    asus support recommended upgrading BIOS build 1 by 1 vs. jumping from oldest to newest build

    What the heck.. I upgraded my Z170 Pro from the firmware that shipped (0224 dated 2015/09/28) to the latest (2202 dated 2016/10/04) in one go and didn't have any problems.

    i7-6900k fail

    CPUs fail but from my experience at a fairly low rate based on my personal experience over 30 years of messing with PCs. I've had server CPUs fail and the replacement part be DOA.

    Buyer's remorse... GTX 1080

    I went from a mildly overclocked 2500k (4GHz) to a 6700k at stock speeds (haven't found a need to OC yet) and I do notice a FPS increase in some games I play.. however, it wasn't like my FPS were all shit to begin with. Plus, already having a Gync monitor smoothed out games that had FPS that...

    FS: i5-2500k 16GB DDR3 MSI Z77A-GD65 (SOLD)

    Selling my old system. Got a good price on a i7-6700k and I figured why not. I don't have the motherboard box or manuals anymore but not sure why you'd really need that. Comes with backplate and I can throw in some SATA cables if you care. Motherboard specs are here -...

    FS: EVGA GTX 980 SC (SOLD)

    Thanks! Honestly, I haven't had too much time to really test the difference but in the BF1 beta I did notice an increase in performance. Honestly, the 980 would have held me over (I game at 1440) but I got the 1070 at a good price so...

    FS: Dell Venue Pro 11" 5130 (w/keyboard)

    Selling my Dell VP 5130 Tablet. It comes with the keyboard that has the battery so you can get a legit 8+ hours on it. Win 8.1 Pro comes installed (w/SW key). Comes with charger and original boxes. New battery and system just back from service so there shouldn't be any problems but it also...

    Companies Must Reveal CEOs Pay Compared To Workers

    I haven't read the link but it will be interesting to see how they come up with it since some CEOs get stock options and don't necessarily draw a large annual salary.

    This is why Fury X can't ever touch Maxwell

    If you listen to the Techreport blog on youtube they mentioned the settings AMD used on the early benchmarks. As TR said, they change the game settings a real person would play the game. ie: turn up quality when it doesn't kill performance, enable AA, etc. So when he got very different...

    Suggested metric for future reviews: $/frame

    Doesn't techreport do something similar? They have their scatter plots of average fps/$ and 99th percentile/$ graphs.

    The second coming of Fury. Videocardz exclusive.

    If it performs at the same level as a 980 then they are charging too much.. Based on how the Fury X performed at lower resolutions vs the 980ti, I have a feeling this card will get beaten by the 980 at resolutions < 2560x1440.

    Upgrade from an SSD to a new SSD

    A while back I went from an first gen OCZ Vertex 120G SSD to a Sandisk Extreme 240G as my boot drive. Honestly, I didn't really notice anything other than having more room. Maybe there is/was a second or two difference in booting and loading some apps but it's nothing like going from a spinning...

    So I have a 780. is the 980ti a worthy upgrade path?

    Probably depends on what games you're playing, at what res, and what your expectations are. I went from a 780 to a EVGA 980 SC and for me it was worthwhile upgrade since I bought the card used.
