Complex challenges in handling multiple tasks simultaneously.
Complex challenges in handling multiple tasks simultaneously.
Windows 11 stands out among operating systems since Windows 2000/NT. After removing all data mining features, ads, and fine-tuning, it becomes an excellent choice. Performance-wise, with an X3D chip, you'll notice a boost thanks to the chip's design. This aligns with recommendations from the 3D V-Cache community. It's encouraging to hear you plan to test different memory kits separately. Getting the latest chipset drivers is highly advised—check that first. Regarding ASUS Armoury Crate, it’s likely running in the background; removing it might help if you're experiencing issues. Uninstalling it could resolve performance problems, though it may be a cumbersome step. Also, verify for any firmware updates on your Samsung drive via Samsung's software—there was a recent slowdown issue reported, possibly specific to that model.
I need to reinstall Armory Crate since I removed it after updating everything—most of what I have doesn’t get updated often enough to need those tools. I wasn’t aware drives might receive firmware updates, so I’ll look into that.
yes - but does op have 2 monitors? didn't see it. me i can run several videos in background there won't be an issue as long enough ram is available for example. i do believe OPs issue is likely due to the mixed ram and maybe other problematic bios settings or such. this is such a strange take though... never heard of this, and frankly wouldn't listen to a "vcache community" either, fact is there are zero issues on win 10 for me with 5800x3D (which is the os it was designed with in mind btw at the time) id only "upgrade" as a last resort and certainly would first make sure its not a ram problem by using only a certified kit that's on the QVL
I have some nostalgic feelings about that operating system, especially when playing solid games like Dune 2000, Warcraft II, Starcraft, and Diablo II. It really brings back memories of the underlying mechanics. I thought the updated scheduler could offer better capabilities in Windows 11—AMD revealed the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D and announced 3D V-Cache improvements for mobile chips (anandtech.com). It seems there might have been some optimizations for other AMD 3D V-Cache models as well. Maybe I was mistaken.
i think that's for intel... they try it for amd too obviously but it doesn't seem to be actually an improvement over w10 afaik. i mean i don't have a problem when someone likes 11 more than 10, but 11 isnt mature yet and all these tpm requirements and whatnot dont gel well with me either. oh i thought you meant 11, yeah older windows had their charm, me i have fond memories of 95/98, xp and vista (i really liked vista and had zero problems with it) 10 is kinda the continuation of that, 11 seems a complete departure, especially ui wise. i have a laptop that still has the w10 anniversary edition installed , the GOAT imho... its snappy even on that old thing, it has all the features I'd want...
The scheduler can influence X3D variants beyond just the latest Intel chips. While some argue it isn't essential or a must-have, others believe it offers extra advantages compared to Windows 10's scheduler setup. It seems more relevant for bigger X3D models such as the 7900X3D and 7950X3D. Still, there were repeated mentions of AMD experiencing scheduling problems with Zen4, whereas Windows performed better on 11. I concur that Windows 11 isn't as polished as Windows 10, but after two years of use, it feels reliable. From a stability perspective, it matches Windows 10 in consistency. Many find the strict OS requirements frustrating, yet tools like Rufus can ease some of those challenges. My previous comments were about Windows 11 resembling Windows 2000 post-modification, which is quite surprising—liking Vista for some is like liking Windows ME. For me, Windows 11 acts as a bridge between Windows 2000 and XP, similar to how I experienced Windows XP after its SP1/SP2 updates. Installing Windows XP only after those patches made it more acceptable. The UI overhaul in Windows 11 was significant, akin to moving from XP to Windows 7, though it does require some adjustment time. Once comfortable, tasks become smoother. Windows 10 will remain a notable OS in history. I also managed to run Windows XP on an older machine, which really improved its performance.
yeah, i know, but after doing some research it seems people mostly had issues with stability and compatibility, which is understandable why they thought it was bad... but upon further research many didn't have pcs that actually fulfilled the requirements, ie not enough ram for example. me 1st thing i did was buy an additional 1gig and and Ati graphics card (x1950gt) and literally barely had any issues... been running this setup until 2017! yeah w10 is just really versatile, runs fine on machines it shouldn't even run ... is hella stable (if your ram isn't crashing constantly lol) idk and frankly also don't care about the scheduler thing, seems mostly like snakeoil to say "please upgrade we improved thingy"... but as said 5800x3D runs perfectly fine on w10 and i honestly doubt there's a real performance jump on w11. also i really hate the ui... I'll ride this out until w12 comes out simply - been there, done that (never had w7 or w8 for similar reasons)
Seems like today’s developments with Windows 11 reflect the same trends we saw with Vista—more demanding hardware specs. With Aero, it was a big shift in expectations. It makes sense that requirements grew so high. That’s impressive that you kept it running until 2017; when did the original build start? ATI has been around since the early days, and I’ve owned a full set of All-in-Wonder cards since 1996. Even now, I still have a CD-Rom for Windows 10 Pro, not just on a flash drive. It’s a solid alternative to Windows for older or slower systems (really flexible). I’m not sure if I ever faced stability issues with RAM, though—probably because I’ve been using 16GB or more since 2011. Hopefully, this trend continues. On very old hardware, though, it can start to cause problems, especially with memory. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get you onto the latest release group. But maybe this will work (I found an article explaining how Windows 11 was designed for better thread management and scheduling compared to earlier versions): Thread Director: Windows 11 Does It Best - (anandtech.com) You’re right that many users don’t notice a big jump in performance when moving from 10 to 11, especially in raw or average frame rates. Some say it helps with smoother frames thanks to better core/thread handling and Game Mode/Game Bar. This can lead to slightly improved frame times—sometimes by a few percent. Whether that’s proven is still uncertain, but reports suggest it could be helpful. Even if not fully validated, it seems encouraging based on forum discussions. Of course, if your machine runs smoothly at 10 and you can handle it through 12, that’s a win. Just keep in mind, support for Windows 10 might end around 2025 (though this isn’t confirmed). Be cautious—there are rumors it could pivot toward mobile OS first. While I don’t think calling it snakeoil is necessary, I get why you’d be skeptical. Still, a few tech enthusiasts on Anandtech and others are testing Windows 11 more often. With regular updates and patches, it might become more reliable. If you ever have the chance, try running Windows 2000 (NT 5.0) in a VM and playing Dune 2000—it’s a nostalgic blend of old-school tech.
