    Windows 12 Delayed as Microsoft Prepares Windows 11 25H2 Update

    I can run windows games on Linux and they are faster with more stability the only reason I still use windows is anticheat. Linux isn't perfect but it's a better option for almost everything. Yes it's got issues and it's not beginner friendly and I don't like it everything is more difficult but...

    Original Nintendo Switch Gets Price Bump in Canada

    By market conditions I'm assuming they mean buy our new console. I know old node's are getting more expensive but surly Nintendo isn't still making X1 but rather clearing old inventory.

    ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Extreme

    The box is more impressive than the board. Still at least it comes with a bottle opener to let you drown your sorrows after the buyers remorse kicks in.

    Lossless Scaling 3.1 Update Brings 2x Performance Increase and More Visual Fidelity

    I've been tinkering with dual GPU for months now and it's fantastic it brings new life to old hardware like a modern sli/crossfire. Honestly surprised they haven't been acquired by a GPU manufacturer.

    NVIDIA Grabs Market Share, AMD Loses Ground, and Intel Disappears in Latest dGPU Update

    6800xt was a gigabyte aorus master, and for next generation card choice I couldn't say as they aren't released I have zero loyalty to any manufacturer I buy the most suitable at the time for my need's.

    Dune: Awakening is Out Now

    The game isn't terrible but it's not great imo. The knife combat is awful trying to kill a shielded enemy you have to use slow blades but you often fing yourself fighting one shielded and 2 none shielded trying to slow blade, block and normal attack using just your left and right mouse buttons...

    NVIDIA Grabs Market Share, AMD Loses Ground, and Intel Disappears in Latest dGPU Update

    It's great but I'll only keep it until next generation. As good as it is I honestly don't think it's got the legs I want a 5-7 year card as I always run water cooling and I'm not putting a block on a 70 class card. I was all set for a 5090 this generation but lack of power load balancing has...

    I'm running an 9070xt Red Devil until next gen.

    NVIDIA Grabs Market Share, AMD Loses Ground, and Intel Disappears in Latest dGPU Update

    But will it really? I mean if your playing a RT/PT game then you're also probably using DLSS or FSR so no your extra RT performance is not required as daddy Jenson says you've got a 4090 with DLSS 4 /s. You can of course try to run these games without frame gen but on that class cards your not...

    NVIDIA Grabs Market Share, AMD Loses Ground, and Intel Disappears in Latest dGPU Update

    You're sarcasm aside, projected service life was my only disappointment with my 6800xt I fully expected it to last until next gen. It was completely unexpected and the last time I had such a failure was a GTX 480. I can't complain it just made its value proposition worse in lost service time and...

    NVIDIA Grabs Market Share, AMD Loses Ground, and Intel Disappears in Latest dGPU Update

    My reasoning is will spending the extra 70€ for 15% performance (which is incorrect in real world performance based my own card which is faster than a 5070ti) benefit the buyer? If the performance requirements the customer has is that tight I'd argue that stepping up a class to the 5080 card...

    NVIDIA Grabs Market Share, AMD Loses Ground, and Intel Disappears in Latest dGPU Update

    You're about right for here in the UK I'd save the money and buy a game or just pocket the difference why pay more for the same performance only reason I can think of is tribalism which I could care less about I've owned equal amounts of AMD and Nvidia but my personal opinion is AMD has the...

    NVIDIA Grabs Market Share, AMD Loses Ground, and Intel Disappears in Latest dGPU Update

    I was going off Steel Nomad but yeah I didn't spend much time as it's only a temporary card until next gen and in real world you couldn't tell them apart bar you wallet being a lot better off buying the 9070xt. On Nvidia drivers I've no clue bar most owners I know are having issues constantly...

    NVIDIA Grabs Market Share, AMD Loses Ground, and Intel Disappears in Latest dGPU Update

    I've been reading that thread with genuine curiosity and wondering what sort of machines they are sticking these cards into. After my 6800xt died I got my 9070 xt Red Devil 6 weeks ago and it's been rock solid so maybe I've been lucky as it runs faster than most oc 5070ti scores I've seen with...
