    AMD Not providing R9 Nano samples to several sites.

    I would assume that this is just some childish attempt to drum up buzz about the card. "There's a super limited supply of this magical new thing, guys! It's so rare! Pre-order yours today!" No way is the supply so limited that they couldn't send some out to proper, respected reviewers. Artificial.

    PowerColor Announces Devil 13 Dual Core R9 390 16GB GDDR5

    There has been some talk of a Radeon R9 Fury X2, with two Fiji XT cores. That might be quite a lovely thing, especially if they keep the integrated watercooling from the Fury X, but increase it to the length of three fans instead of just the one.

    Thoughts on current lineup not supporting DX12?

    This is the healthiest attitude. Making logical, calculated spending choices is the smart thing to do. Fanboyism just ends up getting you emotionally invested in corporations, which is just sick. People tend to get so emotionally attached to their purchasing choices that they forget that the...

    Thoughts on this new 750 Ti for PhysX?

    I'm certainly getting one for PhysX.

    Is dedicated GPU for PhysX a necessity?

    I remember reading multiple tests on dedicated PhysX cards and they all seemed to give me the impression that a 560 Ti is what you needed in order to not have the dedicated card run behind and reduce your performance. Slowers cards, like a 275, sometimes caused reduced FPS and faster cards gave...

    GTX 680 - Time to upgrade?

    The truth is that most relatively modern cards are now fast enough to run 1080p/1200p at perfectly reasonable graphical fidelity. My 560ti will soon be three years old and it was just a mid-range card when it came out. I just keep the graphics quality low enough to get decent FPS. No game has...

    Whats next-GTX790 or Titan Ultra?

    The 290X does not concern me. The 280X is what I wish Nvidia would counter against. I'm not really all that exited about the class of 500+ euro cards. I care more about the 300 euro cards, that's what I am going to buy next. I hope Nvidia comes out with something better in this class. Right...

    X79 Raid Issue

    I also had a problem with my X79 board not seeing some hard drives. The way I managed to fix this was to insert some of the disks that came with the motherboard and install random drivers until the drives appeared. (I had to choose drivers at random because there were a bazillion SATA-related...

    Current X79 mobos and Ivy-E ?

    I haven't seen any official information, but I believe that Ivy will work just fine with current LGA2011 motherboards. Since Ivy Bridge-E will be on the same LGA2011 socket, I see no reason to expect them to require a new motherboard. Every hardware review and rumour site also seems to assume...

    HardOCP Readers Ask AMD Bulldozer Questions

    I just can't understand why a chip that is supposedly optimized for server workloads can be so power-hungry. Also, if multithreading is the focus here, why isn't Bulldozer much better than older 4-core or 6-core parts with its 8 fancy new cores. It just doesn't add up. If multithreading was the...

    ASUS ROG Rampage IV Extreme X79

    I hope this will fit in my Antec Nine Hundred Two. Looks sort of.... wide? Does anyone have any experience showing a fat board like this in a mid-tower chassis?

    Upgrade to SB now or wait for IB?

    Personally, I'm waiting for the LGA-2011 platform because I think it'll be around for longer than LGA-1155. And LGA-2011 will have longer legs under it - what I mean by that is that when 22nm processors do come out, the LGA-2011 versions will be a bit beefier. If we're lucky, we might end up...
