    Intel Arc A370M "Alchemist" Put Through AoTS

    Little late, but.. AoTS was released March 2016. It's still considered a viable stress/benchmark test due the size of the map and number of units at any given time being displayed. From what I understand, it's not the most accurate of benchmarks, but serves as a good baseline for performance...

    ASUS Announcement Regarding ROG Maximus Z690 Hero Manufacturing Defect

    This issue will not stop me from buying ASUS motherboard or their products. Every manufacturer at one point or another has their issues. Some are more widely know about or blown out of proportion due to the popularity of whatever manufacturer it is. At least ASUS is taking steps and making it...

    Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Master

    Still working on getting a Z690 board to upgrade my old Z390 Maximux XI Hero 9900k build.. I've been thinking about going Gigabyte for the motherboard after spending 15+ years on the ROG platform.. We'll see. Waiting on the EVGA Z690 to drop too. Been eyeballing those, as well..

    ASUS is Working on a DDR4 RAM Adapter for DDR5 Motherboards

    That DDR4 > DDR5 adapter looks a little goofy.. But, I guess the old saying does apply, "Function over Form". Let's hope we get to a better place in the future where something this adapter is not needed..

    HIFIMAN Arya (2021 Stealth Magnets) + Apos Flow Cable

    I have the Drop HIFIMAN HE-5XX and the Sundara.. Both are VERY nice headphones imo.. I have considered stepping up to the Ananda.. all the headphone reviewers usually have pretty high praise for the Ananda, and these days they can be picked up for ~$700 or thereabouts. About those Apos...

    CaseLabs Resurrects With a Survey for Existing and Upcoming Customers

    Don't want to get into the politics of what happened to Caselabs and the why/behind the what of their decision. I am just glad Caselabs will be making a return.. I hope the new products are on the same level of quality that the original, over-the-top, and overkill cases, that Caselabs was...

    The Next Battlefield is Battlefield 2042 Set in World War 3

    BF2.. still one of my Battlefield favorites of the series. And, BF2: Project Reality. This was a masterpiece in it's day. And it's still very active today!

    Razer Prepares Viper Ultimate Cyberpunk 2077 Edition Mouse

    Pretty sure this mouse will get delayed.. I mean, it is the Cyberpunk 2077 Edition after all. :rolleyes:

    Microsoft Releases Flight Simulator Patch Improving Performance By 10%

    DX12 support is being worked on still, I'm sure. They did say during the developer Q&A last year (!!) that it was going to coming to FS2020. I would have hoped that it would have been included with the release, but.. Been trying to find the source, but I do remember reading something from last...

    Turtle Beach Launching Updated Gen 2 Versions of The Stealth 600, Stealth 700 Headsets

    If you're referring to the "Xbox version connects directly to console or PC via Microsoft's proprietary connection and wireless receiver kit", it's the same one that has been in place. Which has been in place for.. well, as long as the XBox One has been released. It's the same wireless...

    Gabe Newell Would Prefer a Xbox Series X over the PlayStation 5

    Lord Gaben has spoken.. albeit, Xbox/PS5 is a big NOPE from me. Sure, they may look good on paper. Literally, I mean.

    Cyberpunk 2077 a DX12-Only Release on PC

    More and more game releases are going to be this way, I'm sure.. being DX12-only. Which I am good with. I know not everyone is going to like it, but it's going to happen sooner or later anyway. Maybe down the road 2077 will support Vulkan..

    I guess it was only a matter of time... Now.. give it to me. Immediately. Oh.. my bad. Please.

    A Moment Of Silence (My cruncher died)

    Sorry about your loss @BarbaricSoul .. I feel your pain, and you have my condolences. :toast: I lost a Corsair HX850 (1st gen) which I bought back in 2009 about 2 months ago.. Was my first 'fully' modular PSU I purchased over 11 years ago. The HX850 was being used on my i7-4790k cruncher...
