Any news or even rumors of when 2060/2050 cards are coming? A friend on a budget is trying to decide whether to wait a bit or get a low-mid range card now.
Got to give some love to AsRock here from my personal experiences. I've had two of their boards that were not perfect but worked well overall.
One was the 775Dual-VSTA board that allowed you to use either AGP or PCI-E GPUs and either DDR or DDR2 memory. That got me through those transitions...
Triple the energy storage, faster charging, useful cold-climate performance--I would be willing to pooh-pooh it as more empty promises if not for it being the guy who developed the battery technology that currently powers most of our devices.
Imagine a Tesla with a 900-mile range. I used to do...
I may have missed something, but wasn't the AMD claim of 4%-8% gains implied to be in relation to the Crimson (pre-ReLive) drivers? If so, 5-6% improvement from Omega to ReLive would be rather disappointing, no?
I would just like to go on the record to say that, when i first heard of Hawaiian pizza, it sounded like an unholy abomination. Then I was prevailed upon to try it, and it has been a favorite ever since. I feel...so dirty...
I anticipate the 1080ti, primarily for downward price motion on the existing lineup. I have almost gotten all the life I can out of my current card and I want to upgrade, but I want to see prices about 10-20% lower before I do. A 1080Ti drop (and/or a strong showing from Vega) might be just the...
I take issue with much drone alarmism for this very reason, though. "A drone was spotted by a pilot only a few hundred yards away from the runway as he was landing..." The difference in scale is incredible. The chances of a drone causing ANY damage, let alone dangerous damage, is infinitesimally...
Given the context of this story, I thought you were talking about Bureau of Land Management protesters at first--maybe people who see fire retardant as an environmental contaminant or some such. Then I got it.
AMD has delivered value like this before. And they have made promises that turned out to be empty before. In recent history, more of the latter than the former. Perhaps we can all remember the promises of being 4K-ready that came with many recent products? Given that, I think proof will need to...
Well, I'll say this much--I got an open-box ASUS card for my last purchase--670 DCII 4 GB. It wouldn't even boot in my PC. I did an ASUS RMA and got a card back (not sure if same or not) that the mounting bracket was bent up like a pretzel. I was getting a little desperate, but I found the ASUS...
This video was fun and interesting, and Adam is a likable host as always, but it sure does carry a certain undertone of "The show that that made me rich and famous is over, and I will show up anywhere if you pay me. Please, somebody pay me!"
Living in non-KC-St.Louis Missouri has its drawbacks--high humidity in the summer, every allergen known to man, meth labs and their attendant social consequences, slow local availability (if ever) of cool tech toys--but high taxes and fees are not among them.
Kyle and Brent have noted more than once that the ASIC Quality stat in GPU-Z is a meaningless number. Unless that changes, I doubt they will bother reporting it.
Yes, you should. It's a well-written, philosphical examination of the value of games, and all throughout he defends them. The bulk of the commenters here either never read the article or are too dense to understand his points. Kinda sad. (Signed, an old gamer)
I still game at 1600x1200, and I'm still on a 670 as I work my way through FarCry3. It's an Asus DC2 4GB, so for my behind-the-curve gaming life it does well. After that, I picked up an el cheapo copy of Crysis 2 as a Christmas list item. I'm hoping by the time I finish those two titles, 1070's...
Review embargo lifts tomorrow. This is their attempt to squeeze just a little more ad-view blood from the crazed enthusiast turnip (yes, you resemble a turnip--don't try to hide, we all see you...)

So many levels of manure here. Where did the results come from? From the hedging about the clock speeds, doesn't sound like the site was reporting results from a card in hand.
Testing a 2016 card with 3DMark11? Relevance? Not my favorite game....
Their definition of "an OC'ed 980Ti" is at 1.8...
Well, I may have overreacted, but two examples that stood out to me were that 970s under $300 have disappeared and that all Titans are out of stock at NewEgg. :)
I would think this has a bright future, especially AR. I can see 5 years from now, everyone will be walking around with goggles, saying, "You mean you aren't reading your e-mails on one side of your FOV and news feeds on the other like everyone else? Get with it!" Like how life without a...
On both NewEgg and Amazon, prices are rising and more and more makes/models are going out of stock. Looks like they are clearing stock and trying to maximize margin before the big Pascal launch, which makes me think it may be very close.
Read a followup on Fudzilla just now that sheds some light.
So, estimated PC installs plus Playstation 4 gives AMD 83% of the POTENTIAL VR market, but the VR unit for the PS4 doesn't even come out until October. Taking only the existing installed base of PCs with GPUs that can handle VR...
Source is JPR, yes, but they are counting based on AMD's own "rules." How do they get "we are 83% of the VR market"? By counting all consoles that include AMD graphics without regard to whether or not those consoles have any VR hardware attached. It's a farce. The announcement was hosted by Roy...
Like many others, I played SS2 but never SS1. I switched over from Amiga gaming to PC right around the time SS2 came out. Still one of the best I've ever played. I would love to see how it all began.
One side-note that comes to mind: In Fred Saberhagen's Berserker stories, one of the creepy...
