    Samsung Galaxy S24 / S24+ / S24 Ultra

    One month update: Knock on wood, phone's still working great with zero issues. Still love the screen and the battery life. Have taken it on some hikes up into the mountains in single-digit temperatures and it performed perfectly on those.

    Am I pushing it with 750W and RTX 4090

    Note you can power limit most 4090s quite a bit with minimal performance loss. I have my 4090 FE limited to 70% in MSI Afterburner and am entirely satisfied with framerates at the resolution and settings I prefer in the games I play. Cutting 100W off the power consumption with zero performance...

    Anyone went strictly to SSDs only yet ?

    I replaced all of my desktop's HDDs with SSDs when prices on the latter bottomed out last late summer/early fall. My daily driver now has 2x 1TB WD SN850s and 4x 4TB Samsung 870 EVOs. Backups are all still HDDs.

    Samsung Galaxy S24 / S24+ / S24 Ultra

    I upgraded from an S22U to the S24U, and have been using the S24U since the 26th (received it a few days earlier than official launch). In sum: - I strongly prefer the flat screen to the curved screen. I didn't think this would be a noteworthy change, but it is. Hard to articulate why, I just...

    AI-Created 'Virtual Influencers' Are Stealing Business From Humans

    Trying to budget for my next big upgrade: When will AMD release the 9000 CPUs?

    I also haven't seen anything about gen 2 AM5 chipsets/700-series motherboards. I'm content with my MSI B650 Tomahawk, but would like to move to something higher-end when I get a Zen 5 CPU at the end of 2024.

    Starfield: Let's see Your Ships!

    After hours of tinkering, finally landed on a Razorleaf upgrade I like. Top cruising speed is 215M/s and top boost speed is 862M/s. Uses the 104DS 39 energy class B reactor and four White Dwarf 3015 engines.

    FS: Sony RX100M5, Docsis 3.1 Modem, Nest Thermostat

    I have the M7 version of this; this series is about the best pocketable/travel camera you can buy aside from some niche makes/models that cost many thousands of dollars. $600 for the M5 is a good deal.

    GamersNexus Bringing Back Written Reviews: Old Is New Again

    I respectfully disagree - most of us still frequenting and posting on this board were the fraction of the fraction that were, in fact, reading pages 2-9. And if the audience has increased, the fraction of a fraction is absolutely larger today than it was 20 years ago, even if it is not...

    GamersNexus Bringing Back Written Reviews: Old Is New Again

    I don't think you're gatekeeping as much as lamenting the dearth of more in-depth, technical reviews that take time to digest. Making accessible, superficial videos and putting them on YouTube isn't itself problematic - there's a huge audience for that and I appreciate PC gamers who don't have...

    Intel Core i9-14900K Review - Reaching for the Performance Crown

    Not keeping up with CPUs like I used to, so please help me out here. Am I correct in inferring from these data that a $320 Ryzen 7 7700X (that released a year ago) will provide 95% of the 4k gaming performance of this brand new Core i9-14900K that's $590 and pulls twice (or more?) the wattage?

    Best Buy to stop selling DVDs and Blue-rays tech news?

    It's not only higher quality, it's also permanence. If I buy physical media, I will have it forever barring a disaster like my house burning down. Given how the streaming platforms pull old titles, lose rights to stream, stream shitty format crops, etc., you can't assume they'll have what you...

    Starfield

    Skyrim and Fallout 4 have outstanding soundtracks - especially the Far Harbor soundtrack. I enjoy listening to those while working. Starfield's is good to very good but I'm not wowed by it. Otherwise, I'm up to level 16. The game runs well at 3840x1600, all high settings. Cities rarely yield...

    RTX 4060 teaser

    Just built a 5600X + 3060 Ti system for a friend of a friend for about $800, which is $300 cheaper than any comparable pre-built we could find. The $315 3060 Ti FE thanks to the seemingly perpetual BB credit card 10% coupon is a good value right now.

    AIO for Fractal Torrent and 5900X?

    No form of CPU cooling will make your room cooler. The CPU cooler only transfers heat from the CPU to the external environment. Different forms of CPU cooling will make the CPU itself and possibly the rest of the PC cooler only because it's more effectively transferring heat out of the case into...
