[ashen swan]

Here are my cables

[pliant berry]

no the top left is your window and bed

[craggy shoal]

bro sleeps inside the window

[craggy shoal]

You should drill holes behind the desk inside the cabinet and place the laptop and MacBook inside so you can consolidate your peripherals to all be on the same desk

Drilling holes so you can route the chargers and other cables in there from behind the desk

Would look miles cleaner

Grand opening at 10am

And maybe win free pc

[pliant berry]

oh nice, the pc is for me right?

[upper rain]

still could tbf. we went from 4ghz all core to 5.6 from zen 3 -> 4. a similar increase in clock speed given an even larger jump in node seems totally reasonable imo

it's just a matter of how much IPC we get along with the clock speed, or if we get more IPC and less clock speed. no matter what this is going to be a BANGER of an architecture. AMD would have to totally shit the bed for it to not be wildly faster than Zen 5. it's just a matter of how they get there

[main hemlock]

Any deals rn for a 1440p 240hz OLED monitor?

[rancid juniper]

Will check

[main hemlock]

Nothing curved please, just a regular sized monitor

[rancid juniper]

Lol got it

What's your price range though?

[main hemlock]

Dont know yet, just the best deals you can find

[rancid juniper]

Ok

[rancid juniper]

Amazon: https://a.co/d/0Wek2zB
https://a.co/d/fbD43ND

Pick either one of them and maybe watch a review beforehand

[pliant berry]

right???

[acoustic palm]

i would not get a used one

[rancid juniper]

hmmm, i got a certified refurb laptop and that thing looks new, there was no dents or various hardware issues

maybe the same doesn't work for monitors?

[pliant berry]

it's moreso I probably wouldn't want a used oled

[rancid juniper]

ahhh

[pliant berry]

burn in concerns, dead pixels and so on

[rancid juniper]

[tranquil pebble]

Cyrix MII is something I still have around

[worn night]

Of course

[lone mango]

but le 7 gig milestone

Although something like 6.5 is still huge anyway

my 9600x boosts around 5.62 or so with pbo

[tranquil pebble]

pbo isnt supported on my 5700x3d

[upper rain]

i wouldn't be surprised if we get 7ghz anyway is what i mean

if we get the same raw frequency gain with zen 5->6 as we got with 3->4 (which remember, will be a smaller increase as a %), we'd still see >7ghz CPUs

[lone mango]

Yea they would have to push the voltage a little bit probably, if needed

[tranquil pebble]

isn't it really hard to even hit 6 GHz rn though?

[frigid stag]

7ghz LOL

that brick of an ihs can barely push whatever its doing now

not to mention the silicon improvement needed

[rancid juniper]

6GHZ and you're looking at 200w+ CPU

until then mainstream cpus hit like 5-5.5ghz

[upper rain]

we're talking next gen CPUs lol

whole different node family

[rancid juniper]

o

[upper rain]

N2 family is looking insane. we're not getting N2X which i'd hoped for, but N2P is the next best thing

[lone mango]

Something I hear nobody talk about is n4x

I actually did not know n4x existed

So skipping n4x, the entire n3 family and n2, over to n2p, which is a more efficient n2

No wonder they were so bullish with n2x

Imagine rdna 4 io die

[worn night]

[worn night]

[upper rain]

i was speaking about this when 9070 xt refresh rumors were still hot. people were saying they'd do an N3P GDDR7 refresh, my take was it would be literally the exact same die but die shrunk to N4X with a higher power limit and 21gb/s GDDR6

[worn night]

gddr7x when

[lone mango]

Damn bruh they really might not need n2x tbh

If zen 5 was using n4x the flagship could hit 6 ghz

[lone mango]

Next gen if real

[lone mango]

Also if strix halo is anything to go by, avx512 might not nuke the cpu as badly next gen

Strix halo gets the super saiyan avx 512

[royal crow]

When gddr6x radeon card

[lone mango]

I have a feeling amd might skip it next gen

2 year generation is a lot of time for maturity

[worn night]

[ancient swift]

Why are comment sections so bad for tech lol. People so confidently wrong.

