Well, I do... Then again I have been known to be called peculiar a time or two. Besides, hearing fans spin up and down annoys me a hell of a lot more than a static humming noise in the background which is typically easy for me to ignore. And I have tinnitus so the steady background noise is a...

Just checked my "local" (2 hours 1 way) Microcenter and the best video card they have is a 1660 followed by a 1650 and RX560. However, I was really surprised to see they have Ryzen 5600x in stock and they're only $300. If it wouldn't take all my spare cash I'd probably make the trip tomorrow and...

That's because it is hollow. The class stories are interesting but that's about it. There's no real exploration and I rarely ever got a feeling that I was even on another planet with how small all the areas were. In theory, being able to go from planet to planet is interesting but everything was...

I generally agree but it also depends on the story and narrative being told. If it's the typical you have been chosen to save the galaxy from an imminent threat storyline then an open world game isn't going to work well. If they decide to do something a little different which doesn't need to be...

1.2TB doesn't sound like a lot at all even before beer virus. Over the past 17 days my router has logged about 300GB downstream and 20GB upstream. My connection is 5mbit/2.5mbit. I don't particularly check the stats often and a reboot of the router clears the previous totals but the 300GB for...

I have the blue version of this case at the moment which replaced my ancient Antec P182. There are a few things I would point out that weren't mentioned in the review. The 3.5" "bays" are just a cage made of flimsy plastic. The plastic does the job but 3.5" drives can be knocked out of place if...

It depends on how it's done. If they've moved them all to a single engine with the same gameplay mechanics and such (hopefully like ME3) while removing most of the annoyances such as crappy MAKO driving and the horrible inventory system of ME1 then it will be something I'll purchase. I already...

The mistake for nVidia was setting a release date just like nVidia's mistake was "launching" the new series of cards with no real stock. I have seen no indications that nVidia can supply stock for any of the 3xxx line so what would be the point of "releasing" a new card which can't be purchased...

Absolutely wonderful. Another nVidia release and no stock to speak of I'm sure. They really are sticking it to AMD this round. /s

There are reasons I stick to physical media for any purchases and back them up digitally on my local server. The only other thing I do is "rent" content via Netflix or Hulu or Prime knowing that I never own any of the content and I will lose access to it when I drop the sub and/or when the...

I bought a 5 pack of the Arctic P12 PWMs a year and a half ago and have them all in use. None of them has given me any problems and they work well enough. I can't particularly say anything about noise as noise itself doesn't bother me much as long as it's constant. All of the fans are running...

Double digit IPC increase according to Intel math. I guess that means in the real world it will be 2%-3%?

I don't have the list and don't particularly care but would you care to look up the list of games nVidia promised RT in with the release of the 2xxx series and see how many of them actually have any RT features much less usable or noticeable ones? I saw it posted recently and it didn't look...

With all the projects, hobbies and work you've spoken about doing for years it was obvious you were a glutton for punishment. What I didn't realize until now is that you're a masochist... ;)

Unless the HDMI issues screw everything up or make things more complicated. Sort of like what is happening regarding the article subject and this is far from the first time we've seen HDMI issues. I definitely wouldn't mind a new optical standard. At worst I have to attach and extra cord but...

I agree that it's too early to tell. Optimizations, learning the ins and out of the architecture, drivers and such are all going to play a part in performance over time. Raytracing in games is still in its infancy for AMD and nVidia which is a major factor. That said, this is AMD's first...

It doesn't matter if you can see a movie in a theater right now or not. Movies are not limited time live releases like UFC. UFC fights have a shelf life which is hours. A movie isn't even close to that. Movies run in theaters for weeks or months and are then released on physical media and...

UFC has been pay for view for a long time and that's the standard there. It's also very different from a movie. UFC was never in the theaters as an exclusive like movies. It's also a live event which is very different from a movie release in that it's an immediate, one time event. Any movie...

I've had more ATI/AMD cards over the years than I've had nVidia and with one exception have never run into all the issues people talk about. The one and only video card I ever had die on me was my nVidia 8800GT. I replaced that with a Radeon HD5770 and it's still in use in my server.

The only way to make any real money streaming a movie such as this is going to be pay per view. That is the only model which can charge enough to have any chance of recouping the initial investment. In the case of $600m no service would be able to recoup that and it would end up a massive loss...
