The one thing I noticed, the guy looks to be using a gen1 HPWR connector. Even Corsair says with this new gpu generation, you should make sure you have gen2 connectors. They (Corsair) sell both native and 8pin gen2 connectors for their psus for 20 dollars.

Oh my goodness....So far my 4090 is ok for what I need, I may just sit this one out. I hate those 12V-2x6 connectors. Bad idea and just not consistant quality. For over 2K I would hope for better.

I remember flashing the HD6700 to a HD6900. seemed it allowed an increase in VCore and boosted the clocks a little. Never liked to do it for fear of bricking the card and at that point in time it was a little bit complicated. I think I did one card and called it a day. Given the cost and...

Introduction In mid-January 2025, MSI introduced its latest addition to AMD socket AM5 motherboards. We have the brand-new MSI MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WiFi for review and evaluation with a current MSI store pricing of $319.99. We very recently reviewed the MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WiFi. You will find as...

AMD has outright said the future is AI, something Nvidia is way in front of. Gaming GPUs are going to be few and far between soon. Neither company honestly give a rat's behind......it's almost a halo product category. Console chips, I bet there is still a pretty good chunk of AMDs income...

I dont think thats a fair assumption. You cant base your purchase on rumors. I dont care if the two cards cost the same. The new AMD cards are very good and the nvidia cards at the low end arent. About all nvidia has is the improvement in DLSS and everybody has big hate for that, instead of...

I agree. Now that the 9070XT is out, the choice is obvious, especially if you dont care about ray tracing. But....thats the deal and it is the pinnacle of graphics in the right games. What we dont talk much about though is turning on DLSS4 and jacking up FrameGen to 4x. That is the game...

You should run the Half-Life 2 RTX demo and then tell me how you feel. Seeing a 20 year old game look entirely new is pretty amazing.

I was very impressed with the Sapphire 9070XT. The build quality is top notch and innovative. It ran so quiet. Also is pretty strong in every game at 1440p. Ray Tracing is still a little weak but AMD is inching closer......they need to fix that and then they will own the 600-1000 dollar GPU...

Last night my game froze ALOT. I was using 572.70 driver. So this morning realized there was a new driver.....played this AM smooth as silk. Using RTX 4090 with an AMD 5800X3D. I have settings at Ultra, DLSS Quality at 4K. The game looks amazing. It looks like a recent release or compared...

Hahaha....twice as many as not very many is ......well.....a low number. Nothing on the shelf and $7000 for a 5090 on eBay.....come on.
