AMD could be developing a 32GB RDNA 4 GPU: possible RTX 5090 rival or enterprise only? WWW.TECHSPOT.COM Update: The leaker now claims the card will be the RX 9070 XT 32GB, priced much higher than the standard version, and will launch at the... Interesting. As usual, seems like competition might be growing, but this time its looking like the 5070 and 9070 might be the cards people are fighting over this round. We'll see.

To be honest, I'm just putting this news article out as a PSA. I want to see some 4090's end up living so I can score one used for $100 5 years from now.

Here's what's happened to the 12VHPWR power cable of our NVIDIA RTX 4090 after two years of continuous work WWW.DSOGAMING.COM So, what has happened to the 12VHPWR power cable of our RTX 4090 after two years? Has it melted? Let's find out. These guys are reporting that their cables are in fact melted after 2 years of use in the 4090, but they work just fine. Seems to be the same reporting as we're hearing about those power cables only having one path of power for the card (one shunt). 4090 owners probably should check up on their cables if they haven't for a while.

They're all welcome here, 100%.

If anybody uses Discord's Nitro thing, you can still get a free month of gamepass with a Nitro subscription. It's just a one month free pass though. Not quite what is being asked for. Sorry, I don't know of any other deals atm myself.

Everything else you said is spot on, I have nothing further to add or comment to on those points. This though.....because I scored a super rare Socket 939 motherboard with a 785G chipset from AM2+ on it with the onboard HD4200 that does hybrid crossfire. I also scored a dual HD 3450 card (ebay recommended it to me) for like 9 bucks. I was curious if I could get tri CFX to work with the onboard. Turns out at least so far, the answer is yes it works kinda? We've bashed it against the wall enough times it now has crossfire enabled across the onboard and the second core on the GPU. Not sure why, still trying to figure it out, possibly wrong driver. If onboard is disabled though, the dual HD 3450 card enables crossfire on its own absolutely no problem (even though nobody answered this directly decades ago). These really old ATI cards definitely had driver issues (after retirement for sure, AMD killed their performance with last release drivers). I do also have a real HD 3470 card that I can try and pair with the dual GPU card at a later date in a real crossfire supported setup if I want to continue trying with actual cards and not the onboard. Again, its more just because though. Lots of people asked these questions, and nobody ever actually tried and figured it out. The answer on these questions is, "its not worth it for the performance". I'm curious if its possible, and that answer was never actually found when these cards were new. Otherwise, it was just because of that motherboard find though. Wanted to build it into a working HTPC box instead of using a Roku, just because it was more fun to look at, and its got SUPER rare components in it in 2025.

Fixed the title and put the link and a quote from the article in. Thx for posting it anyway! This is interesting news to say the least. Let's see how this plays out. Interesting times with these big tech companies like Google, Meta, and X these days.

To be fair, there's something a lot of us enthusiasts tend to forget about. That "basic display output" is more than plenty enough to play MILLIONS of gaming titles out there. The fact that integrated graphics in 2025 even CAN play a video game at all (at 720p / low settings) is absolutely freaking AMAZING. Or are we forgetting the days of Intel graphics, SiS integrated, and things like the GT 210 or X1300 cards for example. The cards that really couldn't play games at all (even older games) at 640x480. I'm working on tri crossfire HD3450's right now actually. I assure you, you guys don't want to go back to the days of older basic graphics adapters and integrated solutions. This HD4200 is an absolute joke, honestly doesn't even really handle 1080p video playback. The fact that modern integrated cards CAN play gaming titles at all is a huge leap forward from where things used to be. Making that integrated graphics better, is only a good thing in my opinion. Yeah its for "turdbooks", sure. Most of your kids these days though, the next generation of enthusiasts, are on "turdbooks" though. That's something we as adults and life long enthusiasts tend to forget about too.

Intel's Next-Gen Nova Lake CPU Core Configurations Rumored To Feature Double The P-Cores & E-Cores, Up To 16 P & 32 E Cores WCCFTECH.COM Details for Intel's "next-gen" Nova Lake lineup have surfaced, giving us a glimpse of the rumored core counts for multiple CPU variants. Reddit user leaks, so take it for whatever its worth.

Nvidia's RTX 5080 is Actually an RTX 5070 | TechSpot WWW.TECHSPOT.COM Take a hard look at the specs, and you'll see the RTX 5080 is just an RTX 5070 in disguise. Nvidia's greed may be at play, and... Seems to be about in line with what everyone is saying. Are people finally waking up to Nvidia's shenanigans? Given how the cards are sold out everywhere, idk.

AMD’s new integrated graphics are almost 70% faster than an RTX 4070 WWW.DIGITALTRENDS.COM AMD's upcoming Strix Halo flagship looks insane, outclassing a mobile RTX 4070 by nearly 70% in some games. Of course AMD would be concentrating on their integrated graphics solutions, but holy cow. This should be great news for laptop users!

