The AMD desktop processors are in the same boat, in that they lack enough pcie lanes to run everything full throttle. 20, or 24 lanes, that's it. For large storage, you might want to build a NAS instead, put a few nvme's in and configure as...

https://www.steamdeck.com/en/verified That tells you how

Where can you tell in your steam library, if the game will run on Linux/Steam Deck?

Oh they had delusions. I believe they likely still do. When they say they envisioned 50% of all revenue... do you believe they expected steam to be the only other player? They expected #1... they figured success would make it even easier to pay...

If you can get it reinstalled, update the dlss dll, framgen gen dll, and the ray reconstruction dll's. Download here: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/drivers/ But that isn't texture pop in, that's more like draw distance. I sometimes see...

3090 has 350W TDP, up to about 417W if overclocked and ran at 114% power target. 650W is the minimum, so they are allowing 300w for the rest of the computer. If you have 850W it would be fine. If you OC the 3090 that still leaves 433W for the...

I have the 4070ti and it was worth it. I could have got an AMD card for a little less, with a little more power, but the benefits of DLSS over FSR made it worth it to me. In many titles either card would need to use upscaling to reach my 4k60fps...

Sounds like a bug in that AVSTAR hdmi switch. Contact their support if they have any... (sounds like a cheap chinese knockoff)

OK, I just did DLSS Quality, and 100% scaling. My FPS jumped from low 60 to 110! Is this a good combination?

DLSS Quality is better than native + TAA. If the temporal anti-aliasing is particularly bad in a given game, then DLSS is preferable. It depends on the game, though. I always run resolution scale at 100%, regardless.

I prefer the sharpening effect of DLSS, so I usually turn it on if available compared to native resolution. However if DLAA is available at native resolution as an anti-aliasing option, I would take that over DLSS, since it doesn't tend to have...

I would try to get the FE if you can.

From the eetimes article, the relevant points: “We synthesize and dope diamond epitaxial layers with a unique control; therefore, stacks of diamond doped layers are grown to form a high-value-added wafer ready for device fabrication,” Driche...

Hmm I can add this to my big list o' things that sound great but never seem to arrive. I'll put it right between the everlasting sodium ion battery and the miracle cancer drug that has a 99% cure rate in lab mice. Honorable mention? Room...

https://www.eetimes.com/diamond-shines-in-high-power-devices/ Looks like it's been a thing in other places. Is the thermal performance primarily due to the thermal conductivity, or are there other advantages? I've been reading about the...

Chemical Vapor Deposition has been a way to make diamonds in various configurations and diamond compounds for a while now (several years at least to my admittedly faulty memory). A light description of the process...

One-page, long form written hardware reviews with no ads or popups: time will tell if this is momentary novelty, or will join TheFPSReview.com and few others in trying to continue if not recapture the magic that made sites like [H]ardOCP such a...

I don't know how they are applying the Diamond layer. If they have figured out a way to grow diamond crystal from carbon vapor it sounds like something that could be mass produced. It's not the same thing as a decorative diamond, it's sole value...

Couple of points about New Vegas: 1. For ammo, there are 2 merchants that stock rather large amount of ammo of all sorts, the Quartermaster in Hoover Dam, and Khan Quartermastre, of all people, but those two merchants are vague enough that it's...

Binding microchips (including GPU dies) with diamond and other unique methods allows for much lower temperatures and up to three times the performance. Lab tests on an undisclosed high-end Nvidia GPU reportedly granted three times the performance...
