    NVIDIA RTX 50 “GB202” Gaming GPU reportedly features the same TSMC 4NP process as B100

    The 4090 is effectively cheaper for most people than the 3090 was. A big part of the 3090 life cycle was during the tariff, only evga was below 2k during the tariff period. I paid $2200 for my Asus Strix. My MSI Suprim Liquid X was only $1750. Im not even factoring in inflation. I would need the...

    Oh Samsung, you had one chance to redeem yourself......Tech cuts guy's TV to void warranty and Reddit removes video from the post.

    I'm a little paranoid because I routinely have maid service come over. I have cameras all over the house and outside except the bathrooms. I guess I will never have to worry if this happens to me because everything will be on camera and probably have multiple angles.

    My EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 ULTRA is vastly underperforming

    Yea, a lot of people run the 4090 on the SF750. I upgraded recently to the cooler maste v1100.

    If you have a spare drive, install a fresh version of windows see if that fixes it.

    Micro Center starts a GPU trade-in program

    They tested it when I used it for the 3090. I guess they didn’t before that.

    Micro Center starts a GPU trade-in program

    I used it on my 3090 strix that died. It died 2 months before the 4090 came out, lucky me because I bought it during covid for $2200 and got $2200 back and bought a 4090 when it came out. I bought the warranty on my 4090s as well just in case because it was a super easy process. Sad people...

    Intel CEO laments Nvidia's 'extraordinarily lucky' AI dominance, claims it coulda-woulda-shoulda have been Intel

    They didn’t do nothing. They leveraged their position to try and crush their competitors and milk their customers for nearly a decade.

    How many 4080/4090 owners plan to upgrade to a respective 50 series when available?

    I might if the performance boost is big enough. I haven't been playing games as often lately though. If 42" 4k 240 OLED TV or monitor comes out then that's a definite yes I am getting a 5090.

    4090s will be in short supply for the next 2 years

    Well guess the 2 I got on release week will carry me over until the 5090 then.

    4080 or 4090 for 4K gaming?

    If you are serious about 4k and want the best experience the 4090 is the only card that is worth it.

    Pressure grows on Apple to open up iMessage

    My biggest problem with EU forcing interoperability is the possibility of getting spammed by whatsapp, telegram type scammers and spammers. Also don't really care about RCS, SMS works fine for those without iMessage for me.

    4080 for 4k gaming at 120hertz? Ok?

    I think its good for 4k120 for maybe a year. You cant control how devs optimize games and the game engines they use, you can only control the hardware you run it on. So far games are starting to really push the 4090 and thats really the only true 4k120 card on the market.

    4080 for 4k gaming at 120hertz? Ok?

    I mean nebell literally said unless you are using upscaling or lowering details. You are literally doing just that. The 4090 is literally borderline for 4k 120 without DLSS in a lot of games right now.

    Ex Apple Engineer. Let go for using a Galaxy device as my main driver after 17 years.

    Yea the guy admitted to his boss asking him to do something and he couldn’t because he refused to have an iPhone with him. That’s literally a job performance issue, as well as insubordination and if they fired him and he fought it for unemployment benefits he would lose. He quit because he knew...

    Apple iPhone 15 Live Event "Wonderlust"

    My Z fold 4 is a year old now and it’s been great though it’s my second phone I use for work and business so it’s not used as much as my iPhone. I did get the Samsung extended warranty though because it was $1800 and I did hear about issues with the z fold 3 and older.

    Apple iPhone 15 Live Event "Wonderlust"

    I have to say I was not expecting the 15 Pro to be all that much better than my old 12 Pro. It feels quite a bit snappier than my 12 Pro, FaceID takes maybe half the time, battery life so far is much better and it doesn't overheat like my old 12 Pro does when I am using carplay. I am pleasantly...

    RTX 5xxx / RX 8xxx speculation

    Im in the US. I’ve been burned by asus motherboard rma before. But give the price of these gpus and Microcenter’s reputation on the warranty I just keep buying the extended warranty. If something happens I can drive 30 mins to Microcenter and they will give me whatever I paid for it back to me...

