Tech News

  • You can't feed cocoa seeds to parrots.


  • I mentioned that Far Cry 6 requires more video memory at its highest quality settings than most of Nvidia's current generation of cards actually provides.

    This review shows the effects. (Tom's Hardware)

    Scroll down to the benchmarks of 4K Ultra DXR settings and the scores for the RTX 3060 Ti, 3070, and 3070 Ti are suddenly missing. The text explains why: Those cards at those settings abruptly drop as low as 10 fps.

    The RTX 3060, which is slower card but has more memory, maintains a reasonably playable 30 fps.

    It's not an insurmountable problem: Drop down to 2560x1440, or switch off DXR, and the three missing cards turn in 50 fps or better. But it does highlight the fact that Nvidia's most popular cards right now are low on memory relative to both their compute performance and their competition. Those three cards have 8GB, where both the cheaper RTX 3060 and AMD's competing 6700 XT come with 12GB.


  • Eight problems with Windows 11 and how to fix them. (Bleeping Computer)

    Step One: Don't install Windows 11.


Workstation Alternatives Video of the Day



The Nvidia A4000 uses the same chip as the 3070 Ti, costs about the same as a 3070 Ti, and comes with 16GB of ECC RAM vs. 8GB on the 3070 Ti. The catch is that it's a lower power card and clocked much slower, so it performs more like the 3060 Ti than the 3070 Ti - unless you specifically want to run Far Cry 6 at 4K Ultra DXR settings, in which case it's perfect.


Do Not Taunt Happy Fun Steam Deck Video of the Day



Louis Rossman takes Steam to task over a how-to video that claims that repairing your Steam Deck yourself could be fatal. To you, not the Steam Deck. Well, to both, I guess.
