    FinalWire Releases AIDA64 v7.00 with Revamped Design and AMD Threadripper 7000 Optimizations

    For a second there I thought Fiery had finally implemented dark mode into the UI. :)

    ASUS GeForce RTX 4090 STRIX OC

    With the current USD vs EUR exchange rate plus the typical 20% EU sales tax, I was already expecting something like this. My God!

    MSI Unveils Its Largest PC Case Yet: the MEG PROSPECT 700 Series

    LOL I think this will be right up there with 'But can it run Crysis' ? :laugh:

    Gigabyte Announces the AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD with Capacities up to 4 TB

    I'm asking because I actually have an Optane 905P on my older system (Intel 9900K, DDR4, etc), and just recently upgraded to a Z690 system (12900K, DDR5, etc). Since I needed to keep everything working while I migrated everything from the old to the new system, I added a Seagate 530 Firecuda...

    Gigabyte Announces the AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD with Capacities up to 4 TB

    Yeah, doh, but that is not in the choice. :)

    Gigabyte Announces the AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD with Capacities up to 4 TB

    If you guys had the choice, would you prefer a Gen3 960GB Intel Optane 905P for your OS drive, or a Gen4 2TB Seagate Firecuda 530 ?

    ASUS Announces ROG Thor 1600W Titanium Power Supply

    Yes, but with the ROG THORs if you want to see the OLED screen the fan MUST be facing up.

    Failed to create tray icon error

    I'm not him but I'm also getting this error lately after a reboot. Apparently GPU-Z is trying to create a tray icon BEFORE Explorer has fully loaded. Might have started happening after a recent Windows update, or perhaps because I was (literally) forced to update Asus Armory Crate recently...

    Epic Games Offered Sony 200 Million USD For First-Party PlayStation Games PC Exclusivity

    I don't agree, sorry, I think THAT is EXACTLY what consumer choice is ALL about. :) Ok, but then if you are Epic don't pretend that it is for the good of the consumer, or because Steam is a monopoly and monopolies are evil. That is nothing but PR spinning, those are not, and will never be, the...

    Epic Games Offered Sony 200 Million USD For First-Party PlayStation Games PC Exclusivity

    Feel better now for calling others 'ignorant' just because they don't share your opinion? lol This has nothing to do with supporting a monopoly - I would have nothing against Epic (other than being basically owned by the Chinese) if it actually competed with Steam in a fair and clean way, i.e...

    Epic Games Offered Sony 200 Million USD For First-Party PlayStation Games PC Exclusivity

    This. If games were allowed to be sold in both Steam and Epic stores and each store freely competed in terms of price AND platform usefulness (which is TRUE competition and thus would benefit users) THEN I **might** believe their BS about this being about user choice. As it is, it is nothing...

    GIGABYTE AORUS 4K Gaming Monitors Feature Next-Gen Console-Specific Features

    Back when the typical screen resolution was something like 1024x768 or even 800x600 (yeah, I am THAT old eheh) 9-10pt text made all the sense in the world. With Windows being backwards compatible all the way to the 90's, that means a ton of applications I still use today (also have you seen the...

    GIGABYTE AORUS 4K Gaming Monitors Feature Next-Gen Console-Specific Features

    I used to think the same about getting a 43" LG IPS monitor when I went from a 30" at 2560x1600 to 4K, but 43" is actually the ideal monitor size for 4k if you want to retain 100% DPI on the Windows desktop (i.e.; no text scaling). Anything smaller and 9pt size text becomes a bit too hard to...

    GIGABYTE AORUS 4K Gaming Monitors Feature Next-Gen Console-Specific Features

    And IIRC each size is a different technology. You have VA, IPS and OLED all mixed in there. I jumped over the bandwagon by getting a 48" LG CX OLED back in December. Everything works perfectly: super fast response time in Game Mode, 4K, HDR, 120Hz, VRR and, of course, OLED deep blacks and vivid...
