    Wikileaks Exposes CIA Hacking Tools

    Doubtful. This isn't even the full extent of the documents; more to come. I don't think we know the dates on these docs either. The CIA could have developed newer tools since those docs were released.

    AMD’s Vega & Ryzen “Capsaicin & Cream” Live Event

    I liked how they cut the stream when he started talking about alcohol and endorphins. "Cut the stream, cut the stream! He's gonna tell *that* story!"

    AMD Presents New Horizon

    Loved the tepid response when they announced the 3.4 Ghz target. The meh was deafening. Zen isn't going to do much for the enthusiast platform right now it appears. We've been performance starved for years and just offering something comparable to what we have now isn't going to endear AMD to...

    Some of the first Broadwell-E Benchmarks

    It's not about usage. Just because you're not at 100% usage doesn't mean you won't benefit from more cores. More cores means the work can be spread out more efficiently. Prestandaanalys: Battlefield 4 - Test - Processorer och minnesfrekvens i Battlefield 4 And that's just Shanghai. Maps that...

    How much is the i7-2600K holding me back?

    Listen man, I'm not saying that OP specifically mentioned that he'll be playing BF1 but.....well.......he literally put that in the OP.

    How much is the i7-2600K holding me back?

    2600k was a great CPU but it's not the mythical beast it's made out to be. That award goes to the 3930K. There's already a number of games that take advantage of 6 cores and with DX12 around the corner there's the potential that higher core CPU's will deliver even more. If it's within your...

    So, be honest, does the resolution bother you?

    Resolution isn't a deal breaker for me. Obviously we'd all prefer higher but for an emerging tech it's more than workable. I've got the Rift and as soon as I went through the little demo thing they do I knew I was in love. I especially loved the one where they have you high up on this platform...

    Some of the first Broadwell-E Benchmarks

    It depends on what games you intend to play and what your frame objectives are. If you have a 100hz + monitor and your objective is to have no drop 100 fps then you will definitely benefit from 6+ cores in certain games. Total War games and 64 player Battlefield are a couple of examples. Often...

    Some of the first Broadwell-E Benchmarks

    No doubt, but with DX12 there's some preliminary evidence that high core CPU's will really benefit. Now whether that extends all the way up to 10 cores is unknown... Still for something like a 10 core at that price you're probably investing because of the benefits to video encoding and other...

    Battlefield 5

    If they're claiming it won't be expected then perhaps a Korean War setting. That hasn't been touched yet by BF. Perhaps a futuristic setting but instead of 2142 it would be like Xcom2 style in a FPS format. Could always end up being BC3 too...

    So, be honest, does the resolution bother you?

    I don't know how you handle things but I can't finish unless I know whether the wall paint is matte, satin or glossy and if I can't turn around to check then that's a deal breaker. Seriously though it would be good trolling to put up a sign on the wall behind you that says "what? Would you...

    So, be honest, does the resolution bother you?

    Is the poor rez as detrimental to videos as it is to gaming? I'm interested in 3D adult vids. For anyone that's tried it, is it more stimulating than regular AV? Are the videos running at 90FPS?

    100/120/144Hz Monitor Owners Survey - How do you balance graphic fidelity vs. frame rate?

    I've got an X34 that does Gsync and it's a good feature, but it can't compensate for a lower refresh rate. They're doing two different things. Gsync isn't going to make a 60Hz monitor look and perform like a 144Hz. It will, however, get rid of the tearing and without the performance hit of Vsync.

    Intel is just discriminating against people like us. I have a biological need for speed and by denying that Intel is violating my 9th Amendment rights. *Sniff* *sniff* you smell that Intel? That's the scent of me cooking up a class action lawsuit if Broadwell-E comes in just 1 Mhz below 5.

    No one really knows what these chips are capable of until we see them in action. My point was that 5GHz is my buy point. Anything less than that and I'm just going to invest in GPU upgrade instead.

    The State of SLI/Xfire in 2016

    You know now that you mention it, I haven't heard anything about DX12 as it relates to SLI/Xfire. Any word on if it will make implementation easier? You often hear devs complain about the complexity hassle of coding it.

    I have the same processor has you. It's been really good to me, no complaints. I'm thinking either 6900 or 6850k (8 or 6 cores) but I want to be able to get 5ghz minimum on OC. Anything less and I don't think I can justify it. When DX12 matures there's a good chance these 6 and 8 core cpus will...

    The State of SLI/Xfire in 2016

    What's everyone's perception about the effectiveness of running dual cards? Do you feel the support both in the quantity of games and quality of implementation has increased, decreased or stayed about the same? I'll refrain from voicing my opinion for now.

    HTC Vive Owners Thread

    Two certifiably dumb questions: 1) I know the resolution is split between the two eyes but is the refresh rate as well? Are we actually seeing 45Hz rather than 90? 2) I never really got into Track IR but would this effectively replace those devices. If not, can they be integrated somehow?

    I REALLY like that yours is one of the few sites that tests CPU's the right way. That's to say eliminating the graphics bottleneck by setting everything to low and keeping things low resolution. Other sites post test after test of useless GPU bound results showing every processor performing the...
