    Alien Isolation Is Just The Latest NVIDIA-Only Linux Game

    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...

    What the hell is SATA Express and how do I connect a normal SATA drive to it?

    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.

    What the hell is SATA Express and how do I connect a normal SATA drive to it?

    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 responds to 4GB issue ...

    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.

    Will Crossfire/SLI ever be good?

    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.

    Why would AMD release a 4K video card without HDMI 2.0 and with 4 GB of VRAM

    It is as I expected. [H] confirms it. The 4 GB of VRAM on Fury X is crippling it: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2015/06/24/amd_radeon_r9_fury_x_video_card_review/6#.VYuDv9pFuUk This card should have had 8 GB of VRAM. If HBM couldn't handle it then AMD should have stuck with GDDR5 and held...

    Nvidia drivers are better? NOPE.

    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...

    Nvidia Game Don't Works Latest Victim. Batman Arkham Knight

    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...

    Batman: Arkham Knight

    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.

    Batman: Arkham Knight

    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.

The only people I see getting butthurt...

    Why would AMD release a 4K video card without HDMI 2.0 and with 4 GB of VRAM

    Actually, most people are ignorant as to what these features do but when you show them examples and poll them most will respond negatively to these features. And there are plenty of people who agree with me that a game can be considered "maxed out" with that motion blur/DoF/CA shit turned...

    Nope, they were maxed out. You can clearly see in the image quality menus all options set to maximum except for the retarded image-quality ruining options like "depth of field," "film grain," and "motion blur." OF COURSE those were disabled, they always should be disabled. I don't consider a...

    How many times do I have to repeat myself? 4K gaming is here, it's viable, and you can max out almost every game out there and maintain 60 fps. I post videos giving definitive proof of this and they are ignored by butthurt AMD fanboys.

    Why would AMD release a 4K video card without HDMI 2.0 and with 4 GB of VRAM

    You lack reading comprehension; that's what I'm getting here. The GTX 970's VRAM has never been acceptable for 4K gaming nor has it ever been acceptable as a 4K gaming card. The GTX 970 has never been considered by anyone as an acceptable solution for 4K gaming. The GTX 970 has always been a...

    Why would AMD release a 4K video card without HDMI 2.0 and with 4 GB of VRAM

    Too much input lag is a problem. Anything under 40ms is fine. So most televisions are fine as long as you turn on their game mode setting. But add an adapter that adds another 30ms on top of that and that is terrible and definitely noticeable.

    AMD R9 Fury X benchmarks leaked, Significantly Faster than the GTX 980Ti at 4K

    So Fury X is faster than 980 Ti at 4K, but the question is, does it also deliver a stutter-free performance with that 4 GB of VRAM? How does Fury X handle new textures having to be swapped in in the middle of gameplay because 4 GB cannot hold them all?

    GTX 980 Ti SLI Performance Videos

    I have been monitoring how games perform on my GTX 980 Ti SLI setup. Nothing too special about it; they're on reference coolers and not overclocked at the moment so there is legroom for even better performance. There are a lot of people under the impression that 4K is still some futuristic...

    No shit, Sherlock. You don't think we use this cancerous standard by choice, do you? If you want a display that wasn't designed for an ant (I.E. a TELEVISION), you need HDMI. Let me know when they start including DisplayPorts on reasonably sized displays and I'll be all in.

    Nvidia drivers are better? NOPE.

    Why would AMD release a 4K video card without HDMI 2.0 and with 4 GB of VRAM

    This isn't a "little detail." Calling a company's flagship GPU marketed for 4K with insufficient VRAM and the inability to output 4K @ 60 Hz a "little detail" is like calling a car that is missing its wheels a "minor issue."

    Fury X, R9 390X or Gtx 980 ti for 4k gaming?

    There are WAAAAY more 4K TVs than there are 4K TVs for ants (monitors). 4K monitor usage is the scenario that is a niche usage scenario. 4K TVs are the new standard for PC gaming displays. Releasing a new GPU without HDMI 2.0 on it is incredibly stupid.
