This is gaming relevant so FYI, I saw on Reddit that the BIOS setting Hardware Prefetcher Disabled helps AMD with smoother fps and Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch Disabled helps Intel CPUs. Tested the latter on an i3-1115G4. Saw increased performance in multicore scores of Geekbench 6 and Passmark. MaxxMem showed that hyperthreading has a RAM bandwidth impact that is ameliorated by disabling the cache line prefetch.

Maybe one of you AMD gamers may wanna try playing with Hardware Prefetcher Disabled to confirm the hypothesis.

looks like Neverwinter Nights is also getting a remaster, along with Temple of Elemental Evil.

-Damn they're remastering everything out here. NWN ok, but Jesus ToEE is a deeeeeeep cut.

Doubt more than 1000 living people know about it.

eh, you'd be surprised. Because ToEE is "proper" D&D. None of that real time nonsense, amirite? So the people who play the P&P version of the game will like ToEE over anything NWN.

The way the quests are structured also are closer to what a D&D session is like. It's got a rather fanatical following, just, i'm not sure it really needs a remaster.
