Refine 2 With the second chair, Fractal Design raises the bar even higher. At the end of 2024, the Fractal Refine impressed in testing despite minor deductions in the overall score. The Refine 2 now aims to score across the board.

Nvidia app update fails to block unofficial DLSS multi-frame generation mod on RTX 40 series gaming GPUs Modders discover unlock for DLSS Multi Frame Generation on RTX 40, NVIDIA blocks it, modders immediately unlock it again Even 4K is all too much for $5000 graphics cards This Still Feels Like Tech Demo Territory The performance we're seeing here is pretty much in tech demo territory. Sure, if you have a $5,000 GPU, you can get a playable experience at 4K and 1440p with DLSS 5 enabled. Outside of that, it's a bleak scenario. The RTX 5080 struggles at 4K, while the RTX 5070 is only borderline usable at 1440p. Whether the visual improvement is substantial enough to justify the enormous performance cost is the question that still needs an answer, but for now we've established just how expensive DLSS 5 is to run in current-gen hardware. xx60 series cards is almost useless with modern tech. Same for xx70 and xx80. Nice....... Microsoft limits its cloud service: Game Pass Ultimate will now only allow you to play 15 hours per month on Xbox Cloud. Microsoft has shot itself in the foot by announcing that it will be implementing time limits on Xbox Cloud Gaming. Specifically, starting in November of this year, cloud gaming will no longer be unlimited for subscribers Also MSI want every dime out of their graphics cards. $14 USD for every card helps on the bottom line. MSI RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB: +100 Yuan or US$14 MSI, GIGABYTE And Inno3D Jack Up RTX 50 And RX 9000 Prices Again, With RTX 5070 Buyers Facing A $90 Hit The RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB is the least affected GPU, but the GPU has already seen prices soar dramatically in the last month, reaching $800 or more in most regions. So, while a mere $14 price increase might not seem significant, it's going to make the situation even worse. As for GIGABYTE, the company is increasing the price of the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB as well, while other models are reportedly untouched.

Me thinking Intel is going back to pump out more powa😀 Exactly as bro @Mr. Fox want. More to everyone😎 This is what intel need to do. Forget about lowest power possible. Win for every costs. If the cores and cache need more power, then let it get what it needs. And stop make desktop processors from power efficient mobile crap. Leak Confirms Intel's Long-Term Socket Plan with LGA-1954 Intel's "Nova Lake-S" desktop processors are drawing nearer, and today a leaked partner slide from China confirmed many of the plans we anticipated. Starting with the LGA-1954 socket, Intel's testing tools had already verified the pin count. This slide not only confirms the pin count but also introduces a small detail about it. In the bottom left corner, there is a disclaimer stating that Intel plans to keep the LGA-1954 socket for multiple generations.

Why change only for the change and pay more? The 4 year old Raptor Lake (Refresh) is still a viable processor. Yup, old doesn't always mean worse or bad value. And it can save you some money if you already have one🙂 Benchmarking 31 different CPUs in Onimusha: Way of the Sword The AMD's Intel moment....... AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Swells and Burns Again, This Time on an ASUS Crosshair X670E Hero

Ai is the perfect tool. USA has come closer to China now. It goes in that direction bro @Mr. Fox This need to be stopped. Now, and before it's too late. Dallas garbage trucks are using AI cameras to flag code violations and give homes a "blight score" Privacy concerns and fears of unfair fines are fueling a backlash against the program WTF?! Want another reason why there's a big pushback against artificial intelligence? In Dallas, AI-powered cameras mounted on trash collection trucks are photographing properties and assigning them a "blight score" – a rating based on perceived code violations.

Trondheim (From 8:12) is my birthplace and I lived there until I moved 30 years old outside the city. @Mr. Fox A beautiful place. Around 218.000 citizens now but a smaller place with under 137.000 when I lived in the city early 1990's.

Asus is holding back the 5090 for now. So same sky high prices. But 5080 Astral come in more like $2100 MSRP now. The much cheaper 5080 TUF at $1900. Nvidia offer still the old MSRP. How can people in their right mind pay over $2000 for a 5080? The scary thing is that they do😐 ASUS and Galax Raise GeForce RTX 50-Series Prices by Up to $74

The listings provide evidence of extreme scarcity pricing, but they do not establish a new NVIDIA MSRP. NVIDIA has not announced an official price increase for the RTX 5090. The current figures should consequently be described as observed retail listings rather than the card’s new recommended price. Yep, a huge lie. There is no (extreme)scarcity in the whole. So there is no reason to keep prices so high. Zero... Nada. Even though RAM/NAND prices have gone up several times, there is zero reason to price graphics cards +2 times the suggested retail price. This is classic greed and market manipulation.

We are just about to see $5,000 becoming a regular price for RTX 5090. What with a Asus TUF at $5099 in the US ? That would be closer to $6373.75 USD incl tax here home. Luckily you get the TUF for cheap $4500 MSRP here home, if that will make you feel better🙄 And no problem get 5090's here home. All type SKUs and brands. Flood of them for sale. Lots in stock doesn't make a dent. They price the cards exactly as they prefer in the market. MSRP is a lie. And a TUF 5080 costs $1750 at MSRP. You can buy +50 of them right away if you want from the same store. This is actually the new MSRP and not inflated prices due to shortages. HARDWARE Graphics Card Prices Are Rising Fast (Again), and GeForce Is Taking the Biggest Hit Same or similar for GPUs? Most likely. “Everyone is lying about supply”: the shortage that drove up memory prices is called into question; is a huge bubble about to burst?

Nice. I just wait for the bubble to burst. Happy days forwards. For the rich.I know what higher electricity prices lead to. More poverty for the many and a little better economy for a very few. Pensioners/retired for example. They will have to pay more and get less. Is less more?🙄 Trump says communities that reject data centers 'want to end up being backwards and poor'

Why not just put them in jail? Criminals should be behind bars. If you stole your neighboards car you will be charged. No mercy bro @Mr. Fox Anthropic Hit With New Copyright Lawsuit From Sony, Warner

Why not just close down the trash? Meta’s $18 billion payout isn’t enough to save our kids

RIP. Harald V of Norway (Harald V). We'll miss you here up in the cold North. A good man and a good King.

Data center backlash isn't about AI, it's about who pays the bills (and the noise) Water disputes in Georgia and Wyoming have also fueled local opposition.

Have seen similar before.... I look at my older Maxwell series GPUs sleeping in the drawer. This bring back old bad memories... Half crippled due beautiful driver love from Nvidia. NVIDIA neutralizes MVolt+ on the RTX 50 series: its 616.56 driver blocks the power limits of the GPU and GDDR7 memory NVIDIA has wasted no time in shutting down one of the most interesting features of MVolt+ software for the RTX 50 series. The new GeForce 616.56 WHQL driver blocks and prevents the use of MVolt+'s independent controls in... The memory shortage won't end as soon as expected: SK hynix extends it until the end of 2030 Forecasts that predicted a possible easing of the memory shortage by 2028 are starting to look insignificant, and very bad news is coming from South Korea. Kwak Noh-jung, CEO of SK hynix, now asserts that the market will remain strained... NVIDIA breaks all records: it approaches $100 billion per quarter thanks to AI NVIDIA continues to break its own financial records and is now on the verge of reaching a figure that just a few years ago seemed unthinkable
