    emike09 replied to the thread News Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 launch gets stranded on the runway amid launch woes.

    It's a bad thing when being CPU limited is just a limitation of how the developers implement their code to use the CPU properly. Having...

    emike09 replied to the thread News Microsoft says Flight Simulator 2024 still suffers from access problems despite adding more server capacity to handle demand.

    "Obviously, player counts for MSFS 2024 are well over 200,000, which gives us an idea of how popular Microsoft's new simulator is."...

    emike09 replied to the thread News Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 launch gets stranded on the runway amid launch woes.

    It's not A. FS2024 performs substantially better than 2020. It's far more efficient at utilizing the hardware it runs on. And manages to...

    emike09 replied to the thread News Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 launch gets stranded on the runway amid launch woes.

    I expected some issues for launch; Flight Simulator is quite popular globally and it always has been. There's going to be a massive...

    emike09 replied to the thread News Wi-Fi 8 will not improve transfer speeds — the new standard will, however, enhance reliability and user experience.

    This is exactly the direction they need to go right now. Managing Wi-Fi in a 60K sq. ft warehouse is a pain. Anything to increase...

    emike09 replied to the thread News Steam drops Windows 7 and 8 support with the latest client — users told to ‘update to a more recent version of Windows’ to continue gaming.

    It's about time. Windows has always been backwards compatible with the exception of off-system server requirements. You can still...

    emike09 replied to the thread News Despite brutal price hikes on many products, VMWare makes Fusion Pro and Workstation Pro free for all users.

    We just barely renewed licensing for ESXI 8/vCenter on 5 brand new servers and 4 existing servers. Much to my disappointment. A lot of...

    emike09 replied to the thread News UserBenchmark suggests you buy the i5-13600K over the Ryzen 7 9800X3D — says AMD drives sales with 'aggressive marketing' rather than 'real-world p....

    I see where they are coming from, but it's a weak argument. I buy more than I need when I upgrade for futureproofing, expecting to get...

    emike09 replied to the thread News Diabatix and Asus hit new overclocking records with LN2-optimized heatsink – Intel Core Ultra 9 285K hits 7.448 GHz.

    Lol. AMD cannot in any way be better at setting a record for the U9-285K. Only the U9-285K can set the OC record for that CPU. This...

    emike09 replied to the thread News CUDIMMs overclocked to DDR5-12108 to set new RAM OC world record — Intel's new Arrow Lake CPUs catapult CUDIMMs past the DDR5-12000 barrier.

    CUDIMMs are pretty cool. Until these got released, I really haven't been very impressed by DDR5 enough to justify and upgrade from my...

    emike09 replied to the thread News San Francisco will spend $212 million to bid 5.25-inch floppy disks goodbye — Muni Metro light rail upgrade represents a $700 million investment.

    Insane that they're still using 5.25" floppies. I started learning computers when 5.25" was still common, but 3.5" was quickly becoming...

    emike09 replied to the thread Review WD Black SN850X 8TB SSD review: The no-compromise 8TB champion.

    About time! It is expensive, yes, but I love seeing bigger NVMe drives. I could replace my 4x 2TB drives with this single drive...

    emike09 replied to the thread News Intel releases NPU drivers with Arrow Lake support — AI PC users will have yet another component that may require regular updates.

    I'm the outlier that enjoys updates. Sure, I kinda get 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it', but I also know my hardware is more capable...

    It's obvious you have to stream the data in. FS2020 accessed over 2 petabytes of world data, 2024 has even higher resolution maps and...
