If it's the T490, then it only takes the x5365s, learned that the hard way.

Pretty safe to assume it's not releasing the same day on PC. The most current trailers have only talked of a PS4/Xbox One release in the fall. Hopefully it comes to PC eventually like GTA V did.

...You're looking for 32 GB of RAM on a x58 system? Impossible. That generation didn't accept 8 GB sticks of RAM. You can probably get up to 24 GB.

I think this is sensible. Games don't look like they'll efficiently utilize more than 4 cores for years. I think a locked 6-core i5 would be a great pairing for a GTX 1070 or 1080. 8 GB of RAM won't feel restrictive until you play on something like PUBG. Unoptimized higher end games can be a...

I remember from my Godaveri chip that the RAM memory speed had an insane performance impact. I hope when Raven Ridge comes out that it has a good support of higher RAM speeds. Thanks for posting your performance results. The integrated graphics market is gonna get a real shake up with AMD...

Soooo.... I joined the mining craze and drove an r9 290 into the ground. It's busted and it makes me sad. That was also my primary gaming GPU. Anyways, it mined .6275 ether while I was running it. I'm willing to spend that all to buy a GPU. That's about $210 assuming ether stays worth around...

In response to the PUBG comment, I don't experience much CPU utilization in PUBG. I have a 6-core and it typically uses about 20% or less of that. I've experienced good utilization in Gears of War 4 and Civilization 6. Dx12 and should scale up to 6-cores better according to info released by...

Gaming on a budget

I might've had that same laptop type last year. The 720qm is sad. Bump for this man

You can also broaden your search to the W3690. It works the same since you're using a single socket board.

It's not that I don't trust $60 games, but I just wait for a couple years now before I buy (single player) games so I can get their fully polished patched versions for 15 dollars or less. I just got Arkham Knight recently, turns out it's pretty good.

Strategy games for me. I feel like those ones have the biggest skill disparity between professionals and average players. I'm probably bad at lots of games, but I don't think I'm that bad compared to the professionals.

NES SNES N64 Xbox Wii Xbox 360 Xbox One I started on the PC after I had gotten an Xbox. But, I didn't have my own computer until 2010.

Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare Remastered. I loved the original CoD4. It was the first call of duty I ever played and it made me get into online console gaming. The Remaster was a rollercoaster experience. First thing, it ran like crap on my hardware for most of the game. I was using an old...

I hope you got everything you wanted.

I think it depends on implementation by big companies. Playstation VR has probably had a large effect in bringing VR to the mainstream.

I feel like this game priced at 20-25 dollars with a large player base would be something to look forward to.

Damn CoD started the "buy all the maps" trend and simultaneously, Farmville started microtransactions. Both of which are poisons to good games.

Watch Dags.

I couldn't get it to work on my APU. I might fire it up on my new rig though.

I call this PC "Bold and Brash"

I like to see the CPU being eased on in modern games. Good to see it performs about the same from a 6700k down to a 6100.

I expect once the dust settles from the release, a lot of the rumors and hype will be shown to be very exaggerated. I think it's going to have great IPC and efficiency gains, but I don't expect Zen to really bring Intel to their knees on gaming performance.

I'm excited for Zen, but I'm definitely waiting for the benchmarks and reviews.

I'm hoping that their SMT matures well. Intel's first attempt at hyperthreading was scrapped when it was shown to be not very useful or efficient.

I really like AMD, but their recent CPUs have left me wanting much more. I'll keep a close eye on Zen for sure though.

I'm in the camp of saying it's a CPU bottleneck.

If you play on low settings, you can run this on nearly anything.

I'd keep the r9 290. I'm using one myself and unless you need more than 60 fps, it seems to be great for 1080p gaming.

I'd go with Asus

If you still haven't got anything, Rx 480s are under $200 for Black Friday.

Technology is a fickle market. My question is how did AskJeeves exist at all?

Give me a break. I'm typing out responses left and right trying to hit 100 messages dang it.

I'd get an SSD for booting at playing a few games with before upgrading anything else.

I think it's cool, but I'd wait for the technology to mature a few generations.

I'd suggest a 1060 or 480 in these crazy black friday deals. I don't know about quiet and power consumption. It's not something I concern myself with often.

I really wish there were more choices in GPU manufacturers. I think the same about CPU manufacturers.

It looks dope as hell. If it wasn't so darn expensive, that'd be nice to upgrade an old prebuilt with.

I hope to pick it up this Black Friday.
