That's something I'm considering but hoping I don't need to do. Between the undervolted 5090 settings I'm using, and 9800X3D, my current system TDP usually hangs around 300-500W during heavy gaming and I'm using an ITX 1000W 80+ Platinum but I've been keeping an eye on the 1200-1300 versions...
I'll be happy with a 16 core X3D part. Ought to be good enough for me to ride off into the sunset with as I can't imagine needing to replace something like that for around a decade and by that time I might not even care.
I'll never forget my one-time monster build back in the day and I've mentioned it here more than a few times in other threads. It had a GIGABYTE UD3 X79 (1.1)motherboard and 4930K that I got both for ~$400 during a BF deal. Neither the best for overclocking but managed to hit 4.3 GHz on air (I...
We did run a story about Lossless Scaling a while back, but I didn't see any mention in it about how it also supports using a 2nd GPU to offload certain tasks to.
Definitely not SLI, but it reminds me more of the days when you could dedicate PhysX (when it still mattered) to a GPU. I saw this...
There's still no official word from AMD regarding its Zen 6 desktop lineup, so rumors continue to circulate suggesting a wide range of configurations.

I've always been in the middle with it. Never played the original trilogy but did finish the first that was set in Norse mythology and haven't gotten Ragnarok despite hearing many great things about it.
A lot is going on for the God of War franchise, with multiple projects in the works, including remakes, new titles, and a streaming series.

I agree but this is also probably just the natural end to the cycle for this circumstance. I'm more curious how the selloff may have impacted Arm's share price. My bet is that NV is simply planning on a day when it won't need Arm's designs and no longer needs any investment or partnerships at...
I'm nearing being on a fixed income, 10 years or less depending on how my health goes (nobody should worry, diet and exercise in play already, just tired though) and also wondering if I'm getting to the end of the line for a new rig. I purposely built my AM5 system so I can move up from the...
The battle for NVIDIA to buy out Arm has officially reached its end as the GPU manufacturer has sold the last of its holdings in the company.

Lol! I saw a story this morning where one of these literally shattered the GPU during testing. Admittedly didn't read it but saw the pic of the physically broken die.
I have to wonder when it comes to any new hardware how much consideration a company will go through when weighing the idea of trying to launch in 2026. Should they hold off or risk investing in producing products which might completely flop due to prices being so high nobody will buy them? For...
Totally agree, except who knows what price it will be at given the same problems with the memory shortage. Not sure how many are going to be willing to pay $1K plus for such a device and I really doubt it'll be any cheaper with whats going on. We're already starting to see gaming handhelds...
I recommend folks click on the link I put in the post going to Nokia's page regarding it's licensing. Basically the Nokia most of us know (cameras and copiers - they still make those) has transformed itself over the last 20 years and heavily expanded into video codecs. I had no clue until this...
