Let's first address the elephant in the room: The pricing is either fantasy land or, in the case of actual 'street' pricing, egregious. Theoretically, the Sapphire Nitro+ initially launched at $769, but of course, it was sold out — just like every other GPU. Newegg currently lists it at $999, and it’s still out of stock. The Asus Strix LC is a similar story, with a launch price of $899 but a current Asus store price of $1,080, and it's also sold out. ASRock gave a launch price of $829, but retail prices are much higher than that, and naturally, the reference AMD RX 6800 XT can't be had for anything close to $649. … [Read more...] about AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT Roundup: ASRock, Asus, and Sapphire Reviewed

HP Spectre x360 14 review: The convertible 2-in-1, perfected
As with the Tiger Lake version of the Spectre x360 13, the 14-inch version has two USB Thunderbolt 4 ports on the right-hand side, one on the edge and one embedded in the notch underneath the display. There’s also a 3.5mm audio jack and miniSD card reader on this side of the chassis. On the other side is the single USB-A 3.1 port. One difference from the 13-inch model is that the power button is no longer in the other notch — this time, it’s on the keyboard, which is a bummer for anyone who uses their laptop closed with an external display. … [Read more...] about HP Spectre x360 14 review: The convertible 2-in-1, perfected
Asus GPU Tweak 3 in Open-Beta, Ready for RTX 30 and RX 6000 Series GPUs
Regarding tools, Asus has updated GPU Tweak 3 with more tools at your disposal. Asus gives you the Xplit Gamecaster for free (same as GPU Tweak 2), a mining program called Quantum Cloud — which is just another mining program to make you a few cents thru GPU mining. (If you're serious about mining, there are far more profitable tools available.) Finally, you get a direct download to ROG's FurMark utility, which is Asus's modified version of the vanilla FurMark stress testing tool. (You can download it separately if you don't use GPU Tweak 3). … [Read more...] about Asus GPU Tweak 3 in Open-Beta, Ready for RTX 30 and RX 6000 Series GPUs
