I hope they keep improving, the latest Zen chips are having a hard time hitting the advertised boost clocks but are close to to intel. The thing is if you only game at 1080p with a 2080Ti and want over 200FPS for your Pro FPS aspirations then you need the performance a 9900KS brings. If you are...

The cost at this point to create physical media is minimal and these companies are creating streaming services to supplement and hedge the market. Of course they would all like us to do a subscription and stream their movies but a fair number of people won't do that. It's already getting too...

It's because you likely have not experienced better or simply don't care to have better. Watching a 55" TV from 12' away you may not notice the artifacting or black crush that many streams have or just don't care. Sit closer or with a larger screen and it's painfully obvious. I find Netflix...

I think it's great, it's gonna be 90 muther F%$^ing degrees tomorrow....and it's go the F&*k to sleep that's what time is.

While I think most of us would like to see AMD compete like for like with NVIDIA they don't have to to make a profit. They can own the low-mid tier and still be successful. Big Navi is not remotely DOA without RT. The only way a 2080ti competitor (if they can even make one) is DOA is if it...

AMD if they release a 2080Ti equivalent will need to price it under Nvidia for a number of reasons. One the 2080Ti has been out a while already so they are late to the game. Two it will not have Ray Tracing; even if that isn't a big draw now you don't pay similar money from the smaller company...

AMD can't charge $1,200 for a comparable 2080Ti card for two reasons; 1. RTX, at the same price and performance you will get the card with added features (just in case) 2. Brand, NVidia is the bigger player and at the same price you don't go with the smaller company. To beat a larger and more...

5500, 5600, 5800 and 5900 is what I'd expect over the course of the next 12 months. I think they need to do the 5800/5900 first as they have a shorter window to be near or on par with a 2080Ti than a 1660. No one really expects AMD to compete head to head with Nvidia's best when Nvidia releases...

During the Q/A session, the question was raised about the high-end 7nm Navi graphics cards and 7nm mobility processors to which AMD’s CEO, Dr.Lisa Su, replied that they are indeed coming. https://wccftech.com/amd-ceo-7nm-navi-high-end-graphics-cards-and-4th-gen-ryzen-cpus/ Original Source...

I see it as a good thing; overclockers and still fiddle with the bios and cooling and squeeze out a bit more performance. The rest of us can just build a system with good cooling knowing we are getting the most out of our purchase with no extra effort.

Speculative but highly logical that we will see 5600, 5800 and perhaps 5900 & 5500 SKU's over the next 6 months. You don't just launch 2 SKU's on a whole new architecture.

Some decent deals on smart home stuff, I picked up a couple of Hue BR30 lights for my theater. Upcoming light deal on a Crucial 500 2tb SSD some may want to watch to see what price it goes for.

AMD has finally put out a competitive card at the same price point as Nvidia. The reason the Super's even exist at this time is likely due to that competition, even if you are a fan boy of Nvdia (which I can't understand being a brand fan boy) you should support AMD (as long as this is the price...

2070 Super is $500 the 5700XT competes with the 2060 super

These are mid-tier cards as they were intended to be. The vast majority of people do not buy at the top of the stack. If you are [H]ard Supreme then by all means grab dual 20180Ti's and go nuts. I have a 1070, I was never going to spend the money for a 1080 or 1080Ti. Same with 2080/2080Ti...
