  1. Windows 10 May 2020 Update Introduces Internet Connectivity and Drive Optimizer Bugs

    I finally got an NVME drive a little while back and in preparation for a clean install I downloaded the latest Win10 image from MS which happened to be 2004. I didn't even bother looking at what it was at the time. I can't say I noticed anything beneficial over the previous version. However...
  2. Ryzen 7 2700X vs Ryzen 7 3700X Performance Comparison

    Thanks for the comparison review. I always find these reviews extremely interesting but don't see them often. This should give you some really nice baseline info when the 4xxx series processors release to see how they all compare against each other. I look forward to seeing all of it together...
  3. AMD’s Big Navi Is Supposedly 40 to 50 Percent Faster than the RTX 2080 Ti

    First generation Navi has power/heat problems if scaled any higher than the chip used for the 5700 which is why I think they didn't bring out anything bigger with it. Instead of trying to release something to compete at higher levels which would have been problematic they left it as is and...
  4. Netflix Releases Top-10 List of Its Most-Watched Original Movies

    I haven't watched a single one of those movies.
  5. EA to Release Fourteen New Games This Year, Which Reportedly Includes an HD Remaster of the Mass Effect Trilogy

    Since EA finally had a halfway decent sale on the DLC I was finally able to pick up the rest of the ME2 and ME3 DLC I didn't already have and started playing through them again. While I personally don't have a problem with the graphics of either game, hell, I don't even mind the graphics of...
  6. What Linux OS do you use currently?

    Manjaro on my main system and openSUSE Leap on my server.
  7. GMC Revives the Hummer as an EV: 1,000 HP, 11,500 LB-FT of Torque, 0-60 MPH in 3 Seconds

    Eroding my ***. EVs are effectively at a dead end right now. Range is nowhere near good enough even in optimal conditions. Charge times are horrendous. Places to charge are pathetic. Here's a scenario for you. Four vehicle household; two full size sedans, a two door compact and a 3/4 ton...
  8. XFX Radeon RX 5600 XT Overclocking Review

    I'm not surprised that you're using Afterburner instead. I've been using it for years, GeForce 8800GT then Radeon HD5770 and now Radeon RX570. Maybe it's just because I'm so accustomed to Afterburner but to me the overlocking options in the new Radeon drivers feels clunky and confusing in...
  9. New PSU Standard Launching This Year: Intel’s ATX12VO Promises Better Efficiency, Lower Costs

    I still say this is a solution looking for a problem. And a bad solution at that. There's absolutely no reason to shove even more stuff onto a motherboard that is currently working perfectly in the PSU. I think the person who said this is more about Intel trying to make motherboard makers a...
  10. AMD Confirms “Refreshed” Navi GPUs with Next-Gen RDNA2 Architecture for 2020

    I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's highly likely they knew as soon as the 5700 was taped out that there was not going to be anything higher tier than that. Assuming perfect scaling it would take a literal double of the 5700XT to equal or beat nVidia high end and the power...
  11. XFX Radeon RX 5600 XT Overclocking Review

    I don't see how it would, at least not appreciatively. The amount of power used doesn't increase dramatically. The extra heat generation is quite small and the cooler had no issues keeping it cooled. There was also no increase in voltage needed. Extra voltage and heat are the two main items...
  12. MSI Calls AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT vBIOS Memory Speed Increases “Russian Roulette”

    This has been my thought from the beginning. It would seem extremely odd that AMD would push out a new BIOS for the cards which the cards couldn't have handled in the stock configuration which means 14Gbps RAM would have been the spec. If that's the case there should be no issues whatsoever with...
  13. AMD Product Lead Expects “Big Navi” to “Disrupt 4K,” as Ryzen Did with CPU Processors

    This is exactly what I was thinking about when I first saw the article. The quote is how AMD expects it to disrupt like what happened with Ryzen and Intel. The first iteration didn't win in clock speed or IPC but came close enough in many cases with the extra cores and the cheaper prices to...
  14. “Obi-Wan” Disney+ Series on Hold “Indefinitely”: Kathleen Kennedy “Not Happy” with Scripts

    If Kathleen Kennedy is unhappy with the scripts then it probably means the scripts would be great Star Wars. And of course we'll never see any of it because of that. Her disliking something is one of the strongest recommendations you could have with regards to Star Wars.
  15. Intel Plans to Cut CPU Prices in H2 2020 to Fend Off AMD Ryzen’s Climbing Market Share

    I understand that Intel is basically out of options for competing and dropping prices is the only option but how is that going to truly help? Intel doesn't have the capacity to make it work properly as the fabs are already at full capacity trying to pump out CPUs for the current demand...
  16. Cherry Wants to Kill Rubber-Dome Keyboards with its New, Low-Cost "Viola" Mechanical Switch

    One of the biggest reasons to avoid the membrane keyboards is because of longevity. Mechanical switches will last a lot longer with better consistency through their lifetime. I used to have to buy new MS Natural keyboards every couple of years because they were **** by then. Within a year I...
  17. AMD Ryzen 5 Mobile 3500U Vega 8 iGPU Review

    Laptop graphics isn't something I've ever thought much about but after a little thinking I have to say this iGPU is actually quite impressive. Considering the iGPU and the CPU combined don't go over 15w I think it's amazing you can get any sort of usable framerates out of any game less than five...
  18. AMD Ryzen 5 Mobile 3500U CPU Review

    Nice review. It was interesting to see something other than high performance desktop oriented CPU review. If you get some more laptops to test for comparison purposes it should be a fun comparison.
  19. Ryan Reynolds Confirms “Deadpool 3”: Film Is Currently “In the Hands of Marvel Studios”

    In this case, the irony would be toning it down and going with a lower rating would be the opposite of playing it safe. One of the reasons the other two movies did well is because that didn't happen. Playing it safe is using the same formula as the previous two movies but I'm not confident...
