    ASUS Advises Users of AMD 800-Series Motherboards to Update BIOS as It Investigates Reports of Burnt Ryzen 7 9800X3D Processors

    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...

    The new year is off to a rough start for some after orders from Corsair, and now ZOTAC were cancelled and then re-upped at a higher price. See full article...

    Buckle up! Things just went from bad to much, much worse

    Wow, never even thought about that and you're totally spot on.

    Rustler (Grand Theft Horse) free on Epic Games Store until 1/29

    I just thought this looked interesting and kind of funny from its description. Graphics are not half bad either. "Grand Theft… Horse Rustler is an open-world, top-down action game paying tribute to the good old GTA style and gameplay, fusing it with a historically inaccurate medieval setting...

    Fable Reboot Is Set to Arrive in Autumn 2026, Continuing Its British-Humor-Styled Approach as a Fairytale, Not a Fantasy RPG

    So far I've got a good feeling about this one but we'll just have to wait and see. I only ever played the first, and didn't finish but that wasn't the game's fault. I had it on the original Xbox and was never that into playing things on it but I do remember enjoying it.

    Buckle up! Things just went from bad to much, much worse

    Hadn't heard about this yet but lines up with pretty much everything else. Yep, we're mostly screwed for 2026 and probably quite a bit beyond that.

    Core Ultra 9 270H 32GB RAM 1TB MSI laptop $899 - Get it while you still can!

    I'm sure someone out there already is. Almost posted a story on the weekend where some used-PC stores in Japan are offering better deals because inventory is getting low.

    NVIDIA Denies EOL Rumors for GeForce RTX 50 Series, Lays Blame on Memory Supply Shortages, While AMD Says It’s Working to Keep Its GPUs at MSRP

    There was a time I would've defended them on some level but not anymore. I am happy with my 5090s but do undervolt them and rarely see more than 350W getting used, usually in the 200s. I giggle a lot when playing games on the 9800X3D rig with one, because my total system draw is often in gaming...

    NVIDIA Denies EOL Rumors for GeForce RTX 50 Series, Lays Blame on Memory Supply Shortages, While AMD Says It’s Working to Keep Its GPUs at MSRP

    I saw this morning that now MLID is saying his sources are reporting that RTX 50 series is essentially dead in the water for the foreseeable future so that NV can focus on AI and that increased volume for the RTX 5060 8GB is also off the table for now. According to MLID NV is still shipping...

    Steam Machine Launch Could Be Imminent as Valve’s Upcoming Gaming PC Is a Top Prize in a Current Monthly Contest

    I was skeptical when they launched Aurora but now think its one of the best things ever for trainers.

    Sony and TCL Sign Agreement to Create a New Company That Will Carry On the BRAVIA Branding

    Just saw the other thread that was made. That one referenced TechPowerUp, which I did see and check out while researching this, but I sourced directly from Sony's PR and also included some info from Rtings.com regarding their recent testing of OLED panels. Just a heads up, and I think more than...

    Steam Machine Launch Could Be Imminent as Valve’s Upcoming Gaming PC Is a Top Prize in a Current Monthly Contest

    It's just that the newer trainers are designed to work with the app. They can be used offline but the app will link to them online so you don't have to download them. Meanwhile the older trainers are standalone installs w/ no support for the new app. They'd basically have to go back and re-work...

    Steam Machine Launch Could Be Imminent as Valve’s Upcoming Gaming PC Is a Top Prize in a Current Monthly Contest

    These days I just use their Aurora app, so much easier and it's able to retain trainer settings which is awesome. Only real drawback is it doesn't support a lot of games from before around 3-5 years ago which puts you back into having to download those trainers. Gameshark, good memories on PS1...
