The public beta release to my knowledge is the exact same build that was leaked so you can install it. Half of the people here are just waiting for the keys I think.

I really do hope that the servers start working again. Has anyone got to download it as yet? Legally - from the public beta build?

No one except the testers have the beta build so far.

For anyone else that has gotten the email for signing up for the beta, have you been able to confirm the email using the link? I keep getting Server too busy, so I am curious if it worked yet for anyone.

Hmmm right, so what is build 7016 going to be? Beta 2?

No it's start of RC/RTM branch if all goes to plan.

Microsoft, the company is significantly further on from build 7000, having posted 7016 internally recently. It's understood that the development has branched from 7003 onwards ready for the RC/RTM stages.

      It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
