EOL Windows driver support for older CPUs without POPCNT instruction

https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5554

Beginning with the Release 555, NVIDIA display drivers will no longer support older CPUs that do not support POPCNT (Popuulation Count) instruction. While these CPUs are already officially not supported on Microsoft's Windows 10/Windows 11, if a user with a PC using an unsupported CPU attempts to install R555+ display drivers, the PC will bugcheck/BSOD when booting into Windows. To check if your PC supports POPCNT instruction:

1. Download the utility Coreinfo from Microsoft's website:

"Your sound system supports LPCM"

when wanna clear stock for RTX3070 8GB below RM900?
I will definitely buy an RTX3050 6GB if it goes below RM400



pc gaming has long dead in Malaysia. more and more of my ex-pc friends now stay with console. age probably plays a role.

if you think gpu is highly marked up here, audio video market is even worse. x6 to x9 (compare to just x5 USD) is common.

Moddiy Recommends Not Using 2024 12V-2x6 Cables for RTX 5090 GPUs

Moddiy to advise that cables built before 2025 should not be used with the new Nvidia GPUs based on the Blackwell architecture. These older cables, identified with an "H+" marking, were constructed using the previous 12VHPWR specifications. In contrast, the new cables, labeled as "H++," feature enhancements that improve power distribution and reduce the risk of overheating, ensuring they can handle the higher electrical loads demanded by modern GPUs. Unlike older cables based on the original 12VHPWR standard, the new models produced from 2025 onward come with thicker wiring and improved materials for both connectors and terminal housings.

remember when everyone says there is no change to the power plug (cable side) when changing from 12vhpwr to 12x-2x6 standard? lmao

I'm too lazy to mod my Z170 mobo to support rebar

because the power plug is a failed design.

5070 now same price as 4070

I'm scared and started buying mobo and ram.
I have tracked DDR5 6000 CL30 ram and price doesn't drop in a year. very disappointed.
