I was wondering if going from GDDR3 to gddr 4/5 (think they skiped 4 or did it real fast right?) Give much improvement performance wise on Gpu's and whewn could we expect it to hit the mainstream market? google seem to tell me it's in 2014 but is that even true?

the 700 series is a refresh with a price drop, maxwell is a new architecture. With new consoles maxwell will be able to outpower quite a bit at the budget you got and you'll be set for the next gen. Kinda like 8800 owners.

Im sitting at 4.5 Ghz at 1.275 Volts at 55ish C on average with spike around 62-63c with some quite fans Fine I guess

I recently bought a motherboard from msi and a new cpu. I did a fresh install of windows 7 (just finished) and it seem my xonar sound card is not working. No sound to be found. Ive updated the drivers, set it as default playback (do I need to reboot for it to play?) and I disabled the onboard...

So delidding will be popular if it's only heat the problem? I can't wait to try it out. I was wondering what are the "safe spot" for voltage, I've heard it's 1.35v soo.... Can't wait to receive my mobo, nothing more frustrating then seeing my 4770k sitting beside, looking me in the eyes...

Hey guys, I want to sell my cpu+mobo+cpu cooler in a combo. Kinda first time seller just make an offer that's reasonable if you are interested. Obviously they are used but they still work perfectly, always stayed cold and in good environment. Here is the price of em new I could find on ebay...

I've seen asus and linus video about overclocking: A good haswell can do 4.6 at 1.2V. Golden one is around 1.15v and a bad one is 1.35+V.They also mentioned that Haswell have a bigger varience on the silicone lotery so pretty sure a good Haswell can hit 4.8-4.9 at 1.275V edit: that's also not...

Can you do things with this onboard gpu? Encoding while recording gameplay is possible? I can't see any benefits of this with a discrete gpu on the machine, kinda wonder why it's in the 350$ chip.

770's are re branded 680. Don't expect much more performance then the 680's Maybe 5% more? I would suggest a single 780. -8.5% of titans performance for 350-400$ cheaper.

Wonder if maxwell will get titan or even more performance. Hope it's another 8800gt

I was wondering of those i5 and i7 get binned or are physically different. is there really a difference if you got both at same clocks?

I thought this thread was dead, geez. Thanks guys, Def going 4770k. I wont be getting a second rig dedicated for capture because this is just fur the heck of it, nothing much serious. I read the bf3 bench, seems quite interesting. I think I'll do benches on my old rig vs new one to see how CPU...

There is no benchmark for overclock so we may get way more oc headroom and IPC bench are made of non-consumer ready cpu plus you don't have to deal with heat problem because it's soldered. You end up with the newest platform so you actually have an upgrade path if you so desire on the same mobo...

We are one month away from haswell and you are telling me I should not wait? 5-10% performance per clock + new platform (upgrade path basically and not a dead platform) + Potential more overclock headroom for the same price? anyway, thanks. I guess im going for the i7

I know an i5 is plenty to play games, I'm talking about playing and recording gameplay, said it twice already. No benchmark for that anywhere.

While recording gameplay was the important part, that's why it was in bold. This bench look like most of the bench I've seen, they only focus on having the game playing. Nothing else witch I don't think translate into real world environment where you would have 5-6 program in the back ground or...

So I was looking for a cpu upgrade, waiting Haswell to come out. And I started thinking about an i5 or i7. The only big difference between those two is hyper threading right? But what kind of real world performance gain you get out of it? I'll use it mainly for gaming, but would like to stream...

Holly shit, how you got this kind of money to spend on a rig? 4 titans, im jelly

if there is no difference why people get excited for ddr4 and high end memory?

Is it possible to do it with a 2560*1440 monitor, when I try it always say that the monitor do not support this resolution.

We'll be able to see the keynote and the conference online?

How people can say it's not worth it? More performance at no cost. If you don't need the performance go with a cheaper cpu and that's it.

I like how that guy above me got his nice triple 2560*1660 monitors running up but is using g35 garbage usb headphones with no sound card. Step it up and buy a sound card and decent headphones please. Not like you can't afford it and you'll thank me latter.

Nvidia cards offer more features and scale better with sli, why should they cost less? Price vs performance on single card are pretty close too, it's not like it's night and day.

I like how most of you didn't read the article and are calling bull. Seems legit to me: Fraps record how many fraps it show on screen, frame time show long the frame stay on the screen. The problem is that fps on fraps aren't a real measurement of how smooth it is because of a runt frames. A...

http://www.pcper.com/image/view/21617?return=node%2F56826 yeah instead of being all over the place it's all over the place withing a 18 and 34 ms frame time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CsHuPxX8ZzQ I think it's a great video that explain better the graph, the story is unveiled but since when amd had that problem and didn't fix it?

i don't know if you guys looked the videos there: http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/Frame-Rating-Dissected-Full-Details-Capture-based-Graphics-Performance-Tes-10 I've seen reviews on 7950 in crossfire and usually tehy push better frame rate but man it looks choppy as fuck compare...

I've been playing on my 670 with the new drivers in 2560*1440, frame rate is all over the place. I think it's my amd 955 cpu that is bottle necking the gpu. Usually it run around 35ish fps and 50ish indoors but sometime frame rate drop to 1-2 and it's also atributed to cpu usage spiking...

I'm kinda clueless in ram department frankly, but there is barely performance increase with 1333 mhz ram and 2000 mhz ram right so will we really see improvement over ddr3 that worth the upgrade? I mean ddr4 will cost an arm and a leg.

Implying ddr4 will improve much on the desktop side

I want haswell before metro last light QQ

Sadly, they don't need to get better performance. It's like a race where the one behind have his leg broken. He won't catch up and the the winner can just win like a walk in the park. Witch make me sad.

Why do people even care then? Specially on a mainstream platform. I've never understood the point of buying high end speed ram. Is it a waste or i'm just clueless

Will noctua upgrade their fan soon, like a new top tier farn, and are Noctua NF-F12 considered the best fan in the world for silence performance fan?

will DDR4 realistically give a good performance boost for the average user? Or only video editors will enjoy that. I'm kinda clueless about average ram and it's performance impact.

Basically an amd frame<Nvidia frame if the fps are the same becuase amd cheat with average fps or something like that?

That's like the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Of course I used the value card! You can't compare apples to apples if you don't take value into consideration. When comparing houses, cars, cell phones or what ever, you always take into consideration the cost. No one has ever compare a Civic to a...

Well AMD is a clear winner here for any average consumer looking to build a rig for gaming. Clearly the 1-5 fps you gain with the i7 isn't worth the 130$ investment. You will be better off getting a better video card with that money in every scenario possible. For the benches, most of them are...
