  1. Blizzard Facing Boycott Campaign After Banning Player Who Voiced Support for HK Protests

    My issue is using a video game tournament as his platform without consent and expressly against the terms. Disregarding the rights of others and breaking rules you agreed to because the government is trying to do the same thing to you doesn't make it right. And dragging Blizzard into this...
  2. Blizzard Facing Boycott Campaign After Banning Player Who Voiced Support for HK Protests

    Personally I think Blizzard was in the right according to their rules. The rule is specifically to avoid drama like this. The player knew exactly what he was doing. 'I know what my action on stream means. It could cause me lot of trouble, even my personal safety in real life. But I think it’s...
  3. DOOM Eternal Won't Have Deathmatch Because Modern Gamers Can't Handle Losing

    whatever... I think that's a lame reason. Even games like battlefield have deathmatch. It doesn't mean you can't also make a team mode(s) that plays substantially differently.
  4. Here Is How AMD’s B550 Chipset Differs from X570

    Is there any confirmation on whether the first pcie slot and m.2 slot on the b550 motherboards will still be pcie 4 even if the chipset is not? Seems like if AMD nearly offered it on existing ryzen boards there's no reason the new b550 boards can't be designed for this functionality. Or for...
  5. Samsung’s New PCIe 4.0 SSDs, Which Top Out at 30 TB and 8,000 MB/s, “Never Die”

    Those are incredible specs. I'm curious about the never dying tech. Obviously it'll have limits but I'm not sure how it differs from what is currently is done. Does it have the potential to make QLC drives have more usable endurance?
  6. Editorial: Boostgate: AMD’s Boost Clock Controversy

    I don't think that's the case on the intel front. Look at this processor https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/196449/intel-core-i7-10510u-processor-8m-cache-up-to-4-80-ghz.html The base clock is 1.8 GHz and the turbo is 4.9 GHz. Turbo is not a nice to have. This processor's...
  7. Editorial: Boostgate: AMD’s Boost Clock Controversy

    I think people have a legitimate case for false advertising. I'm super impressed with what AMD has accomplished and I really want them to be successful, but if you advertise single core boost speeds and can't hit them that's false advertising. If you can't sustain them with the provided cooler...
  8. Apex Legends Project Lead Calls Gamers "Dicks," “***-Hats,” and “Freeloaders”

    The dev is probably pretty spot on, but needs to settle down as the frustration is obviously showing through.
  9. AMD Completes 7 Nm+ Zen 3 for Potential 2020 Release, Zen 4 on Track for 2021

    Well it is :), just saying I can't find anything talking about IPC, sockets, memory speeds, core counts, pci-e versions etc. It's supposedly taped out so you'd think this information would be available somewhere.
  10. AMD Completes 7 Nm+ Zen 3 for Potential 2020 Release, Zen 4 on Track for 2021

    AFAIK the only thing we know about Zen 3 is 'Continuous Performance-Per-Watt Gains'. Pretty vague. Hopefully it's more interesting than that.
  11. AMD's Latest AGESA Update Removes PCIe 4.0 Support on Pre-X570 Motherboards

    I'm pretty sure AMD wouldn't have planned it and let the public know and then had to back out and scrap the whole thing if there wasn't a good reason. It would have been marketing gold had it succeeded and nobody wants to have an embarrassing pull back situation like this. Doesn't really...
  12. Huawei Announces Open-Source Android Replacement HarmonyOS

    Any idea if HarmonyOS is just a tweaked version of the AOSP for their phones? Or is it actually something different?
  13. AMD Reportedly Prepping High-End Navi GPU Referred to Internally as “The NVIDIA Killer”

    Exactly what I was thinking. Nvidia should be getting a 20%-30% minimum performance increase next year. The new AMD cards will have to significantly faster than the 5700XT just to keep up, nevermind threaten the new high-end.
  14. Unreal Tournament Is Dead Because Epic Games "Doesn’t Know How to Finish It"

    Not surprised really. I think there a lot of industry fatigue. How many call of duties, battlefields, etc. Add UT, Doom, Quake, etc. It's not always that the games aren't good, they just aren't that new and different. Fortnite get's a lot of things right. It's fast paced, team and solo...
  15. Paradox Interactive Calls Steam’s 70/30 Revenue Split “Outrageous”

    I use steam, origin, uplay, battle.net, epic. It's alot and annoying. The launchers don't coordinate so they can be updating while you are playing a game on another service. Or all updating together or whatever. Steam annoys me with their seemingly endless client updates. Any more than one...
  16. Quake II RTX Performance Review

    Quake 2 was a lot of fun that's for sure. I think it's a good and bad comparison for RTX though. Modern games use other lighting techniques to simulate many of the things RTX does so the difference isn't nearly as stark as Quake 2 makes it appear. Eg BF5 or Metro with RTX on or off isn't...
