Yeah, Microsoft. Walks off in disgust with head held low.

Not really wrong there when it comes to gaming. Yeah, I like my AM5/9800X3D build which does have a PCIe 5.0 NVME drive and 6400 MT/s DDR5 and there are some improvements compared to my AM4/5800X3D setup w/ DDR4 3600 MT/s, even at 1440p/4K, but not enough for me jump up and down about. However...

New reports suggest Micron may no longer produce 2GB GDDR7 modules, which could mean it will shift to offering only 3GB GDDR7 kits from now on. As spotted by UNIKO’s Hardware (via VideoCardz), the 2GB GDDR7 D8FHL module has been widely used with many of NVIDIA’s more budget-friendly desktop...

“Animate the cage, not the dense geometry,” says AMD as it demos its new tetrahedral cage representation, which can reduce a specific type of memory usage by up to 47x when using ray tracing. Ever wondered what BVHG is? Well, unless you work in video game design or some rendering-related field...

The only real difference I've noticed, and perhaps not due to it specifically, is that for some reason it typically wants to clock 100-200 MHz higher and so warms up a little bit more. Both are in same type cases w/ same Thermaltake Toughpower SFX Form Factor 1000W 80+ Platinum PSUs but...

Yep, whether here, or in NV CP, or optiscaler, I set FPS limits all the time now. I do power limiting here, I believe under the system tab but also in MSI AB where I also have a custom power curve set.

I went with 70% power limit and an undervolt that averages around 0.895V which allows my Zotac TUF hit 2400-2650 MHz, and a little lower, usually around 2400-2525 MHz, for my MSI 5090, (I'm pulling those from memory so not exact but in the right area) but both have VRAM at 14.5 GHz (29). There's...

Personally I think the biggest problem is that NVIDIA's power profiles are inherently self-destructive for these cards and made just so folks can brag about GPU speeds and it only gets worse when folks use something like DLSS 5 which w/o proper configuration is going to hammer the card and...

AMD may not have officially revealed any RDNA 5 discrete GPUs yet, but that isn’t stopping the manufacturer from preparing driver support for them. AMD currently uses GDDR6 memory for its Radeon RX 9000 series GPUs but is expected to move to GDDR7 with RDNA 5; while there’s no confirmed launch...

Rockstar Games has unceremoniously released a new set of guidelines for the modding community detailing what it will or will not allow be done to its games. The publisher has obviously strategically decided to roll out the new rules regarding game mods ahead of its behemoth launch for Grand...

Yep, those were my impressions as well given details on the game's official page.

Yeah, AMD's GPU division really needs to get its act together but at this point no one really seems concerned with competing in the consumer market while the AI cash cow is at work. Meanwhile, and I've only minimally posted about it, AMD has risen GPU prices and I've read in various places it...

So a little update here. Well, I got a new display this weekend and as hoped, it's been a game changer with this. Here's a breakdown of the changes now that I'm working with a slightly lower resolution of 3440x1440 vs 3840x2160 which is 3,340,800 less pixels having to render but for the record...

Got lucky and I've got a 1TB version on the way.

Marvel’s Wolverine is proving far more successful than many expected, despite the underwhelming launch reviews from players and reviewers alike. Insomniac Games has already established itself in creating a Spider-Man franchise with its three games, but Wolverine is its first venture into...

Those hoping to see NVIDIA launch its next series of graphics cards are probably in for a longer wait than expected, since the latest rumors are pointing to a 2028 release date. Two well-known industry insiders, Kepler_L2 and kopite7kimi, are in agreement that NVIDIA’s RTX Rubin GPUs are not set...

I got it over the weekend and will post more about it later but so far, very happy, and I feel a huge bang for the buck.

oops forgot to mention, MFGx3. I never use x4, too much visual distortion when turning quickly or running.

Tested this briefly, seriously maybe 10 minutes during the open scene, last night using DLAA and at 4K, w/ a 5090, max settings, avg 50-60 FPS, GPU TDP ~400W (using undervolt/power limits), switched to DLSS performance and jumped to 120+ with power dropping to ~320-350W.

Yeah, I'd love something like this for the office. I repurposed my 49" CRG9 for it a few years back and that has been awesome and I really can't emphasize that enough but something like this would further refine on that experience. I'm so used to it for work now that anytime I have to be...
