My brain is a bit mush right now but I know I've encountered a couple of things on our home machines (2 desktops and 2 laptops) and then at the day job I've seen a good share oddities between two dozen laptops and the same amount of desktops. I can usually get whatever it is sorted out but...

Nice CPU for sure but I'll be waiting for one (either the 9950X3D2) or something else down the road to replace the 5800X3D in my spare rig and the main one with a 9800X3D is plenty for now. As always, thanks for the review!

Execs at Microsoft have been taking note that Windows 11 users have been unhappy with the wave after wave of buggy updates over the past year. See full article...

I don't remember in terms of raster but the RT and tensor cores for DLSS/DLAA and ray tracing are a definite improvement but otherwise closer to wash for raster or other features plus that 24 GB on the 7900 XTX is more than the 16 GB of the 5080. There might be some encoding advantages as well...

NVIDIA's flagship GPU isn't the only model seeing significant price hikes, as the RTX 5070 Ti is now far beyond MSRP. See full article...

Personally, I think it's just their name. It conjures up some half arsed corpo image out of a B-movie or sounds like the sound of when you are trying to cough up something. Never liked the name.

I've tried 2 Zotac (a 4090 and 5090) cards in recent years and both worked out for me but it took decades of folks that I personally know who had good experiences with them before I was willing to take that chance because I too felt there was something cheap about them. I will say the ones I got...

Yep and since it's not a consumer part manufactured quantities are limited to OEM/business channels which translates to a smaller volumes being available. I think is was ASRock, but someone recently announced their LGA 1700 boards will not support these (there was some speculation that if you...

To say that Intel is on the move is an understatement, given all the developments this week in its CPU and graphics divisions. See full article...

Another from bad to worse scenario is unraveling as Ubisoft shares plummeted by nearly 40% following its latest attempt to become fiscally sustainable. See full article...

I've got one of the boards mentioned, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPLQQ7VJ/?tag=thefpsreview-20, and now a little concerned. I knew I was taking a chance given ASUS's reputation with CPU voltages, but the specs and design for this one were exactly what I was looking for. I've got some fairly...
