Swear to fucking god the same will happen for GPUs in the next 6-12 months.
EVERYWHERE I looked researching why my RTX 4090 was idling with maxed out mem clock @ 10000MHz not dropping a bit. All the forums, articles and Nvidia themselves gave super standard troubleshooting suggestions before just saying yeah those gpu’s fuckin run spicy.
I underclocked, un-installed, reinstalled, ran it in other PC’s, white washed my drivers, updated bios, flashed bios, pretty sure i biosed my bios, even used recommended windows retarded power throttling setting… fuckin nothing.
Finally during one of my “Fuck Microsoft” tantrums I started belligerently stripping every fucking Windows 11 service, software and apps that would let me. Full on preppared to nuke the whole fuckin PC, not just the OS.
No fucking clue what did it or where it was all I know was it was somewhere in the control panel memory settings/disk optimization-ish/file history/virtual memory area or at least felt like it was from around that before I started aggressively clicking delete one at a time for my entire file history cuz ya know file history has had a bug lasting thru 2 generations of windows now that won’t let you batch delete old files history files. Either way fucker all of a sudden sounded slightly less fans at top seepdy sounding, checked to see if I was loosing it but sure as fuck it really was bringing the gpu back to normal.
Its been humming like a champ ever since. Idles at 5001 runs at 10000 range with curve optimizer. Was able to re-set everything up on a clean install using a local microsoft account, deleted my actual microsoft account, haven’t updated a fucking thing, been running FOLON with 231 enabled mods on 195 plugins. OH and I forgot to mention how noone believ3d me at nvidia that the 4090 when initially bought was running just like this with no issues. Needless to say I’m in stage 2-1/2 of my migration to Linux. Idc if I’m dead wrong about this experience I will never go back to Windows for my erryday desidnated driver or use it more that the 3 pc games I usually play through any year. No internet single player screaming fallacies speech to text into copilot to ruin that cunt fucker and tell people I multi task while gaming.
The important thing is that you’re not bitter.
So, do Linux users not get the extra performance, or did they just not suffer a performance penalty to begin with?
Linux was already faster
Didn’t suffer the penalty to begin with
It was a Windows bug not an AMD problem
Is this how we download more RAM?
You wouldn’t steal a RAM!
I’m currently migrating my gaming system to Linux, it feels so good!
Nice try, Microsoft
You wouldn’t download better performance…
What a time to be alive
Well yeah. Imagine for a 250$ “Operating system” to take weeks until it performs the same as a FOSS OS.
Edit: 259€.
Ok, this is the second time I’ve seen this $250 price. Where did you get that from?
Worst I’m seeing is ~$60 for a usb set up to install Pro along with the license, and you can easily get OEM Pro licenses for far far less.
