    Good AMD mobo/cpu combo with DDR3

    So my gigabyte mobo just died, it was pairted to a i7 4770 I think its time to try AMD, but I have 32gb of DDR3 ram and DDR4 doesn't really make that much of a difference IMO. Any recomendations? Am I better selling off the ram and getting Zen3?

    Did nvidia throw a 1-2 punch to AMD with Ampere?

    I know its still early to tell, but it seems to me that Ampere is a pretty big blow to AMD on 2 fronts. Absolute performance blow with the RTX3090, I don't think AMD will have anything that could come anywhere close to it. So once again AMD won't be able to claim the performance crown...

    So buy Ampere or wait for AMD response?

    I have an eye on the 3070, but I'm curious to know what AMD comes up with. If only so they can get on a price war.

    Will FS 2020 use DLSS?

    I think it would be great to have DLSS on FS2020, it uses TAA so it shouldn't be hard to implement DLSS2.0. BTW I find it really odd that it uses DX11, specially since the Xbox Series X supports DX12 Ultimate.

    PC random reboots when playing some games.

    About a month ago, my PC would enter a boot loop, just before entering the desktop it would reboot. I tought initiallyl to be the SSD as it attemted to repair the installation after several reboots. I replaced the seasonic 600w PSU with a 700w psu and problem solved. But a few days ago my kid...

    No wonder the Series X can do 4k/60

    Games quality look like switch ports to xbox one ports Halo Infinite looks like a 2015 game, and the worst part is that it was probably running on a high end PC. BTW where are the RT games? And to think I was considering getting one instead of upgrading to Ampere

    Mafia Definitive Edition 4K gameplay trailer.

    Obviously looks so much better than the original, but it doesn't look that good compared to games like say GTA V. Still, Mafia is one of my favorite games and I still play it from time to time. So I'll get this one.

If I keep it on, sometimes it posts for a few seconds and reboots and not post again for several times. furthermore, every now and then it will post and run for hours completely...

    AMD raytracing techdemo

    With the release of DX12 ultimate, AMD released a tech demo. No info on what its running on, but big navi comes to mind I hope its an early alpha, cause it kind of sucks. Not impressed at all. Also seems to be running at a low framerate.

    GeforceNow on low end hardware

    I have an old AMD E350 cpu/mb combo. I figured I could try GeforceNow on it and see how it fared. I figured it should do well as it has integrated AMD graphics with video acceleration. So I installed GeforceNow on Windows 10 with a 500GB HDD and 2GB DDR3 2gb proved to be too low as the HDD kept...

    Any PS1 Metal Gear remaster?

    AFAIK the only remaster is the GameCube version with upgraded graphics. Is there any other? the PS3/Xbox360 HD collection only comes with the MG 2, 3 and 4. Maybe some mods for the PC or PS1 emulators?

    Could nvidia next gen be a chiplet design?

    This is all conjecture by me, but let me elaborate. BTW I don't think this is coming with Ampere. While I have my doubts that AMD is capable of delivering a chiplet design anytime soon (much less with Big Navi) simply because it would have to be a crossfire design as there would be 2 (or more)...

    alternative to disk2vhd?

    Is there an alternative to disk2vhd? I need to upload a pc to azure. disk2vhd makes the vhd as a dynamic disk and azure needs fixed disk. Also it can make the disk size that has fraction of gb. for example the vhd can be 128.5 gb and it needs to be 129 for it to work on azure.

    Farewell my GTX1070 best card I ever had.
