    Diablo IV Players Claim Blizzard’s New Game Is Bricking NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Cards: “RIP my RTX 3080 Ti”

    In this scenario the framerate ingame was capped and then in a cutscene it would go to likely 1000+ in an instant which can and will either trip OCP and/or kill any card not built to handle the instant increase in load

    Diablo IV Players Claim Blizzard’s New Game Is Bricking NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Cards: “RIP my RTX 3080 Ti”

    The reference 30 series is known to have voltage/transient spike issues. If software exposes this hardware defect that is still on the hardware. Imagine if a CPU randomly spiking to 100% caused the CPU to fail. It wouldn't be on the software. Engine comparison would be if redline is 6000rpm...

    AMD Criticizes NVIDIA’s Approach to AI for Gaming

    Genuinely baffling that NVIDIA is even in the conversation regarding NPC AI when NVIDIA doesn't make consumer CPUs Intel CPUs have AI acceleration while AMD CPUs do not that I'm aware of So I have no idea what the thought process was here edit:: FSR2 is an inferior solution to DLSS. So...

    The Last of Us Part I Firefly Edition (PC) Now Available for Pre-Order ($99.99)

    So for an extra $30 on top an already stupid $70 you get a steel case and a few comics? That seems excessive even for Sony

    Ubisoft Signs Deal with Police to Tackle Toxic Gaming

    If a law is being broken this makes sense but I don't see how local jurisdiction would matter unless the game is region-locked. Toxicity is bad and depending on the severity should result in a permanent ban but I don't understand this. Maybe it has to do with swatting and they just didn't want...

    GeForce RTX 4090 Owner Sues NVIDIA Over Melted 16-Pin Connector

    Who would be getting investigated, PCI SIG? I don't know where you are getting fed info from but the jump to conclusions mat isn't a good idea

    GeForce RTX 4090 Owner Sues NVIDIA Over Melted 16-Pin Connector

    GN cut off all but 2 12V pins and ran it at 600 watts and had no issue A single pin can likely handle 600 watts as per GN (but they did not test) This spec has a lot of safety margin regarding the amount of current it can handle Just needs to be plugged in

    Gainward Delays GeForce RTX 4090 Shipments, 12VHPWR Adapter Cables Must Be Replaced: “Affects Every Card in the Market”

    Fix what exactly? There is no engineering or technical reason as to why the melting is occurring. Trying to cause melting has been unsuccessful within spec (600w) even by breaking/damaging the connector/adapter Hopefully Gamer's Nexus can find out what's causing it with them gathering as many...

    AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX Matches NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 in Cyberpunk 2077 and Metro Exodus 4K Benchmarks, Comes Close in Watch Dogs: Legion

    I'd recommend holding off on any new Samsung monitors until they have gone through extensive testing A lot of their high-end monitors have had issues

    NVIDIA is holding back a fully unlocked chip which should bring ~10% more performance I'm not saying that AMD has a bad product - far from it. Just that NVIDIA has no competition on the 'gaming crown'. That is why I'm disappointed. The 6900XT and 6950XT were competitive with the 3090/TI and...

    At 4K the 4090 is beating the 7900XTX in Watch Dogs Legion without RT according to the numbers AMD provided and that is a pretty AMD favored title Also the 4090 appears to match the 7900XTX in CoD MW2 and that is heavily AMD favored This is a disappointing generation for top end performance for...

    NVIDIA AIC Partners Asked to Collect RTX 4090 Cards Affected by Melted 16-Pin Power Connectors

    I would bet that NVIDIA/AIBs will send out replacement squids free of cost to the end user (all covered by NVIDIA) The big question for me is how fast can they re-engineer the squid and produce it to the quantity needed for the replacements & new shipments

    NVIDIA AIC Partners Asked to Collect RTX 4090 Cards Affected by Melted 16-Pin Power Connectors

    The air temp of really bad airflow cases can easily be higher than 120F so that seems like a non-issue (in that specific case) Edit --- According to experts the connectors should be good to 105C so yeah that is more than fine

    USB4 Version 2.0 Could Support Up to 120 Gbps Asymmetric Data Transfer Speeds

    Not well The current iteration is 40gbps and it still has massive problems with stuttering from every review I've watched on it This new standard is 40 symmetric and 80 asymmetric, it should 'fix' it Not apples to apples but a good comparison of the limits of 40gbps thunderbolt -

    USB4 Version 2.0 Could Support Up to 120 Gbps Asymmetric Data Transfer Speeds

    This is PCIe 3.0 x16 speeds If the latency is good this could be the fix for external GPUs not counting Asus's incredibly expensive proprietary solution
