    Will Skylake be a big leap forward?

    This technology will increase FPS 10% at the cost of a good 50% extra processing lag, look at the example charts for when those frames actually get sent to the display. It's a terrible tradeoff.

    AMD to launch 390x in June @ Computex

    Right, but the 7970 ghz edition was the same silicon, anyone who bought a launch version could achieve the same clocks 90% of the time.

    What is the performance jump which triggers you to buy new card?

    Ideally I'd wait for a 200% improvement on benchmarks for under $500. My last upgrade was a 4850 to a 7970, and I think I'm going to be waiting for another generation or two to make the next jump.

    List all the GPUs you've ever owned

    I've been following a rule where I upgrade if I get 4x the performance for $500 or less, which is probably less on the [H] side of things, but still allows for some wiggle room. (I'm telling myself this so I don't switch tabs to amazon and order a 980 :p) My GPU History: 6800 GT ~ 2006 HD 4850...

    Does it matter if you get more than 60fps on a 60Hz monitor?

    In most 3d applications, you're not going to have a steady beat of fps. Heavy action cause it to dip, while staring at a wall could cause it to jump into the 200s. Increasing your average fps above 60 won't cause you to display more frames on a 60hz monitor, but it will reduce the amount of time...

    Intel Broadwell Architecture Preview

    This isn't completely marketing, other fabs are just building out FINFET production as Intel is about to release a revision of their design.

    Issues running games with VSYNC in Windows 8.1.

    I don't see anything odd about these results. If your average without vsync is just under 60, you're going to see a lot of chop as it swaps between 30 and 60 fps when you turn vsync on. Run some numbers with SLI disabled to see if frame pacing is a compounding factor.

    NVIDIA's GM204 & GM206 Maxwell Taped Out At 28nm?

    This isn't complicated. 1. Mantle Reduces Draw call overhead, this means we can make more calls at the same CPU cost. 2. At the same time, developers have been employing tricks to display more objects without performing a draw call for each one There is no good reason the optimizations from 2...

    Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth to support Mantle

    Look for compiled versions of the LUA resource files for Civ 5, it halves the wait time between turns, especially lategame.

    A10-7850K Performance Review

    Isn't the 45w A8 just a downclocked version of the 65w part? I wouldn't be too surprised if it wasn't clicking at exactly 45w for all workloads.

    A10-7850K Performance Review

    Look, it's been 4 years. That's practically forever in tech. The fact we're even comparing the Deneb core with Kaveri should be recognized as the sham it is.

    4K - 28" Dell P2815Q

    With any luck we'll see monitors driven by two display port connectors to reach 120hz, but that won't be cheap in terms of monitor or the hardware required to actually reach that refresh rate.

    crossfiring a 7970 with a 7950?

    Yes, you should try it and report back with results. People said it caused microstutter, but this was early in 2013 before the frame pacing drivers.

    R9 290x Delayed?

    Saying most people don't care about the high end is an understatement. Most people don't care about computer hardware at all. They're making purchases based entirely on what that high schooler on the Best Buy floor recommends. Having the top-end card does not matter to this market segment. Ask...

    Please suggest RAM for my AMD Phenom II 1055T (overclocking woes with current stick)

    Find an overclocking guide for the 1055T, since you're locked on the multiplier you will have to lower your ram's clock ratio and raise the FSB to compensate. This brings your motherboard components into play as well, so it is not going to be a smooth ride.