The Steam Machine has a cutdown 7600 and someone tried saying its comparable to a 4070

[acoustic palm]

cutdown 7600m

it really doesnt look good

[frigid stag]

same way they went from ps5 is 2060 to ps5 is like a 3070

[upper rain]

GDDR6X was a Nvidia-Micron collab

i doubt AMD will ever get it

[royal crow]

Sadge

[upper rain]

ps5 is a 6700 (non XT) with some extra TMUs and ROPs iirc

[frigid stag]

it performs like a 2060-> 3060

2060 super is basically 3060 perf so ig it makes sense

its also crazy how if you plug in a mouse its limited to 125hz

[acoustic palm]

steam machine is a 7600m with less CU

which is wild

[upper rain]

7600 - 4 CUs

and probably reduced clock speeds

[acoustic palm]

yup

it has to be CHEAP

cause bad cpu too

worse than a 7400f

[upper rain]

it's a 2x zen4 + 4x zen 4c CPU isn't it?

[acoustic palm]

30w

it doesnt look good at all

[worthy meteor]

It looks like a good console competitor at a console price range to me

[tranquil pebble]

except the GPU is weaker and the CPU probably is too

[ancient swift]

The CPU is Zen 4 vs Zen 2 so its definitely better in single core performance.

[ancient swift]

They said they'd price it comparatively to a similarly specced prebuilt pc. With ram price goin up thats honestly concerning lol

I'd guess 699 at the low end.

[lone mango]

7600m with higher clocks

110w vs 90w

[ancient swift]

There are a lot of Semi Tech enthusiasts like "This is so cool" and they get upset when I tell them they'd be better off building their own because this hardware won't keep up with their promises for long.

PS5 and Series X already started sacrificing things in AAA titles.

[lone mango]

2,45 sustained clocks

[upper rain]

oh fascinating, ig that makes sense. so probably just a 7600m then

[lone mango]

So “game clock”

This is a pumped 7600m

[lone mango]

I say it will be close to a 6600 xt

Maybe even matching it, idk really

But at least very close to it

Since a 7600m is equal to a 6600 roughly

6600 die uses 100w

Could very well be a smol 6600 xt

[ancient swift]

and then people bring up modding games as a thing to get console players to move over and I'm like have you tried modding games on Linux outside of Steam workshop? kinda removes the plug and play experience lol. getting mods from the Nexus sucks on the Steam Deck.

its doable, but completely ruins the console aesthetic. Things like Vortex which would be closer to plug and play. don't work on linux without a bunch of other tools

[lone mango]

Only modding I have done on linux is Minecraft

[rancid juniper]

What makes it interesting is their lower end approach to this, maybe this PC is their baseline for their future games

[lone mango]

Anything else and it would be too expensive

The pictures don’t show the true scale

It fits on your hand if you open it completely 🖐️

It is sub 4 liters

Something that small is expensive and compromises have to be made

That’s all technology is pretty much

Managing compromises

[ashen swan]

https://youtube.com/shorts/PDdbd-ZEiJk?si=uGANdiGqIYedmIBB
this man is on something 14600K is literally the best cpu in value alongside the 265k

He’s on something

And

9700X over 9600X

Like

Unless you need it

2 cores

[lone mango]

Yeah but no upgrading over 14th

Would be better to just wait get nova lake later

But then upgradability goes too

[lone mango]

Honestly it is pretty expensive compard to the 9600x

For 2 more cores

Just pbo 9600x

Raptor lake is good if on 12th gen though

[lone mango]

@upper rain Is he ok https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DQguD5NgH3K

[frigid stag]

bartlett lake might be better

[acoustic palm]

Less CU though

[lone mango]

Yeah it is cut down a bit

[royal crow]

Real af

[lone mango]

That did slip my mind

[royal crow]

Even worse when ur my dad and have 3

[lone mango]

So I guess the clocks offset that then

Yeah I forgot about that

So it is basically a 7600m then

[acoustic palm]

and a pretty bad cpu

so like

it doesnt look good

[lone mango]

No not really

[acoustic palm]

yes really

its a worse 7400f

[lone mango]

Yeah let’s put a desktop cpu in a sub 4 liter chassis

[acoustic palm]

ok

[lone mango]

Might be on par in games

[acoustic palm]

no

its not

its a 30w cpu

😭

[lone mango]

I know

Power usage is not a lot when gaming

The 7400f uses not much more in games

The less voltage, the more efficient it is. It is limited to 30w but most of the gaming performance is retained

If a couple cores are used, it can still clock high without being limited. Really the cap hurts when more cores are used

Like compiling shaders for proton games

[dense locust]

