  1. 1080Ti still shows us how bad the 2080Ti/2080 was

    I'm still chugging along with my 290 which I got for $255 back in Spring 2015. It has served me extremely well and only when I upgraded to 1600p ultra widescreen last year did I really start to feel the upgrade itch. Even today, since I don't play competitive FPS, basically everything is at...

  2. good case for top 280mm radiator

    I'm a big fan of Fractal Design. My R4 is great. I haven't used the Midi ARC 2 but I imagine it's a very solid case as well. I think you'd be good with almost any Fractal Design mid-tower. Having not used an ARC 2, I'd probably recommend the Define R5 or their newest case, the Define S, which...

  3. Disappointed by AMD

    I upgraded to the 290 in January (from a 560ti) and I'm very happy with my decision. Anyone 'scared' of spending $500+ on a graphics card (reasonably so!) just simply should not shop for those cards when they are released. After 1-2 years, that performance will be available at the $250-300...

  4. Cheap 500(480/512...) GB SSD Deal thread.

    I got the BX100 500gb a couple of weeks ago and it has been working great. I don't too much extreme with it but going from 128 to 500 has been great for my Steam library. Fwiw, I got it from Ncix when it was $175, but it also came with a $20 gift card as I was a new customer. So while it is a...

  5. QNAP TS-251 2-Bay NAS for $249.99 - Regularly $329.99 - Expires Today 3/30

    I don't consider myself an expert, but at a quick glance here are what I see as the main differences: QNAP on left, Lenovo on right Intel Celeron J1800 2.41 GHz vs Marvell 1.3 Ghz processor 1GB RAM (upgradeable to 8gb) vs 256MB RAM (Idk about upgrades) Edited to add: Data transfer on QNAP is...

  6. QNAP TS-251 2-Bay NAS for $249.99 - Regularly $329.99 - Expires Today 3/30

    I don't use the HDMI out but my understanding is that it works pretty well. I'm pretty sure the software that it uses is XBMC and it does not have issues playing (almost) all file types at resolutions up to 4k (and I guess beyond?). The only 'downside' to this NAS is that it's not able to...

  7. Do a NVMe pci-e ssd require motherboard support for NVMe to use it?

    misread post

  8. QNAP TS-251 2-Bay NAS for $249.99 - Regularly $329.99 - Expires Today 3/30

    One of the better performing 2-bay NAS is on sale today. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822107170. Use coupon code AFEX330A for $80 off. I have the TS-451 (which I got for $350) and it works really well for me. If you only need 2 bays this is a good deal.

  9. Looking for NAS opinions/recommendations

    I think if you're looking for something simple that model will probably work just fine. When I did my research a few months ago most people recommended Synology or QNAP, primarily for the software ecosystems. Nothing has really changed in the last few months so if you're in a hurry I suggest...

  10. upgrade now or wait

    One can take issue with Russian's verbosity, prolificness, and occasional tone, but that doesn't make him wrong (at least on this subject). Shady on the other hand, I'm not sure I've seen a post that wasn't filled with FUD, misdirection, or willful ignorance. Member callouts will not be...

  11. upgrade now or wait

    I hate to be a thread crapper or come off like a jerk but your AMD CPU combined with an Nvidia 960 is about the least cost effective gaming machine you can build, no matter what parts you have repurposed. I too find it curious that OP claims to want to spend $3k in 2 years for a massive...

  12. Define R4--Blackout vs. Black Pearl

    The R5 wasn't available when I purchased my R4, but if I was buying today and the pricing was $110 for the R5 and $80 for the R4 on sale (which is a common situation), I'd probably still go with the R4. While $30 isn't a lot of money, the R4 will most likely do everything you need it to do at...

  13. GTX 960 is expected to launch next month.

    While this is reasonable, I'm not quite sure I agree as many games that have been released on the XBone and PS4 are still being released on the older systems. IMO, once developers are able to fully leave those old systems behind, the lowest common denominator of performance will increase, and...

  14. [Newegg] MSI Lightning R9 290x - $300 AR

    Nice deal. And hmmm. I recently got and am using my Sapphire Tri-X 290 which I got for $240 AR a couple of weeks ago when the Visa Checkout deal was going on. This deal and news of possible additional price drops on the 290/x 'scare' me a bit but I think I'm just going to keep this card no...

  15. GTX 960 is expected to launch next month.

    I'm not about to call people out by name but even 1 person misconstruing information on a site as good as this is not healthy for the board, IMO, and they deserved to be shouted down with more accurate information. Fans of both sides are guilty of cherry picking benchmarks and promoting...

  16. GTX 960 is expected to launch next month.

    I agree some (most?) of Russian's rhetoric is strong, but I think it's reasonable to be suspicious when a large number of people who claim to be unbiased are trying REALLY hard to obfuscate the disappointment of the performance of the 960. I'm not saying this is you, but there are definitely a...

  17. Sell my gtx 770 for gtx 960

    As someone who recently purchased one of those 290s on sale (I went with Sapphire, but day-to-day any of the Asus/MSI/Sapphire cards might be the best deal and are fine cards), I naturally think it's the best option in the $250 range. Just make sure the model you purchase fits in your case...

  18. GTX 960 is expected to launch next month.

    While the above may or may not be accurate, those are the types of arguments one must work hard to promote when you can't win the price/performance battle. The 960 isn't a 'bad' card, it's just not as good as others on the market at a similar price for most people considering buying a videocard...

  19. GTX 960 is expected to launch next month.

    While cards often do sit at MSRP for a while following launch (some actually even increase in end-user price if demand is high), some cards are released and they set a new status quo for price/performance. The 970s in your sig are an example of that as it led the 290s to drop about $150 since...

