OverclockersClub: Serious Sam 4 Performance Analysis
Three APIs, 61 graphics settings, over 200 options, and one serious man… Okay, maybe I am not always that serious, but Sam is, so it counts. I'm back again in Serious Sam 4 to look at how well it performs on the different GPUs in my collection, and to take a look at the graphics. Not too deep a look because there are a LOT of configurations that would need to be considered then, but hopefully deep enough. This does include looking at the performance impact of Variable Rate Shading, which offers a few options when using DirectX 12 and a supporting graphics card..

Bjorn3D.com: Gigabyte RTX 3090 Eagle OC 24GB
At the same time Nvidia released the excellent RTX 3080 they also released the RTX 3090, a successor to both the RTX 2080 Ti and the Titan RTX. While the RTX 3080 comes with 16 GB VRAM, Nvidia has put a whopping 24 GB VRAM on the RTX 3090. In addition the RTX 3090 comes with 10496 CUDA cores (up from 8704 for the RTX 3080), 82 Streaming Multiprocessors, a wider memory interface and almost 1 TB/s in memory bandwith. Today I am looking at the Gigabyte RTX 3090 Eagle OC 24 GB. As the name implies it comes with a (minor) overclock. How much faster is it than the Gigabyte RTX 3080 Eagle OC? Is it worth the extra money? Read on to to get the answers on these and many other questions.

APH Networks: Cooler Master MM711 Blue Steel Review
When I was in Grade 1, my teacher was teaching about vowels and the difference between short and long vowel sounds. Just for a quick lesson, long vowels sounds are identified by vowels that sound like saying the letter itself. Conversely, short vowels sounds do not sound like saying the letter. For example, the word "taint" has a long vowel "A" sound in it, while it also has a short vowel "I" sound. My teacher started by asking for student names that had different vowels in it to identify the vowel sounds. She started with the letter A, so someone immediately called out my name. She wrote out my name on the whiteboard and after a moment of thinking, she quickly erased it. "No, Aaron cannot be used, it's a special case". Obviously, she was referring to the fact the name "Aaron" exhibits neither the short or long vowel A sound. As you already know, Aaron is pronounced more like Air-in, rather than A-A-Ron, but this is probably due to the name's Hebrew and Greek origins. However, as a six-year-old, I just thought the teacher was calling me a special case, so I stayed quiet during this class. As I laugh at this moment in my past, it is quite normal nowadays to find special editions of existing products. Most of these variants are just color differences, but sometimes they can include some other extras or accessories. Today, we have yet another Cooler Master MM711, except this time in a limited edition colorway of Blue Steel. Is there anything else this mouse brings to the forefront or is this just a different variant? Let us read on to find out!
