i decided agains the log-on screen being added. i thought it may be an intrusive thing that some people may not want to have. that was my judgement and unlike devils pack you can choose what you install. in guir you cant. so i figured it would be better not to unclude such things.

uhmmm do you have any of this upload and tutorial how to have the login screen same ada the devils pack? but its actually guireplacer pack?

ifyou ahve downloaded devils then you can extract the logonui.exe file (well you ahve to extract all at once but yeah) and then replace it in the system32 folder. you might need a program called replacer to do that.. i did mine some time ago with a japanese theme and havent changed in a long time.

if you dont want to download devils pack then maybe some1 will ne nice enough to upload the logon for you.. if i find it on my computer i will upload :)

cheers

Alright Fizical. So then only need the "logonui.exe" ?? only that?? nothing else?

Anybody have this "logonui.exe" ??? please :)

I have replacer :) :shifty:

I was using Devil's Ocean shell pack, but when I updated Windows, being that they updated the shell32.dll, I ran into issues. My question is will that also happen w/ guireplacer?

after you updated windows, just run Guireplacer again, it will update new shell32.dll with appropriate resources.

1. i installed the module, rebuild the icon cache (many times) and there's still no change? do we have to install the module in SAFE mode?

2. when we installing another module, do we need to revert back to the default icons before installing or we can just install another one without losing the default windows icons?

- thanks!

@ kubix: has anything at all changed? check wordpad, notpad etc. if those icons are changing it means the module is working but tempremental and that if you donw have a recently updated system and wmp9 it cracks it and does a half arsed job. i tried many times to fix this but i couldnt work it out.

as for your second question well it would be best to revert back just because you will have some mixed icons possibly. gant2 module changes more icons then say the bluecurve. so if you dont revert back then you'll have a mix,

hmm.. totally there's nth changed. i have to replace it in SAFE mode?

may i know where are the backups?

axis how about you talk to the people running the site b4 you make such stupid allegations. its people like you who make me not want to make any more modules for the public. ungrateful knowalls such as yourself.

let me tell you one thing.. the site is not fully ready for release but due to people wanting it i have uploaded it there. niether myself or to my knowledge schaggo would have deliberately made it so you have to register to download. but you do have to register to post messages. the fact that you have to register to download was something we had never been informed aobut as we are both registered and never tested that. we are not trying to force people to register to increase the member count.

as if member count means anything anyway when there arent many posts.

so what do i think of you axis? i think your a ****ing ******** and you shoudlg et that ****ing poll out of your arse and stop being such a ****. you ****ing ungreatful ********.

haha, you spent all that time writing that and I still don't care. So you are going to stop making modules because you are upset that I mirrored a file you made people reg to dl? Hmm, seems like you have issues you need to look into. Anger managment is one of them, that and language. I really do love the icons and sorry I didn't mention that. You on the other hand, I dunno. Maybe you should step away from your computer, stop acting so tough on a computer and get some fresh air.

if you'd like to act tough in person if you ever in aus then let me know.

i never said i was angry for mirroring dont bring up such rediculous conclusions. i was angry cause you have a go at myself and schaggo for forcing registering. and as im not in charge of the download section or know any php i couldnt do much. i had tried to fix that and i couldnt find the setting for it.

but you went acusing right away without thinking maybe these people didnt have their site ready.. maybe they didnt realise they had forced registering on. i myself didnt as its not my area to work on and i was wondering why so many people registering at the forums.

im not gonna quit because of you, i never said i was. i said its people like you who make me want to. i spend hours on hours working on these things. i get a few good people who are nice and appreciate my effort and most are just using pricks who dont offer anything. all those people who said they would donate if i set something up.. where did those people go once i did set something up?

i get more critism then thanks as more and more people discover this program. i get a lot of stupid people like yourself who dont consider why things might be like that or dont bother to read the read me provided. i get the same bloody messages over and over again with the same errors.

and yeah i do have an anger problem.. with little pricks like yourself. most people im cool with but i have a problem with people who are so caught up in themself that the cant spare a thought for people who are offering things for others.

do we have advertising on the site? no. do i run around saying everyone come to the site? no. infact i dislike giving out the address to people. because the site is not ready and may never be but its all there is and there is **** all support from people like yourself in helping this community. this is a great program and unfortunately there are only a few people who give a crap about it and seeing it grow.

i hate this using society we live in. if you knew me you'd know once i finish my degree im spending my time helping the poor in china. because i hate people who do nothing but take. thats why i try to give to the community in what way i can. so i dont appreciate little ****s like you having a go saying stuff it "bull$hit"

i have no problem with people mirroring the program.. i only put it there to try and keep the constant questions of where it is from comming my way. ITS NOT MY PROGRAM PEOPLE when are you going to elarn this.. why dont people ever look at who its by. ask me for my themes.. thats my responsibility not the program.

i also find the users at this forum a lot less friendly then other forums. i have been at neowin for only 1 year but i check it most days and i really think its getting worse and worse. there isnt a community feel, its just a bunch of randoms. i still come here because there are a few good people still here but the numbers are decreasing.

