Yup see bolded text above.... That what you'll see in the GN video. This is really disgusting - really really bad. On top it's ROG branded. Yup, even worse than what Dell Alienware (the master of proprietary trashware) can deliver. Can't beat that task. Is this the utter bottom from Asus @Mr. Fox🤔 Could it be better without Asus slapped on the ROG logo ? Nope. Buyers of this ROG piece of trash being heavily screwed by Asus. Not only due the perverse price tag but the whole package as seen here in the video. But I'm sure Asus new audience (newborn techies) will happily buy it. Just look at Dell Alieneware. They are at the top, still offering trash to consumers.Yep, there is a market for everything. Sad to see how the mighty have fallen to try please their current and coming gen sheeple with junk/and to maximize profits. Say hello to Larry.... Spot on.

Could be, but I doub't it. I never trust politics or governments. Have never done. They all are equal bad. Every single one. Just look at this. Suddenly is TIK-TOK good enough. And that disgusting Chineese TECH company should be banned. All  over the world. Nothing to negotiate about here. Ban them! Aka close the doors. Yesterday.

Maybe coming AMD card. Remember AMD don't go after high end in gaming this time. We will see who'm will offer the best low/mid end at an good and attractive price. Amd can't charge an arm and a legg for low/mid end graphics anymore.

One thing for sure... 5000 series as etc xx70 and above won't come cheaper than same SKUs in 4000 series. If nvidia add $100 on top you should see you as lucky. And this without any ugly Trump tax on top. Add 22% bigger die +33% more vram and you can clearly see where 5090 will land. And after a year you may see 5090Ti or 5090 Super. Nvidia just love add longer names for the refresh. The winners may be the buyers in the low/mid end where Intel put their Battlemage. Yup, 1080P gaming ain't yet dead. Or 1440P at low settings.

This can't be real. In absolute worst case then add the coming Trump tax at 20% on top. Then we can do the math... But first add the Rog tax on top of MSRP😁 And we can see +1900$ for custom Strix 5080 card. Anyone say no thanks if the price reaches $2000? I mean for the xx80, not the xx90. That one will be +2500$ or close to $3000. So measly $2000 will looks like cheap buy. NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5080 Rumored To Feature A Whopping $1,500+ MSRP, Marking A Huge Difference From The GeForce RTX 4080 Yup, older 4080 seems damn cheap at $1200. And 4090 was a bargain😆 In short... Welcome to Papusan's ugly world (Norwegian prices).

Hmmm. Should be better than Thermalright TF-9. Thats an very hard task even for any of the high-end thermal paste. Maybe a very good solution for graphics cards. Xingu GPE-01 Graphene Thermal Pad Will Outperform Any CPU Thermal Compound – 4 Degrees Cooler Than TF9 4C lower temp with 16W higher power consumption. Not bad if this is correct. Posted it here on the forum... Here's a must have bro @Mr. Fox🤢 Fantastic. Equally good raster performance as low/mid tier 3000 series nvidia desktop cards. Back to the past we go with tomorrows Jokebooks. January 2025 (very soon) its 4 years since 3060 12GB cards was released. And you can play at 1080P with max settings. Damn, amacing. @ryan Will you be happy with 1080P ? From the link below.... According to the leaker's data, the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop is equivalent to a GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop . And this translates into a rasterization performance similar to that of an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB desktop. Although somewhat less powerful than an Intel Arc A750 . The GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop would perform like a GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop

Hmmm. Should be better than Thermalright TF-9. Thats an very hard task even for any high-end thermal paste. Maybe a very good soultion for graphics cards. Xingu GPE-01 Graphene Thermal Pad Will Outperform Any CPU Thermal Compound – 4 Degrees Cooler Than TF9 It is the great hope of CPU users for 2025. Since it was presented we have been dealing with all the available data on this thermal pad (or thermal pad for the classists of the term) and as we saw at the time, it promises a lot... 4C lower temp with 16W higher power consumption. Not bad if this is correct.

Double binned meeans more shortage for all X3D chips. And AMD ain't stupid. They want profits. From day one. Here some love from our old good friend unclewebb. TS 9.7 released

This isn't about AMD. It's all about Microsoft and partly it's partner Intel in a nutshell. Hardware close to EOL will never get any love.

My take on ME updates (Intel's spyware).... @Mr. Fox how many times have you seen you'we got an performance uplift with Intel ME ? And with Intel you know what you get with firmware aka "security" fixes. Especially near the end of the processors life cycle (EOL date). A flood come suddenly with "very needed" security fixes. And they don't offer a game changer (performance boost) for the SKUs in question. Quite the opposite.

Broadcom CEO confirms he has no interest in buying Intel In an interview with the Financial Times, Tan Hock Eng, Broadcom's chief executive, made it clear that the company had never been asked to acquire Intel. Despite industry speculation that Intel's problems with the company had been a source of concern, the company has been....

Here you can clearly see what's wrong with Asus... They try all too hard to please their new audience with new trash. Damn sad to see where they are going with their own home brewed software malware and new products. Yup, Asus paired with Microsoft we see "Birds of a feather flock together". In the Norwegian language it will be «krake søker make». Asus bombards Windows 11 with christmas.exe malware-like Christmas wreath banner

To all my friend on the forum. Merry Christmas🙂 The Julaften - Christmas Eve have now started here up home in the North. And no problem with snow this day as usual.

Not sure you'll find it. AI is a bust😀 Maybe a better word is Flop?🤔 AI PC revolution appears dead on arrival — 'supercycle’ for AI PCs and smartphones is a bust, analyst says Not great news for the (AI industry) ceo Jensen... Modern people. Modern tech solutions. A must have bro @Mr. Fox Here I can see a huge market for 3D printers bro @Rage Set🤩 Yup, the trend is clear. People want it hence more of the modern will be released

I would rather buy EPDM Rubber Tubing. Probably easier to find without specs printed. The right quality is easier to bend inside a chassis.

Try find a brand without stamps on the Tubes. Or you need to sand it of.

A true piece of art. Can't be much better.

Soon we are in Christmas time 2024. Some will never be forgotten.
