    Amazon Is Selling Fake AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPUs, It’s Claimed: “My Processor’s Package Was Sealed!”

    Not the only counterfeit thing you have to watch out for on Amazon. Every online retailer that allows third party resellers turns immediately into a cesspool

    I’ve been alive this long and didn't even know March 10 was a thing until this moment. But I should have.

    NVIDIA Calls Its GeForce Drivers “Incredibly Complex” as It Rolls Out a Hotfix for GeForce RTX 50 Series “Blackwell” Black Screen Issues

    Yup, those were fun times. And everyone still kept going off on AMD for drivers…

    Retailers Are Building Borg Cubes out of the AMD Radeon RX 9070 Series Because RDNA 4 Stock Is So Good: “Resistance Is Futile”

    Thats kind of been my threshold for upgrading all along - double my speed and fit in my budget (whatever that is at the time)

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

    So a thought - These Day 1 sellouts are amazing really. Goes to show there is ~a lot~ of pent up demand. But they don't mean the sky is falling or that anyone fell down on manufacturing. The real tell will be how stock looks a couple of weeks from now. Can they keep up with demand, or do the...

    Corsair Calls the GeForce RTX 50 Series’ ROP Discrepancies and Performance Deviations “Unacceptable” as It Launches Proactive Measures to Ens...

    I was about to say - Corsair doesn't make or sell GPUs, but I forgot (or didn't know, I don't remember) that they own OriginPC... Kind of a "Check and see if they click the link" headline.

    XFX Quicksilver AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Magnetic Air Edition Video Card – Launch Review

    On one hand, it's not unusual for a SKU to deviate from MSRP, particularly if it's a premium model or something. On the other, it's fairly unusual for a vendor to signal price hikes coming up... especially when they are admitting they have the inventory and are doing it just because they can...

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

    Yeah, I kinda have moved on to my Bronco. It isn't exactly any less expensive, but I feel more satisfied when what I'm buying is made of steel and has some heft to it.

    Newegg Shuffle Program Returns as NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs and Newly Launched RTX 5070 Ti Sell Out in Record Time: “Unprecedented Demand”

    This part is true. The sad part is - nVidia is relying on their older sales to keep that Marketshare. They know all the people with 1060's and 2070's and what not will eventually upgrade, and that they will wait until they can get another nVidia. So long as they don't jump to another brand -...

    RIP Skype, Once Popular 22-Year-Old Voice/Video Calling App Is Getting Shut Down in May

    The only shock is that they didn't officially roll this into Teams years ago and just merge the two. But, it's Microsoft, I guess I'm not really shocked. The amount of crapware that exists in the 365 suite is ~amazing~, and a lot of it is duplicated functionality.

    Details Have Emerged About the Canceled Wonder Woman Game from It Starting as a “Showpiece Epic” to Becoming a God of War Clone

    Oh I dunno, I kinda get a schadenfreude thing out of it, I admit. I mean, all I have to do is say "Star Citizen" and I start to giggle uncontrollably. Which is totally bad on me, but I can't help it.
