  1. NVIDIA and AMD’s Next-Generation Flagship GPUs Rumored to Draw over 420 Watts of Power

    The move to 5nm TSMC (if true) will massively improve perf/watt over their current node. NVIDIA will be going from 44.56 million transistors per mm² to 173 million transistors per mm² This rumor is likely the A100 replacement and that already has a TDP of 400 watts so this is not really...
  2. China’s Used GPU Market Gets Flooded by GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs Sold Under MSRP Following Mining Crackdown

    There are millions of 30 series GPUs being used by gamers as per the Steam survey. Contracts with system integrators take priority over box sales and SIs have had backorders for months. That's where all the GPUs went.
  3. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition Review

    The mobile 3080 is the exact same chip as the 3070 Ti
  4. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition Review

    Micron really needs to start making/supplying 2GB GDDR6X chips. Still massively disappointed by the efficiency. I'm assuming these are all the 3080 mobile chips that didn't bin well. For 20% more money, it should be reasonably better and just isn't.
  5. GIGABYTE Releases Full Specifications of AORUS FO48U Gaming Monitor: 4K OLED, HDMI 2.1, 120 Hz

    The original press release for this said HDR1000 support but then was quickly edited out. So it may end up having support for HDR but definitely not 1000 as it's an OLED.
  6. NVIDIA to End Support of Kepler GPUs with R470 Drivers

    I looked for a long time for a way to get current drivers to work and found a way --- https://www.techpowerup.com/nvcleanstall/ It won't allow DX12 to work (it's a hardware thing with WoW's DX12 implementation) but it significantly improved my FPS.
  7. Tesla Suspends Vehicle Purchases Using Bitcoin Due to Environmental Concerns

    Elon and his friends buy a ton of crypto, pushes it on social media to raise the price, sells it, and then tweets about crypto being bad so the market drops for him to rebuy at a lower price and then repeat the cycle.
  8. AMD Ryzen 6000 Series “Rembrandt” APUs Rumored to Feature Zen 3+ Cores and Up to 12 RDNA 2 GPU Compute Units

    I wonder how well a 12 CU RDNA2 chip without the large cache will perform. If it allows 1080p60 at medium or higher on current games, it will be massive for the market.
  9. Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition Releasing May 6, Requires Ray-Tracing GPU to Run

    There will never be a situation that performance isn't really affected. That's like saying when a marathon is as easy to run as walking a few blocks. Faked lighting and screen space effects are much easier to process than ray tracing. With the amount of time saved by developers and the...
  10. Acer Releasing 49-Inch Ultrawide VA Monitor with 2,048 Local Dimming Zones and DisplayHDR 2000 Support

    Relative to other monitor pricing, $2300 would be a steal. That said, I think 2000 nits is way too bright for a monitor.
  11. MSI Plans to Increase Graphics Card Prices

    This has nothing to do with price fixing. This is a tariff issue and a supply/demand issue. If there was an abundance of graphics cards and they suddenly all (both NVIDIA & AMD) went up in price by $100, that would be cause for an investigation.
  12. AMD Won’t Launch NVIDIA DLSS Competitor Until It’s Ready for Both Radeon Graphics Cards and Next-Gen Consoles

    I can only go off of the technical data provided - I am just using peak processing power of the silicon. I thought I saw a comparison somewhere showing the frametime difference with and without tensor accelerated but I am not able to find it.
  13. AMD Won’t Launch NVIDIA DLSS Competitor Until It’s Ready for Both Radeon Graphics Cards and Next-Gen Consoles

    It could be run on anything but using the tensor cores processes it much faster and concurrently. I mean the difference between adding 1.5ms to a rendered frame and 4ms is massive relatively.
  14. Intel Thunderbolt 5 Could Boast Speeds of Up to 80 Gbps

    I honestly can't see Apple jumping on a next gen TB so I don't see this taking off unless it becomes open.
  15. AMD Won’t Launch NVIDIA DLSS Competitor Until It’s Ready for Both Radeon Graphics Cards and Next-Gen Consoles

    Something that will work on Windows, Xbox, and PS5 with no tensor cores and not using DirectML (as the PS5 doesn't support it)? So maybe in a few years...
  16. Aliens, Alien 3, and Alien Resurrection Getting Remastered for 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and Disney+

    Disney announced 'recently' they were moving away from UHD and projects like The Abyss UHD remaster were cancelled. Hopefully this is true.
  17. Intel Benchmark Shows PCIe 4.0 Storage Performance of Core i9-11900K Exceeding AMD Ryzen 9 5950X by 11 Percent

    They used the x16 slot so it means nothing as M.2 performance will likely be different. No one is going to have an M.2 hooked up like that with a 3090 on anything lower than a TR.
  18. NVIDIA Claims Its GeForce RTX 3060 Cryptocurrency Mining Limiter Can’t Be Hacked

    I hope that the miners realize that they are literally shooting themselves in the foot by bypassing it. If a software solution doesn't work the next step is a hardware solution which I have no doubt NVIDIA will have no problem doing.
  19. NVIDIA Claims Its GeForce RTX 3060 Cryptocurrency Mining Limiter Can’t Be Hacked

    https://twitter.com/bdelrizzo/status/1362619264423747590 "Hi Ryan. It's not just a driver thing. There is a secure handshake between the driver, the RTX 3060 silicon, and the BIOS (firmware) that prevents removal of the hash rate limiter."
