Careful with that. Mining is 100% GPU 24/7. Even the new mining oriented Radeon cards coming out only have a 3 month warranty because they know the GPUs will be tortured. I expect once this craze is over to see a ton of cards dumped on eBay and go for pretty cheap, but I would avoid them for...

I fiinally got to pump up project cars and it was great. I have a wheel and pedals I plan to connect this weekend and really give me and the kids some fun. I'm loving oculus!! Sensor problems appear like frame rate issues I have found. I got the Oculus with a third camera and outside of a...

This made me lolz. In every joke there is some truth. :)

I wondered about that myself, and I'm sure if I used a 4k option I would notice it going back to the oculus. However, I've used a VIVE and now have an Oculus and I don't notice the SDE at all in games. You're too busy having fun focusing on the game itself and not so much the resolution, but...

geez. People have lost their minds. Nice sell for you though. Did you get anything else?

In my case, I heard a distinct difference between the onboard audio from my MSI Z77 GD 65 board, and the Dell T3500 I'm using as a temp system. Same speakers and amp (receiver), but the onboard DAC was clearly..not as clear lol. I mean, the first time I turned it on and listened I wasn't...

Yeah, it works great! I do see a difference, especially in racing games. The price difference between a 980 TI and 1070 is too much to justify over a little frame rate niggle. I mean I was using a 480 for cripes sake. This is MUCH better. Because the 980 TI is higher than the min...

I had an RX 480 4GB card in my VR machine until this past weekend when I sold it for $350 on ebay. That's nuts considering I only paid $130 after rebate from Newegg in December. I, in turn, picked up an EVGA 980 TI SC (with 1 1/2 yr warranty left) or $311. A bit higher than some have gone on...

I use a gtx 280. I'm about to have to use it now since I'm borrowing my daughters 7850 and plan to give it back. I'm still looking for a new card. Anybody have a 780 Ti or similar they want to sell?

Well, that makes sense then based on your reasoning. Right now I think a DAC is the best upgrade. I could be wrong, but I think it will be. when I do my zen 2 build next year I will possibly consider upgrading the sound system altogether. It won't be more than a 2.1 system though. I don't...

"Entry level" ? Sorry, I disagree. I could agree they are mid-ranged, but still not entry level. Especially being pushed on this Denon. It really just depends on the price category. For PC speakers, they are high end. As stand alone speakers, they are mid level or maybe even lower mid level...

My speakers are still fantastic. It's hard to beat those Klipsch Pro Medias without getting into more high-end home theater systems. I've had those for like 15+ years. The receiver could be a weak point possibly, but finding a decent price on something that does 4ohm and sub out is pretty...

The Denon I have is DRA-395. How does the DAC in that compare to these external ones?

I currently use the built in audio on the OEM Dell 1366 board I have. It was noticeably less in quality than the MSI z77 board I was using until that system moved to my living room for VR. I am really wanting to get back into more high end audio, so I have been looking at sound cards and...

My sub messed up and I tried to fix it, but to no avail. I still have the 4 satellites and I use two of them right now connected to a Denon stereo receiver that can handle 4-ohm speakers. Still sound fantastic! These pareid with a sound blaster Audigy back in the day was pure magic. I think...

So, amid this ridiculous AMD gold rush, I sold my RX 480 4GB 6-month-old card for $350. I only paid $130 new for it after rebate from Newegg. Crazy! In turn, I purchased a 980 TI Superclock for 311 shipped. So, that's like getting a 980 TI SC for $130. :) It arrives tomorrow. Is there...

I have the board from a Dell T3500 with a W3670 I picked up for $40 off ebay a few months back and 8gb of ram. I've recently put it in my 4u rack mount server case and I've been thinking of investing a bit more into it to give a more longer (2-3 yr) system. I have an AMD 7850 1GB card fill-in...

I'm not done with Ultrawide yet. As mentioned above I picked the bottom of the barrel, and I knew that going in. I was hoping it wouldn't be a problem, but I work with two 21" monitors on my job and they are angled. My previous setup at home consisted of a 32 " tv and 22" 16:10 monitor and...

