    Why did SLI and CrossFire die off?

    I was just watching this video about the Radeon HD 6990, 10 years after launch and I realized that both nVidia and AMD haven't released any dual GPU cards in almost 10 years. On top of that, the marketing for SLI and CrossFire has disappeared and hardly anyone discusses these techniques. When I...

    Question for the veterans of PC gaming: why was the Radeon 9700 Pro such a big deal?

    I've been in PC gaming/hardware for around 15 years but the 9700 Pro was just before my time (plus I was 10 years old so I wasn't mature enough). All of the comments I've read about it are along the lines of "Best GPU of all time!" and other similar remarks. Can you guys tell me why it was such...

    How does overclocking work on non-K processors?

    So I'm talking about 6h, 7th, and 8th gen processors, for example the i5-8400 or something like that. Can it OC anywhere past 4.0 GHz? (the Turbo speed is exactly 4.0 GHz) The reason I'm asking is because I remember back in the Sandy Bridge days, if a CPU had a Turbo speed of 3.6 GHz, it could...

    Do new Intel motherboards (Z170/Z270) still support SSD caching?

    I have looked at Intel's product support pages and most of them say that Z97 or Z87 were the last motherboards that support SRT for caching. If anyone could please check their BIOS and let me know I would really appreciate it. :-)

    Are there any good HDD deals right now

    Just as the title says. I need something around 1.5 or 2 TB and 5400 RPM. Two years ago before the flood there would be deals where 2 TB was only $60, now that is out of the question. But is there anything close to this?
