As a physician in training gearing towards infectious disease, I can see many useful applications for this device. Of course granted its sensitivity and specificity are good. Good news everyone!

I've had the T440s for a few weeks now so if anyone's interested in buying one soon, allow me share some thoughts. The FHD display is gorgeous. It has a 100% sRGB gamut and a 800:1 contrast ratio. The viewing angles aren't the best for a IPS-type panel, but it's still vastly better than any TN...

I recommend looking into the 15-inch MBP (quite over budget starting at $1900 at .edu prices) or the Thinkpad T540p (probably end up being about $1400 with a 2880x1620 screen) that's coming out shortly. Both can be had with excellent specs and their lines are known for being pretty robust and...

I'd email your suggestion to their engineering team or design team if you wish to have this in future models. I'm not being sarcastic, just saying that's how you can reach them with your ideas. Even if you convince us it's not going to amount to much. Personally, I think compromises MUST be...

Wow that's insane.

A Polish review site found the FHD screen used on the T440p and T440s had a 800:1 contrast ratio and a 99% sRGB color space, with a brightness of 320 nits.

Can the T440s connect to those docks too?

Nice, post results!

Yup this is fairly normal. Price gouging was pretty hilarious when 5850 was the performance/$ card.

Nice thorough review! Very nice from AMD, able to get that much performance and some future-proofing at 4K resolution on the same process node. The price is great too, not much to say there. Hopefully non-stock and aftermarket coolers alleviate the heat/noise issue.

This thread just made my day.

I wonder how good the frame latency is.

Ah, good ol' Fermi.

I'm just waiting to see how well it overclocks. Hopefully it drives down prices.

Hey all, just got my 3570k and punched in a modest OC to 4.7 using a 0.110 offset. I'm finding the temps uncomfortably high (75-80 C), but only in stress-testing applications. In gaming and everyday use I'm seeing them top out about 10-15 C lower. So I'm working on going higher, tweaking 4.8. :)...

A 550 Ti for $100 or a 7770 for $115 are good choices. You might have to shop around or wait for a good deal if going for 7770. If you have just $100 to spend you have to look at last gen or used cards.

This looks very promising. Nvidia has done a splendid job on efficiency this generation. I may get my first Nvidia card since 8800 GT.

Indeed return it, as you got it for $469. Then pick up either a 680 for $50 more or a 7950 for $100 less. There's a Powercolor 7950 for $349 this week on sale in Canada.

1. The 7950 will be just as future proof as the 7970, provided you know how to overclock beyond CCC limits. It will be within 5% of the 7970 at the same clocks, so essentially there will be no noticeable difference beyond benchmark scores. It's also possible on some cards to flash to a 7970 bios...

Here's some info on good 7850 overlocking: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18389760 There seems to be a variety of stock voltages, so if yours is low (say lower than reference 7870), you may need to overvolt. That voltage should be safe since it's the same chip essentially as...

7850 - Get ASUS GPU Tweak to bypass CCC limits and overclock to 1100-1200. It'll hit ~7870 performance, which is ~580 performance.

Largely they are the same, and image quality should be essentially identical. Shimian: lower price, lower stand (up to preference), brightness/power controls in the back (again preference). Catleap: chance of ability to do more than 60Hz, adapter is rated 120V to 230V (not sure on this)...

Larger die size doesn't necessarily translate to higher manufacturing costs. The yield depends also on the chip's design. Whether bitcoin has value doesn't depend on one's personal opinion, but rather on the net profit one has made from it. The ignorance and hate towards it is amusing to say...

Glad to see some price cuts, which probably reflect the 28 nm process maturing. Recently 7970s have been going for $499, and 7950s for $399 in Canada. I wonder if this means they'll drop even more, to 450/350.

Hopefully I can help with those questions. 1. I don't know regarding performance, but I prefer no OSD. I like calibrating the monitor using ICC/ICM. The Lite should be the cheapest model as well. 2. I use a 3-prong power cord, like the ones you use with power supplies and printers, plugged into...

They're not being dense. You're hinting that Sapphire is somewhat special in the 'non transferable-ness' of their warranty, while recommending ASUS for example, implying that theirs is. However one would only need to go to http://service.asus.com/Warranty.aspx to see that "ALL ASUS WARRANTY...

I've been using the Achieva Shimian for two weeks now and I love it! Honestly the best upgrade for the money by far. I prefer the brightness around 10/30 and still it's very bright at that level. The '220V' adapter runs cooler than body temperature and should be fine.

I haven't touched that site in ages. Hopefully they've improved a lot, but respect is hard to earn back. TPU is nice but I wish they'd remove stuff like 1024x768 and upgrade their Nehalem for their 7990/690 review. :D

That's a good explanation. Both rely on having a case with good airflow. I believe the Gigabyte does run slightly cooler and quieter than the ASUS due to the larger fans.

The performance delta will be absolutely negligible, because at resolutions where you'll need the 2GB frame buffer, both will be unplayable with the 630m. I'm assuming the laptops are similar otherwise.

I understand the budget constraints. I'm just offering my opinion that it's better to spend $30 more to get an upgrade, rather than $110 on a card that's not one. So if the budget is really tight, I would not upgrade. Sadly, the 7750's OC gains aren't noticeable.

I wouldn't recommend replacing a 4850 with a 7750. It's true you'll get power savings, but if you ever decide to get bigger monitor, you'll have to change the video card again. A 6870 around $150 AR should give the best performance while still saving power compared to 4850 (and while still being...

Nice review. Your TW2 NV surround pic made for a laugh, thanks! I'd have sold the 680s personally too, more money back. :)

Having done some programming at tech companies, I'd wager it'll be quite boring. On the other hand, I'd love to see their hardware engineering teams discuss designs for 2015 and on :). I can keep a secret I promise.

Sorry, I skimmed most of that, but I do remember something about the XFX DD 7970s having a vapor chamber cooling system (which their other DD models don't). As well, the ASUS 7970 DirectCU reportedly has some sort of problem with seating. I'm happy to report that the 7870 DirectCU works wonders...

Yeah the overclocking potential of these XFX models seem to be poor. However the nice 99th percentile frame times of Pitcairn should be even better in the models that do overclock well. :) It'll be a while before 28 nm production forms the majority of TSMC's revenue. When that time comes though...

Here's another http://techreport.com/articles.x/22705/4 I find Techreport's use of 99th percentile frame times and time spent beyond 50 ms pretty interesting.

GotNoRice is correct. Using the DX11 codepath doesn't require tessellation or SM5.0 hardware support. The DX11 codepath improves multithreaded resource handling even on DX9 hardware.

Hmm, that's on the high side even for the GTX 480. That said, 90-95 C during load should be well within specs, though uncomfortably hot.

Listing the frame buffer, outputs and accessories (the 7900s include some hefty stuff) clearly is probably most helpful to me. Since the 3-year warranty is longer than most, perhaps that should be made noticeable as well.
