    News Gamer Pairs RTX 4070 with Pentium. DLSS 3 Makes it Playable

    If you're going to do an experiment like this then you need to include latency in your results. DLSS 3 doesn't just render fake frames without improving latency but it actually increases the latency

    News Alleged RTX 4080 Time Spy and Blender Benchmarks Emerge

    These benchmarks are likely fake. There would never be a larger boost in performance at 1440p than at 4k. It's saying there's a 32% boost in performance going from the 3090 Ti to the 4080 at 1440p in Time Spy but in Time Spy Extreme at 4k where there would be a GPU bottleneck instead of a CPU...

    News Colorful's $4,999 RTX 3090 Card is an Overclocker's Dream

    2010 mhz isn't impressive. Both of my 3090s (ftw3 and kp) hit over 2000 MHz stock.

    Review Asus ROG Maximus XIII Extreme/Extreme Glacial Review: Z590 Flagships on Air or Water

    Instead of testing at optimized default settings, you should consider testing while normalizing bclk and power limits. It's well known that motherboard manufacturers boost performance by giving those a bump so it would be a better comparison of actual performance differences by manually entering...

    Review Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero Review: Crosshair Goes Stealth for Zen3

    It's an 8 phase, not a 16 phase. It has dual power stages running in parallel, like the article says, meaning it's still an 8 phase VRM. You can't have an 8 phase pwm controller make 16 phases without doublers. If the power stages were running in a serial configuration with doublers then it...

    Review Cooler Master ML360 Sub-Zero Review: Frigid Temps for LGA1200

    So toms hardware completely missed the point of this cooler. It's not for single core/thread overclocking. It's for creating custom TVB rules to get insanely high frequency at low thread counts, pretty high frequency at medium high thread count, and slightly overclocked frequency at full thread...

    News Asus Preps Huge 4K HDMI 2.1 Gaming Monitor in Time for PS5, Xbox Series X

    PG43UQ uses DSC over display port. It doesn't use any compression over HDMI 2.0. Over HDMI it's still capped at 4k 60 hz

    [SOLVED] Asus ROG Maximus XI Apex DIMM.2 wiring direct to CPU (shared with GPU) or via PCH?

    Don't worry about it. The manual is completely wrong. Both M.2 slots from the Dimm.2 run off of the pch. I have the Maximus XI Apex with 2 2080 Ti's running in SLI with 2 970 Pros and everything runs fine. I worried about this too when looking at the manual but the literally just copied and...

    Question PC will not enter POST, possible motherboard failure?

    Assuming the CPU isn't overheating or massively overclocked I'd say it is a pretty safe assumption that it's the motherboard. If you haven't tried one stick of ram at a time, I'd do that. See if one works and one fails. If that doesn't do anything different and you haven't removed the CPU...

    Question Overclocked RAM now display won't turn on

    any ddr4 should run at 2400. If you haven't already, try one stick at a time assuming you have more than one. Single channel ram is a huge bottleneck so I'd think you'd have 2. If it still doesn't boot chances are it's not the ram. I'd also try to reseat the 8 pin CPU power cable and the GPU...

    Maximus X Hero WiFi-AC with 9900K or upgrade to Z390 board?

    That video volkgren posted shows a Z390 Maximus XI Hero, not a Code.
