    GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB vs RTX 5060 Ti 16GB GPU face-off: how much difference does twice the memory make for the same chip?

    This actually, it's kind of ridiculous that it can't do 1080p ultra at $400 brand new for a GPU only... I am kind of fine for them to sell skyhigh price for the HALO product, but you better offer something reasonably decent at 4k ultra for most current ganes at a reasonable price plus a...

    AMD Ryzen 9 9950X vs Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Faceoff — it isn't even close

    I think it's the presentation of Tom's article though, at first glance the clickable sequence didn't show very clearly it's "single threaded" at first and first few are 285k winning by quite a lot, so probably quick skimming or even with a phone reading only the bars can be quite misleading

    AMD Ryzen 9 9950X vs Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Faceoff — it isn't even close

    Actually it's a valid comparison, in areas with smaller rooms in general, I know plenty of persons get TOTL hardware to game at 1080p, and it can have a few real reasons: 1) No GPU/CPU bottleneck causing any eye candy needing to be turned off 2) The system can last a few more years before the...

    AMD Ryzen 9 9950X vs Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Faceoff — it isn't even close

    It seems pretty close to personally consider them a tie in performance, but judging the full load efficiency win for the 9950X and the socket will have one more gen seems a better option IRL.

    News Zotac RTX 5090 reportedly catches fire during Battlefield 6 session

    To be fair, undervolting shouldn't make anything burn, only make it unstable under load, it should run cooler if any effect is to be coming

    News Zotac RTX 5090 reportedly catches fire during Battlefield 6 session

    Just curious... IIRC the PTM should be pumped out and form a rim during it's run in time, as the 0.25mm or so thickness is actually too thick for the purpose, since it is PTM the mounting pressure initially don't form it as thermal paste should, after heating it to 40C+ for some time they will...

    News Zotac RTX 5090 reportedly catches fire during Battlefield 6 session

    TBF, ppl still defend their brand on internet more than their own dignity, and willing to pay extra $1000 scalper price on them, why would the evil manufacturers care..

    I somehow feels that it is very profitable for AMD anyway, they are charging so much is just like when Intel have no competition in the high end or Nvidia at the TOTL pricing, it's just like "We just can charge that much, why not?" case.

    Sorry, that's more $3000, not $1000 my dear ;)

    It looks to me like a Raptor Lake config (8p 16e) or maybe arrow lake config without hyper threading, but now put another 4 even slower LP E cores inside (Xe core looks to me just iGPU core?) and this don't sounded very competitive to the upcoming AMD...

    I didn't say your niche usecase it is a bad option, I was just saying that it is very niche, and need the US pricing (just checked, not remotely close to Asia pricing which, 265k is prices same as 9900x). But that's about it, not really hidden gem for most ppl, I believe in USA they are priced...

    Ok, forget about the ram arguement part, it's still quite no brainer to not go to core ultra series, 7900X is similar to 265k both in price and performance in gaming, while AM5 can at least have one more gen of upgrade to X3D if one wish, dropping only in the new CPU, 1851 is a dead platform in...

    Announcement Introducing the Tom's Hardware Premium Beta!

    I wonder if allowing advs or affiliate links will be an better option, it's much easier to swallow the extra buck going from the links purchasing from amazon than paying $100 per year, yes, that money isn't great for anyone with a constant income, but with the free contents available online like...

    News Sandisk unveils colossal new 256TB SSD with new UltraQLC flash memory — enterprise-grade SSDs for high density storage also come in 128TB

    likely not, and for one, say Synology, which is no.1 trusted in security for NAS, the non rack mounted version only have SATA main bay and maybe with NVMe slots for read/write cache, even without the NVMe cache it's easy to saturate the 2.5Gbpe link aggregated ports in 4 bay models, the main...

    Thing is when not using the fastest CUDIMMs, it's slower than the Raptor lake, yet more expensive (due to raptor lake degradation fame), both are not in socket upgradable meaning upgrading in the road will cost you another mobo, the price difference between a 9800x3d vs 265k is only $50 USD in...
