It will be important in the future. There is no current game that is "make or break" with respect to RT.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! If Squenix couldn't get Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, and a damned Marvel license to "perform to expectations", there is no studio to buy or build that is going to save them.

6750, 6950, and 5800X3D live on AMD.com.

This has been a constant pain in the ass with Windows 10 on every system. Out of 8 computers on the network, a Win10 system will only connect to 1 or 2 in Explorer to access network shares. Remote Desktop Connection will connect, but Explorer will not. WTF?

Nvidia will allegedly continue 30XX production after the 40XX launch. Different foundries, but memory supply may get tight.

VQuake with edge AA FTW! I went from a V1000 to a V2200 with a Voodoo 1 then a Voodoo 2. I think it was ATI after that.

They deserved to lose money on Avengers with their "as a service" and mtx crap. That, unfortunately, may have affected sales of Guardians, even though it was much better received.

This liberates the IPs Squenix has been ignoring. Their constant claims of "didn't meet expectations" is bullshit and usually is the result of poor marketing or consumer-hostile "features" like microtransactions. It seems like they've been trying to sabotage their western studios.

Previous several administrations...

So, that's where the feds are going to finally apply antitrust laws? After all the mergers just in telecom and media in the last 5-10 years, now seems like an odd time to remember those laws exist.

On the 1% lows for 1080P, I count 6 wins for AMD, 1 win for Intel, and 4 ties. I care more about 1% lows than averages, because it's the frame rate dips that affect the experience most.

I read over the weekend that the bearings on the Arctic fans allow the blade hub to slip outside the frame if the fan is mounted to blow upward. A small spacer gives the blades enough room to move freely.

I've seen that number mentioned for Navi 3, but I don't think AMD is changing it for Navi 2 refresh.

Yep - use the driver for OC and fan settings. You can use More Power Tool to increase the power limit if you really want to find the limits of the card.

They might end up like Intel, found guilty of illegal anticompetitive tactics and paying fines that amount to a fraction of the profits generated by those tactics.

H100 is Hopper (probably RTX 5XXX), not Lovelace (RTX 4XXX). "Interestingly, the SXM5 variant features a very large TDP of 700 Watts, while the PCIe card is limited to 350 Watts." As for Lovelace, looks like it will go to 600W. AMD will probably be in the same neighborhood for RX 7XXX.

What's the voltage on the RAM? Have you tried the other DIMM slots?

You're right - no setting for Radeon Super Resolution on the laptop.

AMD Advantage edition? I just clicked the button last night to check for new drivers, downloaded and installed. It's not a "recommended" update, it's "optional". You can also download direct from AMD.

I'm no thermodynamic engineer, but if you have a heat gradient in the air between 2 rooms (or 1 room and the rest of the house), it seems that circulating the air between the 2 areas will reduce the delta T. If a PC is putting out 500+ watts of heat, how significant is the heat priced by a fan...

With the time you got out of the 8700K, I'd bet you'll get good years from the 5950X. My 5800X from launch time has been great and I haven't gone to a higher core count just because I don't really have a use for more cores. Alder Lake is a solid platform overall, but the E cores are kind of a...

The Lian Li case is listed at $172 under the AMD build, but $72 under the Intel build. For a "16 core CPU", I'd take 16 full cores with SMT over 8 P cores and 8 E cores. You can probably tell I'm not a fan of the 12900K, though.

We've always been at war with Eastasia. Anybody who says anything different is virtually guaranteed to be lying.

IMO, the 12900K isn't worth the increased power/heat/$$$ compared to the 12700K. Make sure you have the hardware to mount the cooler on LGA1700.

Gamers Nexus had an incident with returning an item to Newegg and publicized it.

If only I could use Amazon cash back on Newegg....

Competition is great! One reason Pascal topped out at 250W (1080 Ti) is that Nvidia didn't have to push the envelope. AMD had nothing to challenge the high end.

Hopefully performance improves down the stack, so you won't need a 550W GPU to get an upgrade.

I care much more about performance per dollar. Turing was shit - the only upgrade from a 1080 Ti was roughly twice as expensive. Nvidia even acknowledged it at the Ampere rollout - "Those of you on Pascal, it's time to upgrade." Ampere would have been great at MSRP, but we all know how that...

This is one reason I haven't been able to convince myself to buy a GPU lately. Might have to take off work for launch day.

"Product is unavailable."

Hell, I'm still using a Pioneer plasma from 2009 and there's no burn in. B6 OLED since 2016, C8 OLED since 2018. No burn in anywhere. It's not hard to avoid.

I'd play StarCraft 2 if MS put it on Steam.

I saved about $1700 because I had shit to do and didn't see the email from Newegg that I got selected in the shuffle for a 3080 Ti.

Yeah, I don't see Gabe returning to MS voluntarily. He's working hard to decouple PC gaming from Windows.

Some good news following the MS acquisition. Now, how will these games run on the Steam Deck 😁

That case has me tempted to do another mITX build, but I really don't need another system right now.
