I was mostly referring to the Hardware Unboxed issue where they asked for sampled low end z490 boards and were denied the request. They went out and bought the boards and the boards couldn't even handle a 10900K and got them blacklisted.

Loved the first podcast. Great PCPer vibes which adds another podcast to the watch/listen list.

Very strange that they would partner with a motherboard maker that knowingly puts out motherboards so bad they won't send them to reviewers.

I ran some benchmarks with my 3090 FE for BL3 badass 4k and got 69.5 stock and 74.75 overclocked If RDNA2 overclocks well (and scales well with the OC), it should be very competitive in straight rasterization

I was under the understanding that process nodes were incompatible and would require a complete(ish) redesign to be moved over. I think this is more likely for mobile 30 series.

Reviewer(s) puts console in enclosed cabinet and then wonders why it's hot.

5800X is pushing it as the 3800X was already too much for 8 cores. At this pricing for gaming only, it makes more sense to go Intel as they are at least getting another upgrade on the same chipset... I mean the 5900X and 5600X are fine pricing-wise vs Intel but I do not get the 5800X pricing.

The first retail expansion for the XBSX is 1TB for ~$220 which is pretty much standard for PCIe 4.0 drives.

I'm concerned about the liquid metal and how it will age.

I 100% agree that it is on NVIDIA for not gathering supply up for months before launch but you can't blame it on knowledge of previous launches. NVIDIA has more supply than the 20 series and the 20 series didn't have this demand issue. They expected and supplied more than the 20 series and the...

Console sales will be in the millions in the first few months but really can't be compared to $700+ and $1500+ graphics cards. There is more supply than 20 series cards and way more demand. I don't remember anywhere the outrage when you couldn't buy a 3900X for months. The 30 series hasn't...

From what I understand, they have sold 10s of thousands of 30 series cards and it seems to many like they have sold none as they sell out instantly. It is insane that demand is so incredibly high right now. And it isn't even 30 series cards. It is a seller's market right now.

I feel this is more of a limit peaks issue than a 'throttle' issue. Likely a combination of Boost 5.0 and the slightly worse power delivery. I expect to see negligible performance difference from the change except increased stability for those that were having issues.

If this is true, it looks like up to double the performance of the 5700XT which is a very large leap for AMD. Should trade blows with the 3080 if everything scales well.

I trust that the official reference design is the XC3 Black which is mixed. I believe this issue is likely a case of AIBs cheaping out on components/design. Hopefully a new vbios can fix it.

There are rendering techniques I hope they implement to optimize things but I'm glad they are releasing a mode that will push hardware to the breaking point just because. DLSS should also be killer when it's in.

I installed Fortnite to look into the card and it's barely anything. No heatpipes, etc. Just fins, shroud, fans, and a backplate.

Really the only thing that can be assumed about AMD's new GPUs is their stated 50% performance per watt improvement. Unless they are underselling RDNA2 to their investors (I highly doubt it), performance can be inferred from that. The only unknowns are how well it scales and how much power...

It depends on the rest of the system. If the 3090 is 350W stock, overclocked it will likely be able to use 20%-30% more So just the GPU using up to 450 watts in that scenario.
