Gigabyte introduces their newest UDM1000GM PG5, a 1000W power supply unit (PSU) with 80+ Gold efficiency certification. The latest PSU from Gigabyte is more consolidated than most competitors' power supplies offering full modular connectivity. Gigabyte also included the next-gen PCIe Gen5 connectors, becoming the new standard for PSUs and working with the most recent graphics cards. Gigabyte UD1000GM PG5 is the first PCIe Gen5 compatible power supply designed by the company. PCIe 5.0 is the next-gen power supply standard and is in line with the previous generation's PCIe 4.0 standard. The bandwidth and transfer rates are twice as fast as the PCIe 4.0, permitting data to transmit at remarkably speedier speeds. PCIe 5.0 offers 32 GT/s and transfer rates of up to 3.94 GB/s. The specification is officially named the "12VHPWR" specification. The new PCIe standard has raised confusion in the manufacturer's market because they do not understand how it should be documented. Gigabyte is one of the manufacturers that is baffling not only themselves but also their users. For instance, the new UD1000GM PG5 utilizes up to four different terminologies for the next-gen cable and connector: PCIe Gen5 cable 12+4-pin cable 16-pin cable 12VHPWR Gigabyte further confuses customers by using all four names and this description on their product page.As for the power supply itself, it’s a new variant of the existing model. The new version replaces two 8-pin power connectors with a single 12+4-pin cable. While all of these titles are correct for the technology, adding that many names will complicate matters when users try to purchase the newest power supply architecture from Gigabyte.VideoCardz notates that there are already 6pin, 6+2-pin, 8-pin, and 12-pin when it comes to power supply cable types. The next generation from the 12-pin would be the adopted 16-pin cable connection. The 16-pin cable may have 16 connection pins, but it is a mixture of 12 main power connectors and 4 data cables. The cable and connection comply with PCI Express standards and include added security to the link, allowing for power consumption levels as high as 600W. Gigabyte has yet to reveal the launch date or estimated pricing for the new UDM1000GM PG5 power supply unit. However, with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics cards on the horizon, which utilize the PCIe Gen5 connection, manufacturers such as ASUS, MSI, and CoolerMaster are already introducing their versions of power supplies for the following generation.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction is getting its first Crisis Event, Spillover, today. Crisis Events are limited-time events where players will face unique large-scale threats in the Containment Zone, said Ubisoft. These events can also only be played by a group of three players, so if you're one or two players short, that won't work. Spillover is described by the developers as the ultimate defense experience in Rainbow Six Extraction, putting an emphasis on properly preparing defenses (reinforcing walls, doors and windows, placing traps, etc.) just like in a Rainbow Six Siege match. These incursions, limited to a single submap, will feature nine so-called Sprawl Colonies to decontaminate with the new Dissolution Agent canisters in any order you want. When a canister is activated, players will need to defend it for 90 seconds from waves of Archæans assaults. Do note that the enemy types will change from time to time, and the Archæans will head straight for the canister (which has 500 health points) unless impeded to do so. Additionally, Sprawl Colonies can have one out of three traits in Spillover: Cloaked(all Archæans spawned by them will be invisible), Spore (all Archæans carry spores on them), and Elite (some Archæans will be Elite foes). The Archæans spawned by Sprawl Colonies are also always alert and aware of the player's position, so stealth won't work. The more Sprawl Colonies you've managed to complete, the stronger the Archæans will be. You can attempt to decontaminate two or even three Sprawl Colonies at the time, but because of the aforementioned growing difficulty, this is best done at the beginning of the incursion. Players will have twenty-five minutes to do everything and extract. Of course, you don't need to complete everything before extraction, though that would only earn you a partial reward. The full reward XP is higher than the amount you normally get in the regular game, by the way.As if that wasn't enough of an incentive, defeating 500 Archæans during the Spillover event (set to last three weeks) will unlock the exclusive REACT portable Auto-Turret. The turret won't be obtainable anymore after the event is over. Of course, there are also exclusive weapon charms, skins, and outfits to be earned. Last but not least, Spillover permanently adds the beloved Rainbow Six Siege operator Zofia, who packs a handy Grenade Launcher. She is focused on survivability, making her a great asset in this specific Crisis Event.

