I would buy one but my main system is power hungry as it is. I have to keep feeding it food and give it adequate cooling with proper housing. Plus my main system is a beast anyways: way over 4k @500fps+. The 3090 can't touch it.

I believe I am seeing a weird scenario where my left of my screen looks further away, The tool bar on the right looks bigger. Even if I tilt the screen way to the right it still is weird. So I have the screen perfectly perpendicular to me and the left side feels like its tilted away from me a...

One thing that I have learned over the years is that recommended and minimum specs are often further from the truth than you might think.

If you are going to wait for Big Navi, I would personally wait for reviews to come out. Let other people be the guinea pigs. Assess if AMD will release 3-6 months of terrible drivers.

I know the first thing comes to mind is high end, but dang, this could also make it a good time to do that second rig for the living room.

I used to go to Toms or Anandtech, but nowa days I just watch gamers nexus for a good feel of everything, then I will let the early adopters be the guinea pigs and read forums for issues they are having. I will never jump too early given the experience I have had with my 5700xt. If I do buy this...

Don't you mean Wine?(badoom-tish) I would be the first to jump off the windows boat if we saw a reasonable uptick in native "pro" software compatibility as well as drivers, games, etc. Just because of the lack of consumer presence linux has in the pc market doesn't mean its not prevalent in just...

If it is, then I don't see how AMD can catch up. Is up scaling resolutions the future? Where do we go from here if Nvidia can double its performance with this trick?

OP, I remember seeing a video of someone with a larger than 72mm IPD trying out the Pimax. (74mm and change). I tracked down the video. Hope this helps. It's the first guy in the video.

OP, what were you coming from, if you don't mind me asking. I say this because you don't want to be on a 1080ti and necessarily go to a 5700xt or rtx 2070 super. If you were less than a gtx 1080 any of those cards you are looking at will be great. It gets a little more difficult when you start...

Right now, I just have this feeling. What I'm going to say I have no evidence for, but I has a sneaking suspicion that they created "intelligent " software and by intelligent I mean in the worst way possible: Telemetry, hand holding, nanny state, big brother. Even if you opt out of sending...

My 5700xt would give me freezes and black screens. I still get a black screen once in a long while (weeks) but usually if i unplug my monitor or power it off and then on, it brings the desktop back up. What seemed to help stability for me was to auto undervolt. I believe there are two problems...

I can't wait when everything uses more than 4 cores and low level api's.

Part of the hype around cards like the 9700pro/9800pro are at least partly due to the games that were released after that, namely Half Life 2, Doom, and Farcry. While there were eventually better options for these games later on, these were the cards that many used to carry them through this...

Note that Recent drivers have fixed a lot of the 5700xt problems, however, there are still some issues. Black screens have still been reported. Also, i have heard reports of dx9 games not playing well with the 5700 series. One of the dx9 games I play has a bit of frame skipping. I would suggest...

Kinda hard to tell exactly in the picture but could it be an overlay issue? Looks like you have a big windows clock thing there and mine doesn't look like that when booting. Maybe change your settings if you have some sort of widget/clock overlay thing. Try doing a clean boot to see if the...

This could also be a capacitor. Check your mobo and video card for bulging/leaking capacitors

I recently bought my computer when all this stuff started happening. The driver issue can be so random in nature, it can look like bad memory, bad power supply, bad cpu, etc. It really really sucked having a ghost driver issue when you just built your pc. I was thinking "oh great my memtest...

Just Got a black screen today. 20.2.2 seems more stable but still some issues

Oh no, I got the RX 5700xt just for vr. I am planning to purchase a vr headset. that does not sound good.

It is my belief that VR will push the standard from 8gb to 16 way before 8k tvs will. In my opinion 4k tv's will have a long run like 1080p did. 1440p will remain good enough for a great deal of people for monitors. That leaves VR to raise the bar earlier. Note that Texture space needs to be...

I have these memories of using render and cd burning software in the 90s and If I used the computer for anything else while it was rendering, even to the point where I let a screen saver activate, It could cause errors and artifacts in the final product. Even to this day I feel a little weird...

You know what the stupid thing is... These would of made a great prize for a cereal box, or perhaps could have been retooled to be a mod kit. We now talk about e-waste, but this story is like the grandfather of e-waste polluters. Moral of the story, don't ever bury a bad product without first...

All of them have different Strengths. I choose Steve for in depth stuff when it comes to performance. Linus is a good all a rounder that doesn't go into great depth but gives you a feeling for whats the latest and greatest. Though Linus went through a change where he tried to throw in adult...

Having usb 2.0 is probably due to the fact that not every device works perfect on usb 3.0. As long as there are 2.0 devices in the wild, I don't think they will completely phase them out.

Cloud ain't worth it, that is, until something like quantum internet comes out. And then there is the matter of cloud continuing the trend of removing your rights as a software owner. Oh and lets not forget the continuous trend of privacy invasion. Why do you think google is investing in this...

How many generations do cpu companies think ahead... I am willing to bet more than 3. Intel might be watching to see where AMD lands with its 4000 series. Based off of that data it just might skip a planned refresh or entire planed cpu generation to gain back some ground and stay ahead. I bet...

What do you think and Why?

We say "driver issues", but is there a possibility that there is some sort of fatal flaw in the hardware?

I'd wait for Amd and Nvidia to show their hand on the next card releases. You might have buyers remorse if you go 2080ti and both Amd and Nvidia blow it out of the water. At the very least if you wait to buy a 2080ti, the market will push down the price because of the new cards. Amd is going to...

One that I have run into more than once is.... THAT DARN GRAPHICS CARD RETENTION CLIP ON THE MOBO!!!! I have had that thing get stuck; it's either hard to get to or it doesn't function properly. Some campaniles especially prebuilts use their own style and they aren't always intuitive as to how...

Jurassic Park is still leaps better than almost all modern CGI. CGI isn't there yet, or if it is, these companies dont have the budget to make it as realistic as they could.

I never got to play FF VII, Should I play the original first or play this?

I've only seen 1080p 60hz rated ones... any suggestions?

I think part of their magic formula for making money is offering building services. It's like going to the movie theater and buying a 7 dollar ticket and then buying one soda for 5 dollars.

Someday I will get to travel to this most amazing place.

It could make you more vulnerable to attacks, but you could try disabling your meltdown and spectre patches using this tool. https://www.grc.com/inspectre.htm. It is also a good idea to check to see if you have any viruses and malware already that could be slowing you down. Note: I can't...

The prices do feel over inflated, but I suppose it's because the market is relatively new. That being said, it seems like we already have better technology and I find it lackluster and frustrating that these companies are using things like fresnel lenses. Everyone just wants the uniformity and...

I couldn't vote for mine since i have 128gb.... Just Kidding.
