    AMD News Roundup: Zen 6 Benchmark Scores Spotted, FSR 4.1 Could Arrive Soon, RDNA 5 Could Receive Dual Processing Updates

    I bought my son a entry level gaming laptop back in 2018 for college. 4c/8t i5 8th gen, GTX 1650 4GB, NVME 2x8GB 2666. He still has it, only needed a new battery and repaste these last 8 years. The real value lies in the future proofing. Still powerful enough for daily driver and most games. I...

    DLSS 5 - what the sh1t...

    The uncanny valley and generic sameness does not appeal to my brain. I suppose the upside is this is the worst it will ever look, and it will keep getting better? While I appreciate graphics, if the gameplay hooks me, I quickly forget about them. I certainly don't play games like FO New Vegas...

    Anyone playing Marathon?

    This game is shaping up to be yet another big budget financial failure. They put 100s of millions into ads, marketing, and development. Already dropped from the peak players of less than 90K over a weekend, a terrible sign. Probably some refunds in there. Estimates are that is only a million...

    The 2026 Game Thread: You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy Edition

    I have been skipping around. Almost finished with playthroughs of Fallout 4, Red Dead Redemption, Shadow of Mordor. Just started another playthrough of Jedi Survivor, and my first ever playthrough of Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I played the other 2 to completion last year for the first time. It...

    Valve Reveals Steam Machine and Frame Requirements, Advises Developers That “Optimizing for Lower Spec Machines Expands Your Audience.”

    LMAO anyone still using those likely does not have money for a modern upgrade. Or if they do, they have been saving a loooong time. I want the valve hardware to do well because it is the first time it seems truly possible that millions of PC gamers could migrate away from microslop.

    Valve Reveals Steam Machine and Frame Requirements, Advises Developers That “Optimizing for Lower Spec Machines Expands Your Audience.”

    I had the Oculus Quest before Facebook bought them, would not have bought it otherwise. Then my wife won the Q2 in a contest and gave it to me. Talk about full on Metaverse, quite unsavory. Looking forward to ditching that ecosystem for the Frame. I'll also close out my Facebook account where I...

    AMD Could Be Prepping a Flagship Next-Gen GPU Featuring 96 Compute Units with Memory on a 512-Bit Bus

    But don't worry guys. If the infinite money glitch ends, they will come back to us like a drunken ex looking for sport sex at 3 am. Maybe.

    Nova Lake may actually hit the mark!

    I listened to some of that MLID interview while cooking and cleaning. Guest said Intel people he talks to are unusually confident which is good news.

    AMD Could Be Prepping a Flagship Next-Gen GPU Featuring 96 Compute Units with Memory on a 512-Bit Bus

    Su said their focus is enterprise. Won't be surprised if dates keep getting pushed back, products canceled, paper launches, etc. A real AMD flagship gaming card sounds great, but unlikely while there is still the infinite money glitch.

    Sony Will Reportedly Lessen the Number of Games It Brings to PC Moving Forward

    The former exec said PC ports were like printing money, quick money. Why give that up? My first guess is because releasing it for PC will be the same as releasing it for the next Xbox. And as this is probably a golden opportunity to help strangle out and end Xbox as a dedicated hardware device...

    Industry-Wide Layoffs and Studio Closures Continue as Gaming Audiences Lose Interest in New Releases

    And? Peter's article starts and ends with MP games. Skate, High Guard, and the abandoned GoW online game. Then ends with ARC Raiders and the upcoming, certain to flop. Horizon MP. Thanks for understanding the point. 🍻

    The return of mGPU, app lets you use a 2nd GPU for framegen

    Slot powered cards are perfect for the task. There for a bit last year, when 32bit PhysX support was removed, some were dedicating older Nvidia cards to the task.

    ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING WI-FI Motherboard Review

    Howdy from the year 2026. Where this board has consistently been the number 1 best seller on Amazon U.S. since Q4 25. There is simply no way anyone would have believed this at the time of this article's publishing. I picked it up for $120 on BF pricing 11/25 to go with a homeless 5800X3D. It is...

    level1tech watching three ASROCK AM5 mobos like a hawk!

    MIndFactory failure rates fall well within industry norms, as I surmised they would. https://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d-has-reportedly-one-of-the-lowest-rma-rates-in-ryzen-9000-7000-series/ Raptor Lake is still the only CPU that is beyond the norm. Probably owners that have had the 14900K...
