Asus Dual RTX 4070 12G or RTX 3080 cease to make sense

GPU and VRAM temperatures

GeForce RTX 4070 graphics cards fill a large gap between the RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4060 Ti, and in terms of speed or gaming performance, they hover around the RTX 3080. But that’s with many advantages, including half the power draw with the RTX 4070. With cheaper designs, such as the tested Asus Dual variant, the price/performance ratio is also more attractive with the RTX 4070 (compared to discount RTX 3080s).

Note: If the measured value is missing for the selected graphics card, it means that it cannot be detected by the internal sensor.

The fix for dying Intel CPUs is out for first motherboards

It looks like the most important thing to happen in the PC industry this year are the widespread issues of Intel Raptor Lake processors with instability and game crashes caused by gradual physical damage to the chips due to high voltages that leads to irreversible degradation. The microcode patches, which will hopefully stop the CPUs from dying – the CPUs for which it is not too late already that is – have finally started to appear.
