Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

"Without naming any future processor generation or architecture, AMD announced that AM5 will have platform longevity until 2029. This suggests the introduction of at least one more microarchitecture, "Zen 6," and the product lines derived from... -
BBalkroth replied to the thread DRAM Pricing Jumps 50%, Only 70% of Orders Getting Filled.Well that stinks, I liked their stuff overall, but it makes some sense for them to do this. I'm glad at least some of their stuff is going to continue to be produced, I've had a PineTime since a few months after release, it's nice if you desire a...

BBalkroth replied to the thread Data center in Space.I believe there's been some trials and people have offered it for some in the future (along with a "refuelling" possibility), but I don't think there's been a real service launch so far for it.

The inability of it to match other PCs is the biggest issue to me. Like I get it: Consoles are subsidized and Valve doesn't want to do that. You can argue they should, I mean Steam takes a big cut, maybe they should subsidize it with that but it...

BBalkroth replied to the thread Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller.I can personally say, people like toys. I don't expect me to prefer gaming on it over my main (9700xsd + 5090) or my backup ( might be close, 5900xt plus B580). It's just a thing that is fascinating ( I actually bought a BC-250 and it's running...

BBalkroth replied to the thread Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller.Welp just got my email to buy one. No reason to, but probably going to because, well why not.

BUm, he did include a performance/$. In terms of cost, Graviton5 doesn't even beat Graviton4, let alone EPYC. It beat Graviton5 by quiet a bit. AMD's Zen6 based EPYC is just going to beat that horse even more so.

BBalkroth replied to the thread [DEAD] HOT $479 PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE Reaper @Microcenter brick and mortar.I was tempted to post this when I found it one or two days ago, I think that's probably the price it should have been launched at (or around there) . I think it's a good price for the card.

Microcenter has a PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE Reaper for $479. I consider this a hot deal compared to the $430-$440 price for a 9060XT 16GB.

BBalkroth reacted to DukenukemX's post in the thread Playstation single player games will no longer be ported to PC with Like.
I doubt entirely with AI prompts, but maybe some? Most likely it's the result of ShadPS4 which has done a lot of work to get PS4 emulation working. As we know, the PS5 is also an x86 machine running a GCN based GPU, much like the PS4. The PS5...

BYes, a cable that looks like it's basically been completely melted internally at this point... isn't fully seated. And you're just assuming that they didn't try to pull it out or something to inspect it, and that's why that gap is there. Nope...

The objective of a review is to compare the performance of the part. 4K results don't do this for CPUs because the GPU is the limiting factor. It's a pointless comparison if you're trying to establish which part is better overall. That's the...

I spend a lot of money on my toys (bicycles, motorcycles, 3d printing, etc) ... but that's because my house is paid off and I don't have kids. Win-Win.
