seeing that Softbank just reported a 60% increase in their quarterly profits, they probably had a pretty hefty short hedge that they profited on immensely to make up for the loss from their original 4 billion investment.

How do either company even figure out their revenue distribution of mining vs gaming? Like, how does NVIDIA know it generated $600 mil in crypto related sales? Do they just use a 3rd party app to see how many people use the cards (kinda like steam for gaming)? and then apply some...

A bit confused on the article. Hasn't Apple and Belkin been advertising a 2.1 cable that will do 8k for over a year now? Have they been mis-advertising it for this long and suckering people? I dont see anything in the specs of their cable that relates to what this article is saying. If...

Freesync can be used over hdmi 2.0. AMD showed it working back in 2016 and they have monitors listed in their support page that say its supported. I would think if nvidia really really wanted to they could update their drivers to support it also.

I'll probably just wait. I do 1440p just fine with my 980ti. No need to upgrade until I can get my hands on an AMD card that will get within the freesync range for 4k. hopefully the new year will bring it.

Thanks for the replies. I did some digging and 4k monitor she got me is a freesync one. so I will probably just wait till next year and see what amd has to offer. Hopefully they will have something that will get within the range. if not, maybe nvidia cards will come down in price and I...

Those buying used, do you mostly have good luck with your purchase? I'm kinda weary dropping 500-600 and have no refund. My wife informed me she was getting me a 4k display. Unfortunately I still game on a 980ti. I was just ooking at new egg and the new 1080 ti's are the same price as...

For what it's worth pcgamer already contacted Zotac and Zotac replied it was a mistake and that it will only support gddr5.

In the second pic, the lamp on the far wall is casting duplicate reflections on the floor right next to each other. That seem normal? Looks a little weird and not accurate for ray tracing I would think. I dont see another light source that would cause that. *edit. actually both the low...

im a T-Mobile subscriber. I've owned a s6, s7 and now and s9. I fly to Europe or Asia and back once every 2 months. I'm a bad boy and never turn airplane mode on. I play offline games on my phone when I'm awake. When I take off, after just a few minutes of taking off I have 0 service...

Dont see much issue with this. Being sponsored is being sponsored. If a crappy kitchen knife company is sponsoring me to sell their crappy kitchen knife then you better believe that, on video, this crappy knife is the very best tomato cutter there ever was!

what is the comparison of 1080p with rtx versus 4k without it in terms of visuals? Since developers are seeming to embrace it, will the lighting using rtx at 1080p make the overall scene visually more appealing than a hi 4k res visual would? I have seen demos of it but of course they...

This is probably their way of selling all of their overstock of the 1080s. lots of people will go buy 1080tis for 600-700 now on newegg. then once they are all gone, nvidia will screw all those people and drop the 2080ti price.

Pretty sure it's fake news and our human nature of wanting to believe bit everyone in the butt.

I'm not an intel fan by any means but I think they are getting a bad rap. This is all marketing plain and simple. Everyone jumping on 7nm will market that fact. We are on 7 they are still on 14nm..we win! Marketing doesnt care that intels 14nm is more refined, fine tuned and is on par...
