    Buyout Deal Worth $82 Billion Could See Netflix Gain Access to Warner Bros. Game IPs Such as Batman, Harry Potter, and Mortal Kombat

    Guy has a point. I was just thinking earlier today (largely because I'm seeing the Dick Van Dyke birthday in the news)... there are always those classic movies that become part of the pop culture, and you see referenced all over the place. I can throw out dozens: Young Frankenstein Blues...

    Industry-Wide Price Hikes Expected in 2026 as Manufacturers Begin Implementing Price “Adjustments” Due to Memory and Storage Supply Shortages

    Thinking about this from another perspective. While I totally agree with the end result of what you are saying... the cause I think I disagree on. Or maybe not disagree, really... just needs more context. RTX was the leading indicator that nVidia was shifting direction as a company. They were...

    2025 Game Thread - Anandtech Forums Are Dying Edition

    Ooo good idea. Since it's Dec 13... I'm just naming one game. I want to finish Octopath Traveller 2. I'm only 60 hours in and still can't quite see the finish line though.

    AMD FSR Redstone Is Coming To Town: ML-FSR For RDNA 4

    Wasn't Redstone like a windows 10 thing or something?

    Industry-Wide Price Hikes Expected in 2026 as Manufacturers Begin Implementing Price “Adjustments” Due to Memory and Storage Supply Shortages

    I.... do not disagree with this actually. I still can't believe the crowd that says "DLSS has better image quality than original". I mean, you are entitled to your opinion... you can think it looks better but... I think it's objectively wrong that a inferred or artificially generated facsimile...

    Segotep Is Taking Things to the Next Level as the Overseas Company Is Set to Launch a 12V-2×6 Cable Capable of up to 1080 Watts of Power Delivery

    Never heard of them, but I guess that isn't surprising in the US really. When I see the word TITANLOAD... it conjures something NSFW Joking aside... not putting a lot of stock in ~random chinese company~ solving the issues that plague these cables. China can make great stuff but isn't exactly...

    Netflix Didn’t Attribute Any Value to WB Games in Its Deal Because It Was Considered Relatively Minor to the Grand Scheme of Things

    Nothing to sneeze at sure ... but certainly not Pokemon or GTA numbers. I kinda think Netflix is right here - the gaming division doesn't really move the needle that much, when you are looking at $9B per quarter.

    Netflix Didn’t Attribute Any Value to WB Games in Its Deal Because It Was Considered Relatively Minor to the Grand Scheme of Things

    I went to look it up in their published income statement, but they lump WB Games in with "Studios", so you can't see it distinguished from other content. They only mention a massive drop in revenue lately (almost 50%), along with a massive cut in spending following their latest restructuring...

    AMD FSR Redstone Is Coming To Town: ML-FSR For RDNA 4

    I think I'm ok with that really.

    EVGA RTX 3070 and Intel UHD 770

    I think you might be able to just remove the drivers for it, but Windows may want to keep re-installing them and thwarting your attempt. I wouldn't just unplug the power while leaving it in the PCI slot though - either leave it all plugged in, or remove it entirely. It ~shouldn't~ hurt it and...

    TEAMS on windows 11 SUCKS!!!

    I always hear people on Teams saying "I put something-or-another in chat" And I think "Oh, that's cute. I thought we were chatting?"

    NVIDIA Quietly Re-Adds 32-Bit PhysX Support for Select Classic Games on RTX 50 Series GPUs with Its Latest Game Ready Driver

    Let's hear it for fixing things that were working just fine and you shouldn't have broke in the first place!

    Buyout Deal Worth $82 Billion Could See Netflix Gain Access to Warner Bros. Game IPs Such as Batman, Harry Potter, and Mortal Kombat

    I always feel like when two giant conglomerates merge, it ends up being somehow worse for everyone else. Inevitably they start spinning stuff back off in ~5 years, but only after after destroying your dreams and crushing your hopes... Warner has to be getting tired of being passed around like a...

    RAM == LOBSTERS???? OH CRAP!

    Oh wow holy cow “The AI-driven growth in the data center has led to a surge in demand for memory and storage. Micron has made the difficult decision to exit the Crucial consumer business in order to improve supply and support for our larger, strategic customers in faster-growing segments,” You...

    The Price of Steam Machine Could Be Within the $600–$800 Range, According to Costs of a Mock-Up Test Build

    I seriously don't think graphics/hardware will get pushed much further, at least in the near term. I know that's gonna get a lot of pushback here. But... Look at the most popular games online right now. Most of them will run on a potato. Many of them are many years old. I mean, sure, there are...

    AMD RDNA 3.5 Radeon 8060S iGPU Dukes It Out, and Bests, NVIDIA RTX 4070 and Many Other Mobile Graphics Solutions

    This sums up my experience with Steam Deck - it's nice to have when the wife ropes me into watching dumb TV shows, but yeah, really glad it isn't my primary device. It's mostly nice because it's purpose built - what it does, it does very well, and it doesn't pretend to be a 4K gaming machine or...

    35% off @ $259.99 Intel Core Ultra 7 Desktop Processor 265K - 20 cores (8 P-cores + 12 E-cores) up to 5.5 GHz

    That's exactly what I was thinking too. AI Benchmarks are... not impactful for my workloads at all.

    The Price of Steam Machine Could Be Within the $600–$800 Range, According to Costs of a Mock-Up Test Build

    This is just like all those "I built a PC specced to a console and it cost $XYZ" It will be interesting if it's totally open and you can install other OSes, like the Steam Deck is.
