Nvidia kills GeForce Experience, Nvidia App 1.0 goes live
No login required, faster, new features
What just happened? GeForce Experience is dead – long live the Nvidia App! Starting today, Nvidia is rolling out version 1.0 of the Nvidia App, officially bringing it out of beta.

"Spending more on a gaming CPU is often pointless"
Facepalm: It's fair to say that the UserBenchmark website does not have the best reputation among PC hardware fans. It seems to have a particular dislike of AMD, as illustrated by the recent review of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. The CPU has been so successful that it's sold out in most places, but UserBenchmark claims this is merely the result of AMD's aggressive marketing rather than real-world performance, and suggests that you buy an Intel i5-13600K instead.