Despite the improvements Samsung has made to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, it is unable to dethrone Apple’s iPhone 13 Pro Max in the battery drain. Different flagships are also a part of the test, but they too cannot compete with Apple’s latest and greatest. iPhone 13 Pro Max’s Endurance Is Unworldly as It Lasts More Than 2 Hours Than the Second-Best Flagship An impressive lineup of flagships are placed on YouTuber Mrwhosetheboss’s desk, ranging from last year’s Galaxy S21 Ultra, Google’s Pixel 6 Pro, and the Xiaomi 12 Pro. With the battery test underway, it becomes pretty evident that the Galaxy S22 Ultra is not going to be at the top of the battery drain test because it is beaten by its predecessor, if only by a small margin.Since the YouTuber has the Exynos 2200 version of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, it is assumed that the excessive overheating of the chipset caused Samsung’s latest flagship battery to die out quicker, making it a disappointing result. Initially, it looks as if the iPhone 13 Pro Max is struggling to keep pace with the rest of the premium Android handsets, but its dominance is soon highlighted in the test when the Pixel 6 Pro and Xiaomi 12 Pro are the first to be completely discharged. The iPhone 13 Pro Max’s battery lasted for a whopping 10 hours and 27 minutes, and what is even more remarkable is the device has a 4352mAh battery, which is the smallest cell present in all the five smartphones tested. These results once more prove that it is not just the size of the battery alone that determines its overall endurance. Given below is how long each flagship lasted, and before you ask, each handset had 100 percent battery health prior to getting tested. This gives users an accurate representation of how long each model would last if they were to purchase a brand new one. Pixel 6 Pro - 7 hours and 6 minutes Xiaomi 12 Pro - 7 hours and 34 minutes Galaxy S22 Ultra - 8 hours 8 minutes Galaxy S21 Ultra - 8 hours 15 minutes iPhone 13 Pro Max - 10 hours 27 minutes If you want to check out the entire battery drain test, it is given below, and also share your thoughts in the comments.

The Intel Alder Lake processor family initiated the surge of hybrid designs traversing the customer market with new high-performance P-cores and high-efficiency E-cores united to complete diverse structure creation. As reported by Phoronix, the next-generation Intel Raptor Lake CPUs will continue enablement in the upcoming Linux kernel. Intel is prepping for Raptor Lake integration in Linux 5.18 with audio support for the upcoming platform Intel's innovative Raptor Lake design will launch with an expected delivery of the last quarter of this year, and the application ecosystem is currently readying for its coming. Recently, audio support for the new Intel Raptor Lake processors has been initiated into the upcoming Linux kernel 5.18.Intel's Raptor Lake processors will utilize a next-gen Raptor Cove core configuration and deliver as many as 24 cores and 32 threads. Initially, the 13th gen Intel CPUs will offer 8 Raptor Cove and 16 Gracemont Enhanced cores for the highest SKU accessing a sum of 32 threads. In total, the new Intel family will offer 36 MB of L3 cache for all bodies and 18 MB of L2 cache, reaching a total of 54 MB of Smart Cache for the premium Raptor Core chipset. Intel is estimated to feature 2 MB L2 / 3 MB L3 cache per Raptor Cove core while each Gracemont Cluster will showcase 4 MB L2 and 3 MB L3 cache — a total of 36 MB L3 cache across all cores, 16 MB (2x8) P-cores, and 16 MB (4x4) E-cores. The 125W Intel Raptor Lake-S variant will offer a PL1 rating of 125W, PL2 rating of 188W, and PL4 rating of 238W. In performance modes, Raptor Lake is rumored to provide between 125W to as high as 314W. As the report points out, the Raptor Lake enabling is a process that had continued since the period when Skylake was apparent, where placing other IDs to the drivers helps the end product. Regardless, Intel is taking their time preparing the software enablement across the board for Raptor Lake to make sure the product will be functional is intriguing. In Linux kernel 5.17, Intel's Raptor Lake-S Gen 12-based graphics card acquired initial software assistance. Upon full maturity of the software packages, support for Raptor Lake will be completely accessible once the new processors arrive at the end of this year.

