We just picked up word that Corsair has launched a quiet flash sale on its direct to consumer website. We suspect that they’re trying to buff their end of quarter numbers a bit as it ends on Friday, March 31st 2023. Keep in mind that these are also affiliate links, so we’ll get a commission if...

I was talking with a rep from a different psu maker about this about a month back. It's a market preference thing - in the US, higher efficiency units typically don't sell as well compared to EU where energy is more expensive and there are efficiency related regulations. Same thing happens...

I don't expect it to be a domino sort of situation. SVB is fairly unique in that it primarily services businesses and a lot of them are in the startup/VC world. With interest rates going sky high and VCers tightening the purse strings, it appears their model did not account for a sustained cash...

This SVB failure is kind of a big deal... the payroll company that I use happened to use SVB, so now there's no more direct deposit functionality available until they get a new bank installed. I'll probably have to do paper checks for at least one payroll cycle if they don't fix it early next...

I think Brent commented on it in one of the 40 series articles that he's done. I haven't had a chance to tinker with it myself - I've got a couple other reviews to knock out in the pipeline at the moment in other departments...

Introduction On our test bench, today is the MSI GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G video card. It sits at the top of MSI’s 4090 product stack and has the same boost clocks as its air-cooled sister card. The key features of the MSI GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X 24G is the high factory...

Definitely maybe - our audience is primarily US based, so one of the factors we consider when selecting products to review is whether they are available for our readers to buy. If you look at availability of their current products on Newegg and Amazon, I do not see a single current gen product...

Welcome!

We’re starting to branch out in to some deal finding posts here, which of course, if you use our links to buy, we’ll potentially earn a commission for the sale. Corsair dropped an email in our box to let us know about their President’s day sale on a variety of their items. Of course, we […] See...

I'm still bitter about it's transition from EA downloader and being feature incomplete for.. well.. until well after its demise....

Introduction One of the last stops that we made at CES 2023 was to visit BIWIN’s suite to find out a bit more information about them and to finally sort out what the deal is with the Acer Predator and HP products that they have been selling in the US market. Of note, we’ve previously […] See...

That's a budget issue for us at this point. We are so far in the red that I'm not willing to spend more to purchase identical platforms - priority for spending is going to content/labor. Having identical test platforms is a future goal, just not feasible right now.

Recent example: Dying Light 2, a 1+ year old game, got a patch a few weeks ago that dropped about 10 fps on 4090s at 4K. These swings are not limited to new games/new drivers.

I would personally prefer they get the missing Windows 10 features (and ui fixes) ported to 11 before rgb support...

Methodology thing - stock temps are on auto fan, oc temps are at max fan.

A couple of the games in the line up (i.e. Dying Light 2) have had significant recent performance changes as a result of patching - that's a leading cause of making things less comparable. In general, the 4k numbers should be pretty close, but in some games, 1440p is very much CPU bound which...

On that lane of thought, make sure you've got ReBAR running - it's likely disabled by default in the BIOS.

I kind of want to turn this into an article for the front page when it's done...

We're down about 50% per page view compared to January of 2022.

I haven't read other reviews, but it sounds like they jacked memory speeds too high and were penalized by throwing errors that got ECC corrected...
