    PC Hardware Manufacturers Answer as to Whether or Not Its Better to Use Bundled GPU Adapters or Native PSU 12V-2×6 Cables

    That's correct. My 5080 came with an adapter to use 3 or 4 PCIe cables. My PSU came with the correct 12VHPWR so I'm using that.

    Vince Zampella, Call of Duty Co-Creator, Co-Founder of Respawn and Infinity Ward, EA Exec, Was Tragically Killed in a Car Accident

    what is it you consider a "normal car"? Your basic base model Civic or Corolla these days can run the 1/4 mile in 15 seconds at 85-90 MPH. Certainly doesn't take a mile to hit 100. This isn't europe where our cars are neutered.

    You hit the end of a barrier like that in dang near any car and you're pretty much toast. That's a lot of concentrated force.

    From Bad to Worse, NVIDIA Reportedly Will Cut RTX 50 Series Production by 30–40% in 2026 and Might Stop Providing VRAM to Its Partners

    Eventually this will die off once someone develops a ASIC that's is a lot more powerful and efficient for specific AI needs. I'd imaging storage and memory will be condensed for clustered processing. Just have to give it time.

    From Bad to Worse, NVIDIA Reportedly Will Cut RTX 50 Series Production by 30–40% in 2026 and Might Stop Providing VRAM to Its Partners

    The AI boom is just like the mining boom. Nvidia won't exit the consumer market, they'll just limit consumer parts production and jack up the prices while they feed the majority of their production to AI companies.

    NVIDIA Driver 591.44 Boosts Black Myth: Wukong Performance by up to 88%

    Also running a PNY 5080 that's been flawless. Super quiet, very powerful. And it's a stupidly good overclocker.

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

    These thing are aimed at bridging a gap between console and PC gamers. Those console people that don't want a gaming PC, but want to PC game with their friends they met in cross-platform lobbies. Personally don't think they'll sell a lot of them, and it'll be short lived as graphics get pushed...

    I think this card is more of an evolution of the Astral for people to LN2 cool and use custom 1000+ watt BIOS on for benchmarks.

    PUBG: Black Budget, the Upcoming Extraction Shooter Spinoff, Enters Closed Alpha Testing on PC in December

    AFAIK PUBG hasn't moved to AI development. It's still one of the most developed and high player base games on steam. Amazing that it's still thriving after almost 8 years. Still the best gun play of any game. I look forward to this extraction shooter.

    Yeah, back when standard definition 480x720 was a thing. The larger the screen the larger those pixels became the worse it looked up close.

    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.
