    Steam players are reverting back to GTX 1660 graphics cards, despite Nvidia's best efforts

    Nvidia shot themselves in the foot by dropping Windows 7 support for the 4000 series. I'm not surprised to see so many gamers reverting back to their older Nvidia cards.

    Why don't PC cases have 5.25" external drive bays anymore?

    Without asking "everyone" if they use PC optical drives, I wouldn't have a way to honestly answer that question. Since you're the one that wants to know though, feel free to ask everyone yourself. I don't have the desire to do so on your behalf. Good luck on your journey in finding out though.

    Power delivery difference between PCI-E 1X, 4X, and 16x

    Why would I get a wall charger when my current charger works just fine for my needs? I feel like you always try to make everything more complicated than it needs to be.

    Why don't PC cases have 5.25" external drive bays anymore?

    If you're concerned about having more space for cooling then you should get a desktop PC instead of a laptop. Laptop almost always have less room for cooling.

    Looking for SSD M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD Adapter

    What do you mean when you say "I unfortunately got the motherboard configuration wrong."? I don't know what you mean by this. And what are you trying to do? You asked if the bottom one was right, but you didn't state what you're trying to do.

    Internal card reader with only MicroSD

    I thought it would be nice to have an internal front card reader in my PC for micro SD cards, which are the only kind of memory cards I use. However the only internal card readers I can find are all 7-in one, 21-in one type multi card readers. Do any internal PC card readers exist that are...

    Power delivery difference between PCI-E 1X, 4X, and 16x

    So I believe most of us here are familiar with the concept of a PCI-E 16x slot being capable of providing up to 75w of power through the slot. I've heard this over and over again for years. But what about a PCI-E 1x slot? Can a PCI-E 1x slot also deliver 75W of power if I wanted to charge a...

    Are these gadgets GPUs or Graphics Cards?

    Oh so you do know what a GPU is. I thought you didn't know at first but you were just trolling me all along. Please go troll in someone else's thread instead of this one. Thanks.

    Are these gadgets GPUs or Graphics Cards?

    Just because it's faster to say doesn't mean that it's what they are called. And just because Linus Tech Tips calls them GPUs doesn't mean it's correct either.

    How is AV1 encoder added?

    If it makes you feel any better about buying your Graphics Card now, I regularly decode (watch) 1080p AV1 content purely in software with my second gen core i5 CPU at full speed. Haven't tried 4k yet though.

    How is AV1 encoder added?

    A hardware encoder is added with supported hardware like an Intel Arc graphics card. A software encoder is added by installing software, such as installing Handbrake. I've been encoding AV1 files for awhile now with my Sandy Bridge CPU.

    SSD drives versus USB flash drives for backup storage

    Instead of being in a hurry when you back up your data manually, you could automate your backups instead. That way it really doesn't matter if the backup run slowly and you can save money on not feeling the need to buy SanDisk Extremes and prosumer grade SSDs.

    Are these gadgets GPUs or Graphics Cards?

    Thanks for all of the very insightful information on this topic. My takeaway from this is that Nvidia Graphics Cards are GPUs since Nvidia has named their specific cards as such. But Intel and AMD cards aren't GPUs. Those are simply Video Cards/Graphics Cards.

    Just read something disturbing about Windows 11

    The 3090 is still fast enough to run everything plus it's cheaper. And the core scheduler is a non-issue if you simply disable all of the e-cores. Games run better that way anyway.

    Are these gadgets GPUs or Graphics Cards?

    If you get an Android or iPhone style phone, they both have the option for speech to text input. It enables you to type without ever having to actually type if that makes sense. I use it myself.
