    News Game developers urge Nvidia RTX 30 and 40 series owners rollback to December 2024 driver after recent RTX 50-centric release issues

    Of course the irony is bitingly funny after hearing the same shtick about drivers for years. It isn't super funny if you just sunk 4 digits on a GPU and find the thing black screens or stutters because ngreedia doesn't seem to care about gaming anymore.

    News Nvidia power meltdowns hit 8-pin adaptors — old power supplies are the common factor

    Nope, I don't buy the PSU excuse. If it is a 15 year old fire hazard brand, that's one thing, but a 15 year old premium PSU that shows up the correct voltages under load. gtg

    News Retailers selling base model RX 9070 GPUs at 22% markup compared to MSRP — 9070 XT now typically starts at $799

    One can blame the companies, or the retailers, but the enemy is really us, the consumer is setting the price. Ever since the pandemic/ethereum perfect storm, people are willing to overvalue and overpay.

    Where to buy AMD's Radeon RX 9070 series graphics cards

    Aaaaand, it isn't looking like a legitimate launch, how unfortunate for AMD. nvidia will win out again.

    Review AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 review: An excellent value, if supply is good

    For the typical average gamer AMD fixed the drivers at least 5 years ago and never looked back. The shtick about them having bad drivers is propaganda from people trying to discredit them to charge their confirmation bias that they made the correct purchase. No one likes to feel or be made...

    Review AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 review: An excellent value, if supply is good

    While it all looks okay, anyone saying a 600 dollar GPU is saving PC gaming has several screws loose, again. But, it seems the real battle will be supply chain, it will be the winner if you can actually walk in to a BB and purchase, or get one on Amazon or NE without having to be on the lookout...

    News Nvidia RTX 5070 Founders Edition won't be available on launch day, coming 'later in March

    It isn't even April 1st. When is a debut not? Answer, when they don't have any stock to sell, I'm guessing.

    Review Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 review: $549 price and performance look decent on paper

    This is the first review I've read, and I'd have to say that was an unexpectedly poor result. Leaving out the 4070S was on purpose(probably on urging from someone who provided the hardware for testing, we can guess who), no doubt because that was what it needed to stand up to and be compared...

    News MSI quietly raises prices of its supposed RTX 5070 Ti MSRP models

    Ha. The AMD based cards aren't going to be a deal. Anyone thinking 600 dollar and up mid tier GPUs are saving PC gaming has more than one screw loose. Those prices are not viable for the majority of PC users.

    News RTX 5070 appears on Best Buy at MSRP — Asus Prime listed for $549.99 days before official launch

    It isn't hardball if they only have a few nationwide and then have no stock for four months. I would guess the real competition will be who actually has (non scalper)cards for sale.

    News Nvidia explains the missing ROPs — defective silicon in 0.5% of RTX 5090 and 5070 Ti GPUs

    The cynic in me knows that they knew all along. The majority of consumers will not bother to look, the majority do not read hardware websites either. When faced with what looks to be a four month wait(?!) to get an RMA, again, what will a lot of people do?

    Discussion What's your favourite video game you've been playing?

    Subnautica But like any game I have ever played it is a curse. I have real trouble putting a game down. I tell myself I'm just going to go for one goal, the next goal, or a 45 minute session, and 4 hours later I haven't hardly moved in my chair.

    News Some RTX 5090s are shipping with missing ROP units, leading to less gaming performance: Report

    The more you spend the less you'll get! "Like my jacket?"

    Review Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti review: A proper high-end GPU

    The truth of the matter is nvidia won't say what is really going on. It is business, the majority of the silicon is going to AI clusters and databases for the big money and they don't really care about gaming. Also: Look at the cult members lining up regardless of how many boots to the...
