Why repeat the same false BS? It's not smaller and they could have done it with the same ITX stuff that's been around for years without sacrificing size. The main complaints I'm seeing and the same ones I have are price and not taking ITX. I'm still waiting to hear of benefits beyond saving the...

That would be better but still terrible. A desktop 9900K + cooler + Z390 ITX + chassis + 600W SFX PSU is under $1100. You get commodity parts and much healthier secondary market if you ever wanted to take part. These could very well go the way of BTX or any of the other things Intel has proposed...

I don't have the link at hand but it was in a Ghost Canyon write up on the Verge site, take that as you will. This looks to be marketed as a gaming device and at those speculated prices it's going to have a hard time competing with gaming laptops and enthusiast DIY with the Dan's and Velka's of...

Saw on another web site that claims the laptop i5 and "motherboard" barebone will cost $1,050. I'd rather fork out the $250 for a Dan case and not pay over $1,000 for a bespoke motherboard and laptop i5.

Yes I know it's not a riser but in a NUC product, what does it offer over a riser in a boutique sandwich case? For the Mazz fellow, did they miss what was said in the video? It said $1500 for the element which is the card (CPU and board) but nothing else, no storage, RAM, chassis, or PSU. This...

$1500 is overpriced for a fancy PCIe riser. What's the difference between this and strapping a blower cooler on to an ITX board with socketed CPU? And why is the blower intake facing the GPU instead of the outer side of the case?

Better hide inside your compound for the next little while. Go Topless Day is in 2 weeks.

It's only an issue because the USA is in the clutches of Big Formula.

Someone sarcastically mocks Intel's drivers. You ask if that person has used those said drivers recently. A few examples are posted indicating various issues. You dismiss them as irrelevant, uncommon, in the past, then talk about how great they are at doing things which are presumably not games...

You were the one saying they had stellar drivers in the past so I just provided a counterpoint as it directly relates to their previous performance. Infrequent is usually the word people put in front of "Intel GPU driver updates" and if 6 million players is niche now then so are games like...

https://forums.intel.com/s/question/0D50P0000490FDSSA2/graphics-bug-in-euro-truck-simulator-2-hd-620?language=en_US One of the most active games on Steam with huge numbers of concurrent users and it took them 8 months to fix that.

Yes sir. I went from a bargain bin Haswell H81 board to a Skylake Z170 board on Windows 8 with a sysprep generalize without any problems. I expect to do the same thing for the next upgrade. If this were Windows 2000 or XP my tune would be different but things have advanced since those dark days.

Get a new training manual because that hasn't been necessary for a long time.

Hasn't Intel been touting 15% IPC improvements in Sysmark for each generation of the last 5 years?

This is incorrect. I had older Dell 2209's from 10 years ago which I believe used some unknown Chinese panel which showed temporary "burn in" issues. I've seen other monitors like the 43" Dell 4K without the nano IPS layer show the issue too. On IPS displays in my experience it's always been...

A $150 1650 is higher than the launch price of the 1050 Ti. Really really really sad when a $30 graphics card from 6 years ago has more video outputs than a $150 card today. Least they could do is put a DP on there so people can use Gsync/Freesync.

Did you see the Gainward and Palit 1650's on that site? They're total junk. $149, maybe $179, for a video card with 1 HDMI and 1 DVI (no adaptive sync at all) and what looks like leftover Intel box coolers as a cooling solution.

I still fire up Cities Skylines which is over 4 years old now. It hovers at around 2GB on the menu screen but as soon as the game save finishs loading the process would be sitting at over 8GB but during some sessions I've seen it climb over 9GB. Other players who are much heavier mod users than...

A rising tide lifts all boats.

2019 is poised to be the year of Linux on the desktop.

1050 launched at $110 and it only went up to $140 for the 1050 Ti.

If those parts of the business are a rounding error, I'd wish they'd stop segmenting everything 1000 ways, but instead they're out there squeezing every last penny they can out of a stone. It's what they do. Please don't ask me if I know how Fortune 50 companies work when you're still insisting...

I have a friend who is an extreme impulsive shopper who buys things he doesn't need and immediately returns a few days later. (smh) I used to joke that he's creating jobs. You're saying it's true?

Who's to even say it even cost them that much to activate a few extra pins if they don't do much at all in the first place? People are picking fights with you because you're trying to talk nonsense with a straight face. Intel wouldn't do this for a few extra dollars? There's multiple decades of...

But Intel management gives the orders to the Intel engineering. If management told engineering to cripple something, they've done it. Didn't someone hop on to the Asrock Twitter at some point and say yes it would work on older boards but won't because of reasons? If you want to appeal to the...

What would be the point of that? Intel will have a new socket by then.

The past 18 months there were brand enthusiastic individuals on this very forum who insisted crypto was a tiny tiny portion of Nvidia's revenue, profits, and value which meant any crypto collapse would be a nothing burger therefore this firm doesn't have a case.

There's a distinction between not casting a white person if they thought white people shouldn't be in Hollywood versus (as an example) the studio seeing a lack of latino viewers and making a casting choice that might superficially generate initial interest from an audience. The former is wrong...

Maybe their metrics are better than your anecdotes and they say it would appeal to a wider western audience and be more profitable? Studios have been doing this since the beginning of time. Or is this a case of the shoe being on the other foot and not liking it? I've been playing games for...

Anyone else find the crying about "staying true to the source" in this thread funny like I do? If the producers want to change things up to appeal to a western audience to try and make more money, more power to them. That's capitalism. Just remember, Sapkowski would come in here and shit on...

No but the reaction by some of the people above where I can almost hear the foaming through the screen is bit much. Studios make changes to properties all the time when they adapt works. If they think this decision makes it a better sell to western audiences it's their prerogative. The series...

Some of you folks seem like such sad sad people. Get out for a walk and get some fresh air.

$60 game with janky game modes AND I get the fun of endlessly grinding for virtual points to advance or option of paying even more to skip it? SIGN ME UP

It feels like yesterday when they paper launched the Coffee Lake R processors last October ahead of the Spectre/Meltdown disclosures! Never change.

No sense catering to the 1% when 99% of consumers (enthusiasts included) will not ever buy any CPU even approaching $1000. Putting the delicate parts on the motherboard, which is a much lower margin part compared to the CPU, creates a lot of problems for the consumer. Much incentive for the...

Things are working as intended. Intel saves the cost of putting pins on their CPU's and feast on the extra margins while motherboard companies get the headaches and backlash. Did anyone ever have problems with CPU pins? I can't ever remember any of my 486/Pentium/Athlon CPU pins ever bending...

The first generation of N64 3D games hasn't aged well at all.

90% of this place too if we're to be honest.

What a POS for a 2K laptop.