Update: So huge thanks to @ENTERPRISEover these last few weeks. Thanks to troubleshooting, and tickets being sent galore to everywhere, we believe we might FINALLY have our logins working for the site functions behind the scenes. This was a google issue, not a handover issue guys. Anyway, figured I'd do a quick site update here for you guys. The plan from here: We want to get all site functions back online. Site donations are priority #1 so we can restore people's premium membership roles. After that is ticked off the list and functioning, we want to tackle the Etsy store, and perhaps add some more things into that store. Also a huge huge shoutout to everybody who signed up to help out as staff on the site and discord. Seriously you guys all ROCK!!!!! We will be doing another round of hiring once things are added back to the site and as we grow. I am TRYING to keep a list of all current staff members on the new staff discord (staff only). Once I'm confident that list is accurate, I'll post it publicly on site so everybody knows who everybody is and what the roles are. PLEASE IF YOU ARE STAFF AND NOT IN THAT DISCORD SEND ME A DM. I'M NEW HERE. This transition has been rough for everybody for sure. But I'm super hopeful guys and gals, we're receiving a lot more positive feedback than we were anticipating from this venture! And like I've stated, its management's position that we'll be reinvesting into the community. So hopefully we'll see some great things in the coming years! We literally ARE one of a kind here at EHW. There's literally not another site like it on the internet. ~Management

Guys, the article and thread are about Elon potentially hiring gamers so that he's "the best gamer". Please keep the thread on topic. Yes, Elon is a political figure, but let's keep it to the article's subject matter please. TY.

I'd like to announce the first ever official EHW youtuber that's been sponsored. If there's any interest from anybody about learning video editing things, he's amazing. This first video (with the sponsorship) wasn't really meant to be edited and produced, but he had fun doing it so whatever. He was excited to announce it, so we're excited to as well. Him and the youtubing community mirror EHW's core beliefs of helping people learn new things and "pushing it to the limit". What a better way than to sponsor an up and coming youtube star? No, won't be spamming the website with videos. Just the one to introduce him. If he decides to upload them, he's welcome to post his youtube videos under Member Content. Otherwise he'll probably just keep to the youtube platform. Huge HUGE shoutout to @EctorPlays. Thank you, ~Management

I don't plan to keep up, I plan to have fun.

I unironically got into this game this year. Pretty good game so far.

I don't really keep up with news about Elon Musk, but QFT. I mean seriously, I suck at games. I'll flat out admit it. I'm stupid. (That's unironically my hook as a youtuber ) Basically I think its more honorable to just own your faults and be yourself. Nobody should really care if Elon Musk is a gaming god or not. Who cares? It'd still be fun to sit down and join a game and have Elon Musk there. I don't care if he beats me or I beat him, it should just be a good time (my thoughts on gaming). Yeah, there's competitive gaming out there, but that's not Elon, nor is it 99% of gamers out there anyway. I refer back to Andrew's quote above........

Popped caps aren't that big of a deal though. I'd say send it over here and I'd solder some new ones in for you, but even just the shipping costs (and time without it) really makes it not worthwhile considering you're over seas from me. You should have zero issues finding somebody locally that can recap that, but tbh you probably could too with a $20 iron and a couple spare old crap motherboards laying around to practice on (capacitors are capacitors, doesn't matter what you're practicing on). Ironically I had the same problem on one of the ECU components on my old Prelude. Wasn't the ECU directly but some small computer relay thing that operated the ignition (very VERY similar issue you're describing). I think it was called the "main relay", but it wasn't actually a relay, it had caps and an IC in there too.

Oh they've had monopoly's for years, since the internet started. At least around here. We've only EVER had Charter (now Spectrum). Since the internet's creation. Yeah, we can get "others" now like Starlink (way expensive for the speeds) or LTE services like T Mobile or Verizon (no 5G here). But its still Spectrum's death grip on ISP's around here. -_- If anything, I'd rather see our localities push to break up these monopolies and allow further development of other internet companies, especially Fiber. Ziply Fiber has been TRYING to expand here for years to no avail.

Grudges have absolutely nothing to do with management's decisions to change staff a little bit. As I mentioned to you in private, this was a coordinated decision from the new owner. We have made several staffing changes already. Really don't think public is the right place to address this, but since you wanted to go that way, fine. We do regret that this is effecting you personally. If you decide to leave the site based on a title like that, with new ownership, instead of trying to build a working relationship, that's up to you. You're welcome to stay and hang out, like I mentioned in DM. We'd love for you to see the progress we're planning for the site and brand. Sorry to see you go mate.

Interesting bit of news. I'd love to see more affordable internet options to be honest. It'd certainly be a shame if NY causes Star Link to pull out because of this. I'm torn, I appreciate that law as a citizen who thinks internet companies are ripping consumers off. But at the same time, I understand Musk's position that Starlink costs a lot to setup and run, so he needs those profits to keep the services going. Sigh. Hopefully there's a favorable outcome from this for NY citizens regardless.

I just picked up a Sparkle A770 Titan (maybe I should write a review on it?). Absolutely one of my most BEAUTIFUL GPU's in my collection. Such a simplistic, minimalistic, and yet gorgeous design. Looks like Sparkle is nailing this B580 too!

They were a part of the deal, yes. Due to modern authentication issues, and the vast time zone differences, and busy schedules.....not ALL aspects have been fully transferred as of this post, no. Request has been submitted to resolve these issues though as of this weekend. Enterprise has been extremely accommodating in the ownership transfer process. Baby steps guys, baby steps. I did say I've never done this before. The fact the site hasn't burned to the ground yet is apparently a shock to some people....myself included. (It's a joke after all the parts I've caught on fire) Every aspect of the site WILL be returning to full force before May. Well, at least that's the planned deadline. We'd LIKE to move the site to a cheaper alternative after May. But we also have the requirement of retaining ALL site features though too, so that might not be possible. All things we're researching, learning, and figuring out. The site is paid for, for at least the next year. We will reassess when that year anniversary gets nearer.
