    SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 9070 XT Video Card Review

    You should run the Half-Life 2 RTX demo and then tell me how you feel. Seeing a 20 year old game look entirely new is pretty amazing.

    SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 9070 XT Video Card Review

    I was very impressed with the Sapphire 9070XT. The build quality is top notch and innovative. It ran so quiet. Also is pretty strong in every game at 1440p. Ray Tracing is still a little weak but AMD is inching closer......they need to fix that and then they will own the 600-1000 dollar GPU...

    Half-Life 2 RTX Remix Demo Releases to Mixed Reviews with Praise for Its Visual Upgrades but Yet Another Remix That Requires a High-End GPU

    Last night my game froze ALOT. I was using 572.70 driver. So this morning realized there was a new driver.....played this AM smooth as silk. Using RTX 4090 with an AMD 5800X3D. I have settings at Ultra, DLSS Quality at 4K. The game looks amazing. It looks like a recent release or compared...

    Hahaha....twice as many as not very many is ......well.....a low number. Nothing on the shelf and $7000 for a 5090 on eBay.....come on.

    New Survey Shows AMD Radeon RX 9070 Series Outselling NVIDIA's Entire Lineup of GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs in a Single Week

    Doesn't take a PhD to figure this one out. There simply is no Nvidia stock to be purchased. The scalpers have snatched them all up and the price is laughable. AMD, if you recall, postponed their launch thereby giving the partners time to produce more cards. They're all gone now. AMD's upper...

    Experienced PC Hardware Reviews Continue to See Issues with NVIDIA’s 12VHWPR Connector, One States “It Will Forever Remain a Weak Point”

    We test a ton of cards. I use one 2x6 purchased from Corsair and one 2x6 that came with an Enermax psu. I honestly hate them. They are difficult to insert. Even more difficult to remove. I do have a Corsair in my personal 4090 and so far so good, but its only been inserted once. Ive not had...

    AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series GPUs & RDNA 4 Architecture & FSR 4: Announcement & Info

    So much information, it hurts your head. Nice complete article. The real deal here is can these cards compete with what is out right now, not a 3090 or a 7900GRE or whatever. I would hope a brand new GPU could stomp a card from 2 generations ago. Next, what can these things do in real-life...

    Testing Shows Recent NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 FE Cable Meltdown May Be Due to Uneven Power Distribution

    The only reason there haven't been more reports? There are like 12 people world-wide who actually have one.

    “I Guess It Was a Matter of Time”: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Power Connector Melted While Playing Battlefield V, User Says

    Guy reused a cable. Appears to be capable of jacking into the psu directly. Doesnt look like an extension, male plugs on both ends. 5090 pulls more than 4090, no doubt. My money is on a bad cable. I hope nvidia cuts the guy a break. If not 2k just literally went up in smoke.

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Has Allegedly Been Liquid Cooled to 20°C Using a Household Air Conditioner, and a RTX 5090 Is Next

    This aint new. There are guys in Australia that have run their loops into underground vaults because the ambient is 50F. Using an AC unit is certainly unique though.

    AMD Radeon RX 9070 Series Will Go on Sale in Early March, Bringing “Significantly” Better Ray Tracing Performance and 4K Gaming to Mainstream P...

    I would suspect AMD will try every smoke and mirrors trick they have to show some improvement. Nvidia has pushed out, so far, disappointing improvements vs RTX 4000s (excepting maybe the 5090, but who knows since you cant buy one) and they are the leader by far. Nvidia has quoted their...

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition Video Card Review

    Looks like 5080 is a dud. I hope people read reviews before buying them on ebay for hundreds more. Maybe holding on to the 4090 is a good idea. But, the 4090 just increased in resale value!
