Whether you genuinely believe what you’re saying, or are just trolling, you’ve managed to nerd snipe me.
Such an accusation isn’t a good start if you want to have an actual discussion. Besides, I don’t see anything in my comment that could be interpreted as trolling.
AMD: has AMD Relive, which, last I checked is a team red solution with near feature parity to shadowplay
Not on Linux. AMD drivers are part of the kernel and there’s no additional bloated driver software like you see it under Windows.
And in this hypothetical situation where that’s the only use of this drive, it’d still take a little under 8 years to reach the TBW warranty rating that most (trusted) 500GB SSDs currently have.
Which just proves my point. But I guess you all swap out your hardware every 2 years or so. That’s cool for you rich people I guess but as a poor person I typically try to preserve and keep my hardware for as long as I can. I think the major fallacy for you guys here is that you just look at this one dataset, as if that’s the only thing that would go on in your system. Especially under Windows you’d obviously see a lot more activity but the point works generally in that I’m not going to use unnecessary crap that wears down my very expensive hardware for gimmicky features that I maybe could use once every 5 years or so, assuming I wouldn’t just forget about it anyway.

I worded this more strongly than I intended to. This was meant to come across more lightheartedly and joking than the opening to my original message. I apologize for this, sincerely.

Again, like I said on the line underneath that, while not perfect, GPUScreenRecorder exists for Linux and works well, despite being less fully featured. And although I didnt include it in the previous message, it supports Nvidia, AMD, and Intel GPUs.
I’m not sure that it does given that I provided a pretty ridiculous hypothetical that still results in an 8 year period at minimum before reaching the warrantied write count. The drive could fail before then, or it could fail after, but the point was that it’ll still likely exceed the recommended replacement period for a spinning HDD (3-5 years).

Please dont make this out like I’m rich and can afford to just throw away hardware. If one of my drives fails, I can’t afford to replace it right now. But also, I havent needed to replace an SSD that wasnt faulty due to a manufacturing issue, either in my own system or in any of the hundreds or possibly thousands of computers at this point that I have installed SSDs in for work. The shit SSDs will die within a year or two, but thats usually due to having faulty controllers and is unavoidable, and the faulty SSDs (like the first batch of Samsung 870s) are, well, faulty.
I think the major fallacy for you guys here is that you just look at this one dataset, as if that’s the only thing that would go on in your system.
I’m not sure what “one dataset” I provided but I’m more than happy to provide more :)

Okay then, like I said at the end of the last post, just turn the feature offdont turn the feature onwhen it’s released. My point isn’t that you personally need to use this feature, but rather that your SSD lifespan fears are outdated. You’re more than welcome to use your hardware however you like, I was never intending to change that :)
