nice to have feature and nothing more. Of course, I wish all stores did that. I don't want to have to resort to piracy if my steam library goes poof, but so far I haven't had to, and piracy is still an ethical choice in that scenario.
My point isn't that steam is better, but that GOG has a couple nice features and several downsides, and it is by no means changing or saving the industry. They have a long way to go, and I don't think saving the industry is the end goal for them.
In what way? I know it's great but I don't know if I'd call it the last hope for all of gaming. It's a good store front. Their application has better FOSS alternatives and there are other pretty okay ways to buy games too. I don't follow them closely. Are they doing anything particular that warrants that description?
The reason I use Proton is to have a unique email for every account that cannot be used to find my original email address, and that I can delete at a moments notice if said email somehow gets on a spam list. Nobody except me knows my main account email. The + method does nothing for me.
My friend, I have to butt in here. Last year I switched from Gmail to Proton, and I have like 130 accounts I had to recreate or switch over. And I still have tons left on Gmail (100+, though many of which are effectively abandoned) so I'm ending up having to use both. Some things don't let me change emails and it's a ton of work to recreate them. Like some of my financial accounts or Google and its products, whose ecosystem I am still relatively entrenched in. (Slowly working on getting out of that mud but with a family who is also entrenched, it's not that easy.) And many more services than those 2 types as well.
I would have loved to just have 5 accounts to chanfe and nothing else.
