I saw a recent preview of the upcoming Sony FALD where they show just the backlight in action compared to their best previous model and it’s so obvious how much more accurate the new implementation is. There’s still a lot of room for improvement...

Reality check: The article linked by TomsHardware is a Chinese news article, written in China. So if you are claiming that Chinese newspapers are writing articles pushing pro-US, anti-China propaganda, I'd say that's pretty unlikely... or an...

I remember when people kept on saying that the 4090 will launch at >$2000 MSRP and it actually ended up at $1599 MSRP. We'll see how the MSRP goes with the 5090. I'm guessing it won't even reach $2K.

I had motherboard and case compatibility issues with the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360. I had no such issues with the EK Nucleus 360 AIO.

I returned my Arctic LF3 and got the 360 EK Nucleus. Also bought 3 Phanteks T30 fans to run a push/pull setup on the EK.

I think the EK Nucleas has the best performance on top of the charts.

At home, I watch HDR and DV content on my 48" LG C1 600nit OLED (calibrated with Calman for LG Home). When I'm on the go, I watch HDR and DV content on my MacBook Pro 14" 1600nit miniLED and the latter is very good. I also don't notice blooming...

8800gt because it was the card that allowed me to enjoy Crysis, Far Cry 2, Modern Warfare and cemented my love for pc gaming. 😀

I am running both an Intel 13600K and a 14600K and I'm usually an i7 or i9 guy, but the i5's are the way to go for gaming to be honest. I use the 14600K with a 4090 at 4K and the 13600K at 1440P with a 4080, and they run cooler and are just a few...

I would also look at the 14600k, under 100 watt when gaming so perfectly manageable, cheaper, etc... even with a 4090 you would get around 95% of the gaming performance at 1440p, with a 4070ti must be quite close in many case. For the when 15th...

My personal favorite? The nVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB. It was the first GPU that allowed me to turn everything to max settings in the shader model 3 era. And it was the last enthusiast grade single-slot GPU from nVIDIA. Apologies if I've...

I just got my oled ultrawide for work. I don't get all the talk about deep blacks for games. What games are you guys playing that have considerable amounts of color #000000? Don't get me wrong, I like mine a lot, but the black really pops using...

Not caring about RT is a legitimate stance for anyone to have. BUT I enjoy being able to use it when it's there and RDNA3 not really allowing me to legitimately use it any more than my 2 gen old Turing card did is just a bit disappointing. It was...

As someone who's had a 7900XT for a little over a month now I wish I would have returned it and gone with a 4070TiS or splurged for a 4080S. The AMD GPU is fine until you decide to max a game's settings only to find it has RT and you're reduced...

Clickbait-slime is the only thing keeping the lights on for a lot of these tech sites. Nvidia drivers aren't infallible, but all the other systems at the tourney were on identical hardware including GPU. If anything, people jumping up and down...

Not built into MPC-HC proper, but this: https://www.videohelp.com/software/MPC-Video-Renderer Feels like that's what the team working on the project are endorsing these days, though. Every time they release a new version of MPC-HC they also post...

Support is already built-in? No more need for the emoose rtx videorenderer for MPC-HC?

One could also use NTFS which is natively supported on Windows and Linux (kernel-based now). For all the positives about ZFS there are also downsides that don't usually get mentioned. (I realize though the OP is the author of a ZFS front-end so...
