    NVIDIA Releases GeForce Drivers that Add DXR to Select GeForce GTX GPUs

    I don't know where you are looking, but I don't see new 2080 Ti's anywhere for close to that price. The cheapest one on Amazon is $1,169. However, 2080s are in the $700-800 range.

    Sniper Elite V2 Remastered Up For Pre-order, Owners of the Original Get a Heavy Discount

    As long as they keep the price reasonable, I am fine with it based upon the amount of effort placed into it. To me it wouldn't be any different of a comparison to say me going back and playing Civ 5 or 6 again once a DLC is released. Those DLCs cost more money and yet I keep going back even...

    Sniper Elite V2 Remastered Up For Pre-order, Owners of the Original Get a Heavy Discount

    Those who own the original "Sniper Elite V2" from 2012 can buy the game as an "upgrade," for just $9.99. Based upon everything that they did within this remaster, I think this is a good deal. The game has replayability, I just still have a backlog of games to get to before I get back to this...

    Intel Soaks Up Heather Lennon, AMD RTG Digital Marketing Head

    It isn't a matter of Heather deciding she wants to go back to AMD and them opening a positition. It isn't a matter of AMD reserving the spot for Heather. What happens all the time is a positition becomes available (whatever X amount of years later) and then someone from AMD reaches out to...

    BIOSTAR Announces Windows 7 support for Latest AMD and Intel Motherboards

    This is a possibility. I was an early adopter of Vista and had zero issues as a home user/gamer. Granted I did two things that many others did not; I gave it lots of memory (8GB at the time, when everyone else was using 2 or 4GB) and I didn't run any legacy software on it.

    BIOSTAR Announces Windows 7 support for Latest AMD and Intel Motherboards

    Careful or people here will start to think you wear tin foil hats. Not that I care anyways, perhaps you dont either. What people don't know, they dont know. Some people choose not to know or even consider the possibility which would lead them to knowing. Each to their own.

    Intel Soaks Up Heather Lennon, AMD RTG Digital Marketing Head

    I believe that this and more money are the two primary reasons of the exodus. Most people will always do what is best for their career. Also, they all know that this isn't a permanent move; they can always come back to AMD 8 years later because it's nothing personal.

    Intel Partners with Netflix to Deploy AV1 CODEC as its 4K Backbone

    While I welcome it, Comcast isn't going to like this news.

    Intel Optane Persistent Memory 512GB Module Can be Yours for $7816

    Interesting. If this true (which I do not doubt), I stand corrected. I never looked into it much, but I did know that I hated it because it performed like crap. This was added insult because my employer purchased expensive NUCs with SATA SSDs for "optane" when it could have just bought NVMe...

    TSMC Completes 5 nm Design Infrastructure, Paving the Way for Silicon Advancement

    There is a cloud although it is an abstract term. Cloud is just a word that we used to describe something; in this case, someone else's computer.

    Monster Hunter: World Gets High-Res Texture Pack Update

    Glad they released this sooner than later. It looks much better. I don't own this title, but I probably will eventually on a black friday.

    Intel Optane Persistent Memory 512GB Module Can be Yours for $7816

    It has made it to desktop. They use Optane technology in NUCs.

    TSMC Completes 5 nm Design Infrastructure, Paving the Way for Silicon Advancement

    No. Cloud is indeed understood (as a whole) that it is external computing services and storage provided by external businesses. Yes, you can set up your servers to perform as a self-serving, on-premises cloud, but that does not redefine what we refer to as the cloud.

    EIZO Unveils the ColorEdge CS2731 27" Monitor for Creative Professionals

    I prefer sleek, matte black monitors without obtuse angles. The thickness makes no difference to me either; it is not like it can even compare with the depth of a CRT. Absolutely no RGBs!

    Microsoft Reconsiders: No More Forced Updates in Windows 10

    You could also use FreeFileSync, create a script to run daily via Task Scheduler to do this automatically at whatever interval you like such as daily or weekly. It is a truly free program, doesn't look archaic and is updated often.
