Blu-ray is starting to appear as a built-in feature on video cards with Sapphire the latest company to add the technology to its products.
The Sapphire HD 3850 Ultimate Edition is completely silent thanks to its passive cooling system.
And the HD in the name stands for high-definition - as a built-in unified video decoder means Blu-ray movies can be played back using the graphics card.
MSI is proud to announce that its gaming handheld, Claw, has achieved a significant performance increase of up to 30% through a new BIOS and MSI Center M update. Furthermore, the new BIOS and MSI Center M enable Claw to smoothly play all of the top 100 po
is this the one with the switch2 chip inside.?
this is Intels first try at the format
probs not though, as it's $799. so not good for switch actually
Well thats nice considering Ive heard it consistently performs worse when it really shouldn't.
Now if only Lenovo would do the same for the legion go
Yet another leak for the ASUS ROG Ally X points towards as much as 8 hours of battery, but how does that compare to the competition?
Honestly, I really like this updated version. But it doesn't solve the biggest flaw that the original had for me: the Z1 Extreme APU. Yes, it's an extremely powerful part, but it is not part of AMD's Adrenalin driver update program, so it's dependent on Asus for driver updates. And unfortunately, Asus doesn't have a stellar record of support for their devices.
Up to 8 hours basically just means the least demanding games. AAA gaming at highest wattage would probably be about 2-3 hours which is good compared to just about 1 hour with the current ally. The OLED Deck can do about 2-3hrs.
With much less performance so that makes sense.
The Steamdeck shines at the lower TDP end but gets absolutely mopped at the high end.
Similar longevity with much better performance is a big win for the Ally X
They used to be the best when it comes to motherboards, now I will never buy anything from them again.
Nope. The only improvements I want to hear is better customer support. Otherwise, I can't be bothered.

nothing unusual though but it is good to see that BD is becoming mainstream tech
I don't think a lot of people should find this surprising if thy had been reading for example if you check some of the drivers for NVIDIA (and ATI I assume) there have been upgrades for Blu-Ray and HD DVD playback and some other things, other hardware has already had for a good while Blu ay and HD DVD compatibility like motherboards for example my Gigabyte mobo
if u look on disc it says DL,50 gig, version 1.1, 2x(speed).
thats the ill s#it right there.
THE FUTURE IS BLU!!!!!!
yes i confused my self, lol.
thank you, both. +bubbles for your help
that 8800 gts with 1 gig ram looks promising.
i hope its a g92 core with gddr5.
Bluray support in a video card is pointless. The GPU doesn't care if you're playing Bluray or HDDVD. Its all about the drive and the player/software.
