NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 16 GB 3DMark Benchmark Leaks Out, Up To 62% Faster Than RTX 3080
As good of a gen on gen uplift that may be... The pricing still makes this terrible.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 spotted reaching 3.0 GHz and 616 Watts with GPU stress tool
Now there's one key thing to remember. In a typical gaming workload, 3Ghz is pretty easy to achieve while running around 400-450 watts average with a 4090. But similar to CPUs, once you turn on a stress test that snaps all cores into high gear, that is no longer possible without ramping up the wattage.

CPU Sales Midweek Update (2nd Zen 4 Week)#AMD $AMD #AMDRyzen pic.twitter.com/bdOSBFYNYW

Probably the last week I'll show this but looks like Zen 4 sales are so low this week that they are now competing with Rocket Lake. Remember, Rocket Lake came out in 2021! While this just one retailer from Germany, it certainly doesn't look good for Zen 4. It does look like a lot of people are in the same mindset as I was thinking when it comes to buying these next gen products vs getting 5800X3D or a cheap Z690 + Alder Lake S. I think a lot of tech companies are in for a wake up call, especially Nvidia and AMD.

Chaos;Head Noah Launching on PC via Steam today

While this does have lewd scenes, the overall story is supposed to be top tier. It was quite insane that Valve did not allow this game while Sex with Hitler was perfectly fine on Steam. It's good that they reversed this decision after the fan outcry but not every lewd game with a good story can get this treatment. I do hope Steam works on their guidance but I get the feeling we will continue to run into this issue.
Valve did have this to say:
Last edited by Jizz_Beard_thePirate - on 07 October 2022“Valve’s content review team, the group that made the original decision, has re-examined CHAOS;HEAD NOAH and decided to reverse course and allow the game to ship on Steam, as is. We’ve also examined the process that led to the previous decision about CHAOS;HEAD NOAH, and made some changes to avoid situations like this in the future.”
