    AMD Zen Performance Preview

    Dannotech, your program does not show what instructions are being using in the processor for the MIPS calculations when a program is running like that demo. Is it using SSE1, 2, 3, or 4; X87, MMX, AVX1 or 2? Maybe also add support for integer MIPS calculations too instead of just floating point...

    Let's Talk about Fairly Testing GPU Performance R.E. Warming Up GPUs

    Apparently no one bothered to properly comprehend my bullet points. If the benchmark software STRICTLY follows the coding guides as outlined for DirectX and OpenGL, then IT IS NOT giving any architecture an advantage over the other. Both Nvidia and AMD design their hardware and build up the...

    Let's Talk about Fairly Testing GPU Performance R.E. Warming Up GPUs

    I disagree with you, Brent. Here is how ALL review sites should do FAIR reviews. No benchmark or "measurement" tools can be used that is made by a specific video card vendor such as FCAT tools as an example unless open source. ALL benchmark software MUST be open source so that any...

    HardOCP and other review sites PSU reviews are wrong....

    What did you expect with 15 to 17 arc welders running? Those are reactive components!! Usually in industrial manufacturing plants there is a capacitor bank to keep power factor as close to unity as possible. Especially when you got lots of 3-phase AC induction motors running. I say that power...

    HardOCP and other review sites PSU reviews are wrong....

    Well, I got up to $73,560.89 to spend for my home electronics lab. Personally, I use the Rigol DS2102 as my scope of choice and I use the Cal Test CT3688 active differential probe when characterizing noise and ripple figures for power supplies. About $2900 of gear alone. I cannot tell you review...

    I'll have a Rigol DS1102E 100MHz Digital Oscilloscope that I can send to you guys, paid for by me. This scope can store waveforms to usb and has 20 Mhz bandwidth limit function. Also, if you cannot get the differential probe that was specified or equivalent, then you can use the subtract...

    HardOCP and other review sites PSU reviews are wrong....

    Did they use a differential probe when they did their comparison? Nope! So you are saying that the ATX specification committee can get away with specifying a 250 Khz bandwidth scope? Maybe we should hire you as a consultant so that you can save the manufactures of power supplies a couple of...

    HardOCP and other review sites PSU reviews are wrong....

    I beg to differ, at 250 Khz bandwidth, that scope will miss the majority of the noise and ripple characteristics of the power supply. It is industry standard to have an oscilloscope set to 20 Mhz bandwidth limit when specifying ripple and noise of a power supply, but that Stingray USB scope is...

    HardOCP and other review sites PSU reviews are wrong....

    I am a bit disappointed with all these review sites that are doing power supply testing for the noise and ripple figure because ALL OF THEM ARE DOING IT WRONG!!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek: When measuring for noise and ripple of a power supply, the following should be considered: Take into account...

    How AMD's Mantle Makes Games Better

    Did you bother to read how many units that was in that one scene (6200)? Or how about the fact that over 20,000 batch calls are being dispatched. I guess you think in your delusional world that an Nvidia card using DirectX would somehow match this. LOL. In DirectX you cannot even do 20,000 batch...

    Miners! Causing R290 R290X to be Overpriced

    There is a reason I recently bought 10,000 shares of AMD stock and why I am betting $5 against every member on here. But I still do not believe what I saw 100% because it could have been rigged benchmarks. Need to see what the consumer actually gets, hence the reason everyone should just hold...

    Miners! Causing R290 R290X to be Overpriced

    I say instead of listening to all the retards that say get Nvidia, just do the SMART thing by doing the wait and see approach. DO NOT buy ANY video card from Nvidia or AMD until mantle performance is shown. Nothing can be more painful than to see mantle make AMD cards perform so well, but you...

    Slight Buyers Remorse (from 780 to 290)

    Sigh:rolleyes:......the reason some of you are having issues with AMD cards is because you are not using an adequate power supply. You MUST use a 750 watt or higher power supply. AMD cards are known power hogs that need a very stable 12 volt rail or they will act up with artifacts or black...
