    The July Steam Survey Is In: 16GB GPUs Have Officially Overtaken 8GB for the First Time

    Ya I have a tendency to set things to ULTRA (Max) as well. And for some reason just dont like upscaling - I prefer everything native. For what I play/do 60 fps is good and anything more is nifty. Still I miss the 24gb my 7900xtx had. The 16gb downgrade being balanced by improved Ray Trace is...

    The July Steam Survey Is In: 16GB GPUs Have Officially Overtaken 8GB for the First Time

    Out of context I am not sure it matters - till resolution comes into play. I have been wondering if 16gb is enough for 4k - so far it seems so. Not that I have been pushing my system much. AARPG's (POE 1-2/GD/TQ 1-2) tend to be more CPU bottlenecked than GPU. Hmmmm Copilot seems to think:

    Electronic Arts Launches Its In-Game EA Advertising Service, Offering Prominent Brand Placement

    Back in the day [back in the decade?] when City of Heroes was still on the official NCSoft servers they experimented with this. After all Paragon City is a 'modern' type mega-city like New York with actual in game billboards advertising Crey and other in game products and companies. I thought...

    Sapphire 7900xtx Failed - Likely Vram

    Have a history of driver timeouts now I guess I know why. For Context: --------------------------------------- Finally with a freeze followed by a reboot and Asus post code 97 - GPU Failure to initialize. If I try over and over it will occasionally post, however there is very obvious video...

    AMD Expands Its Ryzen PRO Lineup with the Addition of Six New Processors, Including Another 16-Core X3D Model

    More choice is usually good - till it leads to the 'Paradox of Choice,' or 'Decision Paralysis.' It's starting to get like the toothpaste aisle at Target/Walmart. Unless you have an attachment to a brand or the lowest price too much in options. Or perhaps not, I dont know, just speculation...

    Early Game Testing of Intel Arc Pro B720 Workstation AI GPU Shows Comparable Performance to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti

    Sadly, price aside, the message I am getting is Intel was making good progress in improving their GPU's. With 16/24gb of vram the price would go down some. Within the next generation or three I think they could have climbed up to the near top tier space. Maybe not the Big Green money sucking...

    AMD Releases EXPO 1.2, Paving the Way For CUDIMM and Faster DDR5 on Zen 6

    So nothing much for getting my DDR5 to it's rated speed.

    Intel Has Seemingly Bowed Out of the Consumer Discrete Graphics Market, for Now

    Disappointing - no doubt the rampocalypse is playing its part.

    NVIDIA Is Now Rumored to Expand its 9 GB Memory Configuration Strategy With RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti GPUs

    I guess it depends how well the texture compression is going to function - I dont doubt it works, but is it fast enough type stuff. It is better to have 12gb I think than 8/9. I was reading NV is stating 80% compression. So functionally almost doubling the frame buffer? I suspect not everything...

    NVIDIA Is Now Rumored to Expand its 9 GB Memory Configuration Strategy With RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti GPUs

    I guess, bottom line, if it works it works - more a 1080/1440 thing?

    NVIDIA Is Now Rumored to Expand its 9 GB Memory Configuration Strategy With RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti GPUs

    One more gb of vram makes big difference? Even with compression - how good is it? How fast?

    Geekbench Flags Intel iBOT Results as Potentially Invalid, Investigation Finds Vectorized Instructions Behind 30% Gains

    Does this tool permanently alter the code of your installed apps? How does that work with later patching and the like?

    Microsoft’s April 2026 Windows Update Ends Trust for Cross-Signed Kernel Drivers

    I am just wondering to myself what is going to stop working at random and how it'll take days (or never) to get it fixed.

    Microsoft Standardizes Shader Execution Reordering in DirectX: Intel Arc Sees Up to 90% Ray Tracing Boost

    I am sure there are (probably good, or perhaps just valid) reasons and why's, for the ne SER. Sadly my little curiosity will never be satisfied. :(

    Intel Arc Pro B70 Launch Could Be Imminent Now That It’s Been Listed on an Intel Support Page

    Hopefully not $3k+. I do want this to be a good & strong product for gaming and whatever else.

    Rumor: AMD Zen 6 Processors Could Arrive in Configurations Ranging from 6 Up to 24 Cores

    For many tasks sure. HEDT type stuff, heavy rendering, etc. Not for everything, in particular gaming. That's why the bios in this, and my last motherboard, has an option to turn off the second CCD either automatically when gaming or full time. (I dont bother though I have tested it out) Of...
