That was a great idea, I hadn't tried that yet. Though no dice on this one, unfortunately. Exactly the same behaviour.

Hey guys, I'm running into an extremely infuriating issue in Assassins Creed Odyssey. In extremely regular intervals (somewhere around 1.8s, see attached in-game performance graph), the framerate will drop to 0 completely, then run perfectly fine again. This results in a completely unplayable experience where e.g. when panning around it feels like the game drops a significant number of frames and the camera skips around jarringly in that time. Once the hitch is over, in between the dips, everything runs as expected until a few seconds later again. This makes a game I enjoyed very much completely unplayable all of a sudden. I know that the game is poorly optimised and can run rough/stuttery at times. But this seems different, especially because the game ran perfectly fine (for my liking) for almost 200h on this machine before. Unfortunately I can not revert to the obvious change that must have happened because I put the game down for a few weeks before noticing this and since installed/uninstalled various software, installed windows updates, driver updates etc. It also does not occur in other games. I am running the following system: CPU: 5600X (no OC from my side) GPU: GTX 1060 6GB (stock) RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB 3200MHz (on XMP) MB: Aorus B550I Pro AX Display: contrary to uploaded image, Dell U2518D at 2560x1440 SSD (OS): Samsung 970 Evo SSD (game): Samsung 850 Evo OS: W10 I've tried the usual suspects of recommended graphics settings from common threads on poor ACO performance (reinstalling game, running in full-screen mode, capping fps, vsync on, disabling full-screen optimisation, increasing task priority) but nothing makes the slightest change to the behaviour. That makes me want to bang my head against the wall, since it feels like I am missing something obvious. Please, if anyone has an idea on what could be causing this, I would love to get back to playing...

this would be awesome for my 3D-design and rendering workstation

The AIO is the most interesting for me. I've never seen one of these things in real life, let alone installed one in a system. It would be very intriguing to see this one in action.

For quite some time i thought Zotac vanished completely from the graphics card market. This proves me wrong The carbon fibre and lighting elements really do make it an interesting card. But will it blend?

holy balls, 1,000,000 subscribers. linus, you've come such a long way, i remember back in the days the unboxings outside ncix. much has changed, a lot has improved and you should definately keep going on with it! thank you for making great videos for us! ItsJustMidnight

I always love to see more phones with great displays. And if its coupled with great other specifications, rock on. But the idea of custom wrapped phones seems kinda weird to me since they never seem available for the niece kind of phones i buy.

i sure love the absolutely gorgeous look and size of this thing. big phones for big hands also the ui changes they made look interesting, vanilla android sometimes just doesnt feel right to me.

i have exactly the same problem, it is a huge ~700MB update for windows 8.1 that fails upon startup (KB2919355). its driving me nuts and there is very little information to be had about what's actually wrong. also the font of a my system seems to have changed very slightly. texts that were normal before are now in bold or cursive. the last changes made were installing lightworks.

my favourite is definately the gorgeous metal chassis... *mhhhh*

Okay, just to complete this for anyone who ever runs into the same problem, I managed to fix it. The decisive steps for me were: -Reset BIOS ( :wacko: ) i.e. clear CMOS -Format all the drives to be used -Set controller to RAID, but dont set the array yet -Install Windows (inject RAID drivers with additional USB stick) -Boot Windows, set all the drivers etc. -Now set the array and all should be well Just for the record, I use the legacy RAID driver setting, I just dont want to break it again by switching it to UEFI

Thank you for your quick answer! Yes, I have already tried to revert the settings back to AHCI for all ports. However this results in the same "Missing bootmanager" problem described before. I really think i have tried all different combinations of settings and unplugging/swapping ports that are available. Unfortunately the manual does not give any information whether the array has to be the boot drive. In that case the only alternative would be a RAID-card I presume? Are there cards that cost around 50€ and dont suck completely? This would be used for Fraps-recording, so some nice throughput would be favourable. Midnight

Hello guys, I would be very grateful, if you could help me out with this, it has ruined my entire weekend. The Scenario: I want to create a RAID 0 array of two 1TB WD Caviar Blacks on an ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0. The OS (Win7 64bit) is located on an OCZ Agility 3 120GB SSD. The Problem(s): In the BIOS, I switched the SATA-settings from AHCI to RAID, as described in the manual. After that, creating the array with the AMD tools was a piece of cake, everything went fine. However, when I tried to boot after this procedure, an unconvenient looking blackscreen was telling me, my bootmanager-file was missing. The only option given was a reboot, resulting in the same thing. I tried plugging the SSD into different SATA-ports and setting those ports to IDE mode (the only option, the ports for the RAID-drives remained in RAID mode). This resulted in Windows attempting to boot, but crashing during the logo-buildup ("Starting Windows") with a bluescreen. This bluescreen flashes only for a very very short time, therefore I have no idea, what the error readouts are. Then I tried to launch in Safe Mode, launch with command prompt and all that good stuff, all resulting in the same lighting fast bluescreen. Now prepared to wipe the OS drive I tried to reinstall Windows (from an appropriately formatted USB-harddrive). The problem here is, that the SSD doesn't show up in the list of drives to install it on. The RAID-volume shows up, but with missing drivers I cannot use it. I really hope for some ideas, this has been very frustrating so far. The rest of the hardware is: AMD FX 8320 16 GB Adata XPG 1600MHz GTX 760 Thank you, Midnight

I use my desktop for a lot of different stuff so I have a lot of drives in it: -125GB OCZ Agility 3 for OS and "normal" other software. I bought that because it was on sale at the time and I wanted to try out the SSD-experience. I will never go back to HDD for OS! -2TB Seagate Barracuda Green for Steam- and other games/software that requires loads of space, I had this one lying around from a dead PC that was given to me for free, so... IT'S FREE -3x 1TB WD Caviar Black in RAID 0 as a Volume to record gameplay-footage to and as a scratchdisk for editing it. These were also given to me for free, I guess the owner didn't realise, what he was doing. -750GB Samsung ??? (can't read the label) as a Backup-drive since it's "only" SATA 2 3.0Gb/s. This one was recovered from a broken external enclosure. -3TB External Harddrive (enclosure made by CN Memory, no idea about the actual drive inside) for my huge movie+music collection. So yeah, it came together over time, the drives I like the most are the WD (seriously) since they are nice'n'fast. - Other community website: ItsJustMidnight (http://pausegaming.com/forum/showthread.php?p=49136#post49136)
