Darmok N Jalad They want to upsell you. They know they have clients by the snarglies, or they wouldn’t ask so much for what once was a mid-grade gaming line.

GodisanAtheist - Issue with these graphs is they struggle to capture IQ degradation as a result of texture swapping and place holder textures. New game engines seem to work around huge performance hits by simply keeping an ultra low res texture in place until the higher quality asset can be streamed in. You're not going to see much change to overall game performance, but it will make the experience worse.

It's really up to the individual at that point if the IQ hit bothers them or not.

This is literally applicable at every step, just for different use-cases.Literally none of their cards make sense except for the '90', which is priced bc they know they can't get you upgrade the next [website] limited to basic console gaming12GB/<45TF limited to run out at 1440p/[website] run out of compute at 1440pRT/4k. 5080 run out of ram. 24GB not-enough raster on a 5080 to keep up with 4090 that is actually built for 4k native or 1440pRT upscaling to [website] 4090 makes sense, but is a fortune. The 5090 makes almost no sense, and is even more of a fortune, but ig makes sense for people that need the best humanly possible and money is no [website] is, literally EVERYTHING is an upsell. And that up-sell will be outdated by the next thing almost [website] something I've meant to bring up. It's a dirty trick for RAM limitations, and I'd love for people to understand this...butbeyond MH polys It doesn't have to be that way, but you also need to buy a card that isn't limited by VRAM. Some people think it's the game...:p. It is, but it's not a bug, it's a feature (because your graphics card is vram-limited)!IDK how to get people to understand all these [website]'s so many underhanded things going on now that people literally have to dig through so much crap to understand correctly that they just don'[website]'s like nVIDIA wins by information paralysis and people never being able to parse it all(largely because much of the important information, such as real needed RAM allocation for high-rez textures, are hidden).I really do think the best way to show it is open-world games like [website] they once were the most glaring to show hitching from load/swap, now they show the effect of the inability/lag from a low-rez asset to a high-rez swap due to buffer (even if fps/ram usage steady).This is why I laugh at 'stutter struggle' or the 'nVIDIA use less ram' arguments. Yeah, they do all of that....because of this very exact thing. Fast ram helps for a swap, but not if it's not enough to hold everything!Which is increasingly the case. MH needs 16-18GB to keep the textures loaded all the time. I expect a lot of 12GB users complaining about this very thing...'but it only uses [x]GB and/or good fps!'And ofc they'll say 'it's the game not being optimized' and/or 'broken', or worse yet they'll believe the game is supposed to be that way (and blame the dev placeholder assets for looking bad).Certainly not nvidia skimping on ram for the capability of your GPU (that can apparently run the actual simulation just fine but not keep decent textures loaded).There will be more and more of this, most more subtle, even for 16GB users. It's a bummer; goes to show nVIDIA really has caught on to a lot of our testing methods and will do literally anything to save a [website] is why you should *ALWAYS* trust allocation, never usage. This exact thing and for that reason. A lot of people just don't get it (or have time/interest to learn), and I truly do think nVIDIA relies on [website] you think I like writing bazillion word essays? No. Does nVIDIA expect you to watch hour long videos on people investigating how their stuff *actually* works (which they do their best to hide)? Prob [website] I hope people read and/or watch them, because so much cut-corners/penny-pinching/planned obsolescence occurs and many don't even understand how/why and or sometimes that actually is until you [website] people saw or now see through the '5070 is a 4090' nonsense because either they could understand 1080p->4k upscaling and 4x framegen (1 of 16 pixels) or people explained it to them, which is [website] there are MANY more instances of stuff like that, and some of them are incredibly difficult to explain and/or show people, like this exact issue, which is tough unless they actually are already using the [website] star for bringing this up; inform whom you can when you can so they are not tricked and/or confused by this. :toast:

Vayra86 Try Dawn of War again, and this time, just take what was great from DoW 2, make the maps a LOT bigger and the scale of the battle too. Expand the unit caps. And then you can drip feed us all those factions again, I don't even care. Implement an endless game mode with campaign/tech progression to conquer some backwater planet we can tweak and edit ourselves. DO NOT hide units behind unlockables/achievements this time.

