On windows 11 your notifications get grouped and you have to click "expand" to see them all. Is there a way to make it so they never group and you can see them all listed separately right away?

That's about fullscreen optimization. A asked about window mode games optimization. I want to know mainly about games that don't have Fullscreen and run in borderless windowed mode.

"Optimizations for windowed games improves gaming on your PC by using a new presentation model for DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 games that appear in a window or in a borderless window." So for DirectX 12 games, is it indifferent?

I remember reading that UWP apps are better because they don't leave and leftovers after uninstallation. And also that Microsoft wants to make everything UWP eventually in the future. Ubisoft are just getting ahead... Epic Games is there too, Discord, nvidia control panel, almost anything these days really. But years ago there used to have differences between the store apps and the traditional installers, some features missing or added.. maybe now it's all the same.

Hm... So what is the difference of the Windows Store app?

I've noticed that unlike Steam, Ubisoft Connect client is already available to install through the Microsoft Store. Is there any advantage in comparison with the traditional installer? Lighter on the system maybe?

How does that DAC compare to a decent gaming motherboard's audio?

I'm looking to upgrade my 10 years old headset. Looking at the ROG Fusion II 500, it states this: "ESS 9280 High Resolution Quad-DAC" The headset has 3.5mm jack, USB-C and USB 2.0. Does the built-in Quad-DAC only matter when using USB?

This video from Linus tells us that Dolby Atmos actually worked. So while virtual and 7.1 surround sound headphones are a gimmick, are the Dolby Atmos headsets, like the Corsair ones worth it?

Anyone? I'm trying to decide between these two and don't wanna regret it. It's mostly for music and some rpg gaming. I'm coming from an old Logitech Z323.

Which speakers have the best sound quality? The Steelseries are more expensive, but maybe mostly due to RGB and gaming gimmick?

And that means nothing if it doesn't translate to more fps in games. https://howmanyfps.com/processors/comparisons/amd-ryzen-5-5600x-vs-intel-core-i5-8500 Maybe they got it reversed...

The i5 8500 gives more FPS in most games. The t5 5600x is superior for multitasking, editing and so on. Overall the 5600x can be considered a better value, but never far superior.

You have a good CPU for gaming. It's not worth changing to a 5600x, for example. The i5 8500 is better in most games.

Just because it can bottleneck a little at 1080p, you'll still have better performance at 1080p than at a higher resolution. Bottleneck doesn't necessarily mean worse performance. What you need is more Ram, 8GB is short these days.
