Looking at the curvature, reminds me of the Samsung Odyssey. I guess its the same panel?

Something for off topic really. Not quite news worthy.

Well at least it's something tangible and not a rumour of a rumour getting cancelled.

Wish they could have told me before I stripped down half of my effing WIFI equipment and Amazon Fire last night. FFS.

Oddly enough fish and chips is Jewish. I never knew that until a couple of years ago.

I have mine every Friday. Usually cooked at home because I've had some proper dodgy ones in the past.

Msi bringing PS5 1440p "fix" to their gaming monitors

Pretty cool. Will be interesting to see how they scale it. 4k to 1440p or vice versa is not a 1:1 ratio like 1080p to 4k.

Of course Sony could just add support for 1440p and not be stupid about it.

Pretty good news, All current "RTX" titles do not use any form of proprietary tech or API but rather make sole use out of the DXR API meaning AMD's 6000 series GPU's will be able to play any and all "RTX" branded games minus 3, Quake II RTX, Wolfenstein: Youngblood and JX3 but that's just a workaround Nvidia had to use with Vulkan until Kronos release an update to Vulkan to support RT directly through their API.

Fried fish originates from the Jewish, but "chips" got popular in Yorkshire. The person who combined them however should be knighted!

Aye. Killer combination tbh.

And nothing of value was lost. I was honestly expecting Metro Exodus to be one of them.

Crysis uses the vulkan workaround too.... RT = some funky glitches

TechN which I mentioned some weeks back has now taken the crown as the best AMD waterblock on the market.

Normally new versions from most brands will improve temps by 1C at most if you are lucky.
TechN however has gone extreme allowing you almost 3C improvements

This is definately a watercooling company to look out for. Their DDC pumps look out of this world.

Angående priser

Som en fotnot vill vi även bemöta eventuella frågor om prissättningen. Tyvärr har vi ingen möjlighet att möta det sedan tidigare kommunicerade rekommenderade priset AMD bestämt, det är under vårt inköpspris. Skenande leverenskostnader med flygfrakt under rådande omständigheter och ett instabilt dollarpris påverkar dessvärre den här releasen på ett negativt sätt.

Regarding prices

As a footnote, we also want to address any questions about pricing. Unfortunately, we have no opportunity to meet the previously communicated recommended price AMD decided, it is below our purchase price. Rising delivery costs with air freight under prevailing circumstances and an unstable dollar price unfortunately affect this release in a negative way.
