As someone that really loves this game, the 'content' the past ~6 months has been content I'm not particularly interested in. It's basically just been 2 new game modes, Havoc & now Trials. Neither are what I'm personally looking for. I would like to see a new class (it's been 2.5 years) and a...

We're in the age of the internet. If it affects 1 customer and the thread goes viral(in the tech/hardware world), it can give the illusion of affecting many more as AI publications are quick to jump on it as they see it trending in the algorithm. Rumors are great clickbait to drive traffic. Not...

A 24GB 5080 Super/Ti makes sense if there are enough 5090's that can't be a 5090. Might as well do something useful with those dies, though I see it more likely that they'll be turned into workstation cards rather than retail cards, unless they have an absolutely huge amount of bad 5090's...

Lowkey calling me clueless, good work. I listen to random hifi channels from time to time, I know there are a lot of nuances to headphones, sound and frequency response in general. However, you can make a product stack from the same companysimple with my naming convention utilizing frequency...

Yes, I understand that those are the desirable cards for consumers. Just wondering why you think a company would sell $549 cards when they can just bump up the price to $600-700 and people will still buy them? These companies are under no obligation to sell the cards for MSRP, and with no stock...

Theoretically you could have a decent numerical system in-house that only needs to include say, 4 numbers and a indication of closed or open back. This would be an extremely simplified extrapolation of sound, but could help with understanding the difference between product stacks with headphones...

Half a dozen cards at MSRP, that seemingly haven't had stock since at or near-release. Maybe occasional stock, probably picked up by bots instantly, but yes, I'm not in the market for a 5070, so I don't pay close attention. Brief attention shows 0 5070's at MSRP anywhere on the internet. The...

Does the Sennheiser naming scheme have any sort of logic to it? Is there a certain sound signature that the 500 & 600 series target for them to name these headphones, or is the 1st the tier of headphone, followed by the sound signatures for the 2nd & 3rd digit? Or am I overthinking and...

Not sure MSRP models of the 5070 have ever existed outside of the maybe few thousand founders edition that Nvidia sold on their site, and a few thousand scattered temporarily throughout Microcenter's in the US. This card is roughly the realistic MSRP for the 5070, right now. 5070 non-ti's will...

Would rather buy a TLC that performs slightly lower in general (like the Kioxia Exceria Plus G3) every day of the week than these QLC drives. Will I ever write over 400GB to a drive at one time? Probably not, but there could be occasions of moving steam folders and/or media folders where I may...

Doesn't seem like enough to even start up wafer fabrication? Are they planning on getting second hand 200nm+ equipment from China or Singapore?

If you're playing at 1440p with a GTX 970, then you're either playing very old games, low-requirement games like MOBA's, or modern games with the settings turned WAY down. Some games won't even boot with 4GB GPU's anymore. In any case, you're not going to run into much VRAM usage problems before...

When do we consider MSRP to be MFRP(Manufacturers Fictional Retail Price)? It's clear all MSRP's are fictional right now. $800 is crazy for a 9070XT. Worse Performance per dollar than a 7800XTX.

Been on the burner for a while. We haven't had a WHQL GPU driver since December. That + the 9070 series makes for a big update.

I'm in the same boat. The less than 1.5x improvement from going from a 6800XT to a 9070XT doesn't feel like enough, but FSR4 and finally usable raytracing is the tempting bit. I think I'll end up waiting for UDNA/NV6xxx series. The next series from both AMD & Nvidia should come with better...
