I count myself lucky and bit the bullet in upgrading one of my setups to DDR5/AM5 last spring through some careful shopping which had enough discounts involved to basically be MSRP or lower for nearly all parts. I still ended up dropping a lot of dough for everything but it was before things...

It’s been ten years since the launch of the GTX 10-series line of NVIDIA graphics cards, which saw the release of the famous GTX 1080 Ti. Considered by many to be the GOAT (although the GTX 980 Ti deserves honorable mention), the GTX 1080 Ti brought powerful rasterized performance to a new level...

It’s been discovered that Google Chrome may be consuming more than just system memory, as a 4 GB AI model was found downloaded to a user’s PC. It seems that we can never have enough AI in our lives these days, and Google wants to ensure that everyone who can run it locally has it […] See full...

I'm certainly hoping they do. It's not a product I have any interest in but I'm so sick of their crap.

Except for Intel commercial cards like these. I seem to remember us running some stories on them back in the fall or last summer but there are some partner cards running 2x GPUs, but they are not gaming cards.

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick was straight to the point in explaining why Grand Theft Auto VI will not be on PC when it launches. Assuming that another delay doesn’t come into play, GTA 6 is expected to launch on November 19, 2026. Now, while there had been hopes it would arrive for PC and...

The Steam Controller has launched and is already sold out, with Valve working to get more back in stock. One might think that a $99 controller wouldn’t sell quickly, but it didn’t stop a frantic buying period that saw Valve’s payment system crash during its launch. It only took 30 minutes for it...

Hard to say at this point. I remember hearing it was most finished about a year ago but still had some rough edges but then the drama between devs and the publisher kicked in and its anybody's guess what work was completed after that but I do know a lot of folks are looking forward to it.

Intel’s recent Big Battlemage GPU launch has now been tested in a handful of games, where it is essentially trading blows with NVIDIA’s mid-tier offering. Now, while Intel’s drivers do enable the Arc Pro B70 to play games, it should first be understood that the card, with a BMG-31 GPU paired...

A new report has indicated that each of the three big memory chip manufacturers has begun ramping up its development of DDR6. According to The Elec (via TechPowerUp), Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron are all working with JDEC on the next standard, which could see speeds as high as 17,600 MT/s or...

They are looking into do this. Pretty sure I did a post on it last month but may have just put a link in another thread regarding Steam/Valve. On the flipside, I've been using NVIDIA GPUs for over a decade, and AMD CPU/NV GPU combo for almost a decade, and don't remember ever getting a survey...

Windows 11 users are now being advised that 32 GB of system memory is the sweet spot for optimal performance. Many within the PC enthusiast community have configured their builds with 32 GB of memory for over a decade now, so it has been expected that the new recommendation was forthcoming...

It’s been a long road for developer Unknown Worlds in getting Subnautica 2 out the door, but that destination is almost here. An unexpected drama unfolded last year when the previous publisher, Krafton, fired Unknown Worlds’ co-founders and technical director, accusing them of an “absence of...

The world must be turning upside down since Microsoft is giving users unprecedented control over Windows 11 updates. To say that Windows 11 users have had a rough time of it over the last six months would be an understatement. Since Windows 10 was deprecated in October, users have seen one...
