A whole slew of new motherboards for people that aren't interested in their newest CPU generation.

As a diehard Windows gamer, I tried to make a transition to Linux. I exploit virtually every available Windows feature to make things easier for me. And again, I am a gamer, which is still not Linux's strong suit. But my last time trying this was like over 10 years ago, so I wanted to try...

Clickbait article at its best Klotz. But the fools will debate it.

"...We think people buy high-end cards to be able to crank up all the settings, and there are RT-enabled games where the 4080 Super delivers a playable result while the 7900 XTX does not." (y) (y) (y)

Love my 4070 Ti Super.

Even a regular 7950X3D is a very impressive, sophisticated processor. If you want "it all", gaming, professional workloads, it delivers like no others. I am looking forward to seeing the 8000 series and its comparative performance. Maybe an 8800X3D?

Print money, create jobs.

I bought an MSI Suprim X 4090, 1 year ago using an ATX 3.0 cable and power supply. Zero problems.

If you can find an ultrawide 4K for around that price, let us all know. :)

Not true. It had similar hardware requirements as competing Windows versions.

I have an MSI 4090 and an ATX 3.0 PSU. I love the clean single cable and never had a problem with both on my daily driver gaming PC. This issue was way overhyped by tech sites like this and by harnessing the GPU price compliant whining chorus when the 4000 series launched.

Many users are moving large files back and forth, or are manipulating them, and every second saved can make a difference. But for most of us gamers you're right, the experienced delta and cost thereof isn't worth it. Having the "fastest" is an early adopter tax for those with deep pockets that...

I am pleased with my T700 purchase. $299.00 for 2TB? Are you kidding me? In 3 years it will be $169.00 on Black Friday.

Very informative piece that goes back down memory lane. I remember for quite some time when INTEL was THE CPU brand name. The trusted, "you can't go wrong..." choice. But AMD delivered the 64bit era to desktop PCs, and made multi-cores both affordable and common. Versus Intel trying to milk...

I've owned 2 Optane drives and I'm a gamer 90% of the time. Random reads and writes do not noticeably improve the consumer PC user experience. Random iOPS improves the opening of numerous small files like Excel Word documents, photos, etc. Where Optane did help significantly was on server...
