I never really cared much about Threadripper, since I don't really have a use case for them, but I would like to know what's the general opinion about this release.

Due to anti-lag settings in 23.10.1 were setting off VAC banning in certain games.

Summary: This was on Linux using kernel mitigations. The performance impact can be very significant to some workloads, like databases and compression, but most users likely will not notice any impacts.

While Herkelman didn’t specify what those “major” announcements could be, AMD is due to launch new Radeon RX 7000-series graphics cards sometime this year. During an earnings call earlier this month, AMD CEO Lisa Su said the company will reveal “enthusiast-class Radeon 7000 series cards in the third quarter” of 2023.

Ever since I got my RX 6800 XT I have noticed that when I tab out of a game or try taking a screenshot with the Snipping tool, my cursor would turn into a horizontal line. It would fix itself if I move it around a bit, but I have never had this issue before. I have the latest drivers installed. This is happening on Windows 10.

Previously I had a GTX 960, but I uninstalled all Nvidia drivers before installing the AMD ones.

Does anyone else have this issue and how did you fix it?

Im finally moving to AMD gpu. I have decided on RX 7900 XT and i need your help to choose which brand. Im debating between Asus Tuf and Sapphire Pulse. They are priced the same (8€ difference) but Asus is coming with 2y warranty while Sapphire with 3y. So far I only had experiences with Asus and I didnt have problems with their gpus, i had some minor problem with mbo (5+y ago) What are your experiences with Sapphire and which gpu would you recommend?

Thanks!
