No, you don't need PCIe 4.0 for the new GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card

-

 NVIDIA addressed some concerns over whether the new 8K 60FPS capable GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card would have any issues in a PCIe 3.0 slot, given the card is PCIe 4.0 compatible.



The answer is no -- you will be fine, senior vice president of content and technology at NVIDIA, Tony Tamasi, explains on Reddit: "System performance is impacted by many factors and the impact varies between applications".

He continued: "The impact is typically less than a few percent going from a x16 PCIE 4.0 to x16 PCIE 3.0. CPU selection often has a larger impact on performance.We look forward to new platforms that can fully take advantage of Gen4 capabilities for potential performance increases".

If you thought you needed a new PSU, think again -- you should be fine says NVIDIA.

Photo by  Andrea Piacquadio  from  Pexels The joy of coding Python should be in seeing short, concise, readable classes that express a lot of action in a small amount of clear code — not in reams of trivial code that bores the reader to death. - Guido van Rossum Python  is one of the most used  programming languages  in the world, and that can be contributed to its  general-purpose nature , which makes it a suitable candidate for various domains in the industry. With Python, you can develop programs  not just for the web , but also for  desktop and command-line . Python can be suitable for programmers of varying skill levels, right from the students to  intermediate developers, to experts and professionals.  But every programming language requires constant learning, and its the same case with Python.

Asus' ROG brand is synonymous with gaming, so its design choices are often extravagant. That's a trait that continues with the ROG Phone 3: its got a RGB light-up rear logo and a design that's altogether similar to its predecessor, the ROG Phone 2. In the box the ROG Phone 3 includes a case with various openings to aid with cooling, plus a clip-on cooling fan to help out when things really step up a notch. Design AirTrigger 3 pressure-sensitive touch sensors Under screen fingerprint scanner Dimensions: 171 x 78 x 9.9mm Google Stadia (3 months free) RGB light-up rear logo Weight: 240g It's no small device, though, measuring just shy of 10mm thick at its largest, and weighing 240g.

Best GTA games, ranked from worst to best

From the unending sprawl of   GTA 5   to the neon lights of Vice City, the Grand Theft Auto series has blessed with some of the greatest games of the past 20 years. But which one is the best? We’ve driven down memory lane – knocking over pedestrians in the process – to come up with this list: the best GTA games ranked worst to best. We’re interested in the main GTA series, so we’re not ranking handheld games or expansions. We’re also excluding GTA 1 and 2: both are amazing in their own right, but they’re both top-down, PS1-era games that stand apart from later entries. GTA 3 was the one that established the 3D open-world formula we know and love, so we’re starting there. Essentially, we’re talking about the five main games, comprising GTA 3, GTA 4, GTA 5, San Andreas, and Vice City. It’s also worth saying that the “worst” game on this list (spoiler: it’s GTA 3) is still a masterpiece. It’s just that the others are even better. With those qualifications out the way, let’s crack...
