    AMD Radeon VII Benchmarks Seemingly Leak: Stiff Competition for RTX 2080

    For all you first time AMD fans here. You are about to get a rude introduction into how Radeon launches go. The last 4 years have been the same sad and disappointing pattern. We will see soon enough. When Vega launched way back, they had to push the savings found in freesync monitors to help...

    AMD To Release New 'Raven Ridge 2018' Processors This Year

    SWEET! NEW "APU"s that nobody will really care about outside of discount BestBuy PCs... Can't wait to have this thing go by completely unnoticed like every. single. other. APU chip to date. If we are lucky, it might be used in some laptops nobody will buy too!

    Why Are Nvidia's GeForce RTX GPUs So Expensive?

    All I am getting from all these posts are that people are upset that they cannot afford them. Not being able to afford new shiny tech is not really a reason to hate on it. The cost price IS justified if you know anything about electronics and chip manufacturing, and what it takes to do that...

    Nvidia Announces GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, 2080, 2070 (Developing)

    Nobody is making you buy the new cards. Yes they are expensive, no its not for everyone, and yes those who can afford it will likely get killer performance because of it. Its really not much different than other generations in my book. People complain about the prices of the top tier cards...

    Alienware Refreshing Aurora, Area 51 with New Nvidia and AMD Graphics

    AMD cards? If there is anything to include it would be the underwhelming 1 year old cards. Hardly new, or worth buying today. And if AMD does announce new cards (600 series or new Vega cards) soon completely surprising people. It will be the same story as it will likely be a rebrand and nothing...

    The Monitors And Displays Of CES 2018 (Archive)

    This is all so very disappointing... Super frustrated with the monitor market this year. This is a significant step back from what was supposed to come out last year, but never did. Screen tech is taking a pretty big step backwards with this really disappointing CES. We are still waiting on the...

    Bitcoin Value Plummets Following BTC China Shutdown Announcement

    I love seeing all the miner on here defending their "investments" Really guys... trading in glorified WoW gold was not a good investment. Sell it while you can and laugh about it as you get older. Lets not forget that everyone here defending cryptocurrency only cares about them at all because...

    So, Uh, Atari's New 'Speakerhats' Are A Real Thing

    Atari makes some cheap hat gimick and there are people who think thats worth "investing in Atari stock" for? Really makes you wonder what some people are thinking these days... Must be the same people investing in AMD right now. Kids who think that a nearly bankrupt company that hasn't seen...

    AMD Unveils Threadripper Retail Packaging

    Sorry KingGremlin, but few very if any companies at all will buy AMD chips for years to come much less "Threadripper" Companies are not interested in marketing hype. Or even in the little bit of "added performance to dollar". Companies will spend much more $$ just to have a given product that...

    AMD Vega Frontier Edition Now Available For Pre-Order With $999 Price Tag

    I am not sure why people are saying that the Vega Frontier card is not for gaming... It is nearly 100% marketed towards the Titan Xp crowd. Which is a combination Gaming/workstation card. That is what this is. I will probably get slammed for saying it is a "gaming card" is the same right as the...

    First Expansion For 'Runescape' Opens The Door To Menaphos

    VR DEV wrong article? Also, since just today Apple in fact corrected all those complaints of yours. Did you miss the new iMac pro announcement? It's expensive of course. But, 18 core Xeon's and 16GB HBM2 Vega GPUs sort of... make you sound like yesterdays news. Keep up with tech, as a dev you...

    AMD Announces Radeon Vega Frontier Edition

    Careful, The AMD fanboys are strong here. I literally am running all AMD hardware, and criticizing AMD's slowness is often met with some body spouting off some ridiculous defense for that. We will be lucky to see Consumer versions of Vega before August.
