To be fair they are 'rails/runners' therefore 'its' tolerances aren't that influential to over-all product quality but 'half-arsed is still half-arsed' no matter where it is in the process...

I've been using an ioDrive2 (1.2TB) for games for a long long time.. also at one stage I was creating RAMDrive's (ImDisk Toolkit is free and easy) and copying my steam or Origin folder from the ioDrive2 into RAM with a startup script. Personally, I found there was very little reward for all the...

If they had offered a 'fair' HMD trade-in I'd have bitten their hand off.., what use is 'just' an old HMD to anybody? I'll wait for the complete package update and also see what Oculus brings out... then sell or more than likely give my old Vive setup to a friend or family member.

Your reading what you want to read.. 'systems' thats plural.. Throttling doesn't need to mean underperformance, just throttle down to the same limits the CPU's has currently but if thermals allow let all cores run free... and giving the user the 'option' if its too risky don't enable it - I...

The point of my argument is Intel CPU's have loads of headroom, they can unlock all the cores or more than just allowing turbo on a couple of cores as a 'sweetner'.. yeah I know they wont but they 'should'. If the user is a heavy user, folding or bitcoin, then the benefit might be slight with...

who seriously needs more than 1 core a turbo speed.. but for those that do and obviously operate in a datacenter where cooling isn't an issue, or have sufficient cooling -- why 'impose' a reduction of performance without offering a 'sweetener'... 'my' CPU is a drop in the ocean but of all the...

why doesn't Intel just release and force the patch and then also unlock turbo on 'all' cores as a goodwill measure, a kind of 'robbing Peter to pay Paul' situation, they 'usually' have loads of thermal scope to be able to do it. My E5-2695 V3 has turbo enabled on all 14 cores via UEFI hack...

Yes... "Experience the rich world of Dark Souls in upscaled 4K resolution with 60FPS when playing on a PlayStation 4 Pro system, Xbox One X, and PC," switch will be 1080p@30 fps.. I best get on with finishing Dark Souls 3, reinstalled my PC a few times and forgot they moved savefile to local...

So will people be happy that nvidia never releases their full GPU to 'consumers' -- they are only asking people who operate or sell to a datacenter and therefore have the resources to match to 'pay up'. imagine a 'cloud' type datacenter that charges per cpu/gpu cycle ... do you really think...

Maybe Threadripper's extra PCIE lanes would enable me to revive my failed project, i.e. 3rd M60 wasn't detected... Tiny Quadro 410 hiding in the shadows for 'graphics' :)

I've been running an E5-2695 v3 (14 cores) with a GTX1080ti Strix@2560x1440 and quite happy with it. I then noticed several articles regarding 'single core and mhz' is king for gaming, thinking I was selling my GPU short, I moved the GPU to my older system E5-1620@4600 I tried it on GTAV, Deus...

I'll be sticking with my E5 [email protected] (GPU = 980ti) - I'll go back to my original plan and buy one of those EK360 AIO coolers & GPU block for my 980ti and have a cooler 2017..

tall stories... I bet it'll use 3 times as much fuel to get there as in 1972.. or is that just the VW version.. :D

seriously.. the first an only time I've seen god given opportunity to promote ECC memory and they blame it one 'cosmic radiation' so why do 'enterprise pay twice as much for the same DIMM"? I've got 512GGB ECC and not half as convinced to use it as my 'backbone' as I was 2 minutes ago.. (I've...

I bought two 3DO's (Panasonic & Goldstar, switched as one was 'guaranteed' to support the M2 update - FZ-1 case still looks class'y imo) also bought Amiga CDTV & CD32 - all were abandoned quickly but that's life, cutting edge drives mainstream via lessons learned.. companies wouldn't take risks...