Mechanically DoW 2 had it all in good order, the biggest issue was the proximity of camera, something superior tech can fix now, so take your DoW 3 skins and this time plunk it into a proper RTS, and then focus entirely on fleshing out every WH40K race with the full arsenal of units. No hero units please, unless you can do it Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos good- but I'd much rather see a command squad as per the WH40K game itself and staff units as parts of regular units.

Onasi At some point realization will set in that RTS is just a very niche genre that has been outpaced by the industry, unfortunately. What Relic has to do is to maybe try something completely innovative like they did long ago with Homeworld, but I wouldn’t hold my breath - they are a different enterprise now. Most crucial thing that they should NOT do is to repeat the idiocy of DoW3 - don’t attempt to go for an e-sports angle. The only two RTS games that have survived and succeeded as an e-sport are StarCraft (obviously) and AoE2. Even WC3 has fallen off and the dismal failure of AoE IV exhibits that just making a new title in a series and pushing it onto the scene just isn’t enough.

Exactly! The recipe is here. People, including me, want DoW 1, with DoW2 visuals, sound, and physics. People want to play Unification and Ultimate Apocalipse mods, with greater graphics flawless stability, and nothing of DoW1 gameplay to be removed. This is what next Relic game should look like. Heck this is so belated, many people were waiting this for more than a decade. Not some useless MOBA, not some MTX driven mobile garbage, not some half-baked half- designed abomination, that CoH3/DoW3 [website] while such game could be designed, relic could release the source code for DoW1 (and possibly 2), for modders to fix the garbage and issues, that still riddle the game. As much, as add the multi-threading, and optimise the game load time and queue, and overall optimise it for 64bit OS, and bigger RAM allocation [website], because hundreds, if not thousands of people play DoW1 daily, Steam or not, modded, or vanilla. This game is as good as C'n'[website], as W40K, SM1 being abandoned, it would be great to have the code either, for modders to try add new areas/maps weapons, armour, etc. Since as time has shown, that SM1 is not much worse, than the "successor". Outside if the visuals, the second game has ended up not even more advanced game, to be honest. It's more complex, more useless stats and ideas. And the additional modes, like horde/exterminatus, are yet to be seen untill the end of the year (the other races, like necrons and orks, which just feel like the should be there, are not there).But if the first one had more maps, custom and relic made, tactical dreadnought armour and weapons, and dedicated servers, a lot of people would jump into the game, without [website] is pretty spectacular and almost ideal RTS (with mods). There's almost not much left to invent, at least for W40K. Ask it's community members.

Windows 10 dies in 2025: Here’s the impact it will have on your PC

Microsoft will release the last modification for Windows 10 with the Patchday on October 14, 2025, after which this version of Windows will no longer receive any updates. What does this mean for consumers?

Windows 10 is not immediately insecure or no longer usable.

First of all, there is no need to panic about this date. Windows 10 will theoretically continue to run indefinitely, as Microsoft is not discontinuing the functionality of the operating system, there will “only” be no more updates from November. This means that you can continue to use Windows 10 in principle, but no more security gaps will be closed, for example.

Of course, given that cyber attacks on companies and private individuals continue to increase, this can be a problem for Windows 10 consumers in the long term. This is because newly discovered security gaps in the operating system can give attackers access to the computer, its data, and the network. PCs connected to the internet in particular are then fundamentally less protected. However, the security functions of the operating system remain active, including malware protection.

As a precaution, you can disconnect your PC from the internet completely, but this reduces the usefulness of the computer, especially in a private environment. In principle, there is nothing to be presented against Windows 11, especially as Microsoft still allows you to revision for free.

These are the real dangers for Windows 10 without support.

