  1. I doubt that the power supply is to blame here. I am running an RTX 3080 Ti and an i7-12700kf on a 650w power supply and haven't noticed any performance abnormalities.
  2. CSM is enabled, and now I am able to boot when I go to boot override and select Windows Boot Manager (which is still my default boot option) but when I turn on the PC it still just shows me the detected devices, says Hit F1 to Setup and just stays on that screen.
  3. I’m at my friends house and I noticed that there was stuttering on his computer so I went to the BIOS and even the BIOS stuttered. Apparently this is a known issue on AMD systems and was fixed with a bios update, so I downloaded the newest update for his board (ASUS Prime X570 Pro) (v0411 -> v4403) and flashed the new BIOS no problem. Now when the machine POSTs it just says Hit F1 to Run Setup, right below the display of connected drives. I see the OS drive, which is the only drive installed, in the list. When I go to the BIOS it’s selected as the default boot option. The drive shows up under Advanced -> SATA Config as well. I’m kind of at a loss here for what to do so any advice would be appreciated. I don’t really know what setting would have changed during the update. Thank you!

  4. I don't really know much about the economics and business aspects of running and potentially purchasing a company like this, but I would imagine that a brand name that isn't so tightly linked to the founding member wouldn't be as easy to sell in the event that Linus wanted to completely sell off the business. Although I think it would be a funny joke/gag to refer to the CEO as "the current Linus" similarly to how there are multiple doctors in doctor who.
  5. @unclewebb @Pasi123 @8tg That did it, getting a rock-solid 60 FPS now. Thanks for the suggestion! Still some micro-stuttering but that could come down to the game or some other emulator setting.
  6. Hello friends, I would like to use my laptop, a ThinkPad T440p, with an Intel Core i7-4910mq processor for some Wii emulation on the go, but as the title of this post would suggest I'm running into quite the snafu. I've been keeping CoreTemp open while running Dolphin (Wii Emulator, Kirby's Return to Dreamland) and I've noticed that the CPU clock speed keeps dropping down to 800MHz. When this happens, the emulator drops from a steady 60 FPS to a glitchy 24. I figure that some sort of temperature protection is the cause of this, so here's what I've done so far. Enabled high-performance mode in Windows power settings Set minimum CPU Performance to "95%" in power profile (does nothing) Closed every other program It appears that as soon as I hit 70 degrees on any of the 4 cores it throttles back. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? I can see in coretemp that the tj max is 100 Celsius. Is there anything else I can do to get my PC to take advantage of the seemingly available headroom? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks for taking the time to read and reply!
  7. Thank you so much for making this software! Makes my life so much easier. Just donated, keep up the great work!
  8. It's really not a great price, just average given the current market conditions. Someone offered me $600 for my EVGA 1080. I bought it for $300 a few years ago so you're really not getting a "deal" but it's better than having no gpu.
  9. I got one at MSRP (yes I know most people wont but its not impossible). Also, they are LHR cards. So until someone comes up with an unlocked BIOS there is higher value in other cards. Particularly the FE 3080's which do not have the mining limiter.
  10. Half-Life is a really special franchise for a lot of people and I would assume (perhaps incorrectly) that most of those people wouldn't want to spoil the game for themselves. This is why I haven't watched any content about it whatsoever.
  11. I think it might be part of the game or the engine. I have the same problem.
  12. For something competitive like CS or Valorant I go for 240fps. Non-competitive shooters like Doom I shoot for at least 100. Anything else as long as I am at 60 locked I'm happy. I will happily lower graphics settings for higher fps if the impact on visuals is marginal.
  13. Alright well I think I got in pretty early... stuck on validating. Fingers crossed.

  15. I don't understand the obsession manufacturers have with making phones thinner and thinner. They've been thin enough for years and I would much rather have a larger battery. With how big the screens have gotten, there has to be enough room inside for a measly headphone jack. Admittedly, I almost never use mine anymore (Note 9) but it's nice to know it's there.
