Thanks, I'm considering my options right now. I bought the 6950X together with a Rampage V Edition 10 just about one year ago and it has been doing a great job every day so far. My biggest gripe with Skylake-X are not the CPU's but the X299 platform which like you said offers little to nothing...

Caseking is selling delidded 7900X's now with 24 months warranty: https://www.caseking.de/intel-core-i9-7900x-3-3-ghz-skylake-x-sockel-2066-delidded-tray-cpbu-140.html The price is alright, will order mine there soon.

That sounds promising. I'm going to wait until October though, hopefully Intel will have their new SSD's out as well and I want to wait for a possible ASUS X299-E WS board.

I found this years ago when I was wondering about the hole myself: http://www.compatdb.org/forums/topic/21394-what-is-the-hole-in-the-p4-cpu/

Any chance this happened after an upgrade to a new Windows 10 build? I've read about compatibility problems and possible curruption when trying to access a storage space volume with a different build. Mine contains 8 6TB HDD's and 2 1.2TB SSD's for the SSD tier. They are set up as 2 way mirror...

LTSB 2016 is like that. I paid for a MSDN sub to get access and it's the only version of Windows 10 I'm willing to use.

ReFS is nothing new. It's been around for many years and I started using it in late 2015 together with a Storage Spaces mirror. That's with the Enterprise edition of Windows 10. I don't know if it's locked out of Pro and Home editions. They are meant to work together. ReFS was specifically...

X99 to X299 looks like a small upgrade compared to what X79 to X99 was in late 2014. The RAID key thing is a sick joke really. And then it only works with Intel SSD's.

I'm sure Der8auer/Caseking will sell binned and delidded Skylake-X CPU's for $200-500 on top of the retail prices in the coming months. I'd much rather pay for that before I take the risk and delid a $1000-2000 CPU myself. Caseking also gives 24 months warranty on their delidded CPU's, that's...

I have serious problems with two new workstations I set up based on the ASUS X99-E WS USB 3.1 with Intel Xeon E5 v4 CPUs and I'm really out of ideas whats wrong here. The setup: ASUS X99-E WS USB 3.1, latest BIOS v3201 Intel Xeon E5 2687W v4 Samsung DDR4 regECC 16GB (M393A2K40BB1-CRC) x4 64GB...

So since this is not a Geforce GTX card like its predecessors but just a "Nvidia Titan X" will it use Geforce drivers or Quadro or maybe able to use either like AMD's Radeon Pro Duo can run with both gaming and professional drivers?

Yeah it does. I have a Yulong Sabre DA8II USB DAC/AMP and the DPC latency is killing it. I don't get audio drop outs, the DAC completely stops working after I had a high latency spike until I turn it off and back on. I had to remove my 2 1080's because of this.

If they release a big Pascal consumer card this early whats left for them to use for a 2017/18 refresh until Volta is out? If there will be a new Titan card in August it wont be 50% faster than the GTX1080.

It says not until after the new Quadro lineup launched and that is not going to happen any time soon. I think a Pascal Titan will come more like around March 2017.

Ever since my 2 580's in 2010/11 I had single GPU setups and now I'm back to SLI with 2 GTX1080 FE's for about 4 weeks and everything works great. GTAV, BF4, Crysis 3, Dark Souls 3, Witcher 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Mirrors Edge Catalyst, all running well without any problems. The only game...

Maybe it's coincidence but out of all graphic cards I have owned over the years the EVGA ones were always the troublemakers, be it reference or custom design. Whenever I had an ASUS or MSI card instead, they just worked. That being said, after one week with 2 EVGA GTX1080's I experienced the...

Guru3D has a review with that bridge: GeForce GTX 1080 2-way SLI review

[ Nope it turns out Nvidia will only support Windows 10 build 10586 (1511) and higher: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/938259/geforce-drivers/official-geforce-gtx-1080-368-25-whql-display-driver-feedback-thread-released-5-26-16-/post/4888869/#4888869 Like one of the posters there...

I couldn't resist and ordered 2. Didn't have a SLI setup since my 2 580's in 2011, I hope it works well. Just no word on the new HB bridges yet, says coming soon. Kyle planning on a SLI review old vs. new HB bridge performance?

3:00 PM CET for the European people. Many stores here pushed the date back to May 31. Maybe waiting on shipments. I'm still on the fence whether or not to get 2. I'm in for new cards but I don't really know any games I want to play right now. Such a dilemma! Does anyone know if stores will have...

