    Subscription Growth Has Flattened claims games industry analyst

    The article is pointing out about internal documentation (during Activision trial discovery) of Microsoft talking about it. Microsoft is one of the best run company in the history of the world filled with some of the most component employee on earth, nothing anyone ever come with on a message...

    Subscription Growth Has Flattened claims games industry analyst

    That just sound a gross impossible exaggeration..... The idea that microsoft ignore the impact of GamePass on starfield sales.... https://gamerant.com/xbox-game-pass-cannibalizes-game-sales/ This sound like misrepresenting, hyperbolic people would say (or angry third party)

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

    Not sure if GPU ever had longer life time, ability to keep value and longer period before a refresh than now. Buying a GeForce 3 was much more a melting ice cube, 6 years old 2070 super play every game quite well and will continue to do so for popular AAA game until PS6 only game show up...

    To me all of this seem more for Laptop when we talk personal machine (were loosing it-being stole is more an common issue to start with), i too would not trust it otherwise on machine we shift hard drive around, change the CPU, etc... outside specific folder and tie to an online account, full...

    Windows 11 24H2 will enable BitLocker encryption for everyone - happens on both clean installs and reinstalls

    This part: Not only is the C: drive encrypted, but all other drives connected to the machine will be encrypted as well during reinstallation. Sound like some error (or some german to english translation issue)..... Windows insider MVP on reddit seem to say it will only be the WIndows partition...

    Eye tracking would be another one of those tech that (specially if the trend of monitor getting bigger for gamer continue and obviously already there for VR), there 1-2 degree of vision that need to be high resolution (and some margin of error around), specially if the system get 1000 fps fast...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    Thanks, that would make one of the common scenario for me (I often have many sport events on the side monitors at the same time during the playoff season and those streaming site often have a lot of extra ads all around in non fullscreen mode). The you code and launch an fullscreen 3d window...

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

    Because that level of jump on the gen that should increase the bandwith with gddr7 instead of staying 384bits is a bit strange if that not the reasson and why not ? Nvidia just launched a MCM product the same generation Apple will have what 2-3 generation of MCM gpu in the field by then...

    Ryzen processors codenamed 'Strix Point' will be released in 2024 - integrating Zen 5, RDNA 3+, and XDNA 2 architecture

    Well yes the industry would love for people to remove the cloud cost, but they cannot save datacenter money by doing that and AI being useless (thus not used) by the people that bought the Laptop at the same time, the article is a bit all over the place here, why would it cost any money for...

    I think I am missing the point here ? I do not think the leaker is implying that a monolithic die cannot have a 512 bits bus here, the interesting point was being the double Not really chiplet, more like Apple M ultra or Nvidia GB200 and it could just be for the 5090 with all the rest being...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    A that could be the way. It is good to manage windowed application, but did not find a way for being considered different monitor when it come time to fullscreen. Say have you achieved for one zone of a multi fancyzone setup to containt a youtube video after having press the fullscreen button ?

    Sammy 990 Evo - Crucial T500 - WD SN 770 for a game drive

    Absolute limit would be 4 GB/s before any lost on 3x4, 3.5 could be standard here; Depending on what you do with it, not much of an issue, it is already quite fast and not reached that often.

    Sammy 990 Evo - Crucial T500 - WD SN 770 for a game drive

    I imagine such mode could be about the small 4K and if it is not some variance, not a bad boost at all (+40% in write speed, 10% in read) just for an option.

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

    Since the rumours of the GB202 being the double than the GB203 (bandwith, core count, etc...) and nvidia launching MCM blackwell announcement was made, it is an obvious rumours to spread. I have never seen a statement that it would not be the case ?

    Ryzen processors codenamed 'Strix Point' will be released in 2024 - integrating Zen 5, RDNA 3+, and XDNA 2 architecture

    To put in perspective, their cpu line-up name: AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 170 Does it look like AMD was forced by Microsoft rules to allow some sticker on laptop to add AI capability to their chips or they are the one pushing it the most ? They called them Ryzen AI

    If like the 3080/3090 they are on the same chip and they want all the best die to be in the pro-line product, I am not sure if it would be dumb. But that would sound completely in opposition with all the rumors about the gap between the 5080 and 5090...... or maybe the 5090 will be 2 glued 5080...

    Ryzen processors codenamed 'Strix Point' will be released in 2024 - integrating Zen 5, RDNA 3+, and XDNA 2 architecture

    A bit of chicken and eggs, you need the performance on a large userbase for the apps to come, but Phoenix had all of this and it was not to get some Microsoft sticker no ? And the product and the increase of the XDNA 2 NPU was announced in 2023. Right now, if they got good enough out of the box...

    NVIDIA to Only Launch the Flagship GeForce RTX 5090 in 2024, Rest of the Series in 2025

    Need 16x-8x configuration at same time. Are there any consumer boards?

    Or pick 2 case that look like a big one if they are touching each other. I think in part it is because the cache over them make them harder too cool so they are run at lower frequency to use less watt. Not that big of a deal (usually a small difference), but in something's a 7800x3d can even...

    Need 16x-8x configuration at same time. Are there any consumer boards?

    Would they do not buy a cheap 5800x3d platform just to game ? Or if they have good money a 7800x3d and a threadripper/Xeon 4 memory channel system for the workstation.... For games you can go small cheap motherboard, you need almost nothing (one x16, 3 nvme, that's it), cheap cooling, etc...
