  1. CrowdStrike Explains What Led to Last Week’s Global Tech Outage

    As someone that manages 1000's of VM's we don't use a single product with forced updates. Every update provided to us goes through our own QC processes in a non-production environment. We've passed on a lot of good software due to forced updates. Any company or IT department that uses products...
  2. NVIDIA TITAN AI “Blackwell” GPU in Development with 63% Faster Performance vs. GeForce RTX 4090, Leakers Say

    that was $2500 in 2018. I'm betting this new one will be closer to $5000.
  3. ASRock Launches AMD Radeon RX 7900 Creator Series Graphics Cards with Blower Fan

    There's nothing wrong with blower fans, from a performance perspective. They exhaust the heat out of the case, which is ideal. The tradeoff is noise.
  4. Corsair Launches TC500 LUXE Flagship Gaming Chair with Quilted Seat and Built-In Lumbar Support

    Made from the finest PU leather and hardest, most uncomfortable foam known to man.
  5. AMD Places above Intel in List of 2024’s Most Valuable Brands

    Intel doesn't give a crap about consumer products, whether they are better or worse by a few percentage points. Their bread and butter is datacenter where they rule the roost. AMD may even have a better datacenter product with Epyc, but most DC's won't make the switch as it's too costly in time...
  6. Corsair Launches RS Series High-Performance Daisy-Chain PWM Fans in Non-RGB and ARGB Options

    $20 for a linkable fan isn't a bad deal. Considering other brands go for $30-50 per fan.
  7. Phanteks Releases NV5 MKII Mid-Tower Case with Near-Seamless Glass Panel and Support for BTF/Project Zero Motherboards

    My issue with cases like this, and GN has covered it, is the lack of airflow across the motherboard. And if you don't have top fans the GPU creates a lot of stagnant heat right over the CPU.
  8. Intel Arc Xe2 Battlemage Discrete GPUs Will Reportedly Be Built Using TSMC’s 4nm Process

    Their cards are already a solid value for low cost. The 770 is beating cards that cost $100 more. Took them a bit to get the drivers right, and they get better all the time. Really interested to what the 980 Battlemage can do. If they can keep it $400 or less for 4070 levels of performance...
  9. GTA V Developer Claims That DLC Was Scrapped Due to the Overwhelming Success of GTA Online

    I think what they meant to say is that they stopped creation of DLC due to there being so much better community created content.
  10. An AMD Merger Deal with NVIDIA Fell Through Because CEO Jensen Huang Wanted to Stay in Charge, according to an Insider

    His engineers took it to the top. He just sits and takes all the credit. Having the right employees makes all the difference. The guy at the top isn't responsible for that. He didn't even hire the person that hired the person that hired the person that hired the engineers.
  11. PlayStation’s Lead Designer Is “Very Surprised” by the Popularity of Ray Tracing and How Gamers Prefer Higher Frame Rates

    CRT's weren't as susceptible to motion blur. At least not the higher end ones. Very smooth at lower frame rates. LCD's are the exact opposite. You need to drive high frame rates or anything fast motion looks like a blurry mess. I remember going from a Sony CRT to my first LCD and thinking I...
  12. SpaceX Awarded the Contract to Help Crash the International Space Station into the Sea

    Problem is that everything on it is old. All the systems are old and well past their expected life. It needs a complete overhaul, and that's easier said than done in space. Much easier to build something new, launch the pieces and assemble it in space than it is to design new everything for the...
  13. SpaceX Awarded the Contract to Help Crash the International Space Station into the Sea

    It's old, constantly needing repairs, and is just small for what can be built with current technology. SpaceX will probably have a new one built in 3 months at 1/5 the cost. LOL
  14. SpaceX Awarded the Contract to Help Crash the International Space Station into the Sea

    It's all extremely thin, light weight material with zero reentry shielding. I'm sure some of it will make it to the water, just not much of it.

    The majority of it will burn up on reentry.
  16. KINGPIN Might Partner with PNY for Custom Overclocked NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series Graphics Cards

    The Kingpin products will be halo as they always have been with EVGA. The guy does some good work. Glad to see him land with another company.
  17. Ryzen 7800X3D “Zen 4” CPU Beats Ryzen 9700X “Zen 5” in Gaming, AMD Says

    The only downside to going 5000 series Ryzen on X470 is you are stuck with PCIe 3.0. That'll suck for modern GPU's.
  18. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Reveals 310 GB Install Size

    I'm betting it's close to 300 GB, just as I stated. I currently have MW3 multiplayer and campaign installed at 187 GB. Warzone is another 60-70 GB if I installed it.
