    Wife wants to play Diablo 4 but only has a HD 6850

    https://eu.battle.net/support/en/article/251518 are the minimum system requirements. Technically what she has now could run it, run it well? No. it does require a SSD though so if you don't have one of those you will need one anyway. Win10 should be fine. But just a FYI You do realize though...

    Wife wants to play Diablo 4 but only has a HD 6850

    that is a very specific question, but true. This is for people looking to run specifically new things, not legacy games or programs. My point being. If your on something prior to Skylake, there is no 'but' there is 'just do a full upgrade'. There is no reason to ask. Move on. Anything else is a...

    Wife wants to play Diablo 4 but only has a HD 6850

    stupid thought from me, why are we seeing threads of ancient hardware recently? like don't get me wrong. Happy to help people point them in the right way. But really, shouldn't there just be a 'If your PC is from earlier than 2016, here is your starting point' guide?

    Upgrade my 1080 GTX - What recommendation?

    The problem I have on the Nvidia side is their lineup just simply does not have enough vram. I would recommend anyone get a card with at least 16GB if they want it to last, meaning your looking at at least a 4070 Ti Super if you are going Nvidia this gen.

    Blizzard Cancels Blizzcon

    2022 and 2023 were post covid years on all events. Pretty much every event had huge problems. 22 was a write off, 23 it was a crap shoot on how bad it was going to be. In short, everyone forgot how to event after the pandemic, and it wasn't really till this year that I have seen like, actual...

    Radeon RX 7900 GRE Review

    RDNA4 won't have a top end card, highest will be Navi 48. Rumored to be around 7900 XT performance. More than likely they are going to package this in a "8800 XT" build for around 400-500$ Thus if you need a GPU now, 7900 GRE / XT / XTX are not bad buys. They will be around for awhile and some...

    Net Neutrality expected to be reinstated after officials vote on 4/25/2024

    I guess we have a difference in opinion then. I have no issue with zero rate billing but still would like all my traffic to be treated equally. Which is what I have referred to as net neutrality. I have been educated now that other places are combining zero rate billing into net neutrality...

    Net Neutrality expected to be reinstated after officials vote on 4/25/2024

    Is no say comcast count not as data in the montly total some service like their own IPTV ? Zero rate billing has nothing to do with net neutrality. as long as the traffic is treated equally, thats all that matters. Zero rate billing is the proces sof excluding some data from other data for...

    Net Neutrality expected to be reinstated after officials vote on 4/25/2024

    The funny thing is that they (the big companies) are vehemently opposing net neutrality, even though they could use it to really screw over small providers. In short, your example is right, without net neutrality, the ISP could prioritize critical services. With it they cannot. Personally, I'm...

    New Rig Video Card help

    LukeTbk OK I see where your coming from now. Sadly though, no, upscalers don't work that way. You don't get a 'better' image by rendering at a lower resolution and then using an upscaler to fill in the rest. They are not actually improving the textures, they are just filling in pixels lost due...

    New Rig Video Card help

    LukeTbk To me what your describing is not upscaling tech, its AI enhancement to existing images. To my understanding, upscaling is the way to render a frame at a lower resolution and 'upscale' it to display natively at a higher resolution. It does this by using various techs to 'fill in the...

    New Rig Video Card help

    I'm not getting what your saying here. If I'm reading this right I'm thinking you and I have a fundamental difference in understanding of what tech like DLSS and FSR are and why are they used. If you think about it, what DLSS and FSR do is 'make up' mixing pixels. Say your doing a 4k image...

    New Rig Video Card help

    LukeTbk I am referring to rendering native. Any upscaling tech (DLSS or FSR) has its downsides compared to native rendering (latency, loss of fidelity, ect) and personally, I spend a lot of money to have things look pretty, not to have a slightly higher framerate but it look not as good...

    New Rig Video Card help

    If i may offer a differing opinion. the 4070 ti super reviews have shown it to be a lackluster product. https://www.techspot.com/review/2793-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4070-ti-super/ It's not a 4080, and it sounds like you don't upgrade very often. Personally, I would look into the 7900 XTX. But if...

    Navi 22 GPU below MSRP in China upsets AMD

    This must be a thing specific to China. I don't believe its legal in the US to set price floor's like this. Once the product is sold to a retailer, right of first sale states that they can do whatever they want with it, including resell it for whatever price... that's what MSRP is. Recommended...
