I'm in my tier list making phase, so I did it for all the CPUs I owned and used in my primary desktop PC: The tiers are not necessarily based on the intrinsic quality of the CPUs, but on how they performed compared to my expectations based on the investment. In brackets I included the clock...

Simple question, does such a card exist? And if not, is it worth upgrading from a 2080Ti to a 4070? I'm not sure, and I did not find any benchmarks that offered a direct comparison on how much of an improvement that would be. I'm deliberately not considering the 4070Ti, as I find the price...

My sim racing seat and wheel has been sitting unused since last December when I sold the PS4 Pro and GT7 from under it. But now that I replaced my aging TV I also have a spare TV, so the opportunity is given to set up a sim racing rig in one corner using a spare PC. The target is sim racing...

Suddenly a ton of very old reviews appeared in the news discussion as if they were just posted, pushing actual news out of the first page, what happened?

I just discovered this game, and I thought it looked cool. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/primalgs/mandragora/ It's made by a local business, so I wanted to show some support by mentioning it.

A few years ago when I upgraded from X79 to X99, I got stuck with my CPU, nobody would buy it, so I ordered a cheap chinese board for it to play around with. I even managed to get some overclocking unlocked on it, but this thing barely held together at stock clocks. Anyway a few days ago I...

I've been thinking of upgrading the CPU in my home server for a while, and for this purpose I'd need the most power efficient setup possible. The computer is basically idle most of the time with a few services running in the background. What would do this with the least power consumption...

I've been playing GT7 on and off since its release, anyone else playing it? I wrote a synopsis on the initial experience: GT7 Week one

I was somewhat excited for this game, but yesterday saw some streamer play it, and I was shocked how dull and generic it looks. It's as if they thrown out everything that made the first game unique and replaced it with elements from Tomb Raider and Uncharted. So much so that some mechanics are...

Just as the release cycle of games slowed down (cash grabs like FIFA and co. notwithstanding) the upgrade cycle seems to have gone through a similar transition from the dawn of the millennia into the second decade. But how much did it change? I've started recording my HW upgrades a few years...

http://madblog.shacknet.us/2021-the-year-in-gaming/ What do you think? Was this the worst year of gaming?

I've been occasionally checking availability of the cards just for kicks. And until now they were almost completely MIA, one or two examples showing up for a day or two from single retailers at exorbitant prices. I've checked again today and now there is a decent selection of all 3000 series...

If would be nice to be able to turn off the profanity filter on a per user level. I understand its necessity since comments do appear on the mine page, but it would be great if the less sensitive folk who is viewing from the forum could see through the **********************

**** NZXT! I knew their products were garbage, but this is beyond even my worst fears. I've been reluctantly using a Grid+ V3 fan controller. Reluctantly because it was garbage to begin with, not supporting any reasonably sized fans, only working with low power draw, weak fans. And their...

I don't know anything apart from 3DMark. We used to have unigine heaven and valley and a bunch of others in the past, is there something newer that's worth a try on modern systems?

Any tips? Currently the only game I have on my radar is outriders. But it seems like an anthem clone, which makes me uncertain about it.

It's one of the best games from recent times, I've clocked more than 1200 hours on it, which is about 10x more than anything else from the same period. https://store.steampowered.com/app/268500/XCOM_2/ Don't worry about the DLCs not being included, there is plenty of content in the vanilla...

If you liked odyssey, you'll probably like this too. full review link

Brilliant, right? Until you realize the way they did is by asking scalper prices themselves. You want a 3090? They start at $2500 You want a 3080? That'll be $1500 thank you very much.
