    AMD Cuts Revenue Estimate, Citing Weak PC Sales

    For mobile a strong iGPU is a good thing. But desktop CPUs don't need a strong iGPU. GT1 is more than good enough for grandma's email, and no sane desktop-gamer uses integrated graphics. I have a feeling a lot of 2500K/3570K/4670K users would upgrade to Skylake if Intel offered an affordable...

    AMD Cuts Revenue Estimate, Citing Weak PC Sales

    That's what happens when your top CPU is an underperforming 3 year old 32nm dinosaur, that uses more than twice the power of the 14nm competition. Unfortunately, the result is Intel sitting on their butts for the past four years. No Intel, I don't want yet another quadcore with GT3 graphics...

    HardOCP looking into the 970 3.5GB issue?

    The worst thing is, even the 3.5GB is slower than previously advertised, 196GB/s. Every review at release told me it was 224GB/s. If I had known this back then, I might have waited and gone for the 980. Well, nvidia got my money now, so mission accomplished I guess. I'm still happy with my 970...

    Assassin's Creed Unity Performance Video Card Review @ [H]

    I pre-ordered Far Cry 4: Non-stop streaming-stutters. I learned my lesson. No more Ubisoft pre-orders for me. I will not buy the FC4 Season Pass now and AC4 will probably be my last AC unless I get confirmation from actual gamers that the new games run smoothly. But if Watchdogs still stutters...

    Which 970 Are You Buying?

    I really wanted the Gigabyte, but it's too long for my Define R4 case. If I buy, I will probably get the MSI Gaming.

    980 vs 970sli

    Not entirely true. In the Nvidia Control Panel you can edit a game's profile and let it use only one card. But it's not the same as disabling SLI. I noticed this in Fallout 3/NV. In SLI-mode, the water in puddles is broken. Even when the game runs on a single card. But after disabling SLI, the...

    Upcoming GTX880/980, fastest card, but what game we will play with it ?

    a 780 Ti is not really a requirement for nextgen games. Let's take a look at the numbers for Ryse: Son of Rome (specs for 1080p): The minimum requirements are very low for such a beautiful game. People who will buy this game don't play on Intel HD graphics. I doubt the hidden object crowd is...

    When was the last time you paid full price for a game?

    If we're talking about AAA-games: Thief. Because I loved the original games. Big mistake, two months later it was 50% off already. :mad: Nowadays, with all the pre-order bonus dlc and season pass crap I just wait until the full package is really cheap until I buy. Especially with Ubisoft...

    AMD Radeon R9 285 Announced

    Exactly. If you don't mind playing with reduced texture quality, then sure, 2GB is fine. But if you want the best textures, you do NOT want to be stuck with a 2GB card in 2015.

    AMD Radeon R9 285 Announced

    "just" swaps them out? The moment that happens a game becomes unplayable. Try playing Thief on a 2GB card with high or very high textures. Awful stutters every time you turn around!

    AMD Radeon R9 285 Announced

    You (conveniently) forget to mention price. Usually consumers win, by getting that similar performance for less money (6870 vs 5850). The problem is, with the 285 you have to pay more money. It reminds me of the 5770 launch. That card was more expensive than the 4870 at launch, but slightly...

    AMD Celebrating 30 Years of Graphics and Gaming Webcast

    No doubt the 4Gb version will cost a lot more than $ 249 though. Not always no. Especially if you game @1080p. But as long as the 280 is still available, I see no reason why anyone would pick the 285 over a card with more bandwidth.
