Fury Nano: First results in!

Curious to see what this brings. The market has been pretty stagnant lately and it's hard to be excited about the current options at the current prices imo.

[TBG] EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti ACX 2.0+ 6GB Review (+OC)

It's been a while since I've used precision X. MSI Afterburner has been my tool of choice for a while. Perhaps someone who has used it recently could help.

290x Lightning as an HTPC card?

If you can put a 290x lightning in there you could use any custom card on the market. Good to know. Cool build anyway.

AMD R9 Fury reviews!

The Fury sure comes out strong in high resolution and especially in crossfire. XDMA and the hardware frame pacing sure has proven to be a strong advantage.

Rumor: AMD gets priority advantage to Hynix HBM2

Personally I doubt there will be a long period of exclusivity to AMD.

R9 290 or GTX 970?

290 for sure. 4 GB of usable ram without consequence and they are dirt cheap. 28nm is long in tooth and the 290 is by far the best value.

AMD R9 Fury X Coil Whine/Buzzing noise..

Pure FUD. I wouldn't accept it. I'd return it, just like all of the cards with coil whine.

AOC U2870VQE 4k - $349 (4k new price low!) & Samsung U24E590D - PLS/FreeSync $400

It depends, 28" is what I would consider my limit from experience or preferably 30"+ for the real estate to put documents side by side etc. but I think I'd like 24" with DPI scaling of 150-200% for windows and then have high resolution gaming. Have you tried a 24" 4k monitor? (or any size for...

Nvidia 980 ti / 980 price reductions due to Fury competition

:rolleyes: As if your statement held any more weight, why try discredit the poster. As to the OP, I think there may be a spec of truth, on the other hand the 980 has been disproportionately expensive for a mid-range card for a long time. On top of it all the drops are minor.

AOC U2870VQE 4k - $349 (4k new price low!) & Samsung U24E590D - PLS/FreeSync $400

That 24" has freesync too! $350-400 for 4k! Awesome to see some (official, beyond sales) price drops on new products. They are getting cheaper rapidly, last year the "new" low was $600 (now the AOC is $350). Exciting times as a high DPI enthusiast.

AOC U2870VQE 4k - $349 (4k new price low!) & Samsung U24E590D - PLS/FreeSync $400

That's true, however from my experience I'd rather have settings on high and use 4k than max settings on 1080p (for now, the next gen may already increase them another notch etc. since the monitor will outlive a gpu, perhaps several). Personally I think a single high end card will do the job...

4k Prices keep dropping. :thumbsup: The only thing missing is freesync. :P Edit: The $400 24" samsung has it! http://fudzilla.com/news/graphics/38196-aoc-unveils-new-budget-28-inch-4k-uhd-monitor http://us.aoc.com/monitor_displays/u2870vqe...

C# - Java

With a lot more time and experience I still have the strong preference for the concise and clean nature of C#, and I like where the (web ASP.NET webapi/mvc) direction is going. The whole ASP.NET rewrite that's coming out this year (ASP.NET 5) will probably change the performance aspects...
