"The only exiting aspect of its design is that 4x PCIe lanes have been added to the chipset bringing the total PCIe lane count of the platform to 30 from 24 on the outgoing Z170 chipset." 4 + 24 = 30? I've read three sites discuss the Z270 chipset today - HardOCP, Arstechnica and Tech Report -...

Thanks for the review. From the review: I think the conclusion is odd. The benefit of async compute is discounted because it doesn't enable a last gen 28nm card to beat the latest 16nm card? This seems to be an impossibly high bar to set. The question is not whether Fury X with async...

For sale, Asus RT-AC87R router - [strike=option]$140[/s] SOLD Item is in like new condition and comes in the original box with all accessories (even the plastic box wrapping!). See photo here: This is a 4-antenna, dual band AC2400 class router rated with throughput speed of 600 Mbps...

I had a Dell P2715Q with very similar symptoms to what you're seeing. The mini DP mode would be dark while HDMI would be fine (I couldn't switch to DVI because my video card doesn't have a DVI connection). It was very frustrating. Ultimately, I discovered that the defective gear wasn't the...

Price reduced on the 2500k.

Bump.

Morning, 2500k and AC66U router still available. Thanks for looking!

Yes, it comes with the shroud and reference fan. The dimensions of the card are 10.9" x 4.2" x 1.3" (L x H x W). Here's a link to the Asus product page for the card should you want some more specs and info: http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/HD79703GD5/ Asus 7970 is sold, the 2500k and AC66U...

Update on what I thought were defective Displayports on my P2715Q - after receiving a refurnished replacement that had the same "no video signal" problem, I discovered the cause of all my problems was the Dell mini DP cable. Out of ideas, I swapped out the Dell mini DP cable that had come with...

Tried it, no luck for me. Did you leave it unplugged for a while? I pulled it for a couple seconds. I get the Dell logo as it powers up but no desktop, just the on screen msg about no dp detected. I'll try leaving it unplugged for a couple minutes. Even if it works, I think I'll go ahead...

Well, my issue with Displayport window resizing has cascaded to dead Displayports. No video signal through either the Displayport or mini Displayport connections on the monitor. Just a black screen even during the BIOS boot stage. At first, I thought it a dead boot drive then I figured out...

I was only able to get the monitor to wake from deep sleep by uninstalling the Dell monitor device driver. The monitor woke properly from sleep with the generic Windows PnP monitor driver so I thought the Dell monitor driver was at fault. However, since I installed Nvidia driver 347.52, the...

Bad luck of the draw - I received a revision A01 monitor today and it is has a yellowish tint to the screen that the A00 doesn't. Both are free of any dead pixels so I think I'm going to send back the A01 monitor and keep the A00. The problem with the A00 monitor not waking up from deep sleep...

Just to be clear for anyone interested, the $432 price with the coupon code is for the P2415Q monitor. The code also works with the P2715Q monitor as an additional 10% off coupon. Dell has the P2715Q on sale for $600 right now ($100 off its list $700 price) so the coupon code takes off another...

I'd be very interested to hear from anyone with the window resizing problem and the A00 version who got an A01 replacement and whether it went away. I've had my A00 monitor for just over two weeks and may do a replacement just to try to get an A01 revision to test myself but it'd be nice to...

Thank you! I can also report that the registry fix outlined by altano prevents the resizing of open windows after the monitor wakes from sleep. Here is a description of the solution from a post on Nvidia's forums - it basically duplicates what altano says but in a little more detail for those...

I have this exact same problem on a new computer connected to an Asus 980. I'm using the mini-DP that came with the monitor. Would switching to a DP-to-DP cord make any difference? I know mini-DP connector is functionally identical to DP but I'm just trying to figure out how to stop this or...

Not yet if only because it's so difficult to reach them to cancel. I am waiting to get a new estimate of when the monitor will actually ship - of course, chat couldn't help me with that either, this question requires an investigation by the so-called "back end team" which takes 24 hours, of...

Regarding this actual deal - what a nightmare dealing with Dell customer support. Is it always this bad? Haven't ordered anything from them in years or had cause to interact with them until today. There's three hours of my life I won't get back. Placed an order yesterday with next day...

Mainly size and panel type. The Samsung is 28" and a TN panel, the Dell is 27" and IPS. The Dell has 5 USB ports (4 USB 3.0 downstream, 1 USB upstream) while the Samsung doesn't have any USB ports. The Dell can be swiveled into portrait mode, the Samsung can't. Both support single stream...

