    New NVIDIA control panel now in beta

    No. The functionality of both apps (Control Panel + GFE) is eventually going to be all in this one app, but at the moment, while the app is basically feature complete to supplant GFE, the control panel stuff is still being added in, and that's why you can still access the classic one, in case...

    AMD finally updating the FreeSync spec

    Given that this isn't a change that's going to retroactively strip FSync compatibility out of existing budget displays, I don't see what the big deal is. This is a branding issue more than anything, because there are a lot of terrible "gaming" displays that try to leech off of AMD's image by...

    AMD finally updating the FreeSync spec

    You mean this one? It shows very clearly right there, less than 3440 res: max refresh equal to or greater than 144Hz.

    AMD finally updating the FreeSync spec

    Any TV that is any good for gaming isn't going to be lower than UHD resolution in the first place, because TV manufacturers don't care at all about making sub-UHD displays with good total latency and panel response times.

    Best card for my htpc/vrpc setup? (4k 120hz)

    It's a good thing you already made the correct decision, because one thing that a lot of people seem to forget is that, when it comes to VR performance, Nvidia is still the best choice. AMD has been playing catch-up on that end pretty much since the inception of the VR consumer market, so much...

    What Mouse and Keyboard Are You Using Right Now?

    GMK caps aren't cheap raw ABS like the noname chinese brands you'll find all over the place. While I also agree that their pricing is wild and wouldn't pay for caps that cost as much as a whole decent keyboard, I wouldn't compare their quality and durability to the cheap stuff. I've only ever...

    WTB: Found

    Pretty sure I have a spare one sitting on a parts shelf, will double check and let you know when I get home, if you haven't found one by then.

    What is "Wall Mountable" ?????????????????????????????

    Because it doesn't need to be said; VESA mounting has been the standard in the consumer space for a long time, and nobody's changed things up, so it's become synonymous with "wall mount". The most common sizes on sub-40" displays are 75x75mm and 100x100mm. You can also buy adapter plates to...

    Do I have a cooling issue? Solid fan cooler for everyday use?

    The first thing you need to do with an AIO that's been sitting around unused for a long time is to shake it around and bit and have it run with the radiator above the pump, preferably with the ports facing downwards so that the air in the system will work its way out of the pump/lines and...

    Fan for chipset on Asus Tuf Z97 Mark 2

    That fan is for the PLX switch chip if I'm not mistaken. A poor design choice just because they wanted to have that cover plate over the board, and without enough airflow, those chips run pretty hot. Most boards that used them would just have them heatsunk via a heatpipe that ran across the VRMs...

    PNY RTX 4090 Verto - Included 12VHPWR Adapter / Wireview?

    PNY is generally fairly trustworthy when it comes to the quality of their products, even if they're pretty barebones compared to the more expensive brands. I'm not sure if they still do this, but they are/were the OEM for several of nvidia's reference GPUs and professional cards (e.g. Quadros)...

    Most demanding game right now in 2023 ?

    Darktide at max RT settings on the highest difficulty also makes any system sweat, both CPU and GPU.

    Grinding noise coming from my GPU

    Looks like those evga cards use the standard micro 4pin, so you can just use one of these cables to attaoh whatever fans you want to the heatsink. Dealing with GPU fan failures really isn't a big deal unless you absolutely want to keep the card in OEM configuration for warranty/resale, or you...
