Question Significant gains with extra threads/cores (1080p): myth or reality?

Is this a joke thread? Is the OP trolling? Genuinely asking here, even when presented with evidence, OP refuses to concede for seemingly no reason at all. I'll bite and provide my own thoughts, even if OP is trolling, as others reading will still get proper info. As has been said and proven...

Question what was your first legit video card?

First one was an S3 Virge on our Pentium 133 and then later on I had an integrated SiS 310 on the SiS 630 chipset, but neither could be considered great for gaming by stretch of the imagination. The first discrete gaming card I bought was a PIxelview GeForce FX 5600 XT, a gigantic POS that I...

Discussion [TweakTown] Guerrilla dev: PS3's Cell CPU is by far stronger than new Intel CPUs

I'm fairly certain that the PS3 was initially going to have a GPU designed by Toshiba but it ended up having all sorts of issues and the RSX was apparently introduced at a somewhat late stage of development. Weird design either way, but man that article is just straight up weird.

[Videocardz] 1650 details

Nice to see the envelope pushed when it comes to 75W and below GPUs, but the pricing is just atrocious. Somewhat interested to see what a 1650 Ti can bring to the table, but I'd also love to see similar Navi offerings from AMD.

Replace an Abit KN9

Any particular reason why you're clinging to this board and AM2 platform in general? You could always go for a different AM2 board that you could find NOS. If there's no legacy support or other issue that makes you want to keep the AM2 system however, you should consider going for a new system...

Is there an RTX Titan due soon?

Doubtful. 2080Ti already uses TU102 and even if the moniker was not enough to justify this reasoning, I'm sure the size alone at 750mm2 means there isn't a bigger chip around the corner. In fact, some people are speculating that Nvidia probably wanted to brand the 2080Ti as the Titan of this...

Athlon 200GE - the ultimate great place-holder CPU?

lol I have no clue how you managed to come close to breaking the motherboard, but I assure you it is very easy to upgrade nowadays. Now, had you mentioned an Athlon XP CPU which had their dies exposed and easily chipped a.k.a destroyed... In fact, I don't understand your argument at all here, do...

Athlon 200GE - the ultimate great place-holder CPU?

You said it yourself, it is 100$. Lots of people went ahead and bought the G4560 and later the G5400 and paired them with decent dGPUs and they suit them fine and if the get a bit too long in the tooth they can always upgrade to a nice i5 8400 later for example. Same principle applies to the...

Athlon 200GE - the ultimate great place-holder CPU?

Sure, I'll explain. Let me preface this by saying that the iGPU is more than enough for any light office work, HTPC decoding loads etc. But, if I were to build a computer for a kid, I would certainly look into perhaps pairing this Athlon processor with a faster, dedicated GPU, such as a 1050, RX...

Athlon 200GE - the ultimate great place-holder CPU?

Yeah, it's too bad this isn't unlocked, it really would have made the Pentium chips irrelevant. Let's hope AMD is not considering locking newer CPUs as well. As far as performance, this lands exactly where I expected it and it's a perfect CPU for a family or office computer, I will have zero...

AMD 580/570 8gb or 1060 6gb for X plane 11?

Yes, both cards are neck and neck. Grab whichever one is cheaper, but do take a look at the AIB implementation, XFX is usually known and good quantity, but they have had some dud models. Some games the 1060 will be faster (especially UE4 games, such as Fortnite or PubG), some others Radeon will...

AMD Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 3 2200G APUs performance unveiled

Sweet little part, makes for a great entry level CPU and it also has a basic iGPU. I see it as a great replacement to the Stoney Ridge parts and it serves a great role as a daily driver for most people that want a computer that's fast enough for office work and the such. Using a CPU like this...
