Forced am upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 through despite the Ryzen 3 2200G CPU being unsupported, apparently for being underpowered. No more FOMO when it comes to AI features released for only Win11.
Also installed a 2TB Samsung 970 Pro NVMe SSD to improve loading times. Both GIMP for Windows and Cyberpunk 2077 were clear winners. The latter has a soon-to-be released DLC/expansion that specifies an SSD as a minimum requirement. The form factor of the NVMe "drive" reminds me a bit of an isolinear chip.
It's good from my perspective that the Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti 16GB card bombed with gamers and had a price cut to compete with AMD's recent GPUs. It's not too much more than the 12GB RTX 3060, but will be able to run larger AI nodels. GPUs with 20GB+ are prohibitively expensive for my budget. It would be nice if Pytorch came out with ROCm support for Windows, giving everyone more choice beyond Nvidia. (Not everyone can afford to dedicate a GPU to Linux in order to get ROCm support.)
