    News Intel GPUs - Battlemage officially announced, evidently not cancelled

    Friends, school me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that Intel is 'deflating their footballs'. Raja Kadouri may be brilliant and he knows computer graphics very, very well, but Intel's upcoming GPUs will only work optimally with Intel CPUs and chipsets but not nearly as well on Ryzen...

    Question Nvidia RTX 3080 cards will be available again, but .....

    Friends: Since Cryptocurrency is is falling, Nvidia's used RTX 3080 graphichs cards will come flooding the market, but these won't be virginal never-used cards. These cards will have had been used at full-tilt for months mining cryptocurrency. If you spring for these cards you'll be buying...

    Question I'm throwing in the towel

    Dear Friends, I refuse to pay $2K or more for a single graphics card, especially since the original MSRP for Nvidia's RTX 3080 was $700, but I've seen prices for it as high as $2,700K. That's ridiculous.. I'll take up some other hobby/ies in the meantime. I wish you, who are still on this...

    Question Is there anything I can do to maybe fix or troubleshoot this?

    In about 2007 I bought myself the then-most-powerful-graphics card, as I recall, the Nvidia 7800. It lasted for less than 3 years. After trouble-shooting I realized my fancy-schmacy graphics card had failed. After I bought and stalled Radeon cards everything was fine again. I opened my...

    Question Fighting the bots on buying up all the GPU's. Is this legal? Good idea?

    Dear Friend, I've mined eBay for the Geforce 3080 and found sellers asking for as much as $2500 for a part whose original MSRP was $700. I'm hoping to buy the new RTX 3080 Ti from B&H Photo tomorrow, but I won't be stupid about it like staying up till midnight or ordering it as soon as they...

    News Intel GPUs - Battlemage officially announced, evidently not cancelled

    I'm not worried because Intel's Raja Koduri is behind this. The pair of Radeon Vega 64s I bought, designed by him were half a year late and still trailed Nvidia's cards. Intel can have him. Good riddance, Raja.

    Question Have you heard the rumors about 3080Ti's price being over $2000 retail?

    Were you able to buy one? I stayed up until midnight prowling Newegg and Best Buy, but no cigar. I tried again at 9AM and Newegg was all sold out. Best Buy broke my heart. They told me that they weren't selling the RTX 3080 Ti in any of their stores in my home State of MD. And those Best...

    Question Have you heard the rumors about 3080Ti's price being over $2000 retail?

    I'll venture out to my local Microcenter to see whether I can snatch a regular RTX 3080. The only difference between it and the Ti iteration is that the latter has been overclocked at the factory. Sure, it'll outrun all other GPUs but not without breaking a sweat and won't last as long. I...

    Question Have you heard the rumors about 3080Ti's price being over $2000 retail?

    Okay. The word is that Nvidia's RTX 3080 Ti will be available on the 3rd of June. It'll cost north of $1K because it's a Ti card. So, friends, what can I do to get one? Stay up until midnight and then log-into Newegg? Or Best Buy? What should I do to ensure I get one? TY.

    Windows XP...? In 2019!!!? Ideas?

    Friend, in no way am I an expert, but Microsoft discontinued support for XP years ago. XP hasn't had updates available for it in all that time and could be vulnerable to hacks. The people you're doing this for probably could afford a barebones Win 10 system if they don't play games. Oh, btw...

    Question Let's talk tough turkey - what if mining more-or-less "never" subsides? Strategies for getting GPUs?

    I wanted to upgrade my PC this Spring but that plan is on hold for now. I refuse to spend $2K+ for an RTX 3080 that is supposed to cost $700. I suppose this is because of scalpers, miners, and a worldwide chip shortage. But my PC, though a little old, still plays games very well. I just wish...

    Question Can't get into BIOS

    mikeymikec, that HDD belongs to someone in my family and there's important documentation on it he needs to recover. The reason his HDD is out of its case is that his PC failed. I'm beginning to suspect that the drive itself may have failed though Device Manager and Speecy say it's working...

    Question Can't get into BIOS

    Device Manager shows that I have that HDD and that it's working properly. I began mashing the Delete key to get into BIOS and then mashing the F2 keys, but no cigar. So then I held down those respective keys while restarting, but no cigar. I'll do as you suggest and try moving my keyboard's...

    Question Can't get into BIOS

    Friends, I installed a used Western Digital HDD in my rig to access an important document. Device Manager sees it, and so does Speecy, both stating that the drive is good, but Windows>This PC doesn't list it. I thought that I should enter BIOS and make that WD HDD active but I can't access...

    Question New system POSTed out of the case. Now it won’t inside the case. Help!

    Steltek, you certainly know a lot more than I do. You might be right about a stand-off creating a ground or short problem. Please let us know how you resolve this so that we'll know. I know that you'll resolve this. Thank you.

    Question New system POSTed out of the case. Now it won’t inside the case. Help!

