Anandtech vs Tom's Hardware Folding@Home Coronavirus Race thread

I just started this folding@home, wasn't picking up a task initially but I hear my GPU's spinning up. I'm guessing it's working now? I also presume as long as my GPU's are increasing in that % that the %'s are meaning some form of work is being done. I'll leave it on tonight and see what...

Is 76°C a too hot idle temperature for my radeon r9 380?

Crossfire 280X's, idles at 40, loads 72 Celsius. I'd say check your fans and of cooling paste to make sure it's not dried up

The Division(Crossfire Support?)

Crossfire for my 280X'a work on high/ultra, problem is I can't run the game game full screen at 1080p/144Hz, crashes every time, I'm borderless windowed and therefore stuck at 60HZ and vsync :(

Apple Music: I don't want you on my iPhone.

i use the free "Denon music player app", it has includes a graphical equalizer if you want (for an additional $2), but I stopped using it because the power drain was much higher than apple's music player. Then again, I usually use the music app/listen to music when connected to my car. Note...

RX 480 vs GTX 1060 (same price)

OP: I'm personally biased against pascal, as I feel that it's not a significant architectural change from maxwell, and that the pascal cards are really just benefitting from higher clocks due to the manufacturing process (node shrink). Disclaimer: I am slightly pro-AMD, as my experience with...

EXP GDC Laptop External Video Card Dock

Lapdesk11, please refrain from making 3 forum topics trying to address the same question. Face2Face has the correct answer and solution: your dell has a ExpressCard 54 plug in solution that will work with http://www.gearbest.com/laptop-accessories/pp_229102.html . The problem lies in the fact...

iPhone 7

Eug, I checked out the iPhone 7's @ the Edmonton Apple store today (again) - The camera hump is bigger than ths 6 series. I was a little disappointed in the haptic feedback at first, but my second visit today (first visit yesterday) allowed me to investigate the haptic home button press. In the...

whats needed for a External graphics card for a laptop

Gaming or work? If gaming, Thunderbolt enclosures seem to be the best bet, but the cost (as well as hardware support) is so prohibitive that you might as well build a dedicated rig. As for work, I'll re-look at this and post later.

Guidance needed

Vegas Pro is a more compute than graphics intensive IIRC, which would traditionally favour AMD cards. Not familiar with Adobe fireworks. With a budget around $250, I'd probably recommend the AMD 480 @8GB since u'll be video editing. edited: oops, it looks like the 480 beats the 290X on...

RX 480 not an acceptable upgrade from my GTX 780

I think your comparison isn't a very fair one. You have an older top tier card and you're looking to "upgrade" two tiers down - granted prices this generation are considerably more than before, but anything short of the same tier upgrade is really a side grade - say you get the 1070, are you...

[TPU] 1080 TI specs leaks

It's pure supply and demand folks. Obviously, they're shifting their S&D curve. The few sales they've lost to higher prices have been made up by their higher revenue. So long as there is demand, prices will remain as they are. It's the basic fundamental principles of a capitalist economy

How do Android users feel about high-end Android phones losing performance battles against iPhones?

Unfortunately, a perfect eye has an arc minute of 0.4, while the average person is 1 (I wear glasses, and I have stigmatism and therefore greater than 1). 1.0 arc minutes can discern at most 300PPI at 1 foot. An adult forearm by rough estimations is approximately a foot. If you hold your phone...

Now that Apple has officially angered me ...

I'm surprised by the amount of responses on this thread in regards to using iPhones in cars with AUX. BT transceivers with A2DP can come @$20-30, with some giving pretty good sound quality. I just plug my phone in, hang it on my magnetic dock, and BT connect, which is nice as anyone in my car...

iPhone 7

They already do have cases, but they're super bulky and usually in the price range of $400-600 (because of the shielding, otherwise phone calls and texts would interrupt your music with that beeping modem noise). I think if I was going to spend that much of a DAC/AMP for my iPhone specifically...