    • AMD RX 9070 GRE AI, Blender benchmarks vs 9070 XT, 7800XT, Nvidia RTX 5070, 4070 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week, we shared the first part of our review of AMD's new RX 9070 GRE. It was about the gaming performance of the GPU, and we gave it an 8 out of 10. As a follow-up, similar to how we did with the 9070 XT and non-XT, we are doing a dedicated productivity review for the RX 9070 GRE as well, where we compare it against the 9070 XT, 9070, 7800 XT, as well as Nvidia's 5070 and 4070. This will include AI, rendering, compute, and more benchmarks. AI performance, especially, is a very important metric in today's world, and AMD also promised big improvements thanks to its underlying architectural improvements. We will be pitching it against the data we already have for the RX 9070, and RX 9070 XT, but also the Nvidia 5070 FE, MSI GeForce RTX 4070 VENTUS 2X 12G, and Gigabyte Radeon RX 7800 XT GAMING OC 16G as they are in a similar price class, but also because we do not have a comparable 5060 Ti card lying around here that we can compare it against. Before we get underway, this is a collaboration between Sayan Sen and Steven Parker, who lent me his test bed. Also, there was no editorial input from AMD. First up, the specs of the RX 9070, 9070 XT, and 9070 GRE, which were given to us by AMD: Radeon RX 9070 GRE Radeon RX 9070 Radeon RX 9070 XT Boost Clock: Game Clock: up to 2.79GHz up to 2.20GHz up to 2.52GHz up to 2.07GHz up to 2.97GHz up to 2.40GHz Stream Processors 3,072 (48 CU) 3,584 (56 CU) 4,096 (64 CU) Ray Accelerator 48 56 64 AI Accelerator 96 112 128 ROPs 96 128 Texture Mapping Units 192 224 256 Memory 12 GB GDDR6, 18Gbps Clock, 192-bit Bus 432 GB/s 16 GB GDDR6, 20Gbps Clock, 256-bit Bus Effective Memory Bandwidth: 640 GB/s Infinity Cache 48 MB (3rd Gen) 64 MB (3rd Gen) Card Bus PCI-E 5.0 X16 Output 2x HDMI 2.1b 2x DisplayPort 2.1a Power consumption 220W 304W Recommended PSU 650W 750W Slot width 2x 3x Price (SEP) $549 $599 As you can see from the specs above, it is less than the standard RX 9070 in every way that counts, except for slightly higher Boost and Game clock speed. Design Moving on, the RX 9070 GRE we were given is an XFX Swift triple-fan, dual-slot design with two 8-pin connectors. At 30cm (self-measured), it will fit in most systems easily. There is no RGB either. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE by XFX from all angles. Test system Our test system consists of the following: Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2 Flow (Amazon|Newegg) ASUS Z890 ProArt Creator WiFi (Amazon|Newegg) Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus (Amazon|Newegg) Thermal Grizzly KryoSheet - 44x37 (Amazon|Newegg) 2x 16GB G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB (7200 MT/s in XMP) (Amazon|Newegg) Sabrent Rocket4 Plus 2TB SSD (Amazon) Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200.8246) AMD shared a press driver based on the recently released Adrenaline 26.5.2 that we were required to use. We now move on to our benchmarks. First up, we have Geekbench AI running on ONNX. For some reason, the 9070 GRE does exceptionally well here in both half-precision (FP16) and single-precision (FP32). It manages to beat the RTX 5070 and RX 9070 non-XT, and is only behind the 9070 XT. Since Geekbench runs in short bursts instead of continuously hammering the graphics card, it seems the GRE's faster boost clocks are helping here. Next up, we move to the UL Procyon AI test suite, starting with the image generation benchmark. We chose the Stable Diffusion XL FP16 test since it is the most intense workload available on Procyon. The Nvidia cards do very well here, as even the 4070 out-muscles AMD's best fairy easily. The positive thing about the GRE is that it gets quite close to the 9070 non-XT in this test; this indicates that the VRAM does not play a very big role here, as SD XL relies on float16 (FP16). So this is something to keep in mind again. If you wish to work with float32 AI workloads, graphics cards with larger than 12 GB buffers would likely emerge as victors. Regardless, the gains are still massive on AMD's 9000 series compared to the 7000 series. Following image generation, we move to the text generation benchmark. This is one test where the 9070 GRE struggled, quite a lot. It seems that the 12 GB VRAM and lower memory bandwidth of the new Radeon 9070 GRE are hurting it quite a bit; the split is massive, especially in a test like Llama2, which packs 13 billion parameters. As such, in all the tests, the 9070 GRE is the slowest of the lot. Next, we tried Blender, and here the AMD GPUs were beaten by Nvidia. Rendering is something the Green team has always had a lead over the Red side, and it has not changed so far. On the positive side, though, the 9070 GRE shows significantly better results than the 7800 XT, which means AMD is on the right path. Catching up to Nvidia, though, will require a lot more effort. And we hope HIP and ROCm can keep improving. Wrapping up AI testing, we measured OpenCL throughput in the Geekbench compute benchmark. The RX 9070 GRE alongside the 9070 did not fare well here at all, even falling behind the 7800 XT. Interestingly, even the RTX 5070 could not beat the 4070 on OpenCL, so perhaps this suggests that OpenCL optimization may not have been a priority for either AMD or Nvidia in the modern era. Conclusion We reached the end of our productivity performance review of the 9070 GRE, and we have to say it's a mixed bag. Unlike the 9070 and 9070 XT, the GRE excels in some areas while losing ground fairly easily in others. Similar to how it happened in gaming, any time the card's memory subsystem gets hammered, it tends to fall behind the others. This was the case with text generation, wherein we saw the VRAM sometimes hit its maximum available 12 GB of usage with larger model sizes. So what do we make of the RX 9070 as a productivity hardware? It can certainly be used, but you have to know it has its limitations. For those looking for a GPU that can deal with more, AMD recently unveiled the Radeon AI PRO R9700, which is essentially a 32 GB refresh of the 9070 XT with some additional workstation-based optimizations. On a similar note, the new Ryzen AI Halo platform is something you can consider if you want to set up a local AI processing station. Considering everything, we rate AMD's Radeon RX 9070 GRE a 7.5 out of 10 for its productivity performance. Price is less of a factor for those looking at productivity cases compared to those considering the GPU for gaming, and as such, we felt it did quite decently on many occasions and can be handy if you need a 12 GB GPU and, for some reason, don't want to get Nvidia.