That’s why I run my pc at 0w

[lone mango]

The 7640u clocks up to 4.9 ghz

The 7500f goes up to 5

Under full load these “65w” chips actually draw 88 to account for the io die and interconnect losses

This is a much smaller factor on their mobile chips. Their iod uses far less power which allocates more power towards the cores

It will be worse than desktop obviously, but in games it will be closer

[lone mango]

This will take a while compared to desktop

But in my experience this is mostly a one time thing and some games don’t even need to do this

[winged owl]

[idle nexus]

lol bro I dunno how this worked but I bought three of them (9 fans)

[ancient swift]

Why the hell do Steam fanboys excuse Valve for killing physical games but whine about Nintendo having a cheaper alternative than their cartridges.

[pliant berry]

I am confused

[idle nexus]

I mean, Steam sells digital copies of games which certainly contributed to physical games dying out but isn't it the developers that actually killed them?

[nocturne flicker]

Chex mix removed the cheese crackers from the cheddar mix and replaced them with knockoff cheez-its

[idle nexus]

are we talking about the physical format or killing games by no longer keeping the servers online, etc.

[ancient swift]

The format

[pliant berry]

Kind of yes and kind of no to the first bit. You could say steam killed physical games but physical pc games really hasn’t been a thing for quite some time. Especially since cd mediums died out.

Idk bout Nintendo though. Far as I knew most people just complain about how stupid expensive all versions of Nintendo games are and that they don’t really run sales

[idle nexus]

I think if Steam didn't exist, some other source would've done the exact same thing. Physical copies of games made sense when the internet was way slower for the average person. Also, aren't there plenty of games that wouldn't even fit on a physical format unless they like came on a flash drive?

the point being, I think technology killed physical games more than Steam

[ancient swift]

Nintendo does the similar 3rd party sales that the Xbox and PS5 do. 1st party games go on sale but not regularly.

Publishers decide whether or not to partake in Steam sales and how big the discount is. Its a marketing strat because people go crazy buying games they'll never play.

[ancient swift]

Oh for sure. Discs are not fast enough to run a lot of games, so on console they shifted to installing them onto the internal storage.

And PC was already install discs so people were happy to shift over to a market that had an expansive storefront.

There were other companies who had digital storefronts but it was usually just their own games at the time.

[pliant berry]

Idk personally id never buy Nintendo unless im picking up the games second hand, which is where i can like the physical.
I just rarely am ever willing to spend more than 15-20usd on a game

[ancient swift]

Hell HP and Dell both had storefronts with games.

[idle nexus]

I do miss when you bought a game & that was its final form. It made devs put out actually finished products lol

[pliant berry]

Tbh although im not always a fan of it. Would be interesting if you have a physical medium that could carry your game licenses and downloading such games was a bit more open if that makes sense

[ancient swift]

When was that? New versions and revisions were released all the time for old games? especially when it was delayed regional launches on Nintendos end

[idle nexus]

and best of all, you didn't need to be connected to the internet for it to work. Having saves tied to your username is cool and all but meh

[pliant berry]

Kind of like how some physical license keys for software applications work.. but if you lose the key then good luck

[ancient swift]

Theres an OS that someone made where you can turn SD cards into boot discs for drm free games

[idle nexus]

lol well maybe I'm over-generalizing but the Resident Evil 1/2/3 that was on the disc was its final form

then again, they did make a "Director's Cut" of RE1

[ancient swift]

Kazeta OS is what its called

Would be really cool to set one up for all my GOG games lol

[nocturne flicker]

You forget that Steam didn't really take off until the first half of the 2010s, Consoles had already began the major push to digitization of media with Xbox Marketplace and the PS Store

[misty sparrow]

Nintendo games are sold for way too much used

[ancient swift]

They started growing in 2005 when they introduced 3rd party games. by 2013 they had 75% of the market.

[misty sparrow]

I honestly don't think eight year old games like Breath of the Wild should be consistently selling at $30 used, no DLCs included

[worn wave]

What killed physical games was the storage limitations lmao

[nocturne flicker]

They got their first non-first party games on the platform in 2005. Widescale integration and requirements of Steam didn't start until the 2010s

[worn wave]

Plus read/write speeds maybe

[worn wave]

Plus live service, patches, etc

[ancient swift]

PC's didn't play games off discs directly. They installed from discs so there wasn't a storage limitation.

