Let's display a POSITIVE percentage value to indicate that the NEW driver is SLOWER than the OLD driver. Nucking Futs.

Given that very carefully crafted reply to your question, I think AMD has discontinued manufacturing of the card and what is currently in the retail channel is all that is left.

What a terrible chart design. I thought the X's represented what was going to be supported, but no, the blank boxes and circles do according to the legend. At least the M.2 slot will support Gen4 on my board. Makes more sense than the GPU slot. Yup, I thought AMD was dictating to OEMs that...

Isn't this really just a simple case of the UEFI/BIOS already being sort of near the 16 MB flash memory size and adding a few more CPUs pushed it over 16 MB? Some MB manufacturers were caught because they did not choose to use 32 MB flash chips to hold the BIOS. I mean, if BIOS flash memory...

In the old days of cable TV, there were bundles. You could not get your favorite station without getting other, useless stations that you never watch, but paid for. In the new days of streaming services, there are studio-divided service subscriptions. You cannot get your favorite shows without...

The Asus Crosshair VII Hero (wifi) uses a 32 MB EEPROM. It's one of the few X470 boards that does from what I recall. The last couple of BIOSes released for it have been 32 MB in size, whereas the older releases were 16 MB.

Translation: We finally relented and are slowly switching to a scissor keyboard even though we don't want to and think butterfly keyboards are more Apple-like and we hate to admit when we are wrong, but we can't seem to figure out how to make butterfly designs work as well as scissor designs...

3rd party sellers need to be held accountable for defective goods. Amazon is just the storefront, IMO, so the liability should not stop with them. We need to stop 3rd party sellers from selling total garbage to consumers that have no recourse when the product is defective or just total junk...

Tiny tiny tubes for water cooling. Just don't use a cooling liquid with any coloring crap in it that will clog in 6 months minutes.

It's probably to make it more difficult to steal. Granted, some stores have their CPUs behind locked glass, but for the ones that don't, it's harder to stuff a large box in your bulky pants or shirt than a deck of cards-sized box.

Great review, Brent. The biggest takeway for me is the consistent jump in performance of the RTX 2060 to RTX 2060 Super. For an extra $50 ($349 -> $399), the uplift seems worth it and people should save an extra $50 even if it take a couple extra weeks to get the RTX 2060 Super instead of the...

FTFY

That's why I'm not buying into RTX anytime soon.

As I understood it, the thought process was that those speeds were considered "somewhat easily attainable" XMP memory speed choices for each platform. I don't know how close to reality those speeds actually were for the enthusiast segment of the market, however (ie. the most common memory speed...

I have a feeling that many people are going to lose interest in switching from a previous generation AMD system or purchasing a new AMD system once they see the prices of X570 motherboards.

Same here. Played the free game to the end and enjoyed it a lot. Bought Forsaken and I think the annual pass. But I have not played recently. Too busy with other stuff.

They should have just included the stand and made the monitor $6K. The people that are in the market for these things wouldn't have cared or noticed.

When there is a artistic shroud covering the "heat sink" (I'm using quotes here because these things are not really heat sinks in the traditional sense) and it blocks air flow, it is a problem. When the "heat sink" is this semi-mono-block looking thing with 2mm "fins" and no functional way to...

I am hoping that manufacturers find a way to redesign the cooling of the X570 chipset so that a fan is not required. It looks like so far only Gigabyte managed to eliminate the fan on the Aorus Extreme. I think eliminating the fan and having a reliable and functional cooling solution should...

I am super pleased to see you guys still working to bring reviews and editorial content to a new website. @Dan_D, your viewpoints on hardware seem to closely mimic mine and I always look forward to reading your reviews and posts in the forum.
