  1. DOUGH Announces Spectrum ES07E2D, a 27-Inch OLED Monitor with Glossy QHD Panel and 240 Hz Refresh Rate

    They rebranded from Eve after their disastrous crowdfunding campaign for the 4K Eve Spectrum. Stay far, far away.
  2. AMD 10-Core/20-Thread Ryzen 7 7800X and 4-Core/8-Thread Ryzen 3 7300X "Fake" Benchmarks Spotted

    These results are intentionally falsified; you took the bait. :) https://chipsandcheese.com/2022/10/27/why-you-cant-trust-cpuid/
  3. GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS XTREME and MASTER Motherboards Used XMP 3.0 Overclock T-FORCE DELTA RGB DDR5 Memory to 7950 MHz

    It's mostly down to the memory die in this case. That particular Teamgroup memory is the newer SK Hynix A-die DDR5 - the kits have been trickling out for the last month or two, in low quantities. There are a few folks over at the Overclock.net forums who have been pushing these sticks into the...
  4. ASRock Announces Its First Gaming Monitors, including Phantom Gaming PG34WQ15R2B with Built-In Wi-Fi

    Phantom Gaming (PG) 34" (34) Wide Quad HD (WQ) 1500R (15R) 2022 (2) Black (B). Honestly, it's miles better than Acer.
  5. PlayStation May Release Its Own PC Launcher, according to Files Found in Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered

    They\'ll probably combine their existing Remote Play PC program with a PSN launcher/storefront client. Most people don\'t know that they can already stream PS4/PS5 games to their PC over a local network using that software. Let\'s hope they bring more features to PSN, since it\'s kind of getting...
  6. Diablo Immortal Player Spends over $15,000 to Obtain 5-Star Legendary Gem

    He already intentionally deleted his account, immediately after the gem dropped for him (admittedly, an amusing turn). The only reason for the streaming stunt was to see how long it took, and at what cost. While giving Blizzard even more money. That'll show 'em.
  7. Intel Arc Alchemist Desktop Graphics Card Lineup Rumored to Comprise At Least Seven Models

    Arc A770 has been floating around since at least last August. Not that it matters, since probably won't hit shelves until the heat death of the universe.
  8. Hideo Kojima Apologizes for Tweeting PlayStation Studios Banner, Promises That Kojima Productions Will Remain Independent

    It can be both. Remember aaalll the way back in January? "SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC (“SIE”) announced today that it has entered into definitive agreements to acquire Bungie, Inc. (“Bungie”), a premier independent videogame developer and long-time...
  9. Forspoken Loads in Less than Two Seconds on M.2 SSDs Thanks to DirectStorage

    They did post comparisons with and without DirectStorage. Not a big difference, but measurable. The bottleneck seems to be the decompression stage, at least in their specific workflow. Lots more in the Youtube video.
  10. AMD Confirms Ryzen 7 5800X3D Doesn’t Support Overclocking

    It's worth noting that while PBO is an important part of being able to get the most out of a Zen 2/3 CPU (particularly with curve optimizer tweaking), AMD also officially considers PBO overclocking. As such it's likely that neither manual overclocking or PBO will be supported with this 5800X3D...
  11. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chernobyl Will Feature NFTs, including One That Turns Its Owner Into an NPC

    They've already backtracked on it, thankfully. https://kotaku.com/s-t-a-l-k-e-r-2-developers-remove-nfts-after-fan-uproa-1848230588
  12. BIOSTAR Z590I VALKYRIE Motherboard Review

    PC Chips merged with ECS, who still does ODM work. I think their last notable consumer board was NZXT's Z370.
  13. SSD Storage Review Format and Methodology

    Choosing to intentionally test drives via the second, chipset-connected slot is a very strange decision, given the compatibility issues that have popped up with drives like the (now resolved) WD SN850 and those which use certain SMI controllers (SM2262/EN, etc). There is also additional command...
  14. NVIDIA DLSS and Ray Tracing Upgrade Available Now for DOOM Eternal

    It doesn't need to enhance your life, it just has to make a game a bit better than it otherwise was. This update does indeed make for a better experience. It's a situation with essentially no downside. Is the game great without the update? Of course! But I'm playing through it again now, and it...
  15. Windows 11 Will Introduce a Dynamic Refresh Rate Option for the Desktop

    This feature is stated as exclusive to laptop displays; just wanted to point that out as "desktop" was mentioned a few times in the post.
  16. MSI Relaunches GeForce GT 730 Graphics Card with Kepler Architecture

    On a related note, support for GPUs of this generation will soon end, as of the 470.xx release. Great timing.

    They are dual rank. These kits are all based on 8Gbit Samsung B-Die.
  18. GALAX Threatens to Void SSD Warranties Due to Chia Cryptocurrency Mining

    If a warranty is five years or 1200TBW, a user can do whatever they **** well please within those parameters. If a drive fails at 1100TBW, it shouldn't matter if it did so in two weeks or two years, and whether it's from Chia plotting, automated hourly full drive database backups or obsessively...
  19. Iceberg Thermal IceSLEET X6 Air Cooler Review

    Would be interesting to see a cooler roundup which includes some other budget go-to models, like the Vetroo V5, Reeven Hans or ID Cooling SE-224, especially since a lot of people are building up "good enough" mATX or ITX rigs using chips like the i5-10400/11400, i5-10600/11600 or Ryzen 5600X...
