    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    There was window when they did not feel it was the case 9700 pro, 1080TI, 8800 GTX, 680 Take the 7800x3d arguably the best CPU to play game on that exist, better than the $10,000 cpu, they will say it is a reasonable price (even if it price by mm2 is way more than a 4090, the 4090 has like 8.5x...

    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    True enough outside chasing very high setting at 4k, say the high-1440p classic affair, how many worth to play game would not run perfectly fine on a 6800xt/7800xt ? Maybe Hellblade 2 will be one will see (if 30 fps do not play well), end of the days all the new big games has to run on 2020...

    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    Did those board had a bios flashback button and did you try to install the updated bios with it first ? https://www.asrock.com/support/QA/FlashbackSOP.pdf You do not need to have an installed CPU normally, let alone the current bios having any support for it.

    Nvidia begins developing Arm-based PC chips in challenge to Intel

    The Amazon one during the primes days can get really cheap for the hardware, easy to "sideload" app on them. If it need for Windows on ARM to be good enough for it to work, it is a big risk, Qualcoom seem to have a list of issues going on. You can execute really well and still loose, Windows...

    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    I read to me the: Even without it some boards let you update at BIOS boot without compatible CPU as CPU is just need for basic use (needs to be pin and electronically compatible). Flashback works without even need for a CPU in it as you don't need to switch on the system. Is exactly what I am...

    It is somewhat common for motherboard to have their own memory-compute strong enough to do a BIOS update without a CPU or ram in the board just need power, almost all AM5 motherboard support it. You can look for bios flashback support or other naming with bios flash in them

    Nvidia begins developing Arm-based PC chips in challenge to Intel

    Why would they ever remove said instruction, it seem to be a very small set of extra one. Even if we do not use any apple library (say a pure STL C project, nothing custom to MacOS), the compilers that target Apple Silicon could use those extra instruction, no ?

    I did read like if it was about them adding stuff than the other would not be able to run anymore so people must buy their hardware to run their software, not for them to remove from themselve the ability to run application library.

    ARM and what we call RISK now do the same: aplpe A14: Outside the simplest of simplest chips, a decoding to Micro-ops stage will always be present (and always been for x86 cpus since the 70s) With modern CPU you probably want that stage and can be a net benefit to use most of your...

    RTX 5xxx / RX 8xxx speculation

    In some game the question does not really apply, Avatar for example if you set the game at ultra settings will have RT used, it is not a separate setting, that why at max setting the 4070ti beat card like a 7900xtx, it could be because it is an AMD sponsered title and they asked them to hide the...

    RTX 5xxx / RX 8xxx speculation

    It is possible that max setting more and more will just enable RT without being a different option (think Avatar or some unreal 5 game that does not even have pre-baked light to use) and it is a bit already strange to call RT off has playing with Max setting in a game like Cyberpunk

    Ah this answer the question, I can see this taking a lot of space. 55-75GB 3d HD movies can fill what is left on a 256GB device quick enough, if one use it for that because streaming does not work well in hotel, you can see the use.

    I think it was lost, Microsoft know there a risk of cannibalizing sales to put a title currently selling well or day 1 on gamepass, the idea that it would not be something they think about and try to calculate is an ridiculous hyperbole, it would be for a startup, it is even more for a giant...