    RTX 5xxx / RX 8xxx speculation

    It really wasnt all that close to 4k120 unless I was using DLSS. Cold war was 90-110~ fps with DLSS, really not all that close to me if without it I am more the 60-70 range. 4090 for comparison is closer to 200fps with DLSS and 120fps+ without it. Havent played a ton of games lately but most of...

    RTX 5xxx / RX 8xxx speculation

    I was a 3090 owner who bought a 4090 but mostly because a 3090 was doing close to 4k120 on anything I wanted to play and the 3090 in my main gaming rig died. Certainly, there will be games that drop the 4090 off the 4k120 but I think with remnant its more of bad design and optimization than it...

    RTX 5xxx / RX 8xxx speculation

    I feel like most 4090 owners probably wont buy the 5090. The 4090 is right at 4k120 for most games so I don't really see the need to upgrade unless the 5090 was 70%+ faster and cheaper than the 4090.

    Gamers Nexus vs LinusTechTips: Smackdown

    I don't follow LTT that closely and I don't follow GN basically at all so I didn't see that happen but that's a bad look again on LTT then. Guess GN took it really hard and they spent months trying to get back at LTT. Either way, neither GN nor LTT came out of this well in my eyes.

    Segeate Exos or WD/Hitachi ultrastar 18TB for unraid?

    Just picked up a used dell poweredge server with 14 drive bays. Planning on using unraid to mess around but wondered which drive I should get. Is the obvious choice still the WD/hitachi drives? Planning on getting the recertified ones from serverpartdeals. WD/Hitachi vs Segate. Also while I'm...

    Gamers Nexus vs LinusTechTips: Smackdown

    I agree with almost everything you said. I think anyone getting their information from only one source at all needs to change that habit. But as I stated earlier in the thread, the inaccuracies being called out are 100% don't really need to contact LMG about that for a statement. The billet labs...

    Gamers Nexus vs LinusTechTips: Smackdown

    Never seen this channel pop up into my feed before. Pretty decent take to me on it. Maybe I missed something did Billetlabs contact GN first about the whole prototype being auctioned off issue or did GN take it upon themselves to do this and nuke LMG? A lot of this just feels so Self Serving for GN.

    Gamers Nexus vs LinusTechTips: Smackdown

    Honestly, I'm a bit confused why a 3090ti sent to them with the billet labs block wasn't used and why they didn't use another 3090ti in case they thought maybe the 3090ti sent to them was binned or something. Why did the reviewer think using the 4090 as a substitute was okay? This whole billet...

    Apple Announces Apple Vision Pro AR Spatial Super Computer

    Honestly, they didn't show too many apps yet. The screens in there are definitely up there for tech. Youtubers who have had hands-on with it say the eye tracking and hand tracking are pretty damn good, so let's see what they do when it launches. I like getting novel new tech too but unless there...

    Scumbag ASUS: Overvolting CPUs & Screwing the Customer

    Haven't really had Asus MB issues. I had a G15 2nd gen Laptop and an RTX3090 strix fail on me last year. The good thing was I knew that if I was buying Asus I should get an extended warranty so I don't have to deal with Asus RMA.

    Overhauled NVIDIA RTX 50 "Blackwell" GPUs reportedly up to 2.6x faster vs RTX 40 cards courtesy of revised Streaming Multiprocessors and 3 GHz+ clock

    Agreed, I would call horse shit on 2x 90% of the time. There wasnt a big enough performance increase on TSMC processes lately to say 2x+ faster without massively increasing the die and that would eat into Nvidia's margins and we all know they love their margins. That and GPU sales have slowed...

    The Slowing Growth of vRam in Games

    When I bought the 3080 10GB when It came out I saw it pretty close to maxing out at 4k on games. I realized 3090 was the min for 4k ultra so I upgraded and have kept with the xx90 since.

    Apple’s M3 Rumored Performance Scores Beat 12-Core M2 Max In Single-Core Test, Up To 12% Faster Than M2 Pro In Multi-Core

    Microsoft's deal to buy Activison/Blizzard for $67 billion - likely to happen, few obstacles left

    Microsoft getting the Activision Blizzard buyout deal through would absolutely screw Sony. Microsoft buying out AB and Bethesda is literally them trying to buy 15% of the console software revenues. Sony group as a whole does not have the revenue and profts Microsoft has, they will not be able to...