[nocturne flicker]

And you can see that by that amount of games being added to Steam per year

Up until 2014, it was a slowly growing curve until it exploded in 2014

[worn wave]

So how is this different than downloading the game from an online server to your local storage?

[ancient swift]

All this is cause we didn't wanna get Blue Ray Disc Drives for our PC's so MSFS 2020 wasn't split across 10 Discs.

[worn wave]

I guess if you have slow internet a disk might be faster

But you have to factor in the time to go buy it from the store too

[ancient swift]

So how was storage limitations on PC what killed physical games on PC if everything was already installed.

[ancient swift]

True

[worn wave]

Unrelated but

Ubisoft sucks

[nocturne flicker]

This is unironically why physical media for PC died

[ancient swift]

Its why I'd only ever buy a Ubisoft game used on PS5, which I still haven't done. Hate Ubisoft connect.

[worn wave]

Yeah I have game pass and was hoping to play steep but...

Oh wait it might be working now

[ancient swift]

I hate that I want the new Anno

[nocturne flicker]

We did not have a PS3 moment, so we never got the Blu Ray expansion for the longevity of PC physical media

[worn night]

So unprofessional it looks fake lol

[ancient swift]

I have a blueray Drive. but its not hooked up to a current PC. Maybe one day I'll build in an older case and use it.

[nocturne flicker]

You can get an enclosure

They are pretty expensive because they are niche

But they exist

[ancient swift]

yeee.

[worn night]

I do not think therefore I do not am

[ancient swift]

50$ isn't too bad

[nocturne flicker]

It isn't except new blu ray drives are already pricey

So 70+ on a drive and then 50 for an enclosure

[ancient swift]

Mines one from a dell prebuilt my grandma got back in like 2010; TBH I have no idea if it still works lol.

So no 4k UHD support I'm pretty sure

[misty sparrow]

TBF, Xbox + PlayStation used Blu-Ray Discs (except for Xbox 360 which used DVDs, but even then there usually weren't a lot)

When installing a physical PC game you'd have a shit ton of DVDs to go through

I remember GTAV's physical PC version having six DVDs you'd have to install

[ancient swift]

The 360 had 2 for Halo 4 and GTA V iirc

[misty sparrow]

That was usually standard, GTAV had an install disc and a play disc

Only game I know of that had more than 2 discs on 360 was Wolfenstein New Order which had six four I think

[ancient swift]

That sounds about right

Steam Frame is the most exciting hardware announcement to me and its not even because I like VR.

Its on a regular Snapdragon mobile chip, so theoretically, you could put it on a device with similar architecture like what they were doing for Windows on phones years ago.

imagine if they released a GABEBOY as a cheap Arm handheld meant for 2D indie games. just for the memes

Imagine Valve going for Arm before even thinking about supporting Nvidia GPU's lol

[dense locust]

they are ignoring 90%+ of pc gamers

sounds like a bad idea

i did fresh install after finishing my ram oc and haven't had any issues

[lone mango]

It’s always a horror story with your system

[grand kernel]

well i reinstalled in place without DDU and now everything works again lol

make it make sense

Advanced Migraine Devices

[pseudo raven]

you have a 9070 xt too?

my mentality with graphics drivers is to never update them

ever

ok never mind ive already had 25.11 installed somehow

it uupdated by itself two days ago?

wp

[grand kernel]

yeah

[pseudo raven]

my 9800x3d and 9070xt sure have had fun playing league of legends

[grand kernel]

idk I'm still waiting for them to drop the update that fixes cyberpunk

[pseudo raven]

my 9800x3d has probably seen more orgnaic chemistry than anything else

hooray

[pseudo raven]

whats wrong with it

also have you ever checked your ram latency?

i chjecked mine and it was kinda high

[grand kernel]

path tracing is still pink and randomly crashes

[grand kernel]

i oced my ram

[pseudo raven]

uh yeah same here

got some 6400 cl32 for 80 bucks off hws

but no matter what i do my latency is stuck at like

74

the test in the occt tool or whatever its called

[icy ore]

occultool

[ashen swan]

okay i have a 3 by 8 pin GPU but my PSU only has a 2 by 8 pin

[elfin mural]

you can't do anything about it

other than getting a different psu

or a different gpu that consumes less power

[robust leaf]

Erm.... So... I my 64gb kit I bought in January for $209.99....is now listed for $499.99... Holy inflation

[proud jackal]

congrats you're rich

[robust leaf]

Thought GPU VRAM was more important for AI...

