    Tv upgrade.

    We picked a Sony OLED up through Costco. I second the recommendation to go to Rtings as well. There are a lot of reviews on YouTube, various channels looking at all sorts of models every year. If you have a brand preference use that to narrow down your choice and then do some searches for...

    Any of you on Rogers Xfinity for internet? Results?

    We have been long time Shaw customers in BC when we were caught up in the purchase by Rogers. I upgraded to the Shaw highspeed when they offered $0 phone plans when you bought into the highest speed internet. Saved me a ton of money. When Rogers bought Shaw they kept the free cell phones for 5...

    Last Epoch

    With the new patch/season coming, I watched a Q&A and someone did ask about the campaign. They are still working on it apparently, and the next act is nearly done. Being a story guy, I am looking forward to see where it goes, but I do understand that they are making a game for a wide audience...

    The RX 9000 series thread

    I remember, once upon a time, the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price used to be higher than the price the product sold for in the stores. WIth all the demand and scalping that has gone on, MSRP seems to be a guideline on starting price now.

    I have to thank NVidia for pricing these cards so egregiously high that I wouldn't buy one. Saved me a lot of hassle and concern it seems.

    NVidia has deliberately neutered their 5080 card to try and upsell people to the 5090. Previous generational uplift had the xx80 cards always faster than the previous generation's flagship card. This time around NVidia has cut the 5080 so drastically as to beclown themselves. No one should buy a...

    I found this article Interesting and ironic at the same time.

    KitGuruTech did an update on the Intel CPUs. tldr: Not terrible and KitGuruTech will be doing more work with the CPUs. Still not the best gaming CPU, AMD X3D CPUs still rule that.

    New Chinese AI may disrupt NVidia

    An interesting read about this new R1 AI and the effect it could have on NVidia's current AI GPU sales https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1883686162709295541.html? From the thread: 1/ First, some context: Right now, training top AI models is INSANELY expensive. OpenAI, Anthropic, etc. spend...

    I fully expect that the 5080 cards will be an extreme disappointment. The early leaks are looking like only a 15% uplift from a 4080, not a 4080 Super, a 4080. Neutered I tell you, just to upsell those who just have to have better, at twice the cost.

    RTX 5090 Founders unboxing and first look . Jaystwocents Vid

    I read a few articles comparing NVidia generational uplift, usually comparing the xx80 series to the previous generations xx90 or xx80 Ti. The expectation this time is that the 5080 will not exceed the 4090's performance. Using Tech Powerup I found the generation and then looked for the next...

    RTX 5090 Founders unboxing and first look . Jaystwocents Vid

    I was willing to consider a $1500 USD 5090, but $2000 is just ass. Not only that, but the neutering of the 80 series cards is obscene in the attempt to upsell people. The sad thing is that there will be enough people willing to turn their pockets out and pay through the nose for the 5090...

    5070 = 4090 performance for $549 USD.

    Digital Foundry has a new video up. I find their coverage usually pro NVidia, but they do back it up with information to support their takes. Still early, and there will be a lot of actual reviews that will need to be done by third parties, but DF gives a glossy overview with a well tuned game.

    5070 = 4090 performance for $549 USD.

    I could have stomached a 10% increase, I was considering a possible purchase (on the 5090). Not now. I'll wait and see how the cards perform but I'm not in a rush to replace the card I have at this time.

    What game are you currently playing? (Screenshots if possible pls)

    That's the end of Act 2 boss, right? This is kind of a DPS check moment. You probably need to ensure you did the Trial of Sekimas ( or suck my a** as some people call it ) to get your ascendency points, and make sure your gems are all as high as you can get them for DPS. Check your weapon if you...

    9800 X3D and MSI Tomahawk board fries on first boot . GN vid

    I generally like the GN videos, but he could have done a service to many by showing how it was installed. Many people are visual learners, and just a putting the CPU in the socket over the crushed plastic would have instantly shown the error. Also, laying the system down and then putting the CPU...

    Yet another Keyboard thread

    I picked up the Dell 4k G3223Q and I have been very happy with it so far. I believe it was the same price as the sale price too, so I don't feel ripped off either!
