    Louis Rossman receives 3 strikes for promoting new open source app that threatens youtube's monopoly

    dogbone getting destroyed lol. He has absolutely no idea who Louis Rossman is and how important he is for us consumers who love electronics and DIY. Many ignorance, much wow. Going after beloved members of the community is not a good look for YT.

    New Unity pricing

    Wow. Why would they do this? Aren't they losing ground left and right to UE5 already? Its like they are speedrunning their way to get everyone to leave Unity and have no income at all

    Jedi Survivor is the best showcase of a looming problem for PC players

    Dang a 4090 struggling? Not having DLSS is not great but FSR2 is an ok alternative that works good enough. (I personally don't care about upscaling or nitpicking between the two) Missing Ray tracing features sounds like a necessity if a 4090 is already struggling lol. 155GB install, sadly par...

    AMD vs Intel: Which CPUs Are Better

    I count 19 motherboards at less than $200. Took me less than 5 mins. Not everything needs x670... Also, at least at the high end, Intel using double the power or more is embarrassing. If you want the "best" CPU, I think what brand you go with depends more on the amount of money you have to...

    "How We Test: CPU Benchmarks, Misconceptions Explained", aka "why you don't want to be GPU-limited when doing CPU testing"

    I mean $800 GPUs are "mid-range" now. I think its still crazy that $800 GPUs even exist, let alone $1600 ones...

    "How We Test: CPU Benchmarks, Misconceptions Explained", aka "why you don't want to be GPU-limited when doing CPU testing"

    I guess people don't like the idea of using a traditionally "GPU benchmark", changing up the settings, and using it as a CPU benchmark.

    The Windows Scheduler has some flaws, its not terrible by any means, but I wouldn't describe it as "really good", as prioritizing foreground apps should be one of the most simple things for a scheduler to do and is a low bar to hit. I don't play games much these days, but I do like to run a lot...

    "How We Test: CPU Benchmarks, Misconceptions Explained", aka "why you don't want to be GPU-limited when doing CPU testing"

    If by tangible FPS differences, you mean better lows, then yes. Less so if you have CPU to spare Helps especially for borderline CPU bottlenecked setups. See the Steam Deck with Windows for example...

    I also want to leave this here: One thing that an alarmingly large number of users forget (even me), is that these reviewers are running "lean" "barebones" windows installs. Just enough software to run the games and capture the data they need. How many of us keep our systems that lean??? How...

    So for gaming, why does anyone spend more that what a 3600 costs??? You get 94.5% perf of the latest 13900k. /s Also I would love to see a Quake3 bench lol

    10+ more FPS compared to what? 120? The user in question is at 75hz, unless its less than 75FPS then there isn't that much to gain. (there are SOME benefits to higher fps than monitors refresh though if you are a competitive gamer though... ) The user is clearly fine with a hypothetical i3, so...

    "How We Test: CPU Benchmarks, Misconceptions Explained", aka "why you don't want to be GPU-limited when doing CPU testing"

    Well, it won't take much to run 4K 75hz if you're only into gaming. You can get that FPS with a i3, no sense spending more for no benefit, but i'm guessing you have something better than that...

    "How We Test: CPU Benchmarks, Misconceptions Explained", aka "why you don't want to be GPU-limited when doing CPU testing"

    I think we are just having a hard time understanding your opinion on this topic as you disagree with not just HUB, but the entire hardware review media, for gaming focused audiences. It doesn't make sense to skip the "gaming" portions of CPU reviews as that is just more data to backup whether...

    "How We Test: CPU Benchmarks, Misconceptions Explained", aka "why you don't want to be GPU-limited when doing CPU testing"

    I guess you entirely miss the point of testing games at low resolutions then. The entire point is to isolate CPU performance. It is not a "game benchmark". Think of it as a "CPU benchmark" like Cinebench R23 and such. Because "games" are tested in CPU reviews, people get all up in arms about...

    Crypto Miners Paint GDDR Memory Chips to Hide Wear and Tear

    LOL! I resorted to baking a 7950GTX two seperate times. Each lasting about 6 months.
