    Bought 2TB Samsung 990 Pro, received a 250GB 970 EVO. Amazon Samsung Store.

    What a big letdown this is. Amazing Amazon Prime next day delivery, less than 16 hours, it helps that we have a Amazon warehouse 20 miles away. Anyways opening up the package a Samsung 250gb EVO box appeared. WAT! Then on back there is a label saying it is a Samsung 990 Pro 2TB. Hmmmm maybe they...

    RDNA 3, Driver 23.1.2 fixes AMD Mesh Shader performance issue, 7900 XT/XTX (Update: Maybe Not)

    There was a concern about a possible hardware issue with Mesh Shaders with the 7900 XT/XTX due to rather poor results in 3DMark Mesh Shader feature test. With driver 23.1.1 with Mesh Shader on, it was only 11.9% faster then with it off. With 23.1.2, look at the difference between the two: AMD...

    HTC VIVE FLOW: Android phone driven

    This is very interesting, the specs are not awe inspiring as in resolution refresh rate but form factor looks useful. Power by your phone meaning the headset is lightweight. Controllers? Powered by PC? Tracking?

    Sabrent Rocket M.2 2TB PCIe Gen4 QLC performance compared to 1TB PCIe Gen4 TLC

    Just picked up a Sabrent 2TB QLC drive for $280 on sale. Almost picked up two for Raid, which would probably make the PS5 not look so beastly. Then reality hit, I would probably never notice the difference other than a benchmark, unless someone here can explain why it would be a good option...

    AMD's Checkmate

    A fascinating rundown on next gen tech not only in consoles but next gen GPU's. What surprised me was he thinks the PS5 will beat the Xbox One X even with less CU's and has some very solid reasoning behind it. Also what to expect in next gen Nvidia GPU's. While a lot of it is conjecture it is...

    How does Ryzen 3900X game while at 100% CPU usage on all the cores? Over 100fps?

    Pretty damn good to my surprised and yes. Never had any processor able to do this, not even close, usually when CPU is at 100% everything else seems slow, stutters, skips etc. Not with Ryzen 3!. I started to play Wolfenstein Youngblood, never notice that I did not stopped mining Monero, which...

    Manually Overclocking Ryzen 2 3900X

    While I don't normally like to OC using Windows software, this is working out relatively well. Since some call the 3900X having one Chiplet and one Shitlet, OCing those differently may allow better performance overall. Anyways this is my first run using Ryzen Master to OC CCD0 to 4.5ghz and CCD1...

    7nm Radeon Instinct product for machine learning is running in our labs.

    Rather cool that a 7nm GPU is running or working: I wonder what changes to Vega was done besides 1/2 FP 64? Also if a Titan V type card or newer FE could come out of this?
