    A New Study Shows That Most People Are Unable to Perceive the Difference of 8K on a Smaller Screen Unless They Are Extremely Close to It

    Depends on the size of the display. I have both 1440 and 4K 32" monitors. I've played games on both. I can't tell a difference other than lower FPS on the 4K

    Battlefield REDSEC, a Free to Play Battle Royale, Launches Today with up to 100 Player Participation, Twitch Drop Rewards Revealed

    I've played a good bit of it. My only complaint, for now, is the lack of solo queues. I seem to always get paired with people that either A) don't speak english B) have no mic C) have no idea on how to play as a team D) wander off and play solo. Otherwise, it very much feels like "Battle Duty...

    Anandtech Sails Off Into the Sunset

    Real journalism died a long time ago. Now it's basically click farming with sensationalistic headlines and out of context reporting to fit a narrative. Telling 50% of the truth to portray something a certain way is not telling a lie, which allows them to get away with it free from lawsuits.

    AMD Is Rumored to Be Prepping a New Ryzen 9000 X3D Processor Featuring 192 MB L3 Cache and 16 Cores

    I'm wondering what benefit a dual cache X3D chip will offer and how they'll combat inter CCD latency. That was the whole problem with dual CCD parts and gaming. You had to disable one chiplet to get decent performance.

    Battlefield 6 Debuts with over 747,000 Concurrent Players on Steam and Gets over 260 Fixes with Its First Patch

    I've been enjoying it. Even more so now that they're cracking down on Cronus / reWASD use and banning people. About time a dev took a stand.

    because, underneath it, it's still 10, just worse

    More than Half of Those Surveyed in the U.S. Claim They Only Buy One or Two Video Games a Year

    I might buy 1-2 AAA titles at launch every year. Otherwise I wait until they are heavily discounted or free on Epic.

    Intel Is Expected to Share Details About Panther Lake This Week, as Rumored Specs About the First 18A Node SKUs Grow

    Intel has cared more about using less power than being faster. The whole P-core and E-core thing is just odd. Fine for office PC's, not so much for gaming. If they want to get the gaming crown back they're going to have to focus on power over economy. I don't see them doing that with their...

    Microsoft Removes the Ability to Install Windows 11 via a Local Account; Online Accounts Are Now Required to Complete Setup

    We use InTune and O365 to manage everything. We can send someone a laptop with a fresh install of W11 that hasn't gone through setup. All the end user is doing is connecting to their network, logging in with their O365 account, InTune takes over and pushes all their software. Easy peasy

    Microsoft Removes the Ability to Install Windows 11 via a Local Account; Online Accounts Are Now Required to Complete Setup

    not exactly running through Window setup in an enterprise environment anyways. We do that once, clean up everything that needs cleaning, install what needs to be installed, make an image and deploy that.

    EA Confirms $55 Billion Buyout Deal, and According to a Report, the New Owners Are Banking on AI to Reduce Operating Costs

    Depends on the wording of your employment contract. Some companies allow employees to cash out PTO thereby assigning a monetary value to it. Most companies don't allow that and assign no monetary value to PTO until it is used.

    EA Confirms $55 Billion Buyout Deal, and According to a Report, the New Owners Are Banking on AI to Reduce Operating Costs

    A lot of companies are moving away from accrued and rollover PTO to a un"limited" PTO platform. And they're not paying out any accrued or rolled over PTO. They did that to us. We had people with 8+ weeks accrued that just POOF'd. When you have hundreds or thousands of employees that's a lot of...

    NVIDIA RTX 50 SUPER Series Might Debut at CES 26, Launch Between March-May, and Has Been Spotted on the Seasonic Website

    Well, yeah, right tool for the job applies. All I use my GPU for is gaming. And for my needs at 1440P 16 GB is more than enough.

    NVIDIA RTX 50 SUPER Series Might Debut at CES 26, Launch Between March-May, and Has Been Spotted on the Seasonic Website

    16 GB is not an issue at 1440. I can max out settings for every game in my library. TBH, I tried a few of my games, side by side, on two 32" monitors. One 1440, other 4k. I honestly can't tell much, if any, difference in quality. Maybe, slightly, in some instances is the 4k better. YMMV

    While watching the vid I was also thinking "geez, these updated graphics look like hot kaka". Quake Live has better graphics, and that's browser based lol

    Another Round for the Champ as AMD Announces New AM4 Ryzen 5 CPU

    Nothing wrong with this kind of CPU for general office PC's. More than enough power to run any kind of productivity application.

    Apple A19 Pro Bests AMD Ryzen 9 9950X And Intel Core i9-14900KS in Single-Threaded Tests While Leaving Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite in the Dust

    Just looking at how bad it performed in multi-threaded applications it has zero chance of making any headway in the desktop market. And only 2.7% faster than the snapdragon. Most everything application wise is moving away from being single threaded.
