Did not see this as listed, newsworthy and maybe rather concerning for PC gamers. Crypto boom being replaced by AI boom?

What a big letdown this is. Amazing Amazon Prime next day delivery, less than 16 hours, it helps that we have a Amazon warehouse 20 miles away. Anyways opening up the package a Samsung 250gb EVO box appeared. WAT! Then on back there is a label saying it is a Samsung 990 Pro 2TB. Hmmmm maybe they...
There was a concern about a possible hardware issue with Mesh Shaders with the 7900 XT/XTX due to rather poor results in 3DMark Mesh Shader feature test. With driver 23.1.1 with Mesh Shader on, it was only 11.9% faster then with it off. With 23.1.2, look at the difference between the two:

Downloaded the optional 22.10.2 drivers for the 6900XT. This is on a TR system, MSI TRX40 Pro WiFi motherboard with a 3960x. Installing over a fully working 22.8.2 drivers.
Normal option for installation -> within 20sec or so black screen and computer reboots
Did this a few times with same...
Not bad, with 1.4 DP and 2 HDMI 2.1 ports. Basically 50% off. At the Egg. Very tempting except the size but the price! 😇

Have not seen much in the way of iGPU performance except for this YouTube comparison of some 30 games:
Cost of 12600k is $320 on Newegg:

Cost of the 5700g is $329 and $319 with current promo code...
This is very interesting, the specs are not awe inspiring as in resolution refresh rate but form factor looks useful. Power by your phone meaning the headset is lightweight. Controllers? Powered by PC? Tracking?
This is an interesting development, since FSR is open source, developers are expanding where it can be used. Here it is very much helpful for Steam users and VR, basically any game that uses Openvr as in most VR games on Steam can have FSR. Guy in video explains it but I had to take a double...
Impressive! Looks true next gen, Eye/hand tracking, eye resolution whatever that means, no Godrays, Astounding clarity from edge to edge, OLED, Works with Valve Base Stations and Index Controllers. Too bad meant for Business use.
If you were able to obtain one, share any secrets and experiences, whenever your new toy or work horse arrives.
Anyways first time I've ever used the shuffle at Newegg and what do you know, I was able to buy a Gigabyte 3080 Ti Eagle for MSRP, $1199. Which may not be all that good in the scheme...
I started to have stability problems with the Ryzen 3960x which got worst over several days. The normal troubleshooting of switching out the 4 sticks of TridentZ 3466mhz 64gb (Hynix) to 4 sticks of TridentZ 3200 32gb (SamsungB), changing out video card, resetting bios, flashing bios twice...
This is AMD presented performance. Compiled data into a single chart for comparison, one for 1440p and one for 4K. Since these were tested on a Zen 3 platform with Smart Access Memory enabled, results could vary a lot on different configurations.

One of the papers that surfaced was dealing with a new cache scheme for GPU's issued by AMD:

One of the writers, Mohamed Assem Ibrahim, explains how this will work:
This looks to be very promising with some incredible IPC gains of 22%...
The bloke decided to no longer play, hitting the start button and nothing. Power off and on, RGB lights light as irritating as before, nothing. Reset bios, took out the bios battery several times, disconnected everything, took out video card, memory, played musical memory, took it out of the...
Just picked up a Sabrent 2TB QLC drive for $280 on sale. Almost picked up two for Raid, which would probably make the PS5 not look so beastly. Then reality hit, I would probably never notice the difference other than a benchmark, unless someone here can explain why it would be a good option...

First time I've seen exactly what Jensen Huang indicated for launch of Turing GPU's. Very impressive lighting, best I've ever seen for real time graphics. DLSS working as well to get acceptable frame rates with ray tracing on. Very cool video, could be great for RTX owners, I am pretty sure I...
A fascinating rundown on next gen tech not only in consoles but next gen GPU's. What surprised me was he thinks the PS5 will beat the Xbox One X even with less CU's and has some very solid reasoning behind it. Also what to expect in next gen Nvidia GPU's. While a lot of it is conjecture it is...
Pretty damn good to my surprised and yes. Never had any processor able to do this, not even close, usually when CPU is at 100% everything else seems slow, stutters, skips etc. Not with Ryzen 3!.
I started to play Wolfenstein Youngblood, never notice that I did not stopped mining Monero, which...
Looking at initial reviews of how the cards performed when the buggy game first released and now, seems to show some major improvements. I have not run into bugs which is a good thing but more importantly the performance was much better than I expected. One thing that has bothered me for years...
While I don't normally like to OC using Windows software, this is working out relatively well. Since some call the 3900X having one Chiplet and one Shitlet, OCing those differently may allow better performance overall. Anyways this is my first run using Ryzen Master to OC CCD0 to 4.5ghz and CCD1...
This could go in the CPU section, AMD section etc. so following [H]ardOCP lead here. System is in my sig, Ryzen 2700 OC to 4.1ghz, 32gb mem at 3200mhz on an ASUS C6H motherboard. Vega Frontier Edition using the latest Pro Drivers 18.Q.4 with the latest Pro gaming driver 18.9.3. Using FPS Monitor...
Using two 1080 Ti's, the configuration is in signature. Just using the typical canned benchmark to see if scaling works with two GPU's. Stock clocks, CPU is actually 4.6ghz and is not reported correctly by benchmark.
First test is all max settings with SMAA, 2x 1080 Ti'x at 3440x1440 resolution...

Mining on Mining Pool Hub with a Cryptonight hashrate of 263kh/s. Each of my Vega FE's and Vega 64 can do a little over 2kh/s each Hash power wise, I am looking at 130 Vega 64s for this algorithm on this one ASIC at 480w, which is less power...
Rather cool that a 7nm GPU is running or working:
I wonder what changes to Vega was done besides 1/2 FP 64? Also if a Titan V type card or newer FE could come out of this?
One frustrating road tour to get to the point where I can switch between Pro drivers and Gaming drivers when two Vega FEs are installed.
The Radeon Pro "Driver Options" allow multiple drivers or more exact the Pro Driver with several other gaming drivers. An option that can be selected during a...

BioStar has been around since 1986 making motherboards. Currently they produce motherboards both for AMD and Intel. Their headquarters is in Taipei Taiwan. Besides motherboards they also make:

Processors use Pstates (power-performance states) of different frequency and voltage for different load conditions:
P0 – max power, voltage and frequency
P1 – less than P0
P2 – less than P1
. . .
This allows lower clock speeds per core when you don’t need it and higher clock speeds...
The Thrill of The Fight is an early access game with very high approval ratings:
While mostly you face off with either a training opponent or match opponent, this game comes alive in the Virtual World. You would not think that fighting the air while you are inside a virtual world would be...
