    News Nvidia RTX 5080 rumored to hit shelves on January 21 — expected to debut at CES with sales embargo reportedly lifting two weeks later

    At the rumored prices, they can keep all of these cards. I can't crank all the settings up on my 10GB 3080 at 4k, but at this point the value in the 5000 series just isn't there.

    News Nvidia RTX 5080 and AMD RX 9070 GPUs listed ahead of launch — Asus is reportedly readying a new "Astral" GPU lineup

    Hold out for the refresh with the correct amount of VRAM (24gb) for the 5080.

    News Nvidia's RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 allegedly sport 16GB and 12GB of GDDR7 memory, respectively — Up to 8960 CUDA cores, 256-bit memory bus, and 300W...

    I know it’s Christmas and all, but maybe the hardware “journalists” should stop being shills and immediately <Mod Edit> on NVIDIA for gimping these cards with anemic amounts of VRAM. I’m keeping my 3080 for another 2 years.

    News GeForce RTX 4080 Emerges at U.S. Retailer Starting at $1,199

    They can keep them. Mere mortals can't afford these high end prices. I paid $899 for an RTX 3080 in October '20 and it felt like a rip-off then. I can't see myself spending more than $400-$500 on a video card in the future. Folks are better off with an Xbox Series X + a keyboard/mouse at this rate.

    News Nvidia RTX 4080 Allegedly Overclocks to 3GHz at Default 320W TDP

    The NVIDIA marketing machine is trying so hard... Sorry, not interested. Still rockin' my 3080 from November 2020 with no plans to upgrade for at least 2 years.

    News AMD RDNA 3 GPU Specs: Up To 12,288 ALUs, 96MB Infinity Cache

    My experience with AMD video cards' drivers a decade ago still keeps me from considering them again. On the other hand, my 1st gen Ryzen 1950X Threadripper has been rock solid (OC'd to 4.0ghz) since day one (nearly 5 years ago.) So there's hope.

    Review Crucial X6 4TB Portable SSD Review: A Ton of Storage on the Go

    What a Terrible review. Compare it to other 4tb external SSD drives. Oh, there aren’t many and they cost much much more. This device provides a ton of storage and a cheaper price point. There has to be compromise somewhere. [mod edit: language]
