Can I remind you that modern games expect you to run them at 1080p WITH FRAME GEN on 5080?

Good news, everyone!

Apparently, Arc Raiders fans discovered a new performance issue in Unreal Engine: if your mouse is modern, it can run at 500, 1000, or even 2000Hz (polling rate). The input system of Unreal Engine (and some other apps and engines) go nuts if your mouse is not 250Hz. At 500+ it does some odd compensation and it makes the input inconsistent.

This adds up to extra computation of camera culling, LOD, and lighting that the engine must show and hide when you look around. And it feels as stuttering.

For some mice the setting can be found in apps, for some it's literally a button underneath. You need faster rate for competitive multiplayer, but almost no engine can really work with 2000Hz, for example. Unreal sets no limiter on the input and every USB command make it stop to receive it and review. Now imagine it has 2000 of them when the CPU is already overloaded.

Wait, it's real: 5070 Ti 16GB and 5060 Ti 16GB are discontinued and at best you can aim for 5070 12GB.

The limit will last at least for Q1 of 2026, but could continue as long as the memory shortage will last. But Asus is saying "these models will likely never return".

4% faster at best, 15% more expensive: kinda not worth it with current prices

Steam Deck is completely [OUT OF STOCK] and Valve confirmed that the issue is memory shortage. And it's not just price, they simply can't buy any more RAM.

RAM Prices are getting lower according to Tom's Hardware. There's still a huge shortage, but people just stopped buying it anyway.

Xiaomi decided to commit suicide and bricked all of its gray import smartphones with HyperOS 3 update.

If by any chance you have a Chinese phone with global firmware (or just suspiciously affordable Xiaomi and POCO), do not update your phone. And disable automatic updates.

The phone now checks the real region and the one the device was aiming for. And locks it into an infinite loop if they don't match. Some users were able to fix the issue by quickly manually rebooting the phone over and over at least 7 times. Then it rolls back to the old system.

Micron announced their new 24GB GDDR7 memory chips, rated at 36Gb/s (currently, the most popular solutions are 3GB per die). They will power the next generation of graphics cards.

But we all know that consumers will not get any...

Do not use the recent NVIDIA drivers, they are faulty (again)
