Hardly. I work in IT so I am very familiar with Linux. It is shit for anything besides tasks like server administration. This is certainly not an operating system for leisurely activities like playing video games.
I would never be insane enough to try and bring that operating system into my...
Oh ffs. Now I get it. Stupid ASRock.
This was almost the perfect Z97 motherboard too. Now I have two useless ports when they could've just left it at a 10 SATA port configuration like the Z87 Professional.
Guess I'll go throw two of these hard drives into the basement server.
So I had a ASRock Z87 Professional motherboard which had 10 SATA ports on it that unfortunately just shit the bed.
Finding a replacement Z87 was too difficult so I replaced it with a Z97 Professional.
Problem is, I was running ten hard drives in my machine using all 10 SATA ports on the...
AMD really should have used GDDR5 instead of HBM.
8 GB of GDDR5 instead of 4 GB of HBM would have made the product very competitive against the 980 Ti.
Just goes to show how poor AMD's engineering is these days.
SLI usually works when it's needed; it's only stuff with low system requirements that doesn't have SLI support or the occasional AAA that is a poor port like Dead Rising 3 or Batman Arkham Knight.
It is as I expected. [H] confirms it. The 4 GB of VRAM on Fury X is crippling it:

This card should have had 8 GB of VRAM. If HBM couldn't handle it then AMD should have stuck with GDDR5 and held...
Dead Rising 3 is the other game I've played recently with no SLI even though it is a game that really needs it.
That said, SLI does work pretty well in almost every game I play that needs it. I mainly notice indie titles with lower system requirements don't support SLI; all the AAA's with high...
I love Gameworks; never had an issue with a game using these features and I consider it a positive when a title has them.
AMD fanboys are just in a perpetual state of butthurt that they don't get to enjoy these extra eye candies. If they don't get to enjoy them, they don't want anyone to enjoy...
1080p / 30 FPS.
This is "current gen gaming" according to WB.
That wasn't even "current gen gaming" six years ago! I was doing 1080p/60 FPS in every game back in 2009; now I've been doing 4K/60 FPS in every game for a year.
If you got this from a third party reseller or an Nvidia code and you can't get a Steam refund, at least write a negative review for it on its Steam page.
I want to see that 'Mostly Negative' turn into an 'Overwhelmingly Negative'
It runs like dogshit on 980 Ti's too.
But anyways, that's the entire purpose of Gameworks. To provide OPTIONAL impressive eye candy features that require significant GPU power so that people who spent $650+ on their graphics cards can actually enjoy them.
The only people I see getting butthurt...
WB has historically had excellent PC releases so I don't understand what happened to them this year.
Ubisoft did a better job with Assassin's Creed Unity.
