    Ryzen 9 7900X3D: Y'all were right...

    Hardware Unboxed did a review of the Ryzen 9 7900X3D after a year of the part being out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu12QOQiUUI In the past, I expressed the desire to get one here on the forums. However, I was advised it'd act like a 6-core X3D part in gaming. Well... Guess what? LOL...

    Intel PowerVia and RibbonFET nanosheet transistor to be introduced in 2024

    I would let that clear for five minutes before going back in if I were you... Backside power, indeed... Now, I know some of you roll your eyes about Fudzilla reposts, but I'll keep the rumor/speculation heavy articles off here to fend off the torch and pitchforks... This is about PowerVia...

    My recent GPU experiences with AMD as a long time nVIDIA user...

    After seeing this video: ...and being fed up with nVIDIA's flat out outrageous pricing on the Ada Lovelace series GPUs introduced thus far, with the gall to call what should have been the RTX 4070 12GB the 4080 instead, I started to have an open mind about finally looking into alternatives...

    A temps question for those of you who owned a GTX 295 back in the day...

    Hey all... So I recently obtained a working GTX 295, and it's working fine with the exception that under a full load temps will reach 94/91 C with fan speed in the mid 70's. I realize two GPUs are being cooled with one heatsink and fan, but is this normal? Or is it time to disassemble one of...

    Thread title says it. I bought an EVGA model from another forum member/friend that was DOA for $100 shipped, so that's what I'm willing to pay, more or less. A fair price considering my old 980 Ti just sold for $200. If you want eBay prices for your card, please don't PM me and just sell your...

    SLI issues on 790i Ultra SLI - black screen every other frame/driver kernel recovering

    So after a very long, sleepless 48 hours I've determined it's one of the updates installed after the 2016 quality rollup that is breaking SLI but only in the x64 version of Windows 7 and NOT the motherboard as I originally thought. Thankfully I had a second SLI motherboard on hand to test to...

    Weaponized Spectre Exploit Spotted

    Last month, a "fully weaponized exploit for the Spectre CPU vulnerability" was uploaded to the malware scanning website VirusTotal, which makes this the first exploit capable of doing real, actual harm to anything running vulnerable CPUs.

    Retro PC help: 9800 GT SLI overheating issue on top card

    Hopefully one of you [H]ard|Forum veterans can help shed some light on this. Over a year ago I obtained an ASUS P5N-D and two 9800 GTs for some SLI fun in a trade from another forum member. The build quickly turned into somewhat of a nightmare. When using Yorkfield processors 32-bit OSes BSOD...

    Shipping dilemma, need your input...

    I've been a trader here for almost as long as I have been on these forums, and one thing I have always done as a seller is double check the shipping address with the buyer before I put the item out in the mail. I just sold a CPU and both PM'ed and emailed him asking him to confirm his shipping...

    Anyone still running an X99 Broadwell-E system?

    I was just curious, as the prices on eBay finally fell to a sane level for a 6900K so I bit. Still more than I wanted to pay, but with the new consoles coming I figured 8 cores will soon be the requirement. As the thread title asks, are any of you still running one of these systems? What has...

    A thread about G92 in 2019?! Yes...

    So, I've had a question on my mind for a while now. We all know how game changing the 8800 GT was for the masses. It would have been even more game changing if pricing stayed where nVIDIA claimed it would be. Sadly a $250 price at launch wasn't... quite the case. Still, it basically made...
