    AMD Ryzen 9 5950X - predicting bottom price for previous gen

    Fair point. I was hoping the 5800x3d would undermine the price of the 5950x, but now I think it probably isolates it, unless I look at the used market. I suppose the upcoming Black Friday potential deals could be considered the low-water mark. If I don't see a drop then, I'll take $400 as the...

    AMD Ryzen 9 5950X - predicting bottom price for previous gen

    Keeping this relevant to the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X: Predict price bottom on previous gen flagship CPU (new, commercial purchase) to eek out the last bit of use on a system? Any tips? Anecdotes from previous flagships? Context: I have an x570 mobo and ddr4 underutilized, aka unused, and debating if...

    NVIDIA NDA & HardOCP - POLL

    It's too soon. It sucks that NDAs are sold to review sites (in the form of free hardware). You guys are always great at linking reputable sites and I would continue to do that and offer commentary until your reviews can come out. Let the NDA simmer for a while and see if it still looks...

    Lucky Draw - SilverStone ST80F-TI 800W Power Supply

    I have a Nexus 5X with USB-C and won't buy a smartphone without it now. In that same vein, USB-C will be a requirement for any new motherboard (even if not fully featured). BTW: June 07, 2016, I had to search a bit to find that review (was curious about PSU review rate, good job!)...

    Apple Shares Drop Below $100 For First Time Since August

    School me. Haven't smartphones and laptops reached a bit of a market peak? Apple has always achieved a subjective better performance, but now? Besides Iauto, what industry-commanding-presence can they hope to penetrate? I'm not saying this is the downfall of Apple. I'm seeing a ceiling.

    Seasonic Snow Silent 750W PSU LUCKY DRAW!

    Seasonic's unimpeachable performance, consistency in the market, and attention to detail make their power supplies the standard for comparison and my choice where power supplies are now becoming a factor for noise, heat, and efficiency when building computers.

    Moving to Real World Benchmarks in SSD Reviews @ [H]

    Often, when doing time comparisons, reviewers like to conclude with "effectively" no difference. I am interested at every tiny choke-point and anomaly. Please don't average these out, or gloss over them, instead try to exploit these differences and give an analogous comparison. While...

    Former Apple Security Engineer To Apple: 'Fix Your Sh-t'

    To clarify, your concern is that him voicing his lack of concern does not diminish the concern he points out is the concern of others and is unrepresentative of those that should be concerned, thereby, him being unconcerned has undermined the magnitude of the concern which should concern him...

    Shell Shocker M500 240GB $129.99 @ egg (1pm Pacific)

    From TD, which I have a b&m in my state, with shipping and tax it comes to $166.93 less $40 in MIR so 126.93. So, if Newegg doesn't tax in your area, you're at a $3.03 more expense for no MIR.

    Apple Store Helping To Enforce "Candy" Trademark?

    I'm not sure why people are up in arms over this. King.com trademarked their brand name. Would you guys get pissed if Footlocker removed Speedy Nike Shoes branded shoes from their stocks? From what the article says, only one guy got his app pulled for having just Candy in the name and two...

    WoW on slower laptop plays better than new desktop?

    I don't know much about WoW (long time ago), but I believe normal settings are generally cpu dependent. Guessing your laptop to be a i7-3720QM and your desktop to have an i7-2600k, I would wager that your turbo frequencies are pretty close at 3.6/3.8 respectively. If you have have V-sync...

    Dell’s Venue 8 Pro tablet for $99 at Microsoft Stores on Monday

    I've never participated in a mad rush door buster. How does this work at a mall? Do a bunch of people stand at the doors of the mall and then sprint to the location when the doors open, or what?

    New Credit Card Fees Kick in Sunday

    1) Competition compels companies to have credit cards. 2) Cherry picking how you get fucked doesn't make it more palatable. I'm not saying the entire cc institution is fucking people, but ccc have discriminated against small business and small transactions. Merchants didn't get...

    Newegg RMA Technicians Are Breaking My Returns

    2012 AMD and NVIDIA Driver Performance Summary Review @ [H]

    I think this article would have benefited from game dev insights about your results. While the article achieved it's goal, I find the conclusion lackluster. Unappreciated timing of performance boosts were mentioned, but only hands wrung over it. It feels like amd and Nvidia are releasing...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Video Card Review @ [H]

    The Ferrari and corvette references were nice. In retrospect, I think they would have helped a bunch in the article, or even now as a subnote to the article. I think people are under appreciating the implications of Nvidia's response. I would rather have the company putting something out...