  20. GTX 960 is expected to launch next month.

    I did purchase very recently (your post followed mine so while not quoting mine seemed to be somewhat of a response, so I added to the conversation. I didn't take your comment as a 'jab' or anything and I hope you don't take my comments too personally either). I will agree with those who say...

  21. GTX 960 is expected to launch next month.

    If buying today, who cares what the price is in 2-3 months? The reality of the situation on January 24th is that the 290 is the price/performance king by a fairly wide margin. The 960ti will have a chance to claim that title (it will likely have great power consumption as well), but then again...

  22. GTX 960 is expected to launch next month.

    I've had Nvidia cards the last 2 generations (8800gt and 560ti) and just made the move to the 290 rather than purchase a 960 (not enough performance) or 970 (too expensive compared to the 290s currently on sale). Unless you're unable to get the same prices as most people in the US, or have...

  23. [Newegg] Sapphire Tri-X OC R9 290 - $260 AR

    Now available at Newegg for $238.98 when using Visa Checkout, http://promotions.newegg.com/nepro/15-0258/index.html?. I finally bit after hearing more rumors/news of the Nvidia 960 being underwhelming price/performance wise.

  24. GTX 960 is expected to launch next month.

    With the 960 looking like it's not an option for 1440p, I finally bit on a Sapphire Tri-X 290 for just under $240 shipped (at Newegg AMIR and Visa Checkout). I agree with those on this thread who think that the 290s are the price/performance king right now, especially at 1440p. No more iGPU for...

  25. Crucial Announces MX200, BX100 SSDs

    http://www.anandtech.com/show/8861/crucial-announces-mx200-bx100-ssds-ssd-toolbox Availability will be later in this quarter. MSRPs for the MX200 are $140 for 250GB, $250 for 500GB and $470 for 1TB. MSRPs for the BX100 are $70 for 120GB, $110 for 250GB, $200 for 500GB and $400 for 1TB...

  26. GTX 960 is expected to launch next month.

    I just posted a comment on alienbabeltech asking if they'd consider doing this test again with newer games. Haven't seen Apoppin around here much anymore so I guess he's "all in" on his own site.

  27. Questions about a home NAS

    Lots of good posts in this thread. I recently purchased a QNAP TS-451 as I found it on a great sale ($350). I was also considering similar Synology units. Here's the anandtech review for the 451: http://www.anandtech.com/show/8298/qnap-ts451-bay-trail-nas-performance-review. If you look at...

  28. Does it make sense to buy Haswell now?

    It's all about finding the right balance for each build, but it can be tough sometimes (hence all this discussion). And everyone has moments where their eyes are bigger than their stomach/wallet. At the end of the day though, we're all talking about great CPU tech and even the 'worst' decision...

  29. Does it make sense to buy Haswell now?

    You say "bare minimum" as if it's a slight, when in reality it is "plenty of enough power" for less money which let's you spend more money on a graphics card, which will always be the better way to spend money for gaming.

  30. Does it make sense to buy Haswell now?

    I think if you often run multi-threaded applications where a 6core CPU offers >25% improvement over a 4core, then the 6core is likely a good/great purchase for you. And I don't think anyone in this thread is really claiming otherwise. However, most people don't use highly MT apps, and especially...

  31. Does it make sense to buy Haswell now?

    I literally have this tab open and I refresh it like 10 times a day lol: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...20141229210826. I also think a 960 release might push the price point a tiny bit down as well, even if/when the 960 is outperformed by the 290 price/performance wise. Ok sorry back on...

  32. Does it make sense to buy Haswell now?

    Back in July, I was able to get the 4790k at MC for $280. And then my mobo was $150 rather than $185. And then my ram was $150 rather than $175. So, that's more like a $250 difference, which is about the price of a 290 which would let me play many games at 1440p. The 4790k definitely has a place...

  33. Case reccomendation, I have a few in hand to chose from on a new build

    I had a similar concern and posted about it a while ago. Here's that thread: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2388108. With the R5 out now, perhaps Fractal Design would be willing to send you some new R4 feet for free too, but who knows.

  34. Official Destiny Thread

    Super Good Advice: For Eris' bounties where you need to kill hive with a sword, redo the first Eris mission (only recently made available to redo). There is a swordbearer near the beginning and enough hive to kill with the sword. Another piece of SGA: you can run through the first section of...

  35. Crucial MX100 256GB SSD $98.99

    The 512GB version is available from TigerDirect for $170 using Visa Checkout: http://slickdeals.net/f/7525398-crucial-mx100-series-512gb-ssd-169-99 Am I cheap that I'm waiting for the 512GB to drop to $150? I'm still using a 128gb but it works just fine...

    Hope you'll have some great news to share! Thanks for your great work.

  37. NAS for media server

    If you're comfortable with your file server being the size of an ATX case, then that is definitely an option. You'd also have to figure out and maintain a software solution for backups, mobile access, etc, which would take time and/or money. I think FreeNAS seems to be people's favorite...

  38. NAS for media server

    I wish I had it too! If my order is cancelled (not anticipating it, but it's possible), I'm not quite sure what I would do. The top chart on this page from Anandtech's review of the 415+ compares the HD Video playback performance of the 415+ and the TS-451...

    Anandtech posted a holiday guide for NAS's: http://anandtech.com/show/8789/holiday-guides-2014-cots-nas-units Made me feel good about going with the TS-451, but I definitely think I'm going to upgrade the ram (my version comes with only 1gb). Not sure I need to go all the way to 8gb, but it...

  40. Case reccomendation, I have a few in hand to chose from on a new build
