Based on this, it looks like in order to save the company, the gaming side of the graphics division had to be sacrificed. We are going to be seeing a high-end gaming card for quite a while.
I was looking into getting a freesync 2 HDR monitor. I don't know if there are any quality ones out. I've heard both good and bad about this to Samsung models but not sure if anything else is out there.
Is there anyone who has suggestions or maybe even first-hand experience?
Considering picking up the thermaltake tower 900 and if I do, there's some specific laser etching I want done on the windows.
However, I can't find a place where I can get the case along with the required laser etching in one go, so I was wondering if anyone knew of an aftermarket place that...
First, I think Kyle's Article here is required reading:

In particular, note the complaints from Engineers and how Polaris fell well short of what they intended it to be.
Now consider that Polaris is part of...

Next, here is a pic of everything up and in action:
I decided I want to sell off my Intel parts for Ryzen. As you can see, the ram is blue led and fades in and out. RAM has the limited lifetime warranty on it from GEIL. RAM: GEIL...
And yes, I realize I can always mod my case, but if I didn't want to do that, are the Deepcool Genome and some of the Thermaltake cases the only ones that have vertical GPU mounting supported out of the box in the case?

Causes of poor gaming relative to CPU performance of Ryzen:
1. Windows is load-balancing across CCXes. This means that a thread is being moved around on the CPU - which is normal - so that a single core isn't used more than others. On Ryzen, that needs to happen ONLY within a CCX...

That said, on April 4th Radeon RX 580 and Radeon RX 570 will be available for sale. A week later, on April 11th AMD will unveil its Radeon RX 560 and Radeon RX 550 series. All cards, except RX 550, are...
And I don't mean the "I want to believe!" that's followed the graphics cards for a while, but a real, legit, intelligent BUZZ for the upcoming release of these chips, with even reviewers getting HYPED.
I mean come on - Kyle saying "don't be a pussy and preorder" - he can spin it any way he...
http://wccftech.com/microsoft-introduces-pix-pc-dx-12/
Interesting note from the article - this is only for DX12, and only for 64bit apps.
Perhaps this is a clever way to "convince" (strong arm) developers into making games that are 64 bit and DX12?
And I wonder what performance video cards...

You have AMD and NVidia trying to out do each other with asinine launch announcements.
You have Polaris underperforming.
You have the Founders Edition fiasco

We got a fun one for you today folks. We’re going to be talking about how Nvidia got its name and its fascinating history in Roman mythology. In Latin, invidia is the sense of envy, an intense gaze associated with malice and the “evil eye”. Invidia is also the Roman name for the ancient Greek...

Reposting this (I was the original author) from reddit. It was a thought that occurred to me as I stupidly took a thread here off topic, and then used the ensuing vacation Kyle was nice enough to give me to do some digging on AMD, Raja, Arctic Islands conversion to Polaris and Vega, and put it...

Yes, the layer will be available in this repo. We will also be publishing two mGPU sample projects along with it – one using the layer and one not using the layer. We’re making some final tweaks and doing additional testing and plan to post it all soon.

AMD Radeon RX 490 | VideoCardz.com
Interesting if it ends up true. Consider also that on the eve of Polaris launch, Raja was focusing on Vega's milestone.
Also consider that this is coming in August:

Trying to find this on Google and having a hell of a time. I thought would be simple, but can't figure it out.

I believe this is from the same guy who posted the original 480 firestrike score.
At this point, shit feels bananas. I can't even take it seriously, but figured I'd bring it here anyway.

Just something I came across, that some enthusiast cases have room for dual PSUs.
My question I guess is why?
Is there an inherent enthusiast benefit to using 2 PSUs? What even supports that?
Totally clueless, so wondering if people more familiar than I with multiple PSU configurations can...

So, here is what I am looking into. I want to look into getting a freesync monitor to run off my Radeon 390. Currently I have a very nice IPS monitor, a Dell U2412M.
What that means to me is that I don't want something less than 24" as that is what I have now.
Also, since I game a lot, I...
It's something I've been thinking about since NVidia and AMD both seemingly are starting to back off of their multi-GPU solutions (unless it is on the same card).
Now, I know explicit multiadaptor doesn't work unless its coded for. However, could this become something that ends up being more...

Everyone (me included) was wondering if AMD is going to market Polaris 10 as R9 490 series. Should AMD decide to use Polaris 10 for 490 series, competitive performance to higher-end cards would be expected. Should AMD use P10 for 480...

Just something that I've been curious about.
I know that the x99a (and x99 before it) have oft been marketed as "enthusiast grade", but as a gamer, while the prospect of having the capacity of an overpowered behemoth of an x99 system tickles me, does it really make much of a difference?

Interesting. If nothing else, I'd say between this and Polaris 11, AMD is looking to take over much of the mobile market.

This appears to be the first game NOT dependent on DX11. VERY curious to see how it performs.
Seriously.
I saw a link to it in these forums, and while the maps are limited, if you ever wanted a modern UT, holy shit is this so far freaking fan-fucking-tastic!
It has been a long ass time since I played UT, but this brought me right back into it. And it looks GORGEOUS.
