Is it me or this look like a blatant Corsair 2000D ripoff? Like exactly the same internal layout and everything. Worse yet that it's likely lower quality (Sharkoon is a budget brand) along with worse pre-installed fans.

Would be great, a nice inbetween card. Would be even nicer if the Hellhound had proper RGB lights instead of this blue and white nonsense. Obviously to upsell to a Nitro+.

If only they made a NR200 but vertical. Similar style and perhaps cooling layout, but much taller and much more space saving (in my case). The NCORE isn't exactly my taste either, with the 120mm rad for the CPU (it's thick, but still) and general looks that's too different from the nice simple...

DIsagree, bucket seats when properly designed are usually very comfy while also maintaining some decent ergonomics. But most "gaming" chairs aren't, I'd say if they are comfortable in a ergonomic seating position then you've found a good chair, regardless of design. That's my opinion and what...

Priced like a 60 Ti, performs like a 50 Ti (at best). This generation truly is the worst. You're getting a triple slot, triple fan 4050 Ti for over 300$ while it should be closer to 150-200 with a dual slot, dual fan cooler. I mean, look at that die, the whole board is empty as can be and...

This is like testing the AMD threadripper/epyc chips on older games. It's stupidly unnecessary but it sure makes a fun experience :rockout:

The best option is probably using legit ISO's with some cracking stuff afterwards, pretty sure that stuff is a lot more common too

Yeah, justified as a first gen product. The problem isn't too much the tech itself most likely, just that AMD's gpu designs aren't as good as Nvidia's. They've always been behind in efficiency and performance while using similar nodes. Zen's chiplet approach also took years before it got...

Any chance of any new scanners having shorter wavelengths then? If we can't go further than that we'll be stuck with the chips only getting tiny improvements.

Funny thing is, nearly exactly a year ago both Gigabyte and MSI posted about these kinds of boards. It's not exactly IP thievery as its just stealing good ideas (and both brands motherboards are inherently different in terms of layout).

So you're telling me a CFET is a vertical nanosheet-based transistor? Wouldn't that aside from node shrinks already lead to much denser chips?

Not a bad card actually, the bad thing about it (like this whole generation) is a lower class card marketed and sold at a higher class price. This would be a very nice 4050 Ti at atleast 100$ less. Now it's just like CPU improvements, small numbers, similar pricing and less power draw. It's...

Heh, remember the 4090 got a 60%+ performance increase for 100$ more. The 4060 Ti got a 15% increase for the same (or higher) price. Them using larger caches to offset a smaller bus is cool and all, but what's the point if your GPU's are much more underpowered than could be possible at the...

Most dissapointing series of releases I've ever seen. How come that a 4090 can have a easy 50% price-to-performance increase, but the rest can't even come close to that? Does Nvidia just enjoy these 50%+ margins enough to offset the lower sales numbers? Everything from Ada would be flying of...

All great, aside from RDNA3 being worse than expected. The problem mainly lies (as always) with bad vram descisions, bad pricing and generally bad sku tiers. All easily solved, but money rulezzz
