    News Nvidia's shortages are limiting PC GPU market growth, looming tariffs also impacting sales

    Controlled demand and supply, you mean. How on earth invest money in a new cards with all fake frame nonsense and worse incremental uplift. I am so glad AMD stepped up the game. I also wish demand for AI GPU-driven products decreases. At the moment, they hardly give big fat F O K about making...

    Review ViewSonic VX1654 portable monitor review: One trick pony

    Given that Arzopa offers a superior monitor with 100% sRGB colour gamut for less, I wonder why Viewsonic bothered to create such a poor product. I bet they only argument is based on brand recognition.

    News RTX 5090 FE unboxing reveals eco-friendly packaging — an inkless box made of "paper fibers

    Surely they didn't have to show a corrugated side of the carboard as if we don't believe them. That bit is pretty much a cheap "I am eco friendly warrior" statement in my eyes. Which is obvious anyway.

    Hi, I have an Aerocool Hexform case with x3 preinstalled fans. They are daisy-chained Molex connectors. What is the cheapest solution for fan control? Convert? If so, would one converter to 4=pin do a job? My motherboard is ASUS PRIME B650M-A WIIFI II. Ideally, I would settle for a few...

    News Each Bitcoin transaction consumes 4,200 gallons of water — enough to fill a swimming pool — and could potentially cause freshwater shortages

    It says nothing about how exactly these gallons were used. Obviously water for the cooling is reused too. Was that taken into account. How about all they rain water that is being wasted when it goes down the drain!

    News AMD Ryzen 7000 Chips on Massive Sale, Starting at $249

    This should have been prided right from the start. AM5 build up comes a huge price tag. At this point, if Intel offers 10-15% off , I think they will provide better value.

    News AMD Ryzen 9 7950X and Ryzen 5 7600X Review: A Return to Gaming Dominance

    It is kind of tempting to get 7600X until you do the math then DDR5 taxes you, then you need proper cooling to keep high ghz count if you don't I am not sure why then buy this CPU. Extra few hundred dollars is a lot and in my case better spend them elsewhere. At this point 12600K makes...

    News AMD Ryzen 9 7950X and Ryzen 5 7600X Review: A Return to Gaming Dominance

    Thanks. It seems i5 12600k does a slightly better job in rendering which I need. Just a 20% higher power draw. What else should I consider?

    News Intel Expects Continued Market Share Loss Throughout 2023, Will Likely Exit More Businesses

    "Gelsinger remarked that while the new chips are 'better than the AMD alternatives" in power and performance ". I doubt if repeating this mantra will fill the void he is in but keep on doing it mate.
