    Power Supply question.

    So just an update on my first rig: 6 RX 580s/480s on a 1000w Corsair RM1000x. Working like a charm. I made sure to undervolting the first 4 GPUs before adding the extra 2 and undervolting them, just incase, All worked out great :) So I have an additional question on an extra PSU I have lying...

    Starting first rig next week!

    I just got 5 RX 580 8gbs for $340 each and a 480 8gb for $300. Risers and 1000w PSU on the way as well.... Intending on using an existing i5 2500 and Gigabyte GA Z77X US3H motherboard to run it all from. 5 Big Questions going in: 1) Where can I find the best bios for the 580s (and 480)? What...

    How low will the TDP get?

    I am wondering what Ryzens lowest TDP consumer desktop part will be. It will be interesting to see if the performance holds up at lower clocks, and if these processors are capable of getting down to 35w and below like the Intel ones are. I would expect the APUs will push for lower TDPs. Last...

    Need GTX 960 vs GTX 1060 clock-for-clock comparison

    I know its a bit late in the game with the next generation right around the corner... But it would be nice to see a comparison of the GTX 960 vs GTX 1060 at the same clocks, to really see what gains are had from Maxwell to Pascal. I know some comparisons were made between the 1080 and 980ti...

    Need 470 / Polaris Architecture review please

    We need a 470 review for 2 reasons. 1) Does the shader count make a big different? Does the lower shader count allow for higher clocks (like 980ti vs TitanX for instance)? 2) If you downclock a 470 to 380x speeds, they match up spec-for-spec (from what I have seen). How do they compare at...

    The under-rated market segment

    Low-profile and pcie-powered cards. Steam Hardware & Software Survey the 970 and 960 at top certainly show demand for the $200-$400 segments... But what goes under-noticed if the 750ti, and if you remove integrated graphics the 650 is not far behind... I think there is a much larger demand...

    Are we assuming Vega is the 490? Or is it possibly the 500 series?

    Any information on this? Im excited to see what is to come. If AMD could push a Tonga architecture to Fury levels with 14nm, various architecture improvements, clock boost, and more/faster vram, then I cant wait to see what happens when they do it with Vega which I assume will be a rework of...

    Killer Instinct DX2 review

    Any plans on doing a DX12 review for Killer Instinct? There is a lot of interest in DX12 and Async Compute, so I think the third 'real test' of this would gain a fair amount of attention.

    Who has the better 'current tech'?

    It is quite obvious that NVidia has had the better sales and marketing.... but going on tech alone, who has the 'leg up' going into the next generation? Essentially, we are looking at Fiji and Tonga vs Maxwell... Both made big power usage strides and both made big advancements in DX12 related...

    New Skylake/170-series on board audio.

    New 170 series motherboard have been released, and it looks like the major players are throwing a little bit of focus on onboard audio, as it is one of the few features/functions that can vary in quality between manufactures. The main onboard audio efforts have come from Gigabyte, MSI, ASUS and...

    GTX 950 wish list: passive and low profile

    No, not both passive and low profile at the same time :P Anyone else looking for either a low profile card or a passively cooled card for a SFF build, and limited to the 750ti or 750 right now? The 950 seems to be positions right between the 750ti and 960, and share the 4k playback...

    Best Surge Protector/Power Filter?

    RM850i vs EVGA G2 850 question: white paste on internals

    So I am deciding between a Corsair RM850i and EVG SuperNova G2 850... Both are winners. The RM850i seems to be the better PSU by a very slim margin, but I have a concern. In all 850i/750i reviews I have seen, the units being used have a lot of white past coating some parts, I assume used to...

    What AMD does vs WHat nVidia does...

    I really don't get the anger over AMD rebranding their old tech and keeping it 'up to date'. NVidia will develop something marginally better than their last tech, spend their time neutering it in multiple different ways for as many SKUs as possible while only making the very top SKUs better...

    wait for the benchmarks :)

    I think people are going to be very surprised by the benchmarks on the 390/x and the 380. Drivers: Once review sites stop using old 290x benchmarks taken in 2014, Hawaii will see a bump in performance on 'the charts' just from AMD driver improvements since Maxwell. Its been ugly watching...

    Seeking: Good AM3+ micro-ATX board

    Any new AM3+ micro-atx boards hit the market lately? On the topics, I've heard that the lack of Micro ATX AM3+ boards is because it is hard to fit all of the AMD chipset onto a smaller board... So I look at current Micro-ATX boards and wonder how much would really be lost if they removed a...

    Memory Overclocking & high vram games

    970 3.5gb 'feature' vs 750ti 4gb....

    So it seems Jen-Hsun Huang over at nVidia has revealed via blog that the extra ram above 3GB on the GTX970 (including the last .5gb) if a 'feature' that if not included would have limited the GTX 970 to a 3gb card.... So the real question becomes.... How does the new GTX 750ti 4GB utilize...

    Dedicated PhysX Card vs No PhysX question?
