    Is it time to say goodbye to 1440p?

    There is a YT reviewer that shows a 2080 performance at 100%, and then the 3080 running the exact same settings with results from 62% on the low end to over 100% higher performance on the high end. the 62% was an outlier, and mostly 70%+ gained were attained.

    Apple's Custom GPU is Reportedly Faster than Intel iGPU

    You cant build a modne You cannot build a modern GPU (legally speaking) without a patent license from AmD, Nvidia, or IM, and whomever owns Matrox these days. Of course I nearly forgot the patent troll king, Qualcomm.

    water cooling GPUs. worth it?

    Welcome to my hood! Test that B die we got dirt cheap yet?!!? I will chime in and add that I fully support watercooling. The loop can move from build to build to build. I have about $700 worth of gear between what is in my rig and my spare parts (who am I kidding, its the [h]ording closet)...

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    Came here to say the same thing. I put hundreds of hours, perhaps over 1500 really, into Tribes. My V3000 OC'd gave me liquid smooth frame rates. First runner up would be my 1800XTX. Being able to run FarCry with max quality at 1280x1023 and still have over 60FPS was crazy. That game was my...

    AMD Confirms Zen 3 Brings Entirely Brand New CPU Architecture, Delivers Significant IPC Gains, Faste

    AMD said they would not be leaving AM4 until a major feature changed (think DDR5, PCI-E 5, etc) required it. Zen 3 should work just fine, assuming you get a working BIOS from your Mobo maker. I'd bet IdiotInCharge (Hey, been a while!!) $20 that AM4 will support Zen3 if he wants to take the bet.

    Smoking! Inland 1TB SSD $79.99 @ Microcenter

    it wont, but what it will DO is take a SATA port, or if you install an NVME in the 2nd slot, it WILL only run in x2 mode, despite ASUS claiming that you can run x4 if you do not have PCI-E 1 populated....Spent a good deal of time on google and saw plenty of others with the same issue. I...

    AMD's Ryzen 3000 Boost-Fixing BIOS Leaks out

    I agree. I just tested my new ABBA bios (sig system) and booted it wtih 3200 c14-14-14-34-1T timings at first....Ran CB20, and saw roughly 3% (I know its 3% but that is the difference) in MT testing vs 3533 c14-15-14-28-1T....I reloaded my old ram profile and it set those timings, so I am...

    AMD's Ryzen 3000 Boost-Fixing BIOS Leaks out

    There is a HUGE difference between an "audiophile" and noticing a system that has a higher amount of input lag etc. One can actually be measured...I know you were not quoting me directly but I still think the logic is sound. And no, we do not want to look at audiophiles with respect. It...

    AMD's Ryzen 3000 Boost-Fixing BIOS Leaks out

    We are all different..I have suffered from Chronic migraine daily for over 15 years now. I am extremely sensitive to input lag (even on the desktop), studdering (FreeSync was a miracle for me) and motion. I can set my system to run at 2133, and it is noticbilty slower...Benchmarks prove it...
