If you just want to disable RTX (Ray Tracing) but keep the GPU running, you can turn off RTX in-game settings or disable Ray Tracing in NVIDIA Control Panel (for supported applications).

Quote from: Martin Despodov on Today at 15:17:37I've lived long enough for windows machines to surpass Apple in price. As much as I like the idea of such a PC that does not have compatibility issues and does not compromise performance for battery, I cannot justify giving so much money away for a portable machine that logically could not surpass stationary ones, especially given the state the os is in right now. This hardware is wasted away on software that is really behind. If Intel wants to take Apple 's clientele, they have to turn to Microsoft to optimize the software, to actually make certain their make machines that could work flawlessly for longer. Only then would it be actually viable to invest top dollar for a windows laptop

Windows machines surpassed Apple in price a long time ago to be honest. Apple themselves have been dragging their price down these last few years; a new (as in current-gen, not just off-the-shelf) 16GB MacBook went from $999 to $799 although thanks to DRAM/SSD price increases that's likely to shoot back up. And unfortunately for Intel, the Wintel alliance from the 2000s is basically gone. M$ sees the writing on the wall: the aging x86 will be eventually pushed out by ARM in the PC space. I'd argue that more software devs are writing for ARM platforms already and have been for years anyways, thanks to the smartphone. Intel tried to make their own Linux Distro (Clear Linux) which was supposed to be super optimized for their platforms, but they dropped it a few years ago.

Either way, as bad as Windows has become, I'm more than happy to buy 1-2 year old platforms and run Linux on them, as by then they're 99%+ compatible. I'm not in any rush.

Krise nimmt Fahrt auf: DRAM soll im ersten Quartal 110% teurer werden, SSDs bis zu 60%

Das hört sich an 1000 Euro für einen 16GB und 1TB-Notebooks mit Low-End-CPUs an.
Eigentlich wie vor 4-5 Jahren zur Blüte der Corona-Zeit.

Aber auch die jetztigen Preise bedeuten, dass die Notebook-Preise mit der Zeit immer höher werden.
