In 10 years we'll have another new USB format and they'll finally put in more than two USB-Cs, got it

New gen is incoming, so let's dream for a moment and discuss what we'd love to see and have. Popular, unpopular, whatever, all opinions go. More USB-C than USB-A ports: Most of the stuff I personally have and use today is now on USB-C. Seeing just a couple of C-ports on flagship boards is...

Admittedly, my view on the matter is silly, but I do genuinely believe that if they at least keep tinkering away and trying dumb stuff then maybe eventually someone hits the jackpot and a new design takes off. If nobody keeps trying anything then we will be stuck with what we have. It's...

Sensing a lot of "old good, new bad" vibes. Let's see if this brings better speeds, oc, memory cooling and/or something else and then judge. Hey, maybe one day they'll gather the confidence to come together and replace ATX too. Little by little!

Card beats the next tier with good OC, this has never happened in the history! /s

It was also the noisiest fan in testing, cause it's small. Slapping a giant 140mm over the entire side really is the best option.

Never. What they gonna do, ask me for consent to steal my data? It's all over the net already anyway. If someone tried to insert something even more nefarious into it, I'm sure at least in 2024 they wouldn't be able to properly enforce it anyway, we're not yet completely in a dystopian cyberpunk...

They have to beat the X3D parts all around the board. I want to believe!

Insane deal for people building new rigs, even if Zen5 and ARL are just around the corner.

Nothing exciting for the home enthusiast market, I gather...

It's cooler to play the game *and* have cool lights reflecting off street water! And in 5 years we might be even able to do that without ugly upscalers.

Happy for AMD fans that are going to finally check out how cool path tracing looks in CP77 and Alan Wake 2 but I regret to inform them that the performance was complete garbage even on 4090 and they'll have to join everyone else in dreaming of some distant future cards that will be able to run...

The more I'm exposed to repetitive or droning loud-ish noises, the more ringing I start to notice again (it's always there but "get used to ignore it" works to a certain extent), so it gets much worse if I spend 4 hours near a highway than after a short but very loud gig, for example. I have no...