I'm tempted by the MSI Z97 MPower. The black and yellow color scheme looks great, very Ferrari-like. The only things are no SATA Express (wish it had at least one in case SATA Express takes off, no guarantee it will but would be nice to have the interface in case it does and if it doesn't, you...

Prices have leaked and while the Deluxe with NFC, wireless charger and Thunderbolt card that's reviewed here is $400, the Z97 Deluxe without them is $289. Still not cheap but not $400. Also, the chart in the review is wrong, the Z97 Deluxe does support 802.11ac (dual band). The screenshot of...

I'm surprised that no one has posted that the benchmark graph from AMD includes another column. The numbers being posted are for the card in "Quiet Mode" but there's a second mode whose name and results are blurred out. It seems likely the column is for overdrive mode: If the column is...

What's so bizarre is why. If I owned a 780 or Titan, nothing about the 290x or 290 deprecates the performance of the Nvidia card, even if the most favorable rumors about the AMD cards turn out to be true. Unless you must have the single absolute fastest card in your system at all times, the...

I'm not self-righteous and arrogant enough to swagger around with a fanatical certainty about a product that hasn't been released or credibly benchmarked but it's seems worthwhile to quote some of your recent posts: I don't have a bone in this fight since there's no way I'm paying these...

No one in the real world cares about the back story. Does anyone say this - "Yeah, I'm not interested in Android phones because it took four years for Google and Samsung to catch up with Apple and iOS." "Yeah, I passed on the Xbox 360 and One because the first Xbox console got thrashed by...

The problem is, there's a sense that some of these issues are unpatchable because they are fundamental limitations to the game's engine. To fix it, you'd have to produce a new game. Here's what Eurogamer's editor said in comments as follow up to their 4/10 review: And that's echoed by...

I'm not a defender of Maxis - see my other posts - but did she ever say a single city's sims was done on servers? Here's her blog post from December 2012 discussing the Glassbox Engine and the role of the servers (emphasis added are mine): When she talks specifically about what's done on...

While your reply accurately reflects how Maxis see things, it misses the point. If you build a game that needs to be online to run, well duh, it needs to be online to run. That's a tautology. But that's not the question. Folks aren't asking Maxis why the game as designed needs to be online...

Maxis said last year this is how it would work. Here's an interview Rock, Paper, Shotgun did with designer Stone Librande a year ago: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/03/28/first-look-simcity/ Librande explicitly said each Sim would not retain or remember its previous daily routine. The...

No one outside Maxis even knows how much work is being done on servers vs. local computer (Maxis has said some computation is definitely being done locally). No one - perhaps not even Maxis - knows whether they could have engineered a game that ran just fine on local computers with the...

You may be thinking of the refund policy that applies to physical goods. EU buyers have 14 days to return goods and the seller must refund delivery charges as well. It's a different story for digital purchases - EU consumers don't really have any more protections than Americans. Here's a...

Polygon had one of the most effusive reviews and gave the game a 9.5/10 on launch day. After the trouble started, they bumped it down to 8. They've now revised the review score a second time and dropped it to a 4 after Cheetah speed and other features pulled because they say it's made the game...

Just happened to head over to Amazon and noticed that Sim City is again available for download. But there are some caveats: - only the standard edition is available for download. The limited edition still can't be downloaded though the box limited edition version can be bought and shipped...

Have you tried this from a post in the Tech Report forums: http://techreport.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=68072&sid=afc2679ef39fabfc87ce9c72e379c395&start=60 Sounds like a crapshot and about as far-fetched as rubbing your tummy and patting your head while you spin around but hey, it worked...

These two things don't match. I got one of these emails too and the email says someone ASKED to reset your password and provide a link where you go to actually go ahead and change the password. The password doesn't get changed unless you complete the second step to authenticate the password...

If you've been playing a lot and advancing steadily, you should get a lot of gold just from finishing the personal stories and the heart-shaped tasks on the map. Have you check your in-game mail in the upper left corner? Each time you finish a personal quest, you get a thank you mail that also...

I went there but after I enter the serial code, it starts to create a whole new account name for me with the automatically appended numbers. There's no way to use the account name that I have from the head start period. Am I going to lose my character that I've been playing for the last 3...

Now that the game is officially out, how the heck do you apply the serial code in the box to a pre-purchase account? There appears to be no way to do this that I can figure out, even though Arenanet sent an email saying we have two days after launch to do this. Thanks for the instructions...
