My last experience with maglev bearings was with the Enermax/Enlobal Marathon fan. That one had a nasty tonal resonance that all the mounting kung fu I tried couldn't get rid of, and had a grinding issue when mounted in a horizontal position. Hopefully whatever bearing design corsair has...

Every time I've run into input lag in games it was either too much post-processing by the TV or running the graphics settings too high for the video card to keep up on a PC. The graphics settings is usually the cuprit, you can get low but seemingly playable framerates except for the massive...

I think their Perf/w vs last gen is right about where you'd expect from a node shrink + minor tweaks to GCN. The issue is that it's drawing more than spec from the PCI-e slot instead of using the 6 pin connector to properly balance the load. Assuming there is a real problem here and not just...

Well if the device is full of bullet holes they can't very well hack it now can they?

I don't game much these days, what little I do is usually on an old 720p monitor or my 1080p projector. While the games I play most often are older and well suited to my 6570 it's just too slow to run the few newer games I like. As these are easy to run titles, Trine 2, Alien Isolation...

The lag he speaks of is the in-game pilot animations when the controls are manipulated, not the actual gameplay/head tracking

Have you tried using their website? I don't think amazon has anything to worry about.

Your write speeds sound very odd given that they're pros and writing speed isn't normally affected by that evo bug. Try running diskrefresh, manual trim, and re testing.

Running HD tune on my non-fixed 840 evo shows the same severe drop in performance. I've just settled on doing a monthly diskrefresh to keep it more or less viable until i upgrade to a different ssd.

For me it's not so much the new games as it is the freesync/gsync 120+ hz 1440p/4k monitors coming out this year needing faster hardware to run at native res. While I do game on a 1080p projector from time to time I'm kind of stuck on a 1280x720 26 inch tv since my last monitor died for general...

The transporters in startrek worked on a similar idea conceptually, they basically destroy the original, store that data in some technobabble "buffer" because it's too much data for the ships computers to handle, and then reassemble it wherever it's being transported too.

It also probably means they intend to add it as a new charge on your cable bill.

Actually had this happen on my otherwise rock solid 6570 a few days ago. I had the window open and it was around 50F inside the room, artifacting when mostly idle in desktop. Running Prime95/closing the window and letting it warm up and it went away.

Now this is a form of GPS tracking I can get behind.

My guess is 38 special with some cheap lead target ammo, similar in size to a 9mm but less power, and a much softer bullet that lost lots of energy from deformation , the glass probably took most of the bite out it.

That's probably because Cree (one of the big players in consumer and commercial LED lighting) is in Durham. They're prety widespread down here in FL, at least in traffic lights. I don't think LED street lighting has taken off quite yet.

Some of the rapid charging systems that work off of 240 can cost a few thousand dollars, but there are a few competing standards right now, I'm guessing this is just going to be an additional 240 circuit dedicated to car charging, in which case the added cost is almost nil.

The 840 Evo is basically the replacement for the old 840 non-pro, uses their newest controller, and has some neat tricks like the SLC nand buffer that masks the shortcomings of the drive's TLC in normal workloads. The 840 pro uses a faster and more expensive MLC flash but hasn't yet been...

It's google, they won't be satisfied until they street view in the antarctic.

I agree with the sentiment on both sides, downing aircraft over populated areas is a BAD idea, and quite frankly they shouldn't be up there to begin with, keep your damned spyplanes out of domestic airspace, thanks. Drones are rather handy tools for law enforcement though, and would be a big...

Regarding the noise... I wonder if they could hook up with rotosub and see what the two systems can do together.

With a 6950 unless you're running into obvious performance issues, probably not enough gain to justify the cost of the upgrade. That's a very personal issue though, everyones tolerance is different. The 9xxx amd and 8xx Nvidia cards should be a nice upgrade in that price range though.

With modern multicore CPU's, huge amounts of ram, and multicore aware operating systems, there's no problem leaving most everything in the background. Even some processes like folding have a low process priority so they don't decrease performance by much either even when left on. What can be...

If you do this with a dozen cards a day, every day, you could build up some kind of residue that might be toxic and transferable to food if you tried to cook in it. As a once a year thing it's probably as dangerous as the first time you assemble a computer from new parts with all that lovely...

I'm not sure they'd be much good beyond die stacking and other on-chip thermal problems. If you made a block of it the same size as a modern CPU cooler's heatpipes I'm betting the heatpipes conduct heat an order of magnitude better. Maybe they could coat the insides of the heatpipes with it??

Yep, clockspeed comparisons have been quite meaningless in comparing cpu's in quite some time. It'd be like judging a car engine solely by it's RPM range.

say it out loud "rice is" "crysis"

Yes, but it's probably not going to be an easy DIY job, there's alot of tuning that goes on to make a specific fan blade design work right. While CPU coolers are a great way to start off with this tech in PC's, I'm really wanting to see it in GPU applications that need those high RPM blower...

It's been a while since I've read up on the rotosub tech, but basically it uses a microphone to pick up the noise from the fan, then modulates the fan blades/motor with a special controller to produce an inverted sound signature that cancels the noise.

Not sure how much is rumor and how much is genuine, but the Xbox One will use 8 gigs of DDR3, while the PS4 is 8 gigs of DDR5. Current console ports (which, lets be honest is most of the big titles right now) are designed to run well on the least common denominator hardware, x1950 level...

Yes, that I do find offensive, there should always be an option in a game that lets you turn off notifications like that.

Achievements are really nothing more than a modernized "high score" system. I don't see a problem here.

I wouldn't mind a version that gave torque specs on all fasteners and told you where all the little vacuum lines and assorted tubery is supposed to go.

The market is going to shrink, probably to late 90's level. Basically enthusiasts, buisnesses, and students who need to type lots of stuff are going to have them, everyone else will get by with their phone/tablet devices and whatnot.

The absolute cheapest GPU I would try for gaming is the 6570. Anything slower than that and you may as well just use an APU.

That wasn't worded very well. I meant that with this new thing AMD is doing will they finally be able to do 3+3 = 6 instead of 3+3+3+..... = 3

Here's what I want to know. Does this mean crossfire systems will have "additive" memory? Like two 3 gig cards now = 6 GB or a "6 gigabyte" dual GPU card will have the full memory of all the card instead of divided up per GPU?

Oh for the love of.... I was REALLY happy when we got away from the curved screens necessitated by CRT monitors. Aside from very large 180 degree field of view stuff I'm not real keen on going back there.

Last I heard AMD is making the 8000 series OEM only, which is reflected in that chart on the top left. Other than the low end 384 shader parts it's basically rebadged 7xxx cores. I'm not sure if they're going to do add on 8000 series with updated cores with massive naming confusion or jump to...
