    News Benchmarked: Crysis 3 Running on GPU VRAM and System RAM Disks

    Bandwidth saturation is something that needs to be considered the VRAM came out ahead slightly in the real world 4K performance for average and 99 percentile results. I think that could be due to being faster than SSD/NVME while at the same time being as fast as RAMDISK at read speeds which is...

    News Gamer installs Crysis 3 On GeForce RTX 3090's VRAM - And It Runs

    I think the VRAM's potential as storage is limited by the CPU cache. It's also really only practical to accelerate the read speed and I guess copy speed. The write speed is where the PCI-E bus slow down comes into play.

    News AMD Ryzen 7 3800X Glides Past Intel Core i9-9900K In Leaked Geekbench Numbers

    Ryzen 7 3800X chip has twice as much L2 & L3 cache overall per core than the Intel i9-9900K. For single thread workloads the the clock speed frequency is probably a more important factor, but in multi-thread workloads at least heavily multi-core ones that extra L2/L3 cache size per core probably...

    AMD Radeon VII Supply Will Be Extremely Limited - Reports

    Wait now suddenly it's OMG they might not have enough of them at launch time to have a good cry about it? I thought the majority of people were boarder line making remarks like the card is a failure and no one will buy it because it's not a Titan for Vega 64 price thus no one would buy it over...

    How to Buy the Right CPU

    I agree on R5-2600 is compelling at it's price range the tweaked Zen+ version that has the improved precision boost is a well rounded chip that is easy to recommend in almost any case over what Intel offers in a similar price bracket range. Unless you really only play at 1080p exclusively it's...

    Nvidia Announces GeForce RTX 2070 Availability, Pricing, Specs

    Can't forget the GTX1080 being competitively priced it's probably the best sweet spot on the high end range for GPU's. RTX2070 should ideally come close to 1080Ti performance and maybe overclocked match it for like 1070Ti price range meaning about $375-$425. I think it has to pretty much sit in...

    Win one today! Seagate BarraCuda Pro & IronWolf Pro 14TB capacity enables 4K gaming and your high capacity creative workflow.

    What I need from a mechanical HD is bigger capacity DRAM caching and on a better interface SATA is dated move on to PCI-E so the cache itself can operate more efficiently and not be so bottle necked by the interface itself. There is a reason i-RAM never really succeeded particularly well and...

    GPU Prices Plunge: GTX 1080 Ti Now $526

    [/quotemsg] I am a bit curious about the 2060. Don't think I'll go for a 2070 if they don't drop below $500. But if a 2060 comes close to a 1080 for my 1440p games, maybe that's the way to go.[/quotemsg] Yeah I'm thinking the 2060 might be pretty reasonable depending on how closely it compared...

    G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3200 C16 16GB Dual-Channel Kit Review: Gray-Area Memory

    It's more stress on the memory controller, but more performance out of the memory. DDR4 has a new feature called bank groups that DDR3 and prior lacked. It provides for better burst access speeds. It also has twice as many banks as well which can be accessed in parallel.
