    AMD on Ray Tracing, NVIDIA Embracing FreeSync: "No Benefit Today," "We Were Right"

    In a related story, AMD has been stating the obvious for what they say is "years." Jensen Huang commented, but only little was understood of what was rambled on about. "She got me." Huang said as he wore his footy pajamas and curled up in the corner. "That mother fucker Su boomed me." Huang...

    AMD Cinebench Benchmark Demo at CES 2019 Buries the Current Intel Lineup

    Ryzen 3000 Processors Listed on Russian Retail Site

    HOLY SHIT this is getting out of hand. We aren't arguing gaming performance or daily use or what you should use or anything else. No, Ryzen does not suck at gaming, but it's not as good as Intel. Do you know WHY? Because the IPC is not the same, clock for clock. Intel is faster, at somewhere...

    Ryzen 3000 Processors Listed on Russian Retail Site

    I hope to hell that it's true. It won't be the first time AMD/ATI targeted the entry and mid level graphics market hard and lowered the price just to embarrass Nvidia. So I'm hoping for it.

    Ryzen 3000 Processors Listed on Russian Retail Site

    Yeah, I'm with you on this one. If they get within 5% of intels per core IPC it will be a huge win for AMD, and I think they'll be there this time around. Beating Coffee Lake though? Yeah, not gonna happen.

    Alphacool Eiskoffer Lucky Draw

    So I have this really cool Thermaltake Core P3 case that's all open air and stuff, which is screaming to have a hard tube custom loop. I have a Corsair H100i that just isn't doing it justice. This kit looks great, has everything you could possibly need to build a custom loop. So basically, my...

    Spectre Next Generation is Coming Whether we Like it or Not

    It is nice they are catching the vulnerabilities before they are made public though. Sure, I'm going to take my chances too, but the fact that we haven't seen these in the wild BEFORE they became known problems is a good thing.

    New Bill Would Stop States From Banning Broadband Competition

    See, I'm not reading that from here. There is no mention of rules or regulations set on private companies. I guess if said cable companies are making exclusivity contracts with the state, then sure. Even if that were the case, there's still the problem that the only thing being protected here...

    New Bill Would Stop States From Banning Broadband Competition

    Not entirely sure where you got any of that. Section 1: A state government can't regulate a local government (city, parish, indian tribe etc) from providing telecommunication services to it's locality. This is fine, I guess. In practice does it matter? How many local governments are...

    A Flat-Earther’s Plan to Launch Himself in a Homemade Rocket Just Hit a Speed Bump

    I fully encourage you guys to look into some of this crap. It's highly entertaining. Absolutely stupid, but also entertaining. Let me try and address a few things I've picked up from these nutjobs..... Imagine a flat disc, with a pole in the center rising from it. Attach a string to the...

    Intel Unveils the 8th Gen Intel Core CPU - Intel's Best Gaming Processor Ever

    So according to forbes, you can get a 4c/4t i3 for 167, which puts it right smack into r5 1400 territory, 6c/6t i5 will cost you 257 which is r5 1600 territory, and 6c/12t i7 for 359 which is exactly what r7 1700 is priced at. I really hope for that the per core performance is up so much that...

    iPhone 8 and iPhone X Don't Support T-Mobile’s New $8 Billion LTE Network

    V30 will be the first, as has been said already in this thread. Personally waiting on the G7, as it will also support the frequency. Kind sad to see the S8 didn't support it, as previous rumors said it would.

    AMD Radeon RX 580 PowerColor Red Devil Golden Sample

    Has anyone tested a 580 with a Ryzen? I'm seeing a bunch of reviews today but all of them with Intel cpus. I'm not implying that it will make a difference, but hey, you never know right?

    AMD Radeon RX 580 PowerColor Red Devil Golden Sample

    Yeah, was just reading the same thing. Not really surprising to be honest, it's essentially the same silicon. I'm not sure I would do it, as the 580 is the "optimized" version of the chip so it should theoretically handle the heat load better, but hey if it works and you can get the...

    AMD Radeon RX 580 PowerColor Red Devil Golden Sample

    Yeah, I feel like I'm in the same boat here. Feel like they missed a chance with the Ryzen release, the 480 and 580 are great and all but the 580 would have to be significantly cheaper than the 1060, by say 50 to 70 bucks, to be significant to me. Just think of the hype of a r5 and 580 rig...

    ATI R600 Confirmations on Size and Power

    Well, I install home theater systems for a living, and I gave up on the notion of computers being low powered LONG ago. For example, your typical 60" plasma television, with home theater a/v reciever delivering 140w x7 channels, 600w sub, with dvd player, cable/sattelite reciever and whatever...

    ATI R600 Confirmations on Size and Power

    I dont see what the big deal is with power. We are building computers already with 2 to 4 cpu cores, 2 video cards sometimes with 4 gpu cores, dual channel ram setups, 2 or more hard drives, why not 2 or more psu's? Honestly, I wouldnt care if I had to get a case that supported 2 psu's to have...

    BFGTech BFGR1000WPSU Review @ [H]

    If you cant find a review on a good power supply, then you either havent tried or havent read this thread. Now that the [H] is doing power supplies, it will be interesting to see what psu's can withstand the torture test they put them through, but I can pretty much say with full certainty that...

    BFGTech BFGR1000WPSU Review @ [H]

    So its a good 800 watts, assuming 80% effeciency that must mean it was pulling right around 1000 watts from the wall. Maybe THATS what they meant by a 1kw psu... Anyhow, wonderful review guys, defenitely a little long and drawn out on some things but hey, its more in depth than say a jonny...

    AMD board approves aquisition of ATi, Finally.

    I guess it's a small step in becoming more like intel. At least now they MIGHT be able to do some manufacturing of their own on some good chipsets. Think about it, the only reason Intel has the most graphics card market share is because they manufacture good, fully integrated chipsets. AMD...

    Firing Squid Wastes their Ink

    I hope and pray for the day that we become cpu bottlenecked. Graphics solutions have NEVER been up to par with cpu performance. Of course, you can bottleneck your gpu but you could never do it with current cpu tech. As it stands, most people will NEVER be at the point that they need more cpu...

    Firing Squid Wastes their Ink

    Now I'm a bit confused. If the [H] has the cpu's on hand and are testing them based on how we all play games, then how are they withholding the facts that they have? Now granted, they DIDNT test with SLI or Crossfire, or even a 7950gtx, but they did state the fact that those solutions would...

    Absurd: Anand overclocks conroe to 4+ GHZ easily on air
