    Alan Wake 2 Performance Benchmark

    That's like expecting Valve to release HL2 on EGS. It simply won't happen. Also the AW1 remaster is already a year old and hasn't released on Steam. Thanks for making great content. Glad I could be of help.

    Alan Wake 2 Performance Benchmark

    @W1zzard Correction to the conclusion: Alan Wake 2 is published by Epic Games themselves, meaning that it won't ever arrive to Steam (same as the remastered version of AW1).

    Dough Tech Launches Elite Spectrum 4K 144Hz Gaming Monitor

    The other thing is most ppl who are happy with a product don't write reviews or make praise subreddits, they don't have an emotion to vent unlike ones who have been burned by a company or a product. I can affirm most of what you're saying, I own an EVE 4k 144hz matte and can confirm that apart...

    Kyle from HardOCP on the Future of the Graphics Card Industry and Hardware Reviewers

    The point Kyle was trying to make is: Because of this shift in consumer preferences and purchasing triggers, Nvidia and AMD don't really have much of an incentive to give GN and HU day 1 samples etc anymore. He's not saying they're bad, he's saying that by constantly harping on about MSRP, they...

    Kingston FURY Released, New Lineup Takes Systems to the Next Level

    From what I'm seeing, this is just to phase out the HyperX brand from their existing RAM SKUs after they sold it to HP.

    NVIDIA Earned $5 Billion During a GPU "Shortage" Quarter and Expects to Do it Again in the Next One

    Yep, and Tether/Bitfinex have only responded by pumping more and more faux-dollars into the market. This will have a terrible ending imo. I hope that the crypto speculation craze didn't get too many working folks.

    NVIDIA Earned $5 Billion During a GPU "Shortage" Quarter and Expects to Do it Again in the Next One

    Keep an eye on whatever happens to Tether, that's the key to this entire rally (and maybe the last one too).

    NVIDIA Earned $5 Billion During a GPU "Shortage" Quarter and Expects to Do it Again in the Next One

    The majority of cryptocurrency mining occurs in China, so miners don't need to go through retail, they can just cut a bulk deal with whatever factory or middleman is in their area, who will be happy to push more sales at a higher unit price than what you or I are willing to pay (I'm estimating...

    Epic Games Store Now Offers Spotify App, More Non-Game Applications To Come

    No I'm not, Epic doesn't have proprietary DRM afaik, and I've seen reports from ppl talking about launching many games coming with no launcher requirement at all. I personally think Steam should kill the launcher requirement too, very outdated concept in this day and age.

    Epic Games Store Now Offers Spotify App, More Non-Game Applications To Come

    EGS doesn't require you to open their launcher to use apps. You can download games/apps, install them, and then uninstall the launcher and said games/apps will still work.

    AMD Issues Anti-Scalping Guidelines to Retailers for Radeon RX 6000 and Ryzen 5000 Launches

    The main issue that keeps scalpers in business is that no company will ever launch millions of inventory units at once, for various reasons that can never be fully resolved (inventory allocation, retailers/AIBs not wanting to freeze too much liquid cash into on-hand stock that may go...

    Sony Shows Off PlayStation 5 Internals in the Latest Teardown Video

    Sony's biggest mistakes in the PS3 era were: 1) Making the console "powerful" without catering to devs and making things easy for them. 2) Thinking that complete backcompat was an essential feature (I know this is anathema to us PC players, but Sony actually went as far as including a PS2 chip...

    AMD Issues Anti-Scalping Guidelines to Retailers for Radeon RX 6000 and Ryzen 5000 Launches

    LOL if anyone thinks scalpers won't do the exact same thing here then they are sorely mistaken. Also whoever at AMD thought that by leaking this they would avoid an Nvidia launch scenario then they are deeply mistaken, because they basically just announced the obstacle course, and there are...

    Sony Shows Off PlayStation 5 Internals in the Latest Teardown Video

    Most companies aren't Apple, that company is honestly in a space of its own when it comes to user-exploitation.

    Sony Shows Off PlayStation 5 Internals in the Latest Teardown Video

    Requirements as "does this device run at the speeds our games will need or not?", they're not gonna detect some drive signature as that would be too restrictive. Right now the prices are similar, but M.2s will go down in price over time as the market options proliferate (because of higher scale...
