Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Again, you're just making radical assumptions based on the fact that Intel is "the king of silicon mass production". So what? Here's a credible reason why they can't: THEY HAVE NEVER MADE A DISCRETE GPU BEFORE. Do you think AMD and Nvidia just start from scratch each time they make a card? No...
This fix worked for this guy. Other people are saying it's a CPU problem, low CPU utilization causing the CPU to go into idle states, maybe disabling power states in the BIOS would fix it.
It performs like a top card should perform, but I can't say too much. Expect some weird news with the memory system, it's less like recent cards and more like good 'ol Nvidia big-die method.
Ref cooler isn't even close to finalized yet, dno bout that
The only issue is it would be monstrous (ie. Titan die size for GTX660 level performance), cost more than anything Intel has ever sold commercially, probably use a significant amount of power, and have to rely on (improving, but shitty) intel drivers. Slice is not the right architecture to make...
Just about a month from today there may be a big event that you will be very interested in :p
Specs are impressive, performance is based on clocks which aren't near final yet
Why would it be more efficient? Look at Iris vs standard HD 4600. They threw TONS more resources at it and got an "okay" performance boost, ~2x the cores for ~1.75x the performance? Even with the ESRAM cache. Intel tried to make a big GPU and that ended up turning into Xeon Phi. Their Slice...
New crossfire tech which may be showing up with Hawaii, was almost released with Bonaire but the tech isn't quite there yet. Uses some kind of PCI-E transfer, without additional hardware I think (considering Bonaire supports it), can transfer extremely large frames (4k etc.) without using...
No idea about price, but based on the Titan, it's performance is worth that... still don't think it will be >$700. If it's 20nm, could be possible as AMD will be using expensive risk production silicon, if it's 28nm (which is very unlikely for Hawaii), it will likely be much much less.
Eh, kind of close. Tahiti will end up in there somewhere, Curacao is mostly beefed Pitcairn, it's more of "new configs" (ie. different silicon) with the same arch rather than just straight up rebranding like GTX770.
That's the 5800k, not the 6800k. So the older fastest. Considering any Iris pro model costs $400+, I'm not sure why AMD should be concerned. For that price, you can have an i3/FX6300 and a 7950 and go around taking dumps on any iGP/APU.
TBH though, any game like Skyrim should be playing at extremely high FPS on any decent crossfire setup, and at 120+FPS even with runt frames it's still quite smooth...
XDMA will use PCI-E, no more need for crossfire straps.
