    Sony Issues Email to PS4 Owners Urging Them to Upgrade to a PlayStation 5 Before GTA6 Launches

    I think this is Sony saying, "Hey, giving you people the heads up now. Don't blame us later if prices double or demand outstrips supply". In these times, seems like they are kinda doing the right thing for their loyal fanbase. Even better would've been a $50 coupon code.

    Don’t Expect DDR5 to Go Anywhere Anytime Soon, as DDR6 Isn’t Planned to Arrive for Commercial Applications Until 2028

    Yeah after my friend took his Playstation back, Connectix Virtual Game Station was how I cured my Gran Turismo fix for a long time. Amazing piece of software and sucks that it failed otherwise those guys were at the top of their game to be able to emulate a whole system so faithfully with such a...

    Don’t Expect DDR5 to Go Anywhere Anytime Soon, as DDR6 Isn’t Planned to Arrive for Commercial Applications Until 2028

    Didn't have the console but I had a Atari home computer which could play cartridges. But judging from my experiences, the first real console for me was the Playstation because for the first time ever, a console brought gaming experiences superior to any PC of the time. There just wasn't anything...

    level1tech watching three ASROCK AM5 mobos like a hawk!

    I feel there's something that someone isn't telling us. AMD or ASROCK or the users themselves. I'm suspecting it has something to do with PBO and "optimum" settings which include overvolting voltages like VDDG to get FCLK 2200 working. I also see people commonly using 10X scalar which is just a...

    Don’t Expect DDR5 to Go Anywhere Anytime Soon, as DDR6 Isn’t Planned to Arrive for Commercial Applications Until 2028

    My first GPU was Voodoo3 3000 AGP. And I couldn't afford it but somehow I got the money for it as a gift from my dear mom and I splurged on that GPU. It served me for two or three years minimum. Next one was Geforce 2 MX 400. Again, a miracle that I got it. And then again, Radeon 9500 (or 9550...

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

    SLI had microstuttering issues. I think (not sure though) that DX12 solves that.

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

    https://www.maxsun.com/products/intel-arc-pro-b60-dual-48g-turbo Shouldn't be a big deal to get at least 50% uplift from the 2nd GPU since DX12 natively supports multi-GPU rendering, even with different vendor cards.

    Head on over to Anandtech FS/FT forums. Some kits on sale there. May make sense for you.

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

    Were it not for their self inflicted castration in consumer and server CPUs, they would've had the money to fight their competitors with dual GPU cards or bigger dies fabbed in their own fabs for maximum profitability. Imagine the clocks they could've achieved with their traditional DTCO synergy...

    Trends from the April 2026 Steam Hardware Survey

    For something like real world surveys involving random people on the street, that works well due to the time and cost involved but the Steam survey is completely digital. Valve can certainly absorb the storage and compute costs of doing a more extensive survey. If the AMD/Intel hardware...

    Trends from the April 2026 Steam Hardware Survey

    For me it is. At least they should include a menu option in Steam so the user can participate instead of being invited randomly to take the survey. Radeon users reporting that they aren't presented with the survey is suspicious as hell.

    Windows 26H1 now available

    https://www.sendgb.com/upload/?utm_source=GmJyPDn9WgM Apparently, Microsoft lied that this version is only for Snapdragon X2 and Nvidia N1X. Installed just fine for me. Upgraded from 24H2 to 26H1 and performance seems to be similar.

    Trends from the April 2026 Steam Hardware Survey

    I don't understand the survey approach. Why not just collect system info during idle periods, keep a unique system fingerprint in their database against each Steam username (store multiple fingerprints if the user has multiple machines) and publish the survey using that data without sharing any...

    007 First Light - Game looks gorgeous!

    Looking forward particularly to playing these two sequences: Oh, don't be such a graphics snob :P The varied environments are a big improvement over the same-y art design of something like CP2077 or GTA5. Yes, this isn't an open world game which is a good thing.
