    Question What's the deal with the RX 580 ?

    I'm still running an RX 580 with an ancient i5 4590, I get decent frame rates (well over 60) in non-demanding games with a little tweaking to settings. It's a heck of a card for its time, but an RX 6600 (non-xt) will stomp it all over the place for the most part. And yes, I'm building a new...

    News Chinese-developed nuclear battery has a 50-year lifespan — Betavolt BV100 built with Nickel-63 isotope and diamond semiconductor material

    All I can say is, I've played enough Fallout games to know that this is a terrible plan for a battery, no matter what anyone says. Don't use actual freaking science to convince me either way, because it won't work.

    Testing GPUs with AMD FSR3 and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora — 16 graphics cards and hundreds of benchmarks

    Oddly enough, I always play a female character in games that give me a choice. I played The Witcher even though I'm "forced"to play a male main character. So what's the issue? Andrew Tate syndrome?

    News Nvidia CEO Jensen is worth $42 billion but still eats street food at street markets and visits LAN parties during overseas trips

    I hope Mark got paid by Nvidia for this advertisement about how awesomely normal their CEO is, as opposed to massively overpaid compared to the average worker who builds their stuff. (same goes for AMD btw)

    News Redditor finds heavy block of iron shavings inside cheap PSU, also appears to lack safety protections

    Been using a Seasonic for 8 years now in current build. Nothing fancy, but never ever a problem. Next build will require MOAR POWER! But I know which company I'll be buying from.

    News Nvidia Wouldn't Exist if CEO Could Turn the Clock Back 30 Years

    I call crap on that comment, he could have retired 10 years ago and had more money than most people would ever DREAM OF. Just sayin' ;)

    News Taiwanese Companies Deny Helping Huawei Produce Chips

    Just tossing this out there, but what do you mean by Neo-Liberal? Because my understood definition would have nothing to do with capital punishment at all, more a fiscal definition.

    News China Denies iPhone Ban, but the Devil Is in the Details

    Actually Huawei and ZTE were both banned for their telecommunications equipment under the Trump era in 2018. (this is not a diatribe against Trump btw). It ended up extending to things like phones, though the details of the phone thing I don't have all the details of, so I'm not sure actual...

    News AMD Announces Radeon RX 7800 XT at $499, RX 7700 XT at $449

    Agree the pricing does seem a bit wonky. I mean, who's going to buy the 7700 xt when the 7800 xt is only $50 more? I know which one I'd pick :P
