Is this the entry thread for the giveaway? I'd love to try this game out. Pick me! :p

And this is the crux of the problem. Intel has such market saturation with powerful CPUs that run 90% of people's applications at enjoyable levels that there's no need for them to push the envelope much further on CPU speed, or even core count. Most desktop PCs for home users only get replaced...

I should have been more specific. I was meaning Intel "mobile" chipsets. ASUS, for example, uses Intel mobile chips in their ZenFone line.

Well who in the smartphone manufacturing sector uses Intel chipsets exclusively? That should narrow the field considerably.

Well it looks like my current 1070Ti will be my last NVidia purchase

Man....if I hadn't been told that was a rendered scene I would have swore it was from the movie. :wideyed: Exciting times ahead in GPU rendering! :D

I'm in a holding pattern at the moment. I haven't ran an AMD chip since around 2001. Had a 900MHz (Thunderbird?) CPU and I could NOT keep that thing cool at all. Tried 3 different CPU coolers, 2 different motherboards and removed and re-seated the cooler countless times to make sure I was...

According to the specs on the NVidia site, the stock GPU clock is 1.7 GHz. They had it OC'd to 2.1GHz for the demo. Might also have been the boost clock too though. With the temps being what they were at around 65C there's probably some more headroom there. Also, the website shows that the...

I tried to order one from Newegg yesterday. I was F5'ing the page and they came in stock but it wouldn't let me order one without a combo, which is total BS because just two weeks ago I bought a motherboard and memory in preparation to redo my rig. So I got on live chat with their sales team...

If you live in the Minneapolis St. Paul area get to the local Micro Center NOW. They got 5 in today and I just got one.

I see what you did there! :rolleyes:

I've had a Auto Notify set up at Newegg since they were listed on the site and haven't gotten any notifications yet. Also, my local MC is getting sick of me calling and asking them about the 6700Ks every day to check local stock. No joy yet. I've seen some estimates of stock coming in around...

Me too. But unfortunately they aren't giving it out to the public. Have to purchase the game first.

So from the sounds of things this will eliminate the need for memory as we know it in a PC. Sounds like all you need is a decent HD with this stuff in it and it will be fast enough to use in place of RAM and also offer permanent storage. Sounds like a win-win to me. Looks like DDR4 may be the...

Personally, I don't see what the problem is. If they charged ~$30 per year I would gladly pay it. If you think about it, you pay around $120 every 3 years or so for a new Windows version anyways (assuming you get an OEM copy like most PC enthusiasts). So 30-40 bucks per year is quite reasonable...

Sorry. Wrong thread. Not sure how that happened. Can't edit my post for some reason. :/

I began working with PCs when I was 8 years old. My grandfather sat me down in front of a Packard Bell 8088 and said, "Here it is, boy...figure it out!" And figure it out I did. By the time I was in my mid teens I had torn apart and rebuilt every computer I had owned. Over the years I had...

Neo: "Whoa" :eek:

This is my card of choice with this generation! I picked up one of their WindForce 670s back when they first came out and it always performed flawlessly.

Wouldn't that be kinda redundant anyways? The whole purpose of doing DSR is to have higher resolution on a single screen. If you upscale it with DSR AND split it across more screens won't you end up with pretty much the same image quality as you would with a single monitor and upscaled to a...

If you do some searching Newegg has several 980s in stock. Some are already sold out though. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600536050&IsNodeId=1&Description=gtx%20980&name=GeForce%20GTX%20980&Order=BESTMATCH

According to the ASUS rep on Facebook the [H] has a board on hand for review. So I guess we will see soon whether or not it's all fluff.

The ASUS rep on Facebook is saying that it's not so much a performance boost per se, but rather better power delivery to the CPU and memory controller, which yields better and more stable overclocking of the CPU and memory.

...have you seen this? http://rog.asus.com/347222014/rampage-motherboards/asus-rog-x99-exclusive-oc-socket-extra-pins-extra-performance/ Care to contact ASUS and see if you can get a sample to see if it really makes a difference, or if it's just marketing spin?

I'm kinda torn on this one. I'm on an Ivy Bride 3570K now. Been wanting to get something a little beefier so I can do some game streaming and still keep a decent frame rate. But from a performance point it doesn't look like there is really much advantage over a 4970K. Yeah there's DDR4 but...

Who's to say the government isn't already using a few of these or something like it? The NSA crunches at least Petabytes of data daily. Just sayin....

Anyone know what mobo and BIOS they got the supposed 5.5 OC on? Maybe it's a BIOS thing that only a certain mobo vendor was made privy to? Just grasping at air here.....

Here's another to add to the list: Legitreviews.com - 4.9GHz w/1.4VCore. Kept getting BSOD so they dropped back to 4.7GHz @ 1.351 to get a stable OC. Temps around 76C. And that's all with Corsair H105 Extreme water cooler kit. Legit Reviews 4790K CPU Review

I don't doubt that, but supposedly the 5.5 number was achieved on air cooling if you believe the tweet that was sent out late last week from Computex.

^^ This. Makes me wonder if that 5.5 number they were throwing around was with HT disabled and only a single core live. I'd be curious to know what motherboard they used to get that result. Had to have been a cherry picked chip.

Well damn..... Guess I'll take the $600 I was gonna spend on a new mobo and CPU and save it up for Skylake and DDR4. :(

Let's wait and see what the [H] comes up with. I wasn't at all satisfied with the review at PCPer. Also, they failed to mention what BIOS version they were using on that ASUS board. ASUS put out a BIOS update for all its Z97 boards last week to add additional support for DC CPUs and...

It's possible too that ISPs could implement a pay per use style of billing. Just like your electric company bills per KWh, your ISP could bill per MB. The more you use the more you pay, just like with the electric company. I know that's a tough pill to swallow for some, but all in all, it is...

This is horse shit! Consumers (including myself) already pay Comcast for internet service and anything and everything that comes with it. Why the hell should Netflix pay Comcast a premium for something that we consumers are already paying for?? Comcast is double-dipping and it shouldn't be...

I'd spend those extra ten minutes fapping to naked pics of Jessica Alba....ten times.... :D

Probably so....but there's no such thing as bad press. And KMart needs all the publicity it can get right now. It's a sinking ship....pun intended. :D

I AM the 3% :D
