Introduction Wouldn’t it be interesting to see what kind of an upgrade the Ryzen 7 9800X3D would be over a Ryzen 7 7700X3D in 2026? We thought so too. With the recent launch of the Ryzen 7 7700X3D in July of 2026, we wanted to know what the gaming performance difference is between this Zen […]...

ASRock has a PSU thing that's supposed to shut down (built-in NTC thermal protection sensor), but didn't protect, Buildzoid has a video about it, that's how I found it here's another article...

another one bites the dust, this time an RTX 6000 Pro GPU, ouch

Interestingly, NVIDIA recommends Path Tracing as an input into DLSS 5 for the best image quality. So I don't think DLSS 5 is meant to replace Path Tracing or better lighting technologies in games. Rather, as a companion to them. With better inputs, you get better DLSS 5 quality outputs...

So we have gone from faking lighting with baked in lighting, to wanting real Ray Tracing, to wanting real Path Tracing, to wanting non-rasterized games, to now coming back to not wanting any of that at all but faking the lighting again? Full circle? How strange to me.

With MS I've learned that they are all talk, little action or care.

I wouldn't say that, and do not imply that, it is not the same thing. Path Tracing would replace the way games are lit, and for the better. If you make the game Path Traced natively (read: Not Rasterized), then you don't need any baked-in lighting at all, the entire game would naturally have...

It burns there as well. In HUB's instance, the melting was at the power supply side. They had to replace the PSU in their case, not the video card, but had they left it running in that scenerio, it would have eventually burned the GPU side as well, but they caught it in time. Because...

I am also a person that watches game Let's Plays. As I do movie reactions, and TV show reactions. Heck, I do my own game Let's Plays/Playthrough videos, I've done a lot on my channel :P So I'm all in on it lol

Soldering would fix the resistance issue, right, but what about the voltage imbalance between pins, it wouldn't fix that would it? I would think some kind of hardware would be needed on the PCB to regulate the voltage per-pin, IIRC NVIDIA removed this hardware function.

I disagree that DLSS 5 is "free" in terms of dev time. In fact, developers have the ability to apply DLSS 5 per-object, applying more or less DLSS 5 to foreground objects, background objects, NPCs, and basically well anything in the frame...

Thank you for the very long feedback! I enjoy your opinions, and everyone chiming in on this topic. I wanted to address specifically this one, just to clarify my opinion a bit more, which I didn't flesh out with enough detail in the video. Specifically, in regards to the better rendering of...

I did have an outline of notes I wanted to discuss, but I wasn't reading a script or word for word, it was truly a free form of thoughts, I just had an outline of the numbered points so I could remember :p But feedback noted, I could make the transistions between topics smoother.

I think, it was a drive toward rushing the standard, to be able to deliver what NVIDIA wanted at the time. It was pushed out too fast to fit a demand, and wasn't ready. Perhaps wasn't even the only design on the table, but just the first one they went with, given a time constraint. Just my...

DLSS 5 3D-Guided Neural Rendering launched recently, with official support in NBA 2K27. There have been a lot of official performance reviews of DLSS 5, image quality reviews, and even modders adding unofficial support to a lot of games, showing off its IQ, performance, and capabilities. I...

Introduction Let’s take a look at how the new AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D CPU (released in 2026) compares to its bigger brother, the higher-clocked AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU. That’s right, AMD has released a new AM5 Zen 4 CPU in 2026, and it is the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D, based on AMD’s 3D V-Cache […] See...

And here we thought leaf blower GeForce FX 5800's were a problem. We had no idea how good we had it.

I don't even have words, really. I can't articulate a response even.

I have also heard from rumor mill sites mid 2027, we'll see I guess. I have no info.
