  1. ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 LC Graphics Card Spotted with Extra ROPs Enabled Showing up to 8% Increased Performance

    In fairness to Peter, the TPU post didn't initially have the disclaimer at the bottom. It was added later in the day. ;)
  2. World’s Fastest Gaming CPU Could Be Holding Back the NVIDIA RTX 5090 at 4K

    Small correction: TechSpot/HUB tested Spider-Man, not Spider-Man 2. ;)
  3. Gordon Mah Ung, PCWorld Editor, Host of The Full Nerd, and Renowned Tech Journalist, Has Passed On at the Age 58

    This was such extremely sad news; Gordon was a legitimate trailblazer within the technology news and reporting space. As someone with their fair share of graying hair follicles, I've followed him since his days at boot magazine, but Maximum PC is where he really let himself stretch his...
  4. OMEGA PHENEX COMMENCED PROJECT SIX Is an Indie Mech Game with Strong Armored Core Vibes in Development for PC

    Oh, heck yes. While we're at it, can we also get a Heavy Gear III?
  5. PlayStation Games Coming to PC on Day One Is Inevitable, Players Say as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Ends PS5 Exclusivity Just 468 Days After Release

    Death Stranding (PS4): November 8th, 2019. PC version came out on July 14th, 2020. A gap of 248 days. The Last of Us was initially released in 2014, so it's a bit cheeky to use the 2023 PS5 remaster as a debut date.
  6. Piracy Causes a 20% Drop in Game Revenue, Denuvo DRM Research Finds

    Chocolate is good for you, finds Hershey's study.
  7. MSI DATAMAG 20Gbps Magnetic Portable SSD Review

    I will assume that these drives will be priced at either $21.99 or $18,346.75.
  8. Xbox Dominates Controller Use on Steam, Valve Reveals

    Precisely this, for me. 90% of my time is spent with a mouse and keyboard, but for some games, a gamepad is better suited. In titles like Cocoon, Hades, Death's Door or Tunic, the twin stick layout and analog movement control simply feels better. Dave the Diver and Dredge were fun with a...
  9. AMD 3D V-Cache Optimizer Driver Gets Updated Ahead of Ryzen 9000X3D Series Launch

    For anyone else looking, AMD pulled the direct link cited in the post. TechPowerUp has it mirrored, though. https://www.techpowerup.com/download/amd-ryzen-chipset-drivers/ Edit: Went back and checked, they just don't allow it to be hotlinked, is all. It can be downloaded from their support...
  10. PSA: GOG Will Begin Deleting Cloud Saves That Exceed 200 MB per Game in August

    You can see what's being used for your Steam cloud saves by going to this link: https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage Most games don't lean too hard to save file sizes, but there are always a few surprises here and there. The largest entry in my own library is Death Stranding...
  11. Deliver Us Mars Dev Lays Off Entire Team, Announces Kickstarter for Next Game

    I really enjoyed Deliver us the Moon. The sequel just didn't have the same atmosphere, no puns intended. Losing the sense of isolation changed the mood drastically. Technical limitations (character models and animations, for instance) also brought scrutiny that was effectively sidestepped in the...
  12. Intel Graphics Driver 31.0.101.5333 Delivers Up to 155% FPS Uplift for Select DirectX 11 Titles

    It's worth noting that the increases detailed in the release notes are specific to the Meteor Lake laptop series integrated GPUs, not desktop Arc A- series GPUs. Still, good to see continued progress!
  13. CableMod 12VHPWR Angled Adapters Officially Recalled for Overheating and Melting GPUs: “At Least $74,500 in Property Damage Claims”

    "If the adapter will not disengage from the GPU using reasonable force, the angled adapter may have failed. Please contact customer service for assistance.

  14. New Patriot Viper PV553 M.2 2280 PCIe Gen5 x4 SSD Is Capable of Sequential Read/Write Speeds Up to 12,400 MB/s, 11,800 MB/s

    I love how they took the reference Phison heatsink and thought to themselves "what if we wrap a cosmetic insulating layer around it."