[elfin mural]

vram is still dram

and all the servers do still need dram even for system ram

[tranquil pebble]

I bought a 5600 MTs 96 GB kit for $230 and a 48 GB SODIMM kit for $110

[royal crow]

??? Valve never offered physical carts, and Nintendo has never been a cheaper alternative, seeing as steam is literally free.

[ashen swan]

it's a modular PSU

the card is 7900XTX taichi white

[elfin mural]

does the psu have a 6+2?

you stated 8 pins, and i think they're 6+2 cables

and your psu only has two, right?

[ashen swan]

Here is it

i can't tell sorry

[elfin mural]

cpu/pcie means they're all compatible with pcie and cpu/eps cables

the psu end is the same

it's just the other end that hooks up to the mobo is different

[ashen swan]

so i'm safe

[elfin mural]

yes

just make sure that the psu end of the cable is plugged into the psu

and the other end to the connector that you want

[ashen swan]

HELL YEAHHHHHHH

[elfin mural]

do not use eps/cpu cables to power the gpu, it won't fit anyway

they're keyed different from the pcie connector

[ashen swan]

which is cpu the right or left ?

[elfin mural]

it'll be marked

[ashen swan]

haven't use a modular PSU before

oh

nvm

[elfin mural]

you can take pics when in doubt, i can help you

but it's always marked

some way or the other

[ashen swan]

but

3 pin

and

only 2 PCIE ?????????

i may be dumb

[elfin mural]

you might want to get an adapter cable

that adapts the 12v cable

into a 6+2 or 8 pin pcie cable

those splitter things

i don't think montech sells extra cables

so you have to go aftermarket

the 12v cable's full name is 12vhpwr

v2 i believe, the revised one

oh nvm, it is indeed called 12v-2x6

[zinc fjord]

Can someone give me their honest opinions on the prebuilt skytech gaming Azure 2?

[elfin mural]

you can't choose the psu in prebuilts, so it's a hit or miss gamble

you either get a good unit, or a bad unit that can kill the parts installed on the motherboard

[ashen swan]

Wtfffff

At this point

Well

Give me a example of a adapter

[elfin mural]

12vhpwr to 3 8 pin

not sure if it'll fit the revised version of 12v tho

ah

no cable difference

so any 12vhpwr to 3 8 pin cables should work with the psu

[ashen swan]

alr

so

um

reccominadations for PSU that have 3X8

[elfin mural]

can you like

send me a link to sites you use to buy psus from?

i'll find something

or you can just go buy a corsair psu and save the headache

[ashen swan]

It’s a mess you won’t understand trust me

[ashen swan]

Wait that’s all ?

[elfin mural]

yes

corsair psus have more cables

[ashen swan]

I’m on car rn I’ll double check with you later

[elfin mural]

and does come with 12vhpwr native and adapter

if not, then just buy a cable kit really

corsair has a ton of stuff that people can buy on top

[icy ore]

[ashen swan]

cosair PSUs don't exist here

oh nvm

[elfin mural]

just make sure to buy one that has atx 3.0 support

and you're golden

[ashen swan]

3.1

.......

[ashen swan]

montech titan 850 ?

[elfin mural]

3.1 is a revision

so it's better

lemme check the titan, idk if it's a good unit

[ashen swan]

so 3.0

above

[elfin mural]

tbh you don't need any atx 3.0 or above psus

[ashen swan]

it's the gold version btw

[elfin mural]

you don't have an nvidia gpu

the titan gold seems to be a-tier

[ashen swan]

it's A+

lmao

[elfin mural]

ye

[ashen swan]

the one that is A- is plat

[elfin mural]

exact same cable situation as the century ii tho

[ashen swan]

hmmmm

[ashen swan]

https://asrock.com/Power-Supply/SteelLegend/SL-850GW/index.tw.asp ?

