SSDs: WTF?

SUPPORT US: Grab a GN Dice Kit on the store. E-Waste Inductor: https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/inductor-full-tabletop-mtg-dnd-premium-dice-set-7-piece-dice-wooden-box-token-card and Snowflake the Cat: https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/snowflake-full-tabletop-mtg-dnd-premium-dice-set-7-piece-dice-wooden-box-cat-card In this video, we dive deep into why SSD prices are skyrocketing, and why we think they'll get worse in the near-term. Similar to RAM (DRAM) prices for system memory, SSDs are now plotting an actually worse price increase trajectory by time vs spot price, and we expect contract prices will trail. Currently, data centers and "AI" are driving the demand for SSDs to be deployed in server solutions worldwide, which reduces consumer demand. At the same time, some SSD NAND suppliers are reducing their production capacity despite high demand.

Not a Waste of Sand: Ultra 7 270K Plus CPU Review & Benchmarks

SUPPORT OUR WORK! Get the Microslop T-Shirt https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/microslop-parody-t-shirt or our Wireframe V2 Mouse Mat! https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/gn-wireframe-v2-mouse-mat Intel's Ultra 7 270K Plus (270KP) is one of the most promising CPU launches we've seen in a long time, and has some similarities to the Ryzen 1000 and 2000 era of CPUs. The key difference is that Intel's platform is a dead-end, unfortunately, but from a performance standpoint, Intel is showing a lot of positive similarities. In this testing, we benchmark the Intel 270K Plus vs. the 250K Plus, AMD's X3D CPUs (including the 7800X3D, 5800X3D, and 9800X3D), and Intel's predecessors, like the 14700K. Intel's 270K Plus does particularly well in workloads like video editing in DaVinci Resolve and in our code compile test.

Intel Ultra 5 250K Plus CPU Review & Benchmarks: Gaming, Production, & Power Consumption

Sponsor: Montech HS01 Pro on Amazon https://geni.us/UYLeZn and HS02 Pro https://geni.us/ABM9fEB We're benchmarking Intel's new Arrow Lake Refresh Ultra 5 250K Plus CPU, including tests vs. the Intel 245K, AMD 9600X, 9700X, 9800X3D, 5800X3D, and more. Intel's 250K Plus CPU has an MSRP of $200 and release date of March 26th, 2026, with a reconfiguration of the cores and clocks compared to the Intel 245K CPU. Our benchmarks look at gaming performance, production performance in workloads like code compiling (testing the best CPUs for programmers), video editing and rendering, Photoshop, and more. We also briefly test power consumption. The 250K Plus is launching alongside the Intel Ultra 7 270K Plus, which we'll review in a separate video coming up.

Crimson Desert GPU Benchmarks, Bugs, Simulation Error Tests, & Intel Arc Gets Screwed

Sponsor: Arctic MX-7 Thermal Paste on Amazon https://geni.us/WbHJ Crimson Desert just launched. We tested the day 1 patch and launch version of Crimson Desert across 25 GPUs, 3 resolutions, all graphics presets, and also tested for simulation time error (alongside frametime spike issues and framerate). During the testing, we encountered numerous bugs across 3 test computers and 2 GPU vendors; Intel was immune to these bugs, which is because Intel Arc simply doesn't work at all for Crimson Desert. When GN emailed Intel, the company put together a statement and distributed it to all of the media to state that Pearl Abyss refused to grant the company early access. Crimson Desert bugs include crashing to desktop, hard system resets, all objects turning pink or yellow at times, game freezes without a crash, and silent settings reductions spread across both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. This does not appear to be a driver or computer issue, but rather a game issue. In these benchmarks, we look at the best GPUs for Crimson Desert and some of the preset settings optimizations and performance of the game. We used the latest public drivers for testing, which would be the game-ready drivers for both AMD and NVIDIA.

Future Proofing is no longer possible... here's why

Future-proofing your PC is basically dead. With rapid GPU launches, AI features, socket changes, and evolving game engines, today’s “top tier” becomes tomorrow’s midrange faster than ever.

I bought the RTX 5090 Lightning Z and I'm really disappointed... Here's why

The MSI RTX 5090 Lightning Z was supposed to be the ultimate halo card… but I’m honestly disappointed. In this video I break down why — from the voltage ceiling and power behavior to real-world benchmark scaling in 3DMark. For a card with this name and price tag, I expected more. Is it being held back by NVIDIA limits? Is the Lightning branding just marketing this time?
