ASUS Says AMD to blame for ASUS ROG Strix Rx 5700 cooling issues

Asus ROG Strix Rx 5700 cooling issues

    A loose screw is the culprit behind the ROG Strix Radeon Rx 5700 heat issues.









    Asus is playing the blame game with its ROG strix Radeon Rx 5700 series of graphics card. Asus states in a post that the product guidelines from AMD recommended a mounting pressure PSI that is too low to properly dissipate heat. Asus will now ship the cards with higher mounting pressure and will offer an upgrade to people that already purchased the card.
    The ROG Strix Radeon Rx 5700 series of graphics cards experienced over-heating issues. Asus states that of torqued cards to a mounting pressure of 30-40 PSI "based on AMD's baseline recommendations". This pressure seemed low and following testing from Asus, the company determined that a pressure of 50-60 PSI works better. Here's an extract of Asus post:
     "Initial batches of ROG strix Rx 5700
       series graphics cards were torqued 
       to 70-30 PSI based on AMD; baseline
       recommendations. While those 
       guidelines provided leeway to apply 
       more torque, were dealing with a new 
       7nm GPU and didn't want to rise
       damage to die. After recieving user
       reports regarding temperature issues,
       we performed extended R&D testing 
       to find the optimal PSI range for our
       graphics cards without compromising 
       GPU reliability.
       As a result, all ROG Strix Radeon Rx
       5700-series graphics card shipped from 
       January 2020 foward feature new 
       screws that increases cooler mounting
       pressure to 50-60 PSI, resulting in 
       improved heat transfer from the GPU
       to the heatsink".
    Asus already began shipping cards with higher pressure in january. All cards from that series of cards going foward will ship with the higher pressure.
    Additionally, anyone who really purchased a ROG Strix Radeon Rx 5700 series graphics card can upgrade to one with higher mounting pressure starting in march 2020. Asus notes that the corona virus outbreak may affect shipments, which could affect March 2020 start date for upgrade.
    At this point, we have only heard ASUS's side of the story. While Asus did R&D testing to find an optimal mounting pressure after people complained about the over-heating issues, the company could have potentially spotted this issue before the cards launch.

Activision suggests call of duty: warzone is coming to mobile devices

  Activision suggests Call of Duty: Warzone is coming to mobile devices The recent game which was currently lauched on 10 May 2020 and is on par or is virtually competeting with the game released by blizzard entertainment known as Fortnite has been reported lately that activision suggests that it is coming to mobile devices. Though it has not been officially announced but according to one of our sources we were able to at least get a hint on what activision plans to do next. The above photograph is an evidence of ehat we are talking about, though it is not directly from activision itself but they are truly reliable when it comes to information gathering. A lot of questions have been brought up due to the this and they have been taking the heat afterwards but I don't think many will like this cause deep down we call of duty fans know that it can never be the same ie the grap6 may suffer, we'll only have limited options etc but stiil it isn't everyone who can be able to d

List of games that supports Ray-tracing

 List of games that supports Ray-tracing Before we start the whole article we'll like to use this opportunity to explain what Ray-tracing is especially for those who are new to this concept. Ray-tracing is a rendering technique that creates more realistic light effects. By using this rendering technique to simulate the physical behavior of light, you'll see it bounce off objects in the virtual world just as it would In reality. While Ray tracing has been around for some time in the film and Tv production Industries, the launch of the Nvidia's RTX graphics cards (late 2018) market the first instance when it could be rendered in real-time, making it possible to incorporate it into video games. It isn't only light that benefits from Ray tracing; this more realistic behavior of light also creates more authentic reflections and shadows. Ray-tracing Is the big buzz word of 2020 in PC gaming, and more Ray tracing games have just been announced during the Nvidia Ampere RTX 3000

Review on the launch of the new RTX 3080 card

 Review on the launch of the RTX 3080 card The GeForce RTX 3080 launch was practically the best Gpu launch ever and the most frustrating. The acceptance of the Nvidia Ampere architecture Gpu's has been off the charts and drive alot of interests. Nvidia witnessed 4 times the unique visitors to their website; it was expected that the demand for the RTX 30-series, but the enthusiasm was overwhelming. According to one of our sources, they said they were on heavy fire since the launch which lead to the crashing of servers and alot of frequent questions were asked,though  we may not cover it all but at least here's a few;  Why did Nvidia send "Notify me" emails knowing that the RTX 3080 was out of stock ?   According to Nvidia they replied; we intended for "Notify me" emails to go out at 6:00 am with the targeted start of availability. Due to the extreme demand and site traffic, we were unable to properly process orders on time. The emails were held back until err
