We are sad to hear that AMD is delaying the launch of its 9000 series processors due to quality expectation issues. Maybe they’re paranoid after the defect recently found in Intel processors? Either way, not the news we were hoping for. It’s not clear how much of a delay this …
Rumors seem to be indicating that we might see the Nvidia RTX 5000 Blackwell cards in 2024. We certainly hope this is true. Not much is known about these cards yet although we are seeing several sources say there could be a 40% generational improvement which would be quite significant. …
It looks like we’re finally going to see a significant architecture change (new 2.5D interconnect tech) with AMD’s Zen 6 generation that will lead to better bandwidth, latency, better scaling, and power efficiency. This will increase cost, however. AMD is on a roll and have been able to consistently produce …
Finally some reliable information has come out about AMD’s next generation of video cards. What we’ve learned: Monolithic dies via TSMC 4NP (all this really means is that they got slightly better dies than NVIDIA has right now) We’re seeing boosting of between 3.0-3.3 GHz FP8 and matrix hardware now …
The ROG Strix XG259QNS was announced on February 5, 2024 by ASUS. This 24.5″ 1080P IPS panel monitor is clearly target at gamers with its refresh rate of 380Hz and a response time of up to 0.3ms. The brightness is adequate but not amazing at 400cd/m². We wish it had …
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a video card from Nvidia for lower than $200. But this is not an exciting card considering its specifications: 2,048 or 2,304 Cuda cores (the previous 3050 had 2,560 Cuda cores) 6GB of GDDR6 ram (the previous 3050 had 8gb) 96-bit memory …
If you already have an AMD AM4 platform system or you’re trying to build a good budget gaming system then the $250 AMD Ryzen 5700X3D is a strong contender. It beats out an Intel i5-13600KF on gaming benchmarks. The 5800X3D costs 20% plus more and has a 15% performance advantage …
