    Nintendo Discontinues the NES Classic Edition

    They're clearly designing edition 2, which locks down the drive and adds an e-store for all those games that aren't on it yet.

    Let RX 580 Overclocking hype train begin.. LOL

    nVidia has continued scaling their computing ability, and demonstrated that their cards have broad AI applications, including in driverless cars. You can sell the $500 card for $2000 when you put it in a car. Their potential market has grown tremendously, and profit per sale as well. VR...

    Im stuck with Freesync and it sucks....suggestions?

    You have three options: 1) Wait. This might suck, but whatever. That extra feature will just have to remain off for a little bit. This will save the most money. 2) Switch to nVidia. A fine option, they make great hardware. You can start with a 1070 for the performance, and decide whether...

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    You had the Samsung. Did the PWM bother you? If yes, then you shouldn't get the Samsung, there's no point in buying something you'll be unhappy with.

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

    I think the power envelope on the Nano is a bigger deal than the thermals for throttling, but then again that fan gets awfully loud. The reason you'd test on an open test bed is that it makes things like case airflow moot. A tester could easily bias the results by laying it out so that...

    R9 Nano Review Thread

    How long did it take you to find the cherry tree? From the reviews I've seen, I'm not impressed. I expected the power savings to be much, much higher to justify the price. And this is from a guy that thought this card might have a market for corporate/compute loads (which hold up well, but...

    AMD, Roy Taylor, the Nano, and the Press @ [H]

    I think there's one clear bottom line. At the end of the day, AMD looks a lot worse for this whole incident than a negative review would look. It's just dumb to pick favorites, especially when you pick against people who will call you out on it.

    AMD creates graphics-focused Radeon Technologies Group, taps Raja Koduri for GPU czar

    There aren't many silicon node shrinks left, but that's why there is so much focus on new circuit designs (i.e. XPoint/memristors/etc.), photonics, nanotubes, quantum computing, etc. When you get close to the size of an atom in your circuits, you all of a sudden open up a lot of interesting...

    The directX 12 conspiracy

    "Destroy" isn't a valid description of the comparison between NV and AMD this generation. The footing is fairly close, but NV has the upper hand at the highest price bracket. AMD is competitive across the lineup, and arguably wins on performance per dollar everywhere except for single-card...

    AMD Not providing R9 Nano samples to several sites.

    I wonder and wonder who this card is for. My suggestions of prosumer markets (existing hardware limits, for acceleration of Photoshop and the like) fell flat, as did my suggestion that it should be a server compute card, where they actually care about performance per watt and would value the...

    AMD Radeon R9 Nano Video Card PAPER Launch @ [H]

    Possible actual reasons for refusing [H] a card that DON'T involve a conspiracy: - This is not an overclocker's card, it is in fact an underclocked card compared to the Fury X. - It should be very, very easy to underclock a Fury X to speculate on Nano's performance. Why hasn't anyone put...

    HBM death nail? GDDR5X and 8Mb chips sampling

    HBM isn't just a better RAM technology. It's a platform-level technology for AMD for both their GPU and their APU business. I wouldn't be surprised if you saw AMD selling HBM-equipped APU interposers with their next generation to speed up most workloads. It's like their Crystalwell. Oh, and...

    Hawaii matching Maxwell 2?? What's happening under Ashes of the Singularity?

    It's very possible (even likely) that nvidia does something with their drivers before any games are significantly affected to mitigate or eliminate the problem. We're talking about a driver that has literally zero games available for it.

    Worst time to try and solve an ongoing issue, advice?

    Have you tried underclocking? It's not an ideal solution in terms of performance, but it may let you survive the upgrade bug until VR becomes a thing.