A metro system isn't going to be added to Cyberpunk 2077, as the developer has no plans of doing so.Speaking on his official Twitter profile, CD Projekt Red Global Community Director Marcin Momot confirmed that the developer has no plans to add a metro system to their game, shooting down rumors that have started circulating online in the past few hours. The lack of a metro system in Cyberpunk 2077 is not much of a problem for PC players, anyway, thanks to a mod released back in December that introduces such a system to the game, complete with 19 explorable stations. - Adds a fully useable NCART System to the game - Lets you switch between a third person and a first-person perspective - This includes 19 handbuilt stations, where you wait for the train - 100% Native UI, 100% Controller compatible, no loading screens and no hotkeys you have to set - Look down onto the city streets and realize just how beautiful this game is Speaking about mods, modders have already started expanding on some of the new features introduced to Cyberpunk 2077 by patch 1.5. The Appearance Change Unlocker improves the Appearance Change Mirror by adding options that are available in the character creator but not in the mirror, like facial features, voice, and body. This mod can be downloaded from Nexus Mods and is compatible with redscript 0.5.0. Cyberpunk 2077 is available on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and Google Stadia worldwide, with a free trial available on consoles. PC gamers can also enjoy the brand new ray traced local light shadows, developed in partnership with NVIDIA to improve the game's image quality through ray tracing; Cyberpunk 2077 previously only rendered sun shadows through ray tracing, which resulted in missing shadows for some objects.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G is all set to debut on Thursday in India alongside the OnePlus TV Y1S. But apart from the new flagship smartphone and smart TV lineup, OnePlus is reportedly planning to unveil a handful of products in the coming days. The Chinese smartphone company is said to be working on multiple new smartphones in the Nord series and is expected to launch at least one new product every month in India. Also, the upcoming lineup is said to include smart accessories including a new smart band and a smartwatch. Known tipster Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings) — in collaboration with MySmartPrice — suggested that OnePlus is looking to ship different devices to India this year including several smartphones with the Nord branding, smart band, and a new smartwatch. The smartwatch is expected to come as the successor to the OnePlus Watch that went live in March last year. As per the report, OnePlus will have at least one product offering every month in India. More details about the upcoming OnePlus products are unknown at this moment. OnePlus is all set to unveil OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G and new smart TV models in the OnePlus TV Y1S lineup in India on February 17. The company has started teasing the handset along with the OnePlus TV Y1S and OnePlus TV Y1S Edge via its social media channels and e-commerce websites.

The performance benchmarks of AMD's Ryzen 9 6900HS APU have been unveiled and it offers the same performance as the 'HX' part but with higher efficiency. AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS APU Benchmarks Leak: An Efficiency Tuned 8 Core Rembrandt With Same Performance As The 6900HX In terms of specifications, the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS has literally the same configuration as the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX. It rocks 8 cores, 16 threads, 16 MB of L3 cache and the Radeon RX 680M iGPU. The clock speeds are also the same, rated at 3.3 GHz base and 4.9 GHz boost but there's one difference and that's the TDP. The HS parts come with a 35W TDP while the HX parts are suited for 45W+. This means that the HX parts will have a slight advantage when it comes to clock stability while HS parts are usually thermally-constrained and will have to divide that power budget between the iGPU and the CPU. But the latest benchmarks of AMD's Ryzen 9 6900HS APU show that despite a lower TDP, it can actually manage to offer similar performance as the Ryzen 9 6900HX. In Geekbench 5, the chip scored 1571 points in single-core and 9751 points in multi-core which is right there with AMD's Ryzen 9 6900HX. The configuration is a high-end ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 'GA402RK_GA402RK' laptop with 32 GB of memory. The APU was running under the 'Performance Mode' Windows 11 profile. Benchleaks also managed to find an entry of the same ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 laptop in the PugetBench database. The laptop, while being a high-end design, is optimized for peak power efficiency as it features the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS APU and also the latest Radeon RX 6800S GPU which is specifically tuned to offer low-power consumption compared to the RX 6800M. Based on the performance numbers, the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS should be competing against the Intel Core i7-1280P which is also a power-optimized variant but has the advantage of higher cores. Overall, the 6900HS looks to be a very competitive CPU which can power some nice $1500 laptop designs.

