    CORSAIR Launches Web-Based Firmware Update Utility, Enabling Updates Without Additional Software

    Will this work independent of your operating system? Like will it update firmware of devices that are connected to a Linux based computer? If so that would be interesting. EDIT: I now see it is cross platform, much more interesting.) But if its just a glorified web interface for downloading and...

    Cloud Imperium Games Unveils Star Citizen 4.1: Orbital Assault - A Major Step Forward in Space Simulation Technology

    I had some fun playing around in this but was quite surprised when I went to uninstall it that it had no uninstaller at the time. Just about to build my new system so maybe I'll jump in and check it out again.

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB SKU Likely Launching at $499, According to Supply Chain Leak

    Why even bother with MSRPs anymore? They don't seem to mean anything.

    AMD Radeon RX 9070-series Pricing Leaks Courtesy of MicroCenter

    So for a base xt we're looking at a grand in Canada plus another 13% in tax plus shipping in Ontario. Great. Glad I waited for this launch to build my new system... [sarcasm]

    PC Enthusiast's Next Stop is... 12VHPWR Power Connector with Active Fan Cooling?

    How about making cards more efficient so they require less power draw and by extension no silly power connectors?

    Digital Foundry Believes that Nintendo Switch 2's Tegra T239 SoC is 8 nm Part

    I only ever buy nintendo systems to play Pokemon. But this will be the first one I don't. I do not like how they recently treated a bunch of people emulating their games (even if they own copies the things). And this new console feels very low effort to me at least in design. We dont know the...

    Sapphire Semi-reveals Dual-Fan Pulse Radeon RX 9000 Design

    I guess this will be my next gpu. Havent seen any other white models shown off, even in AMD's preview. Not that I have a problem with Sapphire. It would just be nice to see a little more choice.

    AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Benchmarked in 3D Mark Time Spy Extreme and Speed Way

    Interesting performance numbers. I am in the middle of parting together my newest gaming PC and it will have a flavour of this card in it (even with the stupid name). It'll be a decent upgrade to what I have now. I do wish we'd see more focus on power efficiency with GPUs and CPUs.

    I guess I'm not the display snob so many are nowadays. I have two Zowies and they do fine.

    ZOWIE Introduces XL2586X+ eSports Monitor With 600Hz Refresh Rate

    TN is TYPICALLY gross but not all the time. Zowie has done a pretty good job with their panels reproducing colour. Would I ever need or want one that can do 600fps? No. I do appreciate them pushing the envelope.

    ASUS Drops Sneak Peek of Upcoming AMD AM5 Motherboards

    I hear you. For my upcoming build (which is waiting for these new boards to arrive) I just want a no compromises x series matx board. But they're impossible to get. I don't need any extra pcie slots besides m.2. thats all i want.

    ASUS Drops Sneak Peek of Upcoming AMD AM5 Motherboards

    I'd really like to see these companies build more matx boards. Ever since dual gpu has basically died on the consumer side the need for that second full size pcie slot is really not there for me. Im not saying kill off others, just give me more choice in the matx form factor.

    AMD Radeon "RX 8800 XT" is Actually the RX 9070 XT?

    What you attached literally shows AMD/Radeon changing every naming every few generations...

    AMD Radeon "RX 8800 XT" is Actually the RX 9070 XT?

    I am really tired of AMD changing naming conventions of their stuff within a few generations. It just makes it confusing for the consumer.

    What DLSS/FSR Upscaling Mode do you use?

    I stated performance but I only do that on my x86 handhelds. On my main rig I do not use FSR. It's native or nothing for me.
