After close to a month, the new NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3080 is still nowhere to be found. It is as scarce and rare as ever. I have not been successful in getting my hands on one of these things as the demand is just astronomical. I am a little bit disappointed at not being able... Continue Reading →
Today, with help from a friend, we completed the phase I of my PC upgrade. That involves swapping out the old, 650W PSU from Corsair to a 1000W PSU from Seasonic. I bought the new PSU from PC Theme, in Sim Lim Square last week. I upgraded my PSU so that my PC is ready... Continue Reading →
The biggest announcement by Nvidia is just around the corner (tomorrow in fact as of this writing) and it is without any surprise that they are going to announce a whole new lineup of GPUs based on the 7nm Ampere architecture that we have all been patiently waiting for.

If I remember correctly, I impose a moratorium on myself with regards to gaming PC upgrades. Last year, I upgraded my PC by getting a new case to fit a new motherboard and CPU. That CPU is the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X. It is a beastly 8-core, 16-thread CPU. I love it to death. I... Continue Reading →
This self imposed ban on PC upgrades for 2019 is going to be a tough one to uphold. The details on the upcoming AMD Ryzen 3000 series of CPU is still sparse and it is hard to separate fact from rumours. But if rumours are true, we might see a 16 core, 32 thread CPU... Continue Reading →
As 2016 comes to a close, I am in the process of writing up my new year resolutions for 2017. One of the goals involved meeting my financial goals for next year. I am going to list two main financial goals, one of which is a milestone goal, meaning that if I achieve my first... Continue Reading →
As I watched the Apple keynote live last night, there was only one thing that I was interested in. It was the new operating system for the Mac hardware, OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
