Under $950 for a gaming PC with one of the best RTX 30-series GPUs in it- Yeah, that works-
Nvidia’s RTX 3060 Ti was one of the best graphics cards of its generation. Not necessarily the fastest, but it delivered excellent bang for buck at its original price. Not so much in the pandemic/chip shortage years, and now that prices for competing and faster AMD Radeon GPUs have started sliding it’s not a drop-in upgrade GPU we’d recommend. But in a full gaming PC for less than a grand? Yeah, we’ll bite.
We’ve covered this Yeyjian Katana X10 gaming PC late last year, when its price was around the $1,100 mark. Back then that was a decent price, now it’s well below the $1,000 price point it’s even better.
Stating the bleedin’ obvious, that’s what I do, but an RTX 3060 Ti gaming PC for $949 at Newegg is pretty good.
There’s no artifice to this machine, it’s just …
With $550 off this might be the best value gaming PC for 1440p right now-
Skytech’s prebuilt gaming PCs often hit us right where we like them to: in the easy-on-the-wallet market segment for mainstream PC gamers. None of this “spend an extra $500 for more RGB” nonsense. Just solid value budget and mid-range builds.
This RTX 4070 Super Skytech Shadow gaming PC is one such build. It’s currently $1,350 on Newegg, that’s $550 (28%) off. And make no mistake, this machine’s RTX 4070 Super is definitely its primary selling point for this price.
The RTX 4070 was already a decent graphics card for 1440p and even some 4K gaming, but the RTX 4070 Super solidified its place in the midrange to high-end GPU market. This graphics card had the biggest boost to its CUDA core count out of all the Super cards that launched this year, up from 5,888 to 7,168.&nb…
Witcher author Andrzej Sapkowski says Netflix ‘never listened’ to his ideas, and as for the games ‘I have no time for this’-
Andrzej Sapkowski’s got a new Witcher book on the way, which means he’s out and about being his usual scorchingly, wonderfully honest self on the interview circuit. Most recently, he’s been at Vienna Comic Con, where he chatted with Austrian gaming website Cerealkillerz about writing (don’t do it), videogames (he doesn’t play them), and the Netflix Witcher TV series (they didn’t listen to him).
“Maybe I gave them some ideas,” Sapkowski said when asked if he ever gave Netflix feedback on the show, “but they never listened to me.” Emitting what I can only describe as a kind of cackle, Sapkowski repeated “they never listen,” before giving an impression of a Netflix exec irritatedly asking “Who’s this? It’s a writer, it’s nobody,” and dismissing Sapkowski with an airy wave of the hand…

The launch of AMD’s Zen 5 processors is close, as motherboard manufacturers begin rolling out BIOSes supporting the next-gen chips-
The launch of AMD’s Zen 5 based Granite Ridge family of processors is clearly drawing near. Asus has begun the process of rolling out support for the next-gen chips to its latest enthusiast tier X670E motherboards. The public release of supporting BIOSes indicates the chips could be released at basically any time.
The eagle-eyed hardware leaker HXL spotted the release of the BIOS series over at the Asus ROG forums. There have been seven BIOSes released so far—all for Asus ROG boards. All of them include the latest AGESA update, which is named FireRangePi.
With this news, just how close are we to Zen 5’s release? Publicly, AMD has only said it’s aiming for a launch in the second half of 2024. AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su’s Computex keynote on June 3 would be a logical forum to r…
WoW’s telegraphs are so cluttered that even the best guild in the world is using darkening potions during raids so they can fight more effectively-
World of Warcraft: Dragonflight has its fans and detractors, but on one point a huge number of players agree: the game’s telegraphs, the visual and audio cues that show what a given character is about to do, have become harder than ever to see. Some abilities have similar colours to the environment, while with others the hitbox behind the visual pizazz isn’t clear at all. Conveniently enough, however, Dragonflight arrived with a new kind of consumable that the world’s best players are using to see through the fog.
The following clip is from Team Liquid’s recent attempt at a world first Raid clear, during which one of the team pops an Inky Black Potion as they fight a boss: an item that “darkens the world around you” for two hours. Team Liquid is using this to make it easier …

SEBI’s AIF detailed data share full of valuable insights to aid niche policy interventions
By Gopal Srinivasan
As someone deeply entrenched in the private equity and venture capital industry for the past two decades, I find the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)’s quarterly publication on Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) as of March 2024, released on June 20, 2024, particularly noteworthy.
Fund managers, who previously harboured concerns over the submission of extensive data, must now commend SEBI for its painstaking efforts to transform this data into valuable insights.
