"SuperPi is one of the most popular benchmarks with overclockers and tweakers. It has been used in world-record competitions since forever. It is a purely single-threaded CPU test that calculates Pi to a large number of digits—32 million for our testing. Released in 1995" ......... Never change...

AMD... they have to get their drivers working proper. I had four Polaris cards (2 x 480, 2 x 580) and one major issue was always software problems. Game breaking bugs, crashes, black screens, you name it, all of it went away by switching to the green team. Again, AMD gfx gear always looks...

So my AM4 Gigabyte X370 Gaming 5 is compatible with these Zen3's, or Zen2, or Zen+ even? Yeah, I thought so. The much vaunted AMD "platform longevity" in action. ... .. .

So, grab these at $150 a pop in 2025 off of ebay, when RTX 5090 64GB GDDR7 model rolls out??? :) ... .. .

Ouuufffff! Might be worth getting to just see what it does to legacy bechmarks like 3DMark 01 and 03 combined with say a 10900k in 5.3-5.4GHz range on AIO. Non exotic way to grab some HWbot records. Oh yeah, new games, and all that other stuff in the review. Awesome tech! I guess... Not gonna...

Do you remember back in very early 2000s when Microsoft was pushing .NET as clean, pure, rapid and easy to deploy framework to replace the "DLL hell!!!". Oh my! 20 years later and "DLL hell!!!" seems like paradise. .NET interframework version incompatibilities are infamous. Framework itself is...

Hmm, I can force SLI profiles on games that have none, both with my 1070's, 980ti's, GTX 580's, 550TI's, etc etc, and still have amazing success and pretty amazing scaling. This seems like more of a corporate "does this help us make more money or less?" maneuvering and obsoletion by force than...

I've been hearing about the multi threaded revolution on desktops "very soon!" for close to 20 years now. I will wait for that in the same way I will/did wait for "VR revolution!" or "PhysX revolution!" or "BIG NAVI!" or any other "just you wait! (insert rnd#-of-years) for the (whatever...

Can we get some x86 desktop options from nvidia!? Intel has stagnated a bit (14+++++ to infinity) and AMD is re-purposing server stuff for desktop and calling it a revolution (/r/AMD and Ryzen cult crowd will have a word to say about that I bet :rolleyes:). A nvidia desktop option would be nice...

That seems like a legitimate estimate. We are looking at what... 750g of material? Probably nickel plated copper (vapor chamber layout?), non-exotic fans by all accounts, no bling of any kind other than some aluminum trimming (posibly silver painted plastic even). This is not some next-gen...

Techwiz Youtuber nonsense and clickbait aside, as well as questionable "leaks", do we have official info on $150 cooler? I know a little bit about metallurgy and a bit about electronics, so where are the cost #s coming from? (/r/AMD doesn't qualify) Are the motor windings in those fans not...

What's the ROP count on these? ... .. .

Just per-ordered three RTX 3090 cards, turns out only two card SLI is supported, oh well. Kids are crying in the corner because of no food. Car getting repossessed! :D Am I doing this right? :D ... .. .

HWbot friends, HWbot. Just took some 3DMark 01 and 03 records the other day. Crazy what you can do with Comet Lake and custom WinXP install tweaked to run on Z490 platform. :D ... .. .

Got my hands on a Cosmos II 25th Anniversary edition month ago, brand new in box, old stock. Haven't used it for anything yet. I have several old Cosmos 1000 cases but this thing seems much bigger. Might be a base for a 3090 SLI build... not that I play modern games anymore (do user made...