From the review page: Do you think Nvidia will only support build 10586 and up for Pascal cards or is this just for the review drivers? Edit: I'm asking because I'm on Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB N which I got through my MSDN sub and it's based on build 10240. I have no plans to upgrade to a...

Thanks. I wonder if this only for DX11+ fullscreen applications or enabled 10 bit output for content creation. Nvidia used to allow this on Quadro cards only.

I'm sorry if this has been answered and I missed it but is this card still restricted to 8 bit colour output like previous gen Geforce cards or has Nvidia lifted the lock for new games that can make use of a full 10 bit colour range and HDR?

The most expensive card I've ever bought is the Quadro M5000 in my new workstation build. I didn't pay the street price of $2200 but $1750 getting a nice deal through my employer. As far consumer/gaming cards are concerned the Titan X has been my most expensive card. The M5000 is actually the...

After some research (and reproducing it myself with 2 Titan X) I found the problem being the Luxmark test that is part of RealBench. I also found information that this is a known bug by Nvidia that has been around for a while and not fixed yet: Page 16, known issues...

Which part of RealBench is causing the crash? I read about driver crashes that happen at the end of the run with SLI systems only in a thread on ASUS ROG forums. If you want a similar and in my opinion much better system benchmarking suite try SPECviewperf 12: SPECviewperf® 12 See if that...

If you want to game now buy now. If you want to game in 6-9 months, wait. First new GPU's will be mobile and real replacements for 980Ti are far off. I would never wait for anything that is not confirmed to be released in 6-8 weeks.

I'm sure the cards coming in June are meant to replace GM204 but not GM200. Expect 10% better peformance at a much lower TDP. I bought 2 Titan X cards last week and I don't think I will regret it. It's still 3+ months I can enjoy playing with these cards every day. When the time comes and big...

From what I understand modern game engines use optimization technics that rely on information from the previous frame in order to render the next resulting in extreme high efficiency, see Unreal Engine 4. SLI will never work with that and the trend that new games don't support SLI at all will...

Nice article, thanks for the good read! Have you tried GTA V with newer drivers on your setup? I wonder if the SLI scaling got better since the first review of the game. I'm still on the fence and can't decide whether or not to get 2 Titan X at this point. I bought a single Titan X when they...

They are. But I don't know if they are build by partner companies following the nvidia reference design or by nvidia chosen manufacturers like quadro and tesla cards. That said, I had 3 EVGA Titan X cards die on me. The story so far: Bought a EVGA Titan X on release day last year. The card...

A MSDN sub is like $900/year if you get it with the cheapest Visual Studio package. Not sure if that gives access to this version. I think in the past you were given multiple keys for the current Windows version and they didn't expire. Not sure they changed the rules. If a MSDN sub gives 5-6...

Is there even a way for a home user to license/activate the enterprise LTSB version?

I'm having a lot of problems with this "update" which was essentially a full in-place OS upgrade that pretty much screwed my system. It resetted Windows 10 to a default state, added a lot new bloat and reinstalled all the apps I had previously uninstalled. Many applications are broken now...

Could be it. I was on the older 350.12 for many weeks as I had no reason to update to a newer release. Thought for Witcher 3 I'd update to the latest but there seem to be a lot of problem from what I read on geforce forums now.

Tried it out for the first time today. Movement and camera controls are really bad, I hope I get used to that. Graphics are pretty good actually I was surprised after reading so much about a major downgrade. However, it didn't take 20 minutes until I got non-stop display driver crashes...

Yeah jesus came at me too last night when I was hiding on a rooftop watching a modder spawning meteorites all over the city. He had some company with him, a goat, a cow and then a clone of myself with a minigun who killed me. That was fun at least, better than those modders who explode the whole...

Looks like they finally start looking into whats going on with the horrible performance since the last updates: https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/206862727

Its not a driver issue, or an issue with anyones hardware in general. It was introduced with the new Anti-Cheat system Rockstar added 3 days after Ill Gotten Gains Part 1, a small 16MB update to Social Club. Ever since the game is randomly stuttering really bad in certain locations, unrelated to...

Quite the opposite for me. The T20 is (just like the other supercar they added in the first DLC part) still worse than the Zentorno. A little better brakes but bad traction, after driving around with it for 2 hours i'm back to Zentorno. The Coil Brawler is fun to climb mountains with I think it...
