Anyone read the Tom's Hardware article: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-rtx-gpus-worth-the-money,37689.html

 

and Gamer's Nexus response? 

 

I'll admit that I basically stopped reading the TH article when they were took Nvidia's internal benchmarks as absolute truth in support of purchasing a card - though I think we can all admit that Nvidia wouldn't try to find the best possible cases to show off their cards or cherry pick results.  No component maker does that do they?

There's a thread about the article in Tech News already

 

But yeah, that article is one of the dumbest things I've seen in quite some time.

I read that article before watching the video, I thought I was going crazy, until I saw the vid. I was blown away that such a thing would be posted on tomshardware. 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I laughed out loud for real maybe 4 times while seeing GN's video. Man, Steve dropped the hammer hard.

Ultra is stupid. ALWAYS.
