Well then. Why not make them not shitty?

I have a similar setup and in the end just went for a cheap chinese („ESKEVE“) 4x HDMI 2.0 KVM switch that supports 4K60. No problems except HDR does not work properly, which is not useful on my monitor anyway. Laptops are on USB-C docks with HDMI 2.0 out, PC uses a passive DP to HDMI cable.

Any HDD should be able to get at least 100MB/s sequential write speed. Unfortunately torrent writes are usually very random, which just kills hdd performance. Multiple parallel downloads or concurrent playback from the same disk will only make it worse.

Using a SSD for temporary files will absolutely help. It should be big enough to hold all the files you are downloading at any one time.

You could also try to find a write cache setting that works for you. That way what would usually be many small writes can be combined to bigger chunks in memory before sending them to storage. Depending on how much ram is available I would start at 1GB or so and if it is still bottlenecking try in- or decreasing until it improves. Of course always stay in the range of free ram.

Back when I was torrenting (ages ago) write cache helped a lot. It should be somewhere in the settings menu.

l2arc is a read cache. Slog only is for synchronous writes.

I would get a laptop as well in that situation. Just make sure it is one that supports setting the charging threshold. Having it on all the time will kill the battery quickly if it keeps charging from 95 to 100%. It’s much better to keep it below 80%, which should still give enough “UPS time”.

The battery will also not electrically protect the motherboard from voltage swings. So get a good power adapter that can handle the voltages.

The thing works by linking an AMD graphics card with a neural processing unit via “PowerColor GUI,” resulting in rather impressive efficiency gains.

So, how does it actually work? „Linking“ is too vague to explain anything.

The only thing I can imagine is some sort of upscaling from a lower resolution, which is hardly revolutionary.

1. Next time, buy AMD.

I agree with Minecraft, just not online and put it on peaceful. But GTA? That must be a joke. Even outside of the missions there is plenty of driving over people, shooting and other events that are inappropriate at that age.

Will it get fun?

How is CDPR on the same level as EA?

Don’t worry, there will be plenty bugs left for AMD users as well.
