    not receiving password reset email from tomshardware

    So I cannot reset my password because I never receive the reset email to my outlook; and it is not in spam folder; is there another way...because something is broke with outlook and tomshardware? Basicalky can only ask about this because I have 1 android device that was still logged in.

    Question XFX Merc 310 - - - black screen after bios splash-screen on X58 motherboards ?

    No; that's a marketing myth done via not using max settings; once you max settings the cpu advantage drops massively; if you're playing 1080p with just high or base ultra yes; but if you are maxing settings 1440p on up those canned marketing benchmarks start to show holes.

    News Nvidia Touts DLSS and DLAA for Baldur's Gate 3

    Honestly I stopped using DLSS and raytracing; the former looks worse than native and the latter makes it look like vaseline got smeared allover the games. In either case one can see that "The Emperor's New Clothes" fable was more of a primer on humans self inflicted idealized blinders.

    News Steam Deck vs. Asus ROG Ally: Gaming Handheld Faceoff

    Sure kid. That's why only Asus boards die. I've built dozens of systems; and only the Asus ones have ever had motherboard issues like this on a recurring basis.

    News Steam Deck vs. Asus ROG Ally: Gaming Handheld Faceoff

    With Asus customer service and quality control; quantified by their recent blatant dishonesty in screwing customers out of their warranty to fix a detonating motherboard situation that Asus themselves created...definitely look at this as a polished turd. Would go with Steam any day of the week...