Baldur's Gate 3 is currently on its way to receiving its seventh major patch. The patch known as Absolute Frenzy (or Patch 7) brings the introduction of the playable Barbarian class and the sport of goblin-tossing alongside many other additions, changes, and fixes that will join the game on its path toward 1.0. The update was announced during Larian Studios' Panel From Hell: 5th Edition. Watch the trailer for the Absolute Frenzy update below: The Absolute Frenzy update for Baldur's Gate 3 brings the Barbarian class: This merciless combatant fueled by nature's fury and boasting chaos energy is going to join the game later today. The class also has two subclass variants: Wildheart Barbarians choose a Bestial Heart to inspire, protect and guide them, receiving different combat abilities and facial piercings depending on their choice. Berserker Barbarians pull from a reservoir of pure fury, turning their Rage into a Frenzy that grants two new bonus actions – Enraged Throw wreaks additional damage to enemies and inflicts the prone status, and Frenzied Strike allows Berserkers to attack twice using a bonus action like Improvised Weapon. The new gameplay mechanic introduced in the Absolute Frenzy update allows players to use improvised weapons. Almost anything has the potential to become a deadly projectile to be hurled at your foes. Improvised Weapons do damage based on their weight, and characters can wield an Improvised Weapon that weighs up to three times their Strength ability score. In other words, players can use gigantic enemies to thwack enemies. The update also includes a total overhaul of Baldur's Gate 3's HUD UI, making it slicker, streamlined, and easier to use. In addition, there's going to be new Magic Loot throughout the world as well as several improvements toward stealth and exploration. Finally, the update will include upgraded cinematics for nearly 700 cutscenes. Baldur's Gate 3 is currently available as an Early Access game on Steam. The game is set to be fully released at some point in 2022.

The GeForce RTX 3050, the most recent launch, currently sits at 49% over MSRP. A detailed video by Moore's Law is Dead highlights the whole pricing situtation:Now it needs to be remembered that the previous major price hike and price drop that we saw last year was purely a result of the mining boom and mining crash, respectively. The same is happening right now and while mining did get pretty significant earlier this month, it is rebounding and GPU prices are expected to go up with manufacturers expected to hike the prices by another 10-20% for high-end components. As such, we should wait and see if this price adjustment continues or we see another price inflation moving into mid of 2022.

A new Dying Light 2 mod that has been released online today improves the game's atmosphere by tweaking the weather system. The Moody Weather mod is a simple tweak to the default weather config that increases the chances of overcast and foggy weather. I love DL the most when it rains. In DL2, it washes out all the oversaturated colors better than any reshade and overcast, fog or rain have overall better atmosphere. On top of it, in vanilla, there is usually barely around 3% to encounter storm. This is just simple tweak that pushes overcast and foggy weather chance across all day times well over clear sky, with also higher chance for rain and storm. Feel free to tweak % to your liking. In the game, NPCs often complain about lack of rain and clear sky is kind of "canon", so use it only if you like atmosphere over dialog (or use the Dark Drought version of the pak, which keeps the rain closer to original values) The Dying Light 2 Moody Weather mod can be downloaded from Nexus Mods. Dying Light 2 is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Xbox One. Learn more about Techland's game by checking out Nathan's review. Dying Light 2 Stay Human is another exhilarating parkour and zombie-pummeling playground from Techland, although at times, the seams holding it all together are a bit obvious. Given the game’s glitches, minor gameplay annoyances, and crudely bisected story and world, reports of behind-the-scenes issues feel all-too-plausible. That said, the foundation here is rock solid, and Techland has proven they’re capable long-term builders, so I’m confident Dying Light 2’s embers can be stoked to a full flame in time.

