    ASUS & MSI US Official Stores Raise GeForce RTX 5090 & 5080 MSRPs

    As I said before the artificially made scarcity of the 5000 series launch was an excuse to raise prices. Jensen Huang presented the 5080 to the world at the "LOW LOW" price of $999 knowing well in advance that there would be a massive scarcity He knew that the market would react with automatic...

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 And RTX 5080 Likely to Be Extremely Hard to Get at Launch

    Nothing drives up prices for a new gen GPUs as Artificial Scarcity With 85%+ market share and 100% dominance in the high end segment nVidias only worries is how much money they can squeeze out of each gamer When there is scarcity some people go crazy and pay an arm and a leg for GPUs, in 2021...

    PCI-SIG Releases PCI-Express Gen 7 Draft Specification 0.7—128 Gbps per Lane

    Concur, predictable and sad. We can never get enuf bandwidth, specially now with AI, so why not push the limits of PCIe 7.0 to192 GT/s or even 256GT/s. It takes several years to evolve just one step forward in a standard like PCIe, better go for the maximum performance each time. Why double...

    SK hynix Platinum P51 Launches in South Korea

    TBW rating is probably only for warranty purposes. It usually goes like Warranty valid for 5 year or up to 1200TBW which ever comes first. If you are heavy duty user they want to escape warranty responsibility as soon as possible and cap you out at 1200TBW for warranty claims. The true TBW is...

    AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

    Feel like the 9800x3D is just a tweaked version of the 7800x3D. No real advancements except 700MHz more base clock and a little overclocking head room. You could say 9800x3D is just the tweaked version of the 7800x3D. I was hoping to see a larger 3D cache in the 9800x3D BUT I am guessing AMD...

    AMD Releases The Last of Us Part 1 Optimized Radeon Software

    Sony optimized the game so bad you can't even get decent performance with a 4090, it's also unplayable since it crashes all the time. They made the game so bad for PC that people will be forced to get a PS5 to play the game The perfect market strategy to sell more PS5

    NVIDIA Prepares H800 Adaptation of H100 GPU for the Chinese Market

    I was not referring to a one card computer where chip-to-chip interconnect bandwidth does not matter Building massive AI models with thousands of H800 units high chip-to-chip interconnect bandwidth is very important BUT in this case the Chinese will have a simple solution with only increasing...

    NVIDIA Prepares H800 Adaptation of H100 GPU for the Chinese Market

    Same chip with half memory bandwidth will make no difference in the end. The Chinese will just increase the chip count and consume more electricity to get the same result. Big hand to Jensen Huang for doing anything to get richer even at the cost of our environment. The best solution had been...

    The Last of Us Part 1 PC System Requirements Unveiled

    Yea sure Sony, 4K needs 5900X (12 core) and RTX4800, one of two things is happening here. Either they are very bad at optimizing the game OR they do some hidden marketing to make it look like PS5 is super powerful at lower value compared to an expensive gaming PC Direct out of Sony's...

    NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti, 3060 LHR Tested in Cryptomining Workloads

    First fun fact, Sweden uses 56% renewable energy from solar, wind and water. Problem is not blockchain tech, it is what kind of energy source you use. You funny man :) your solution is to ban something you don't understand. Why not say that they have to use renewable energy instead of banning...

    AMD Confirms Radeon RX 6000 Series Laptop GPUs are "Coming Soon"

    AMD have known the situation of the market since Nvidia premiered the 3000 series in September and if they have been uncapable to increase production capacity in 6 months there is some thing wrong with their business model. They can blame what ever they want but it is still their responsibility...

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti to Have Crippled Crypto-Mining Performance

    Hashrate limiter is just a gimmick from Nvidia. AMD now has stated that they have no plans for a hashrate limiter so it is just a matter of time before Nvidia anonymously "leaks" a work around to keep miners buying the cards. This way they will look like the good guy and still make all that...