[elfin mural]

tbh psus are made by the same few companies usually

i think this one should be a safe choice

it also has 3 pcie 8 pin cables in the box

[ashen swan]

the 1000 W which is the one i'm getting has worse transmitters

so hold on

[elfin mural]

do you really need 1000w tho

you're not powering a 5090

[ashen swan]

i mean

i forgot about that lmao\

[elfin mural]

850w is plenty for any reasonable hardware config

that isn't like core ultra 9 285k and 5090

[ashen swan]

even 5080 and 9800X3D ? i may have been brainwashed about this

[elfin mural]

yes

and the 9800x3d doesn't require all that much power

it can happily use 88w and run fast

[ashen swan]

alr

good to know

oh yeah

what's ryzen master

[elfin mural]

a cpu tuning software for amd cpus

i'd just use the bios instead though

[ashen swan]

Laptop

[elfin mural]

ah

well ryzen master doesn't support laptop cpus

unless it's an HX sku

[ashen swan]

oh

.........

[elfin mural]

you can use UXTU tho

but it can be hit or miss with laptops

on my laptop it doesn't apply the settings at all

[icy obsidian]

DP 1.4 appears to only support 4k 120 so why would a 4k 165 monitor have nothing better? am i missing something?

[ashen swan]

grammer please

well

4k 120 Means

it's capped at 4K 120

and your monitor is 165

so it can't reach it

simple

[icy obsidian]

… I’m well aware 120 is less than 165. the monitor doesn’t have a faster connection than DP 1.4

Yeah ive done it before if pc is lagging just spam click task manager and youll open a ton

[tranquil pebble]

Windows 11 even existing is a bug

[idle nexus]

not on ghost-spectre LTSC lol

no updates causing bugs over here

I used to be on Canary for Windows Insider but I finally realized, I don't care lol

plus, I think the SteamOS/Linux revolution isn't that far away

[tranquil pebble]

Cyberpunk

[idle nexus]

lol yes by the time my system begins updating again, there will be bigger problems to deal with

[lone mango]

It’s already here but people for some reason feel safe behind a company

SteamOS exists for their products

[idle nexus]

how many background processes does anyone else's task manager show rn?

[lone mango]

Everybody can switch right now but for some reason they want to rally behind the distro valve maintins

[idle nexus]

Windows still being Windows tho

& that's even tho it's stripped pretty

[idle nexus]

bazzite is kinda cool. I like ZorinOS on my otherwise useless tablet. I've used Mint/Cinnamon before & I'm kinda meh with Ubuntu. What should I use?

isn't arch like complicated as heck or something?

[frigid stag]

i finally fixed my windows issue with the mailto pop ups “how do you want to open this”

[tranquil pebble]

EndeavourOS exists if you want easy Arch

its what I use

[pliant berry]

I tried bazzite for a bit, now im trying cachyos

[idle nexus]

I'm having this issue where all my fan controllers disconnect when I launch a game. I've been at war with it & still get nowhere. I disabled USB selective suspend in power settings; I've used Windows Power Settings Explorer Utility to max out USB hub timeouts; I've used Ultimate Performance, High Performance, & ghost-spectre's custom GameTurbo power profiles; and I've used USBDeview to change a bunch of reg keys but they STILL power down to rainbow mode. I'm seriously considering getting distribution blocks & making my own fan controllers powered with SATA/Molex that get aRGB & PWM off the board headers cuz this is so frustrating

[worn night]

things get real when a mod techie is asking for help in chat

and edits their message 2 times

[idle nexus]

lol for clarity

[worn night]

hmmmmmmm

[worn night]

i have no clue

r u using fancontrol

[idle nexus]

USBDeview is a really useful utility thing

[lone mango]

Zorin is cool yeah, looks like w11. That might be one I recommend for old laptops for that familiarity

I think cachy is great

It is a gaming distro

But you can do whatever for it really

[idle nexus]

I'm using Thermaltake's awful fan controllers that lack their own memory so as soon as they're powered down, they revert to default, i.e., rainbow hellscape

[lone mango]

Just that it has some extra gaming bits

[worn night]

well theres ur problem

try fancontrol

its simple yet effective

[idle nexus]

it's compatible with those fan controllers? cuz they put 9-pin (basically USB 2.0) headers on their fan connections so rgb & fan speed are all on one connection

[worn night]

i would try

its easy to install and uninstall

[idle nexus]

I'm convinced it has to be something with the chipset driver overriding my settings

I've manually overridden these settings in regedit for every single USB device except external storage & capture card

but like 3 minutes after Arc Raiders launches, they go to rainbow. It's weird cuz Fallout 4 doesn't do that & both are steam games... I've disabled Game Mode. It's infuriating
