Introduction 2025 is ending, and it’s time to take a quick look back at the most interesting or best hardware launched in 2025 that we have reviewed. 2025 started off with the excitement of new GPU launches from NVIDIA (GeForce RTX 50 Series Blackwell GPUs) and AMD (AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series...

Here you go:

The potential gain I see would be if the game misfires and runs off the CCD without cache, then this would fix any game misfiring off the wrong CCD at least. It's why people love the 9800X3D; they are guaranteed to always get the X3D benefits, no chance of hitting the wrong CCD.

Along with the safety margin issue, the power is also not evenly distrubted amongst the wires, so it's unbalanced, and can create too much load on one wire, basically. It's a flawed system.

I wouldn't call it user error, because if the PSU wasn't powerful enough to handle it, then it should underperform, or cause the PSU to shut down and turn the computer off. It shouldn't kill the card, if something isn't enough power, then it should just not work, or cause instability. That...

Introduction The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 launched in March of 2025 with an MSRP of $549, and represents the fourth-highest video card in NVIDIA’s Blackwell GeForce RTX 50 Series lineup for 2025. The GeForce RTX 5070 follows in the footsteps of the GeForce RTX 5080 and GeForce RTX 5090 with an...

Crazy isn't it. I hear it's for multiple reasons: Demand from AI centers, movement to HBM, which uses stacked chips that eat up production, companies stockpiling RAM in warehouses, a shortage of production, and tariffs taking effect; it all adds up to a perfect storm of pricing. I hear it is...

Scrap the connector, go back to the drawing board. This design should have never passed PCI SIG.
