Microsoft issues emergency fix for gaming performance issues in Windows 10

They just disable the update that caused the issue

I just checked, and that 1330 update is still on my rig, so does this mean it has been disabled from their end, or is there going to be an auto rollout via KIR, that will actually remove/disable that update?

Not sure but it does take 24 hours for MS to roll it out. You can also manually update it but it doesn't really matter unless you are noticing performance dips with stuttering.

You would think but I am willing to bet that majority of the capacity will go to Consoles instead and RDNA 2 for PC will still get a very small allocation. If anything, we will need to wait until the consoles are in stock or RDNA 3 for AMD PC cards to get a good increase in capacity. But here's hoping that's not the case. The sooner the stock comes back, the sooner PC gaming can go back to normal.

I'm not sure if that's wise for AMD to put nearly all their eggs into the console basket. Based on previous history of their high end being meh worthy, in a time like this, letting nvidia struggle would have been a good attempt at trying to take back some of the market, rather than ending up exactly like Nvidia, where their PC hw side suffers and doesn't climb back as much.

I dunno, their current lineup is still meh to me, but the whole "consoles first, PC second" mantra is something I disagree with, because it tells me that they aren't as willing to really give us what we want in the end, if at all in the future, especially with how slow they are with the features Nvidia has, is also making and the fact they are behind on RT. Putting more focus on console hw over PC and features is just poor form, imo (apart from wanting a Ryzen CPU, they aren't really telling me that they want my money).

Yea pretty much. I think because of how competitive Nvidia's pricing is and the fact that Samsung's node is quite a bit cheaper, AMD is not making much money from their PC GPU side compared to Consoles and CPUs. We have seen the huge difference between AIB pricing and MSRP even before it got really terrible and it was supposedly due to AMD charging AIBs more than they were supposed to. Not to mention, we had that whole nonsense where AMD was going to stop selling their founders edition which were the only cards that were able to achieve MSRP before the backlash. Where as on Nvidia's side, you had a number of cards that were close to MSRP before it became a super shit show thanks to Crypto and Tariffs on top of scalpers.

So all in all, I doubt we will see RDNA 2 supply for a while. We have seen the crazy stats when it comes to Nvidia shipping 3-4 times more GPUs than AMD has. RDNA 3 will be in a smaller node so in theory, the supply for next generation of GPUs should be much better.

And yea, Nvidia is bringing true innovation to the PC gaming GPUs where as AMD is just focusing on catching up while duct taping Ray Tracing to their GPUs.
