    Microsoft Introduces DirectX Raytracing

    Amazing. I remember running a ray tracing program on my Commodore Amiga 1000 in 1986, and it would take 2-3 hours to render a single 640x400 image. Now, we may FINALLY get to see real time, >30FPS ray traced graphics. Well, it only took about 32 years. :)

    GeForce Partner Program Impacts Consumer Choice

    Kudos to Kyle and HardOCP. Once again, they blaze the trail on a story that needs to be broken wide open. I've been reading and commenting on the [H] since the turn of the century, and it's stories like this that keep me coming back. Good luck with this, Kyle!

    AMD Q317 Results CEO Prepared Remarks

    AMD makes 16 core/32 thread Threadripper CPUs out of 2 Ryzen dies. Ryzen dies have over 90% yield rate. Intel has to make their competing Skylake X chips out of large, monolithic dies, which absolutely don't have >90% yields. This yield advantage is even more extreme for Epyc, where AMD makes 32...

    Intel Coffee Lake Core i5-8600K vs 7600K at 5GHz Review @ [H]

    Good luck finding a 'cheapo' motherboard for Coffee Lake. Might be into next year before they're available.

    Radeon RX Vega 64 vs Radeon R9 Fury X Clock for Clock @ [H]

    Thanks for this analysis, Kyle. I'm wondering, is it possible to take a Vega 56 or 64 and disable some shaders to see what the optimal clock speed/shader count is? I would imagine that if you had, say, a Vega 32, but with the same power headroom as the Vega 64 (as we've seen with the Vega 56...

    The Top 5 Best Overclocking CPUs of All Time @ [H]

    I agree with the Celeron 300a being #1 for pure overclockability, without exotic cooling. I had a Malaysian 300a that did the 300 --> 450MHz jump with just the multiplier change. The Costa Rican 300a's either didn't post at all, or needed additional voltage to hit 450MHz. I was building PCs for...

    AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 Video Card Review @ [H]

    Even though nVidia has 70% of the PC gaming market, they're the smaller company when it comes to the overall x86 gaming picture. Don't forget that AMD's Radeon graphics power the PS/4, PS/4 Pro, XBox One, XBox One X and XBox Scorpio. Radeons actually command >75% of the x86 gaming market, and...

    Sony Will Start Pressing Vinyl Records after 28-Year Hiatus

    I think this is a good thing. There are differences in sound between a vinyl record and a digital reproduction. It's hard to quantify, but really, I like both. I love the romantic charm of putting on a record for my wife, and the convenience of carrying around thousands of songs on a digital...

    Post your Ryzen serial#, RAM, motherboard for O/Cing database

    So I've just confirmed that I can run my RAM at 3200MHz with a 2nd Ryzen 7 1700, using the same Asus Crosshair VI board and G.Skill Trident Z 3200 CL14 RAM. The integrated memory controller on Ryzen does indeed affect whether you can run memory at a given speed, as well as the AGESA bios...

    id Software on AMD Ryzen

    Thanks for this leading-edge reporting, Kyle. Exactly the reason I always come to HardOCP for the bleeding edge in tech news.

    Post your Ryzen serial#, RAM, motherboard for O/Cing database

    Kindly post your Ryzen CPU serial#, place of manufacture (there are Malaysian and Chinese-made Ryzens), motherboard make/model and bios rev. It's possible that with enough of a database, we might start to see some patterns in terms of max memory speeds based on serial# (batch), country of...

    Post your Ryzen memory speeds!

    Hi, yes, I've tried boosting the 'initial RAM voltage' also, to 1.45v, and no dice. It does help if you post if you're right on the edge of stability (say, within 20-40MHz), but like I said, no setting allows me to boot this 3600 and 3200-rated G.Skill B-die Samsung DDR4 memory at the DOCP...

    Post your Ryzen memory speeds!

    Basically, fastest memory speed I can get is 3147.2MHz using the BLCK multiplier, but this is not stable. Fastest stable memory speed I've been able to get (basically, I can run handbrake to encode h265 in software mode without a crash) is 3080MHz, also using the BLCK multiplier. Relevant bios...

    Asrock x370 Taichi or Asus X370 ROG

    As far as I'm concerned, built-in wifi is about the most superfluous feature you can put on a motherboard. You won't use it for gaming, which is what most cutting edge, X370 overclock-capable motherboards are built for, and you can add wifi with a $20 USB thumb device. I would MUCH rather the...
