This new connector is NEVER going to work...If it's just a single connector on the GPU. Needs two.

I like to mess with Unreal Engine. It can peg my 5950x at 100% for a solid 15 mins compiling shaders opening up a new project. (much different than compiling shaders for a packaged game) I also develop some of my own multithreaded apps, which can also peg my 5950x doing tons of work. If I had...

"one" means singular, (your words). Having 6 bad driver releases in a row disqualifies you from using the words "one patch". In my opinion, this is also beyond "rough spot" territory... We are at 4 months. In all the GPUs I've had: -7950GTX -8400m GS -8800m GTX -GTX 850m -GTX 980m -GTX1050m...

interesting, i'll keep that in mind!

I mostly used PGA AMD chips. The first LGA chip I installed (13700k), I tried to be very careful with the motherboard socket while installing the CPU. While setting down the CPU on the socket, I managed to not align it exactly right (much like the picture in OP), so of course I go to pick up...

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.

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

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...

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...

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

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...

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
