    Raspberry Pi 4: How to Run Emulators Like RetroPie

    Is 2D Complex Vector rendering done by GPU or CPU?

    James, I just read through that thread and others. Looks like it was a Win8 issue which was fixed in Win10 of 2015.. I guess the issue back again.. no new posts in that thread though.. I have found out today that when I do a fresh install of Win10 and run passmark, I get normal scores, but as...

    Is 2D Complex Vector rendering done by GPU or CPU?

    "Your games would not rely on the 2D processing, unless you are running older games." That's what I thought as well..but im getting about 100 less fps across all my games which I once had a full 300+fps in-- Overwatch, Quake Champs, even CSGO im only getting 280fps. This drop in fps has...

    Is 2D Complex Vector rendering done by GPU or CPU?

    Im wondering because I score very well in a Passmark benchmark, except for the 2D tests in which my system does very bad in the Complex Vectors test, as well as the Windows Interface test... Whatever might be causing this may also be the reason why im getting much lower fps in games for the...

    WIll I have to re-buy all my steam games if I do a fresh Win10 install?

    RefreshWindowsTool.exe did not work for me. My only options were to use "Fresh Start" or to use MedaCreationTool, or download the windows ISO.

    WIll I have to re-buy all my steam games if I do a fresh Win10 install?

    If I download the iso, would I need to mount the image or anything, or could I just run setup.exe? It would be nice to not have bloatware added.

    WIll I have to re-buy all my steam games if I do a fresh Win10 install?

    This website says one is for Anniversary edition and will remove bloatware (via RefreshWindowTool.exe), and the other, via "Fresh Start" is for the Creator Update, which is recommended by Windows https://www.howtogeek.com/265054/how-to-easily-reinstall-windows-10-without-the-bloatware/ Which...

    WIll I have to re-buy all my steam games if I do a fresh Win10 install?

    OK cool..Would you recommend I use that tool, or do the "Start Fresh" option via Windows Defender Security Center> Device Performance & Health> Start Fresh?? Also, Will either of these options also clean my storage drive which is a separate HDD, or only the drive which Windows is install on?

    WIll I have to re-buy all my steam games if I do a fresh Win10 install?

    I have been having issues on my PC and doing a full "fresh" install of Windows 10 may be my only option. I know there are different methods of doing a reinstall of Win10 but I have tried those with no luck, so using the "RefreshWindowsTool.exe" is my final option. On the download page for the...