    Pardon me, but why did you test components before installation? All CPUs today require a 4-6 pin power tap close by. Is that cable attached? Check every part of the start/off header of your motherboard. Trace the green/white wire from your case's power switch; the plug is labeled 'power' or...

    Question GeForce GT 730 can POST but not boot anything

    I can't imagine anything you've done wrong. When your PC POSTs, how many beeps do you hear? A successful POST means that you'll only hear one beep, but more than one beep means something is wrong. What kind of PSU power supply unit) do you have? You mention a low profile Lenovo, so I imagine...

    Question AMD's answer to DLSS, FFSS. Mentioned in [GraphicallyChallenged][YT].

    This is assuming that AMD's FFSS is on par with Nvidia's DLSS. I hope so because I'm an AMD fanboy. Since all Nvidia 3080 and 3090 cards are out of stock as well as AMD's 6800XT and 6900XT cards, I'm willing to buy an AMD card with FFSS technology. My worry is, since I don't have bots to...

    Question Bought my RTX 3080 Today....UPDATE - Got It!

    Friend, I inquired about reserving an RTX 3080 with B&H Photo and they replied that they don't accept prepayments for reservation. I've asked Best Buy the same question. I've been advised to check often for whether RTX 3080 stock has been replenished. My scant understanding is that the RTX...

    Question Bought my RTX 3080 Today....UPDATE - Got It!

    I refuse to pay three times the MSRP for a Geforce RTX 3080. I wish there was a way to reserve it at its original price. And today I read that people are scooping up all Xboxes and reselling them for as much as $1700. To make matters worse, tens of thousands of consumers have been paying what...

    Question Do you think GPU stock/prices will get back to normal before end of the year?

    I thought of this, too, but I love building, and upgrading, my own PC. I want to choose the motherboard, CPU, and case. Currently, I have a pair of Radeon Vega 64s in CF and I knashed my teeth when Steam's VR evaluator said that I wasn't VR ready until I upgrade my GPUs. So when I was ready...

    Why can't AMD overtake Nvidia?

    With very few exceptions, AMD's GPUs always trail Nvidia's. Of course, some of this is because Nvidia's flagship cards are expensive and AMD is comfortable being the bargain champ. But I've recently discovered that Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO and co-founder of Nvidia, is Lisa Su's uncle, for crying...

    Question Upgrading NVMe SSD and keep OS and data

    Friends, I have a 512GB NVMe SSD card. It's about 3/4 full. Now I'm seeing ads for 1TB NVMe SSDs for $125. I'm patient and am hoping for NVMe capacities to rise even more. How could I move everything from my current NVMe SSD over to a new one? I know that the best thing to do is gather all...

    Question Which M.2 SSD should I consider?

    Friends, I currently have a 512GB Samsung EVO PRO M.2 SSD. Intel's 2TB 660p M.2 SSD sells for a mouthwatering $182. But Samsung's 2TB 960 EVO M.2 SSD sells for $320, and its 2TB 970 EVO M.2 SSD sells for about $450. Kingston's 2TB M.2 SSD is similarly priced as the 970 EVO. Since they're all...

    Beware of "news" banners at the bottom of AnandTech reviews

    After my work shift ended recently I killed some time by browsing AnandTech for the latest tech news and made the mistake of clicking on a so-called "news" story about a daughter that Donald Trump keeps hidden. I ran into ransomware that that locked my employer's PC. My boss was very cool but...

    How to revive a Corsair Joyager USB 3.0 thumbdrive?

    My PC has gone south and I need advice

    Dear Friends: I'm very grateful to all of you who've replied. I'll clear my CMOS, troubleshoot each of my RAM sticks individually, do the same for my Radeon 7970's, and try my primary drive in another PC. I have Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit OS, and since Win 8, you must first log into it...

    What personal financial software do you recommend?

    I need to manage my finances. Ideally, my financial software would track all my deposits and debits and predict if I come close to over drafting. Quicken is the first thing that comes to mind, but I didn't care for the 2011 version and the fact that I have to pay for annual upgrades. Mint...

    Asus Centennial Motherboard (100 year rating)

    I beg your pardon, if you're hoping a motherboard will last 20+ years I worry that you're over emphasizing long term reliability over long term functionality. The seminal - and work horse - BX440, when Intel introduced Pentium II, AGP and PCI, won't run Vista, Win 7 or Win 8. And if it can run...

    Any Haswell mobos with Thunderbolt 2.0?

    Mobo Advice for a new build

    Read reviews in MaximuPC and Anandtech. Look for SATA ports that are right angled and connecting SATA cables won't be blocked by a long graphics card. I'd also look to see if an adjacent PCI-e 1X slot isn't too close to the PCI-e 16X slot so it won't get covered over by the graphic card. And...

    Can someone post the PC equivalent of The Ten Commandments?

    My PC has become corrupted and I suspect a virus because recently a JavaScript window opened, stating that Microsoft Antivirus 2013 detected a process and needs to perform a scan. Since there is no Microsoft Antivirus I didn't click the "OK" button. I know not to open attachments in emails...

    Easy fix for PC corruption?
