The "Secret Sauce" is on its way for non believes!

NuggetsOfGod4108d ago (Edited 4108d ago )

I hope the "Secret Sauce" is extra spicy for the haters!

I am more excited for high end pc boost.

But, I want to see what it can do for console.

Also why is knowone talking about the fact tha Deus Ex Universe engine will be shown with amd tressFX 3.0?

Pretty cool. Should help devs adopt more modern rendering techniques on both PC & Xbox rather than have to target old versions to cover the majority of their users.

I saw a report that the new Windows update causes a performance decrease in gaming performance.

Here comes another feature update that resets my settings.

If it doesn't delete your files ala 1809 consider it a minor victory

I’ve noticed they do this as well.

I wonder how they legally get away with stealthily resetting all the privacy settings to allow tracking and monitoring without notifying you. It was only by chance I noticed it last time.

Unspoken2192d ago

Any software you use does this unfortunately.

1nsomniac2192d ago (Edited 2192d ago )

I think you’re misunderstanding what happens. All your windows settings remain untouched, it doesn’t change any of your settings accept Those related to your privacy. So all those privacy settings you agreed not to share during the installation and other privacy terms that you agreed not to share, within the privacy options page, even your offline linked windows accounts. It secretly enables all of those options without notifying you that it’s changed your selected options that both parties had agreed to. I don’t think they’ll be allowed to continue to do that under GDPR laws so we’ll see if it happens again. However unfortunately for me being in the UK, we won’t have GDPR laws for much longer after we leave the EU.

The term "willingly" is questionable at best...

Crash restart lockup repeat. Windows. Wonder what will happen to people who take health advice from its creator.

I don't have any problems, so the issue is probably someone who thinks Bill Gates has anything to do with the development of Windows in its current form.

Tacoboto2192d ago

"My PC sucks" = "Bill Gates' billions and billions of investment in vaccines and cures will kill you"?

BigTrain2192d ago

Crash, the END. That's what'll happen.

Asuka2192d ago (Edited 2192d ago )

As a note: WDDM 2.7 requires you to have updated drivers (which currently no official WQHL driver w/ support is available for Nvidia yet. Only development branch 450.xx). Also you need a 7th gen or newer Intel CPU w/ igpu, or a 10 series or newer Nvidia GPU, or latest AMD offerings.

WGAF2192d ago

Last time I update, the ethernet driver wasnt available so no matter what (even factory reset) I can't go online. The only way to update is to go online lol. Well I always wanted an offline laptop, so I guess got what I wish for :/

Fishy Fingers2192d ago

Use wifi (or tether to the device your posting from now) and download the driver.
