>can you install Windows 8.1 on AM4/Ryzen
It might be possible to install Windows 7 on a Ryzen system with a hack (or hacks). There might've been cases where some games performed better on Windows 7 than Windows 10.

you install it just fine but you have to run the OOBE on keyboard, also backup all drivers in a 2nd usb stick

>>106011102 (OP)
yes, i used to run windows embedded 8 standard (debloatable win 8.0) on a 5800X3D until it became unusable over the last couple of years

>>106011180
how ?

>>106011102 (OP)
nooo!! my hecking fps!!!

>>106011102 (OP)
189 vs 215

Why the fuck do you even need to go to these numbers? I think you need to get yourself a fucking xbox series S and see how much FPS actually matters.

>>106011102 (OP)
>5% CPU difference
>12% frame difference
Sounds about right. Windows is bloated as fuck.

>>106011230
i dunno man, all i needed was drivers for my 2080 super and it just werked. didnt even need any other driver. this was on an old B350 board if that makes any difference

>0.6µs aka 0.0006ms difference
This is literally unplayable

>>106011102 (OP)
so windows 10 is running with core isolation security settings on?

>>106011597
nope and allegedly the runs were done on clean installs ( 20h2 vs windows 8.1 way back in 2020 )

>>106011627
thanks for telling me this is pointless shitting thread about years old thing

gaming on linux is way more stable than windows nowadays which is hilarious

>>106013867
Is it possible to still use Windows based mods on games though? I play some old as shit games and they use batch files for installation in some cases.

>>106013897
you're on /g/ pal, look at the scripts and write a patch yourself if it doesn't work

>>106011627
clean installs have security mitigations enabled by default

>>106013906
It's not even just about that, it's about mods in general and ones that are just dropping DLLs and such in the directory. I was just using an example.

>>106011102 (OP)
Who knew a spy OS took up so much resources. Should have been game over once they said they would start snapshotting your screen to send back to microsoft.

>>106013966
doesn't shit just run through proton anyways though? i'm assuming those .dlls are wine-able or justwerks lol

>>106013867
Why would you lie on an online egyptian basket weaving forum

>>106014065
the tapestries i weave are tedious at best

>not playing the most popular games is way more stable
Fosshit in a nutshell

>>106013897
wine has improved alot. People havent been paying attention

>>106015979
wine still has that bug with unity games where text won't render, what's up with that?

>>106011102 (OP)
Win11 will have half of that, because Recall takes screenshots and analyzes them every second

>>106011306
Buy Xbox series kys

>>106011306
Console users are the lowest life form on Earth.