New security vulnerabilities are regularly discovered in the various versions of Windows — even years later. From October 2025, Microsoft will no longer close these in Windows 10, so the likelihood of malware gaining access to a PC increases with each passing day. As most PCs are connected to the internet via a router with a firewall, there is often no danger to be expected via this route. However, there are numerous websites that are contaminated with malware.

There are also emails that you receive or programs that you download. These can contain malware that spreads on your PC if the malware scanner does not recognize it. If you actively use your PC with the internet, especially in sensitive areas such as online banking, you should always revision the operating system or switch to Linux, for example. In this case, using Windows 10 is too high a risk.

As soon as Windows 10 is no longer supported, the developers of third-party software will also stop releasing updates for Windows 10 at some point. Microsoft’s own Office 365 subscription loses compatibility with Windows 10 in October, for example. This will also make these programs less secure and in some cases no longer usable. This will not happen immediately, but it is an inevitable development. It therefore also makes sense to modification your software for reasons of compatibility and security.

Cyber criminals will focus heavily on Windows 10.

, Windows 10 still has a large market share of over 60 percent compared to just over 30 percent for Windows 11. The security organization ESET estimates that 32 milion PCs are still running Windows 10 in Germany alone. This means that cyber criminals will increasingly focus on Windows 10 security vulnerabilities after the end of support because it will be worth it. As soon as these gaps are publicly known, tools and programs will appear that exploit them. From this moment on, people of the outdated operating system risk losing their data.

At the end of support for Windows 7 in 2020, the operating system only had a market share of 20 percent. It is therefore to be expected that many criminals are already working on attacks on Windows 10, if only because of the enormous spread of the operating system.

If malware has infiltrated a PC in the home network, all data is at risk, including that on internal network storage such as NAS devices.“It’s five to twelve to avoid a security fiasco in 2025. We strongly advise all people not to wait until October, but to switch to Windows 11 immediately or choose an alternative operating system if their device cannot be updated to the latest Windows operating system. Otherwise, people expose themselves to considerable security risks and make themselves vulnerable to dangerous cyber attacks and data loss,” explains IT security expert Thorsten Urbanski from ESET.

Can you continue to use Windows 10 safely?

Of course, it is not advisable to panic and immediately disconnect your PC from the internet or network in October. If you want to continue using Windows 10, you can book the Extended Security Updates program from Microsoft. This costs around $60 for the first year until October 2026. In this case, you will continue to receive updates from Microsoft. This extension runs a total of three times until October 2028, after which updates will also stop.

An alternative that you can already use now is the 0Patch security solution. This is a corporation that provides security updates for Windows 10 until 2030. However, the corporation’s cloud-based software does not enhancement the Windows 10 system files, but activates the patches in the computer’s RAM. This means they have to be reloaded every time the computer is started. The software is even free to use. If you want more comprehensive protection, you can book the paid version for a little more than $25 per year (25 euros).

There are many tips on the internet about using the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 operating system. This basically corresponds to Windows 10 Enterprise with all functions and will receive updates until 2032, but its use as an office PC is not permitted under licence law. Technically, however, you can safely use the operating system after purchase until 2032. There are also enough solutions for protection against malware that you can use in parallel, some of which are completely free of charge.

For most people, updating to Windows 11 is the easiest option.

Of course, not all hardware supports Windows 11, but where installation is not a problem, you should carry out the free improvement. The operation of Windows 11 is still very similar to that of Windows 10 and you will continue to receive security updates and new functions. Before updating, check that all the applications and tools you use are compatible with Windows 11.

Get Windows 11 pro for cheap Windows 11 Pro.

In general, it is also very useful to make a complete backup of the operating system on an external hard drive and create a rescue disc beforehand. This can be done free of charge in Windows 10 and Windows 11 with on-board tools.

The data snooping of Windows 11 can be deactivated with on-board resources and free tools, for example with ShutUp10 . Run “[website]” to check whether your PC has a TPM module. This is necessary for the modification. If the tool does not display the TPM, check the BIOS to see if it is switched off. If your PC’s hardware has problems with Windows 11, it may be time to buy a new PC.
