KMS will probably still work

the nvidia anaglyph renderers worked well for me

I don't understand why people would ever turn off their PCs. I run my PC 24/7, and my total electricity costs are about $1.50 per day.

The obvious issue is still across all those processors, not a single one boosts higher than 5Ghz

appears to be 154,999 Yen, or $1,167.47 USD

990 pro

100% at true 40" 4K i.e. 39.5"

The issue is that the workstation parts will most likely have relatively low default clocks, not even boosting to 5ghz, just like the low clocks you get on true Xeons. In the past HEDT used to have pretty competitve clocks compared to the desktop ones...

I'm expecting we will hear more about release dates at CES. #1 use case for me is just rar extraction and heavy parallel sustained read/writes for large files. I also work on terabyte-scale databases that could benefit.

probably worth waiting a month after release to hear about what kind of issues people report on forums. many things don't show up in reviews.

probably price discrimination, people that buy 5K are usually professionals as almost all consumers will prefer 4K as most content is 4K.

hopefully this price drop will stay in place longer-term, as obviously these are having trouble selling. It seems like the pricing is set at 50 or 25 over the expected prices non-X SKUs.

they're going to have to overprice the 50 series to get rid of the surplus of 40 series cards

benchmarks already showed it's not meaningfully better than a 3080 with a small overclock

It's a loss leader strategy - they will take a loss or near-zero profit on a deal on a CPU, and expect to make a profit from that person buying other parts for the rest of their build. There is no other chain of stores in the US that have a full stock of all types of computer parts - Best Buy...

The CPUs are probably $50-100 overpriced relative to raptor lake across the product stack based on current assumptions. I think the x670 motherboards are priced fairly well given the high-end specs, and are as low as $260. DDR5 is expensive but prices are dropping quickly, as evidenced by...

In-store only - I'd pick one up if there were a Microcenter anywhere near me. But it sounds like Ryzen 7000 prices will probably fall as nobody is buying them.

you can run in 1080p on a 4k monitor, but you can't run 4k on a 1080p monitor

4090 $1599 4080 16GB $1199 4080 12GB $899 I don't think he even said the 4080 16GB price out loud, it was just on the slide LOL

PLP 43" 4K and two 25" 1920x1200 monitors

I'm most excited about the lowest-core count fishhawk falls, hopefully 10 or 12 cores, for a mixed workload of gaming and high-performance math compute. Of all the CPUs I've used, the 10-core broadwell was my favorite, whereas at 18-cores, the low clock speeds made the system feel sluggish.

not really, the lowest end HEDTs used to always be priced around $380

Not likely that there's anything you can do to fix it, but the effect may reduce over time.

The big.little architecture isn't suitable to the HEDT segment, as it's not good for running all-core parrellism, AVX, or for backwards compatibility.

Ti4600, playing Half Life or Unreal Tournament with that on my 21" CRT in 1600x1200 was perfection. Back then the idea of spending $400 on a graphics card was crazy.

40" VA 4k 144hz monitors with no PWM. I've tried 43" but i really prefer 40"

40" 4K Crossover 404K, about 6 years old. It has a lot of defects (dead pixels/dead vertical line/incorrect color bands, broken HDMI), but I don't want to stop using it until it dies as there is nothing this exact size on the market.

No, I am waiting for x699, even if it's a year+ until it comes out. I've always used HEDT and don't want heterogeneous cores, integrated graphics, or $1000 cpus that have pins.

windows scaling doesn't really work well in many programs. plus, many pictures on the internet have a size that targets a normal DPI.

Pentium 1 133mhz Pentium 3 500mhz Pentium 4 2ghz i7 920 i7 5820K

Vertical real-estate is most important, so 16:9 will be better than anything ultrawide.

no, but i doubt that power consumption will go very much over say 400w for GPU or CPU, ever. more likely power will stay at those levels and will decline only once some new non-silicon technology is released.

I am still running a 5820K at stock, with a 980Ti and 32GB RAM. I don't really feel any need for an upgrade now, but I expect to upgrade in the next year or so, once platforms move to DDR5, and i can get a 10-core running aroud 4ghz.

It has PWM. No PWM would be a requirement for me.

I still have a Crossover 404k as well, and work as a programmer. I've also used a Seiki 30hz 40" model, a Philips 43", and two dell 43"s. But i think the 404K is still the best monitor I've ever used. It developed some defects: a 120 pixel color band issue on light colors, and a permanent...
