    Tesla Is Assembling Model 3s in a Giant Tent

    To be fair they are 'rails/runners' therefore 'its' tolerances aren't that influential to over-all product quality but 'half-arsed is still half-arsed' no matter where it is in the process...

    Game Load Times on HDD and SSD

    I've been using an ioDrive2 (1.2TB) for games for a long long time.. also at one stage I was creating RAMDrive's (ImDisk Toolkit is free and easy) and copying my steam or Origin folder from the ioDrive2 into RAM with a startup script. Personally, I found there was very little reward for all the...

    HTC VIVE Turns 2 - VIVE Pro Starter Kit

    If they had offered a 'fair' HMD trade-in I'd have bitten their hand off.., what use is 'just' an old HMD to anybody? I'll wait for the complete package update and also see what Oculus brings out... then sell or more than likely give my old Vive setup to a friend or family member.

    Linus Torvalds Rips Into Intel

    Your reading what you want to read.. 'systems' thats plural.. Throttling doesn't need to mean underperformance, just throttle down to the same limits the CPU's has currently but if thermals allow let all cores run free... and giving the user the 'option' if its too risky don't enable it - I...

    Linus Torvalds Rips Into Intel

    The point of my argument is Intel CPU's have loads of headroom, they can unlock all the cores or more than just allowing turbo on a couple of cores as a 'sweetner'.. yeah I know they wont but they 'should'. If the user is a heavy user, folding or bitcoin, then the benefit might be slight with...

    Linus Torvalds Rips Into Intel

    who seriously needs more than 1 core a turbo speed.. but for those that do and obviously operate in a datacenter where cooling isn't an issue, or have sufficient cooling -- why 'impose' a reduction of performance without offering a 'sweetener'... 'my' CPU is a drop in the ocean but of all the...

    Linus Torvalds Rips Into Intel

    why doesn't Intel just release and force the patch and then also unlock turbo on 'all' cores as a goodwill measure, a kind of 'robbing Peter to pay Paul' situation, they 'usually' have loads of thermal scope to be able to do it. My E5-2695 V3 has turbo enabled on all 14 cores via UEFI hack...

    Dark Souls Remastered Goes to Switch

    Yes... "Experience the rich world of Dark Souls in upscaled 4K resolution with 60FPS when playing on a PlayStation 4 Pro system, Xbox One X, and PC," switch will be 1080p@30 fps.. I best get on with finishing Dark Souls 3, reinstalled my PC a few times and forgot they moved savefile to local...

    NVIDIA Forbids GeForce Driver Deployment in Data Centers

    So will people be happy that nvidia never releases their full GPU to 'consumers' -- they are only asking people who operate or sell to a datacenter and therefore have the resources to match to 'pay up'. imagine a 'cloud' type datacenter that charges per cpu/gpu cycle ... do you really think...

    AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and 1920X CPU Review @ [H]

    Maybe Threadripper's extra PCIE lanes would enable me to revive my failed project, i.e. 3rd M60 wasn't detected... Tiny Quadro 410 hiding in the shadows for 'graphics' :)

    10-Core Processors Are Still "Totally Overkill" for Gaming

    I've been running an E5-2695 v3 (14 cores) with a GTX1080ti Strix@2560x1440 and quite happy with it. I then noticed several articles regarding 'single core and mhz' is king for gaming, thinking I was selling my GPU short, I moved the GPU to my older system E5-1620@4600 I tried it on GTAV, Deus...

    Cisco Says Router Bug Could Be Result Of ‘Cosmic Radiation’

    seriously.. the first an only time I've seen god given opportunity to promote ECC memory and they blame it one 'cosmic radiation' so why do 'enterprise pay twice as much for the same DIMM"? I've got 512GGB ECC and not half as convinced to use it as my 'backbone' as I was 2 minutes ago.. (I've...

    VR Adoption Among Steam Users Has Crashed To A Halt

    I bought two 3DO's (Panasonic & Goldstar, switched as one was 'guaranteed' to support the M2 update - FZ-1 case still looks class'y imo) also bought Amiga CDTV & CD32 - all were abandoned quickly but that's life, cutting edge drives mainstream via lessons learned.. companies wouldn't take risks...

    VR Adoption Among Steam Users Has Crashed To A Halt

    Just put House of the Dying Sun on my Steam wishlist to remind me, thought of playing it in VR and it made me think of "The Last Starfighter" movie. Seems my 14 days to return ran out yesterday, looks like I'm keeping the Vive then.. :)

    VR Adoption Among Steam Users Has Crashed To A Halt

    I bought one a week ago.. pretty convinced I'll keep it but I have a few days to decide if I'll return it.. My girlfriend went mental and said it was a waste of money and I should take it back straight away. Then I bought 'theBlu' for her to try, somewhere between jumping out of her skin when a...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition Review @ [H]

    only when the 1080Ti comes out.. if anything playing DOOM makes me realise my 980Ti was an over purchase, I bought it at the same time as an XB270HU so g-synch also feels like an monumental over purchase too... but for the first time in my memory (going back to TNT2 with Nvidia) I have so much...

    GTX 1080 Ashes of the Singularity Benchmarks

    maybe the same system but not the same version of AotS? I'm happy with my 980Ti but I'll probably upgrade my girlfriends 660Ti to a GTX1070, my Dad's hell bent on buying a 4K HDR TV so he can have the 660Ti for all the content he thinks is available.. everyone's winner..

    Watch Dogs Image Quality Preview [H]

    I believe I can confirm that stuttering isn't directly related to the amount of VRAM, I'm running SLI K6000's (12GB) and I get slight stuttering while driving, not much but enough to make it unenjoyable to drive. Streaming textures also shouldn't be an issue as my game is installed onto 2x SAS...

    Corsair Vengeance 2000 Wireless 7.1 Headset Review @ [H]

    Off the back of this review I've ordered 2 sets, his and her's so to speak, as our dog is getting a little old and my current 5.1 sub sends him scatty when BF3 starts up. Looking forward to having the BF3 experience described in the article and allowing the dog to go back to sleeping 98% of the...

    Enermax FulmoGT Jumbo Case Review @ [H]

    I have this case and it really is huge, my SR-2 really looks normal sized inside it.. no extreme cooling needed with so much air flow, 2x5690 turbo to 4.18 and never go above 64c due to the huge mesh and I must have positive pressure as I've had no dust issues. The opposite side of the coin...