Right, but based on people's comments and reviews it was "AMAZAZING!" I guess they had much smaller screens before moving to it. I mean, it is a nice monitor. The picture is good, but without the sides being angled like I had with my dual monitors it feels weird like I'm having to work harder...

So I finally got a 34" ultrawide. I went for the one Newegg had that was refurbished and discounted through eBay. Just $239, but no freesync. Here are my thoughts. The resolution at 1080p is fine with me. Looks very clear compared to my 1080p 32" Samsung HDTV I was using. The ultrawide is...

Sources? You are asking me to ignore multiple news sites and trust an anonymous forum member. Besides, I am not arguing who was in charge. I'm stating whoever was in charge wasn't enough at AMD.

My point was they had hired the man on to work on Zen and the previous Athlon. I guess news articles could have it wrong, but I read several from many reputable sources that made it clear he was hired to work on it. Nobody else was really mentioned as far as bringing people into work on Zen...

I wasn't sure where to post this, but go to O'Reilly Auto parts website and put in "121G" in the search. I've always wanted one of those!

AMD is back in the race, and I'm very happy as a long time AMD fan. I had a Barton 2500, and before that an athlon 1ghz. I remember back when the Athlon was far better than the higher clocked intel. I used a Duron as well. Good times! But you know what troubles me? They had to have the...

Can someone do a few before and after benchmarks? I would like to see if this makes a difference in anything outside of compatibilities.

I'm getting a higher end card soon. I have 8gb system ram and thought about doubling that if needed. You think more than 8gb is needed?

Wow....was it really that long ago? My first real PC gaming experience (I don't count the Tandy with Mega man lol) was on a Celeron 500 and Voodoo 3 3500. Half life, Unreal, and counter strike beta. And Napster when downloading mp3s was a thing. My brother had that system built. For those...

I understand the desire to see pure benchmarked results, however, in the real world you will only ever have one of them at your house. It's like buying a tv. Sure, there are plenty of higher priced TVs than the one you are likely getting that have a better picture and more features. However...

my i5 system with a 480 is smooth in most Vr designed games. Games not meant for Vr like Readout but have been added to support it seem to kill the fps. I'm told project cars is like That too. I also have 3 cameras for 360. I never have trouble with it losing sight.

I'm not getting picky. This is just going to fill in the gap between now and birthday in Oct or First of next year if ryzen hasn't worked out the kinks. Right away, I can tell the difference in audio though. This integrated audio sucks compared to the MSI board I have in my ivy bridge system...

I don't want to put much into this, and the x5687 was around $70 cheapest. I found a W3670 for $43 shipped, so I got one. I also have a Freezer pro 7 rev 2 laying around. That should be fine, and this is going to carry me over until I build a ryzen system later this year, or zen 2 next year...

I have been flip flopping myself due to so many options. I keep wondering how will the performance be of a Ryzen 7 once the little issues are ironed out(we've seen it has some serious potential even in gaming if settings are right). I also wonder if I am looking at a 5-7yr build if the extra...

For what it is worth I found a Xeon E5-1660 V4 on ebay for 375 from China. Seller seems legit. That is the same chip as the 6900k, and from what reading I found it is also unlocked. I Considered it, but It would be a waste for me even at that price. I am going to just go with Ryzen most...

Something to do with the power draw difference and where they had to place the sensor.

According to a report I found, "In the short term, users of the AMD Ryzen™ 1700X and 1800X can simply subtract 20°C to determine the true junction temperature of their processor." https://www.kotaku.com.au/2017/03/amds-ryzen-cpus-arent-running-as-hot-as-they-say-they-are/ Interesting...

I played VR on a Vive using an i5-2500k stock and a rented 1070 (<- LOL My friend bought one while visiting from out west for Christmas, but took it back when he left. It was to show his vive on his dads pc). I played Valves The Lab, and I played Brookhaven. Both very very good, and so far so...

Ok, so here is my situation. I jumped on a deal for an RX 480 4GB that was 145AR and came with Doom that I plan to sell for another 15-20$, meaning I got an RX 480 dirt cheap. It just so happened the Rift dropped $200 a day later. I ordered the RIft and LOVE IT, as do my kids. After doing...
