    Asus and Gigabyte Drivers Allegedly Contain Serious Security Vulnerabilities

    I don't think you quite understand the exploit. Administrator != Ring 0. This allows for malicious kernel mode code to be executed. Ring 0 is basically unmitigated access to the computer hardware which is actually higher than administrator and basically allows for the system to be rooted at a...

    PlayStation 5 Rumored to Sport Ryzen 8-Core CPU, Cost $500

    A 4 core Ryzen would easily outperform an 8 core Jaguar. Remember that the Jaguar is equivilant to an Intel Atom. The Jaguar is 2-wide, the Ryzen is 6. That means the Ryzen can dispatch 4 more instructions per clock than the Jaguar.

    Tyler Barriss Pleads Guilty to 51 Charges

    How about identify who a person is before you start shooting? Why is it that the so called "peace officers" in this country have looser rules of engagement than the military?

    Science Confirms That Bluetooth Headphones Are "Mostly Terrible"

    LDAC is proprietary. Not every device supports it. In fact, the biggest problem with Bluetooth is the number of different codecs and the fact that there is no universal codec for high quality audio. Also, try using Bluetooth headphones in the city when you are in an apartment complex or...

    NHTSA Stops Autonomous School Bus Company from Transporting Children to School

    I grew up in the south and we never had any air conditioning on our buses. You rolled down the windows. They've only recently started speccing AC for buses within the last 10 years.

    "Grand Theft Auto V" Cheaters Have Homes Searched, Assets Frozen

    Rockstar chose to be cheap by using a peer-to-peer architecture rather than a proper client-server architecture. That is why it is so easy for people to cheat in GTA V. It is entirely their own doing that it is so prevalant.

    No, GeForce Cards Are Not Suddenly "Playing Nice" with FreeSync Monitors

    LFC is exactly what G-Sync uses. G-Sync isn't a specification, it is an entirely proprietary scaler module that replaces a good portion of the monitor's electronics with NVIDIA's own system. The cost is in what NVIDIA charges monitor manufacturers for that scaler module. That is why all...

    No, GeForce Cards Are Not Suddenly "Playing Nice" with FreeSync Monitors

    G-Sync only works in certain FPS ranges as well. You are probably confusing refresh rate with low framerate compensation. There are freesync monitors that have this. See here : https://www.amd.com/Documents/freesync-lfc.pdf

    No, GeForce Cards Are Not Suddenly "Playing Nice" with FreeSync Monitors

    The RTX 2070 Will be Released on October 17

    Total War: Rome II Developers Issue Statement on Criticisms of Female Generals Feature

    Just another bullshit alt-right conspiracy theory being pushed by neo-nazis and russian bots. Are you all so insecure in your own masculinity that a video game character being female triggers you?

    Huawei Claims the Kirin 980 is Faster than Apple

    Yeah, no. The Apple A series chips are 6-wide. The Cortex A76 is only 4 wide. Couple that with the fact that Apple has the margins to afford putting copious amounts of cache in their chips and there is no way you are going to even compete with the A series unless you ratchet up the frequency...

    "Total War: Rome II" Developers on Female Generals: "Don’t Like It? Don’t Play It"

    Except that this entire thing is fake news. They didn't rewrite history; most of what the article claims they did they didn't. All they did was add female characters for factions where it would have historically made sense. They didn't add them for Rome or the Greeks or any of the factions...

    "Total War: Rome II" Developers on Female Generals: "Don’t Like It? Don’t Play It"

    OK, let me go ahead and put a stop to this nonsense before people end up having a coronary. The article in question is nothing but a bunch of bullshit designed to stir things up. There ARE female generals in Rome II where it would be historically appropriate as you can play as more than just...

    The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is Too Damn High! @ [H]

    The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is Too Damn High! @ [H]

    Absolutely. The 8800 Ultra could at least be someone justified by the fact that it was massively faster than the previous 7 series. The 2080 Ti is not. NVIDIA is starting to get complacent and act like Intel did with CPUs and that is a bad thing for PC gaming.

    Financial Info Leaked in Newegg Data Breach

    Paypal is safe. When you use Paypal, your credit card/banking information is not exposed/sent to a merchant; they simply tell Paypal how much to charge you and Paypal handles everything behind the scenes so all Newegg gets is a token. In fact, as a matter of good security, I always use Paypal...

    Nvidia Stock Falls Following Turing Reviews

    Ultimately, datacenter, embedded (e.g. infotainment centers for cars), and IOT is where the money is at; not in gaming. All you have to do is look at NVIDIA's website; look how far buried the Geforce stuff is in the menus compared to basically everything else. That should tell you where their...

    GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti Reviews

    It won't. As of right now, hybrid rendering (we aren't actually using pure raytracing here nor do the 2080 cards have the power to do such) is basically like GPU PhysX and will continue to remain that way until and unless the consoles support it. It is the consoles that drive the market, not...

    California City Blocks 5G Over Cancer Concerns

    It's lawyers. Basically, California has a lot of propositions where they have "private enforcement" so a lawyer can sue to collect fines on behalf of the state and then get to keep a cut. You have entire law firms whose sole business is suing people for violation of these propositions. And...

    10 Reasons Linux Gamers Might Want to Pass On the NVIDIA RTX Series

    Apple App Store Jewel "Adware Doctor" Pilfered Phone Data to Send to China

    That is the officially reported number. There is a holocaust going on right now with the Uyghurs. Concentration camps and mass cremations. People being rounded up and disappearing without ever being heard from again for speaking out against the communists.

    Madden Tournament Shooting Survivor Files Lawsuit against EA and Venue

    I'm convinced that most of the people here have never ever fired a gun in their life. More guns would not have helped save the victims. They were ambushed and killed before anyone would have had a chance to act to prevent it; the only thing more guns would have done is cause a shootout and...

    NVIDIA’s Pierre Terdiman Responds to “Weird, Confused” Comments concerning PhysX

    GPU PhysX failed because it was proprietary and limited to NVIDIA hardware. They even went so far as to break it on systems that had both Radeon and Geforce cards installed so you couldn't even use a spare Geforce as a PhysX only card. Couple that with the fact that both major consoles (and I...

    Metro Exodus Developer Eyes 1080p 60fps Target for Enabling Nvidia RTX Features

    Let's be honest. Consoles are what drive the market. Not PC. I know that statement triggers people here but its the truth. Games aren't going to make heavy use of raytracing until and unless the consoles support it just like games didn't go 64-bit en masse until the PS4/XBox One came out and...

    Fornite on Android Forgoes the Google Play Store for Increased Revenue

    That's because Apple uses humans to review apps. Google's Play Store uses an automated approval process that simply scans for malware/known suspicious behavior. The only time a human reviews anything on the Play Store is if it is reported.

    Big Star Labs Spyware Infected 11 Million Devices Before Removal from App Stores

    The spyware wasn't in the Apple App Store. They basically tricked people into enrolling their iPhones into MDM and used that to sideload the application since Apple would never approve it for the store.
