Battery life can be stretched even further on the GX502 and GU502 with USB Power Delivery. While the default 230W adapter is made for hardcore gaming, it’s relatively heavy and consumes a formidable amount of power. For everyday tasks like web surfing and office producti...
To get intoTask Manager, type‘task’into the task bar search field and hit enter. Then, switch to thePerformance tabon the left-hand side. From there, you can use theCPU,Memory, andGPUtabs to check what CPU you have, how much memory you have and what speed it is operating at, and...
TDP:Important. Thermal Design Power (also called Total Graphics Power / TGP or Typical Board Power / TBP) is a measurement of power use and heat dissipation. GPUs may use anywhere from around 125W (RTX 4060 and RX 6600) to as much as 450W (RTX 4090). Your CPU and the rest of your...
the only person that can get annoying at times is my mother(great person otherwise), but when it comes to tech, talking her through basic things over face time can be quite the tall order these days haha. as far as time, maybe a few hours a month on weekends, n...
Because if it's the second one I may be able to use the OS boot SSD that I had as a small cache, the SSD is 500GB which I expect is much more than the OS will require. Assuming of course that caching allows part of an SSD to be used and it can be on the same drive as...
For Nvidia's Turing GPUs, performance again correlates pretty much directly with memory bandwidth, though with a few interesting exceptions. Notice that the 2060 Super, 2070 Super, and 2080 Super all end up with nearly identical performance? That's not an error. The odd bit is that the 2080...
While the first thing that comes to mind when you think about PCIe may be the slot on the motherboard where you connect your graphics card, the underlying, invisible technology is much more extensive. Our Latest Videos The PCIe lanes allotted to a component can profoundly impact tasks likerend...
For example, there are overclocked GTX 1660 Ti cards that cost basically as much as an RTX 2060. The problem is that a 2060, even at reference clock, is almost universally faster than even the highest overclocks you'll get from a 1660 Ti. That's because it has 25 percent more cores ...
from extremetech by Joel Hruska Nailing down how much power PC components consume is a surprisingly difficult question. It’s easy to answer how much power a system draws at the wall — a basic Kill…
The only thing really stopping old budget builds from playing the game is the hard requirement for an SSD. But, with how cheap thebest SSDsare getting on a daily basis, it shouldn't be much of a big deal to grab an affordable drive for your PC. ...
