    News Nvidia RTX 5080 is reportedly available in Vietnam — RTX 5080 build on hold without driver support

    Nitpick: looks like someone is a little too autopilot mode and forgot AD was for Ada Lovelace and it should be GB for Blackwell.

    News G.Skill launches ultra-low-latency RAM for Intel and AMD CPUs — DDR5-6400 32GB memory kit dips to C30

    Soo... it will be on par or narrowly faster than their current budget offering at 32-39-39-102? I can't see how just the first word being 2 lower is much to celebrate - if they managed to get it to 28-32-32-95 I'd be suitably impressed. But, like I said, the current cheapest kit I can get is...

    News AMD's older Zen 4 gaming flagship pounds Zen 5 in new gaming benchmarks — Ryzen 7 7800X3D was up to 23% faster than Ryzen 9 9900X

    And in other breaking news, Scientists have discovered that water makes things wet, the sky behind the clouds is blue and leaves are varying shades of green. How is this article news? Multiple people from AMD and techYouTube have been saying this forever and has been the case since the OG X3D...

    Question What do i do if my XMP Profiles are all for 3200 MHZ? But i want to set it to 2666 MHZ

    Yes, If your board gives you the option, try to enable XMP then enter AI Tweaker and change the Memory Frequency to 2666MT/s. Some Motherboards will allow you to override XMP profiles. If you're lucky and your motherboard allow you to change the profile once XMP is on then don't be surprised if...

    Question What do i do if my XMP Profiles are all for 3200 MHZ? But i want to set it to 2666 MHZ

    You could try loading the XMP profile then manually setting the speed to 2666MT/s *if* you have the option. That would require the motherboard to support memory overclocking, the bonus would be that you'd get the (probably tighter) timings of the 3200 speed but slowed down to 2666MT/s for 'the...

    News Acer Predator X45 OLED Gaming Monitor Lands as Newegg Exclusive

    Why does every OLED panel manufacturer insist on not creating 27-28" panels? I find it shocking that almost every other size range has a High-PPI (120+), 120Hz OLED unit on the market except for the 27-28" range. Is it really that much to ask for 4 features? I don't need RGB, don't need a curve...

    News Asus' 49-inch, 5K QD-OLED Gaming Monitor Will Blow Your Mind

    I think I'm going to be an old man before they make the product that I'm looking for: 27-28" OLED, 4K @ 120hz There seems to be an OLED screen in every size category and configuration except this one which annoys me greatly. Ideally something affordable (for OLED) would be nice but we're...

    News GeForce RTX 4090 Has a Spirit Level To Prevent GPU Sagging

    I wouldn't be so quick to make that assumption. The US market appears to be on of the only ones where the pricing is 'sane'. I was speccing out a new hypothetical build over the weekend and, came to the conclusion that: If I were to get the specced items in the US - at US prices and send theme...

    News Samsung's First OLED Gaming Monitor Will Launch in Q4 2022

    Holy dickens, why the hell can't we just have a nice, 4K OLED, 27-28" 16:9 panel. I don't want or need Ultra Wide, bendable, smart - Just a nice, plain, flat, 4K, 120Hz, OLED panel.

    News Intel's Raptor Lake Mobile Benchmarked: Faster Than Alder Lake

    Additionally to Cyrusfox's point, someone failed maths class. Lets go over it slowly for those in the back: 4 P-Cores with HTT are 8.... 10 E-Cores with no HTT are 10 = Total of 14 Cores and 18 threads - Can't be this one, the numbers don't match 6 P-Cores with HTT are 12.... 8 E-Cores with no...

    Asus ROG Swift PG27U 4K Gaming Monitor Review: $2,000 & Worth Every Penny

    The price of this in New Zealand is at or over $4,000 at most places. I waited for these monitors for a very long time, but in the end I just bought an AOC AGON AG271UG. I would love to have 120hz and HDR but I can't justify *quadrupling* the price for it!

    Geekbench Scores May Have Leaked Surface Studio 2

    I wouldn't call it unfortunate, I'd call it disappointing if this actually correct. Personally I have been pinching pennies recently for either a new Surface Book 15" or Surface Studio with new 8th Gen CPU. I'm far less inclined to by a machine with 2 Gen old hardware when, in the same time...

    EA Shuts Down Visceral Games

    "Importantly, we are shifting the game to be a broader experience that allows for more variety and player agency" Soooo Microtransactions right? I assume that's what they mean... Honestly EA "knows" it's audience and they do love money so....

    Toshiba TR200 SSD Review

    Honestly, I MIGHT consider the drives a LITTLE bit if the capacities were twice the size at the same price.... I mean, I don't care how fast my glacier storage is... the things I tend to work on frequently are on a fast SSD but I have 2.5TB of other stuff to store, give me a 3.5" Storage SSD...

    MSI Makes GT75VR Titan Gaming Laptops Official, Forgets Price And Availability

    I'll have the GTX180 model please! That ought to make it super cheap right? (I assume it's meant to be 1080)
