As big of a fan of AMD as I am, the 580/590's were dead when the plain 1660 dropped. The performance was considerably higher with MUCH less power usage, it was a no-brainer decision and the 1660 Super just makes it that much more-so. The 570 4GB has always been a good bang for the buck card, but...

It'll definitely be interesting to see what the 5500 series has in store; given the low wattage capabilities of the undervolted 5700, I'm hopeful for some very competitive numbers with the 1660(ti).

I think it's more likely refreshes are a cheap way to stay competitive with AMD and still make a profit on currently manufactured parts more than anything. While the performance is a decent step up from the regular 1660, the price point is just not right imo. There have been regular deals on...

"RS-321, Testing conducted by AMD Performance Labs as of October 24, 2019, using a test system comprising of Intel Core i9-9900K CPU (3.6GHz), 16GB DDR4-3200MHz memory, the Radeon™ RX 5700XT graphics card and Windows 10 x64 with Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.10.1, and 19.10.2. PC...

I spent a lot of time in my early gaming years playing C&C and Red Alert, and while I would absolutely love to pick up re-masters to get on the nostalgia train, EA and Activision will never see another penny from me; I really wish it was someone other than EA publishing this.

Not all BIOS updates are good or fun :) Always a good idea to test everything after an update just to make sure all is well. ASRock recently released version 1.92 for the Steel Legend X570 which was supposed to "Fix CPU Power consumption report." After this BIOS update, my 3600X would only boost...

Yea, the charts could use some work, they were almost painful to go through; as stated, showing i5 as i7 and the inconsistency of the order of the cpu's. It might also be a good idea, for ease of reading sake, to change the bar color of the actual product the review is covering. Not complaining...

If they can put the pressure on nvidia with pricing these, it could be good competition. Hopefully this tier will have some more competitive perf per watt as well.

This. I'm only an entry level Sysadmin, but I've seen some deployments that have more issues with a few hundred users.

Considering the migration, the (likely) large influx of players because of F2P, and having a new expansion drop; this was quite a tame launch compared to a lot of others. I've played WoW on and off for the past 15 years, and essentially every expansion or large content update has had similar...

As has been the case with all the Navi cards so far, the overclock improvements just don't justify the insane increase in power consumption. A few percent in frames for 20% in power is just not a good trade off; though I'm sure that there is room to undervolt and get them tamed down some. Edit...

Will have to dust off the PS4 Pro to pick this up. Naughty Dog is in a very very small group of studios who actually release quality games that aren't a beta test at release.

At about 75 hours in, I still have only had a single issue with an errant quest marker that was fixed by exiting to the menu and going back to the area. I've been running DX12 on the R VII because DX11 gives me strange stuttering and I lose 10-15fps.

It seems this new ABBA BIOS is trying to adhere to that 1.325v number on all-core loads. Before ABBA mine would sit at 1.365-1.37v, and after ABBA it now does 1.325-1.33 on all-core loads.

It's very likely that, yes, PBO just has no headroom. On a single core we're already seeing 1.5v+ (my 3600X hits 1.469-1.475 to reach its 4.4GHz) to hit boost clocks (have seen a few screenshots exceeding 1.5v also), it's likely there just isn't a satisfactory trade off to get any extra...

On the topic of PBO and boost clocks. On my X570 Steel Legend with the official ABBA release, I tested by turning on PBO last night and setting it to +200MHz; this resulted in going back to the previous behavior of not reaching the 4.4GHz boost clock and starting working at 4.2-4.275GHz. I had...

DPC latency is notoriously high in Win 10 1903, it's a widespread, and known/discussed issue. While it is possible the boards on the graph with higher DPC latencies actually do exhibit this behavior; it could also be 1903 causing the issue if all of the boards showing high DPC latency were...

I think the real issue (and still really not an issue) at this point is going to be, when and/or is PBO going to work on 3000 series. I haven't seen anything stating that the ABBA revision is going to address PBO, and only addresses the outcry of not getting 25-100MHz that wasn't even...

BL3 had announced its release date of 09/13 before D2 initially was shooting for a launch the same week, then Bungie postponed it to the 10/01 launch date. Unless it is a release by From Software or Nintendo; the trend these days is that no game launch will be low on the bugs or problems.

ASRock just released their official ABBA update yesterday. On my X570 Steel Legend, my 3600X is now boosting to the suggested boost frequency on all cores when they get hit with a single threaded workload. In BL3 last night HW Info showed all 6 cores as hitting 4.4GHz, when it would usually max...
