    AGON by AOC Introduces 26.5" 1440p 240 Hz OLED Competitive Gaming Monitor

    Just release an 31.5" QHD@240Hz OLED with HDMI 2.1 ports... 4K can die a slow death as far as i am concerned. I have a 55" and 42" side by side and cannot notice any difference for the life of me. PPI is so overrated that it's getting ridiculous. Not to mention the terrible state of pc...

    AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D Selling Nearly Twice as Fast as 5800X3D in Some Regions

    Not going to give them another cent even for a 30% average gain. Laggy, buggy and be happy that all sites conveniently stopped reporting 0.1% lows. Scummy tactics at it's finest on all fronts. No thanks AMD

    AMD Ryzen 8000 "Granite Ridge" Zen 5 Processor to Max Out at 16 Cores

    The thing is that while better than dual ccd models, the main latency bottleneck on AMD's architecture is the Infinity Fabric. It is the main weakness they try to overcome by using the 3D cache. They try to minimize RAM access as much as possible but a better way would be to increase the Fabric...

    AMD Ryzen 8000 "Granite Ridge" Zen 5 Processor to Max Out at 16 Cores

    I know you do. But i would prefer the consumer to win. It is apparent from your enthousiasm that this is your first high end build so instead of messing with corporate shenanigans like we do, i suggest you go have fun and play Fortnite or whatever makes you happy! Chill you have an excellent...

    AMD Ryzen 8000 "Granite Ridge" Zen 5 Processor to Max Out at 16 Cores

    First you need to clear your mind and change your attitude towards other members. Being critical of a company is acceptable and debatable, no need to get excited on a personal level. No doubt, but instead of pushing expiremental technologies on users it's better to wait and do it right. AMD's...

    AMD Ryzen 8000 "Granite Ridge" Zen 5 Processor to Max Out at 16 Cores

    The Hype machine started already? I wonder if there are still people falling for AMDs failed chiplet architecture. I mean okay i get it that media pushes them hard but after lagfest to lagfest cpu release you would think that people would see through the lies. Ryzen 5 first predictions: 1...

    Phison Showcases 12 GB/s Speeds for PCIe 5.0 SSDs Through Its New E26 Controller

    No random 4kQD1 performance increase= No performance increase. Intel Optane will still be the performance king for years to come.

    NVIDIA Releases GeForce 511.23 Game Ready Drivers

    This is true, had to read it slow for 2 - 3 times. If you just skip through it, well magic happens lol

    NVIDIA Releases GeForce 511.23 Game Ready Drivers

    I am quoting you but it goes for many others as well: Guys try to read before you post opinions on features because apparently very few managed to understand the way it works, but jumped to criticize it anyway. Simple example for easy explanation: You have 100FPS in a game running 4K. There...

    ASUS ROG Maximus XII Extreme

    Thank you for the excellent review! I have a suggestion. Please measure Startup, Restart and shutdown time. Just to see how fast is the motherboard in RAM training, Device initialization etc. It's easy to measure and if someone spends time stress testing - fine tuning Overclocks then this...

    Alphacool Releases Four New Water Blocks for RTX 3070/3080/3090 GPUs

    Well hate to say it but i have to. This company needs to stop spitting out new products and focus on ACTUAL AVAILABILITY of it's current stack. I am trying to get waterblocks from them for the last 3 months and the only thing i was able to achieve is to find out how amateurish is their...

    AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT

    Well with all due respect, it is you who seem to have the "special" eyes because the numbers you mention are "modified" towards AMDs favor. It's mostly 5% difference and the power consumption difference is closer to 50 watts. Also the "other tweaks" part is a lot better for the Green team...

    AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT

    Confirming their inability to catch up with nVidia was a huge relief for me. They clearly demonstrated with their CPU launch that they give crap about the end user in terms of value for money and all they wanted was a chance to pass ahead so they can overcharge their products. Thank you AMD...

    EK Launches QuantumX Delta TEC Water Block Featuring Intel Cryo Cooling Technology

    What is wrong with you people? Overclockers always wanted a safe mass produced product to help them get to ambient temps or even below it while running heavy loads on CPUs. We never got that product until now. With proven results, humidity countermeasures, product warranty and actually able to...