NVIDIA's recently launched GeForce RTX 3050 8 GB graphics card will soon come in two GPU variants, one featuring a more efficient design. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 8 GB Graphics Card To Feature 115W TBP With More Efficient GA107 GPU Currently, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 8 GB graphics card features the Ampere GA106 GPU core. The GA106-150 SKU features a very cut-down variant of the full GA106 chip and packs 2560 cores & an 8 GB memory running across a 128-bit bus interface. Now the latest report from Igor's Lab talks about a new variant of the card coming soon that will feature the GA107 GPU as was rumored back a few months. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card with the GA106 and GA107 GPU configuration will retain the same specifications as current models and AIBs will have no trouble migrating to the brand new chip as both the GA107 and GA106 GPUs are pin compatible so no new PCBs will be required. However, while the specifications remain the same, there's one fundamental change that can be expected in the new model. It is stated that the GeForce RTX 3050, particularly the GA107 GPU variant, will feature a TBP of 115 Watts compared to the 130W TBP of the GA106 variant. This is possible thanks to the more efficient architecture design of the GA107 GPU which is mainly aimed at the mobility segment & coming to the desktop segment.It is also stated that the GA106 GPU should offer better overclocking since its max power limit is rated at around 150W while the GA107 GPU is rated at around 130-140W peak limit though that isn't confirmed yet and NVIDIA may allow AIBs to unlock the GA107 GPU to the same power limit as the GA106 GPU. Do note that the RTX 3050 is also rumored to get a 4 GB model with cut-down specs on the GA107 GPU. It is also stated that having the graphics card on both GA106 and GA107 GPU SKUs will mean that NVIDIA could offer an increased supply of RTX 3050 mainstream cards to gamers and could also lead to an eventual price drop from its current $400/400 Euro inflated prices. There would be no clear indication as to which graphics card features the GA107 or GA106 GPU unless mentioned by manufacturers on their retail packages.

Minisforum has further detailed its upcoming B550 Mini PC which will feature support for socketed AMD Ryzen CPUs & full-length discrete graphics cards. Minisfroum Details Its Upcoming B550 Mini PC: Supports 65W Socketed AMD Ryzen Desktop CPUs & Full-Length Discrete Graphics Minisfroum first announced details on its B550 chipset-powered Mini PC back in November 2021. The company told us the upcoming product is their most powerful design yet, offering up to 12 Core AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs. The CPU selection will range from Ryzen 5000G APUs and the Ryzen 5000X CPUs with TDPs of up to 65W. The Minisforum B550 Mini PC will be a full DIY setup featuring a highly customizable design. It will come with a free expansion dock which has a docking board for the Mini PC itself. The PCIe x16 slot can be exposed to plug it on the riser board which allows you to set up the docking board with any regular discrete graphics card. The docking board is a mix of an extension and a DIY chassis. Three months ago, mini PC manufacturer MinisForum released information about an AMD B550 chipset mini PC. According to the press release, the mini PC will support a CPU with no integrated graphics card so it will have to support a dedicated GPU although they didn’t talk about which GPU will be equipped in the mini PC. Today there is some new information about it. The mini PC’s custom motherboard has a PCIe connector that can be used to connect with a dedicated graphics card with the help of a supporting dock (dock is included in the package). The motherboard also has two M.2 2280 SSD slots that support NGFF SATA and NVMe PCIe3.0. There are two ways to power the PC. If you use AMD APU like 5600G or 5700G, there is a standard 19V power brick included in the package and you can use it directly without using the supporting dock. However, if you want to do some DIY and connect it with a dedicated graphics card, you will need to use your own ATX or SFX power supply. By doing so you can use a desktop CPU like 5600X in this mini PC and the whole system’s power consumption will be more than 600W. It has a cooling solution which supports 65W TDP. Minisforum has stated that the system with its baseline specs will feature both SFF/ATX PSUs with 120W power consumption and can be scaled up to 1000W depending on the configuration you select. The platform will be based on the B550 chipset and supports PCIe 4.0 SSD storage. The power will be provided by a 120W Gallium Nitride adapter supporting an ATX (SFX) power supply for a 12V (only) connection. Some of the Minisforum B550 Mini PC features are listed below: The motherboard is exclusively customizable DIY support； ATX or SFX power supply can power both the mini pc and graphics card separately It has good cooling performance and supports a 65W TDP CPU in quiet condition; PCIe3.0 X16 connector(*To use this function, you need to use the supporting docking board) 4K video, enough for office use, plus all configurations come with a free expansion dock to support regular discrete graphics, fast rendering, accelerated editing, and large games There's no word on pricing or availability on the Minisforum B550 Mini PC but the base configuration should land in around $899 to $999 US. Users will have to purchase the CPU, GPU, PSU, and storage themselves. Expect Minisforum to share more information on their AMD-powered Mini PC soon!
