In the end all we are doing is encouraging domestic production in China which will actually hurt more for the west in the long run.

7900xtx owner here. Power Color branded reference card. 850 watt seasonic ps. Only experience coil wine on Unity game menus where the devs forget to cap the frame rate. Had this same issues with my 1080Ti Asus for what it’s worth.

And even if you “bought” your digital copy of your favorite movie or game, you still don’t own it in perpetuity. They can, will and have removed titles “bought” on platforms. This is a space that needs some additional consumer protection.

You will eat bugs and ride in cattle car public transportation while your self identify “betters” will fly private to Davos to safe the world from “climate change”.

The only time I’ve encountered coil whine outside of a someone’s house having bad wiring or a shoddy power supply is when a game menu runs at an uncapped frame rate. I’ve never experienced it when actually gaming. Guess I am lucky.

“When taking the geometric mean of all 370 benchmark results, the Ryzen 7 7840U enjoyed a 28% lead over the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H in these Linux CPU performance benchmarks. This was all the while the Ryzen 7 7840U was delivering similar or lower power consumption than the Core Ultra 7 155H...

I thinking quoting the entire article is a bit extreme and not exactly fair use. Clip a paragraph or two and a screen grab. Then put the link to the actual article.

What does it say that more than three years after the Xbox / PS5 that ~40% of the market is using Pascal / 16XX type cards? This is Steam so this is not a normal population of PC. These are “gamers”. It doesn’t make sense intuitively that the three most populare gaming cards would be 8...

Yes absolutely. It just works. I can plug into my old receiver and done. Tried that with HDMI and had to deal with intermittent silliness with a phantom monitor

We have seen multiple situations where GFX cards running the same fidelity settings with similar bench mark performance look different because one card is loading low quality textures and has pop in issues. You don’t see a big performance tank in the benchmark because the game is using low...

Maybe just maybe this will inspire them to release the switch 2 on non potato quality hardware. Something like 2060 level of performance…

The PS5 has 16 gb so they reserve 12 gb for the GFX gram buffer. They will optimize it to keep it under 12 but will spend their finite time making the game better rather then optimizing to keep it under 8 gb and still looking the best. Instead they will just turn down the textures to potato...

100% and since it seems that cache scales better from a power and density then IO does they are trading a 32 mb cache and a 128 bit bus vs a 4 mb cache and a 256 bit bus. The 3060 ti should still have been either a 16 gb only at $400 or a 192 bit bus with 12 gb for $400. An 8 gb card that...

AMD specs are 1.0 v and Asus was running it at 1.45 volts. How is that AMD “fault”. Should AMD be testing ASUS bios releases? I’ve owned multiple Asus prime level boards from the Sandy bridge era till the 9000 series. They wouldn’t RMA a 9000 board (Z370) with memory stability issues with all...

Just shows how CPU bound the 6700XT was even with an OC delid 6700k.
