  1. Is buying a new GTX 1080 worth it now or wait for Volta?

    Interesting discussion here. Thanks guys. I particularly liked Guru's take and the laying out of the reasons for predicted performance improvement.
  2. Is buying a new GTX 1080 worth it now or wait for Volta?

    1080 is pretty close to its $500 MSRP...
  3. Is buying a new GTX 1080 worth it now or wait for Volta?

    Thinking of upgrading to the 1080 from R9 290. I am gaming on a 34" ultra-wide 1440x3440 right now and the 290 seems to not quite cut it in many places. With selling my current card plus selling Destiny 2 looks like I can nab the 1080 for $300-330 net. But would be silly if I got this and then...
  4. The "Core 2 Quad" club

    Yep, I know exactly how you feel. It's a strange place to be in in the computer world, when a 6-year-old chip is basically the same as the latest and greatest, unless you go for something with more cores and have a workload that can actually take advantage of them.
  5. The "Core 2 Quad" club

    The real chip with longevity is the i7 2600k. It's about to turn 6 years old and it can still match modern chips' performance. When OCed, it will come close to matching stock i7 6700k. It eats all games and reasonable prosumer workloads with not trouble. And that is likely to remain the case for...
  6. Where to get new PC from?

    I just checked out the pugetsystems website. Wow, building your own is so much cheaper...
  7. My Predictions for Microsoft

    Not really sure where this thread is coming from. 1. MSFT has stated that their plan is to iterate Windows 10 a la Mac OS X. For the foreseeable future Windows 10 is going to be the main MSFT OS. 2. Developing new OS and losing support for all current Windows software? That should go over...
  8. Macbook Pro extension base

    I would never travel with something like this. At home, a far better solution would be the ports in a Thunderbolt display and a NAS setup for extra storage.
  9. Macbook Pro extension base

    It's a magical transformation that turns 2016 MBP into 2010 MBP ;)
  10. Is it worth it to upgrade Samsung 1TB 840 EVO to 960 EVO?

    I am building a new machine based on Broadwell-E and initially thought that this was a no brainer upgrade. However, based on reviews from Anandtech, random read, which impacts how quickly programs are opened and how quickly the system loads, has barely moved from 95 MB/s to 110 MB/s. Sequential...
  11. New Zen microarchitecture details

    I would be too, but I am also cautious after the promise versus reality of Phenom and Bulldozer.
  12. Back at it again! 4k or 1440

    I ended up going with 1440 BUT, I went for a the Dell 34" 3440x1440. Windows support for 4k displays is just too inconsistent for me to go that route.
  13. How to convert Word doc to PDF file

    Just save as PDF. You can select the format you save as using the drop-down menu at the bottom of the save as window.
  14. Anyone upgrading their iPad Air to iPad Pro 9.7?

    The new screen and general operating smoothness are a huge improvement, but my concern would be the longevity of the new iPad with its 2GB of RAM. I would prefer for the new iPad to last a while...
  15. The "regular" MacBook makes the MacBook Air look like Fred Flinstone's abacus.

    That keyboard is definitely not the future. It's a compromise forced by the small form factor. Just because the low profile, low travel keys from the other MacBooks are common on laptops these days and people are used to them, does not mean that I find my desktop mechanical full keyboard...
  16. The "regular" MacBook makes the MacBook Air look like Fred Flinstone's abacus.

    While I do like the display and the form factor on the new MacBook, there are a few issues that make it a no go for me: 1. The processor is way too weak. 2. The keyboard is very uncomfortable. 3. Complete lack of ports. In particular, I don't like the lack of a Thunderbolt port since I really...
  17. Wow, Apple upgrade prices when ordering iMac are absurd

    I was considering getting a 27" iMac for my wife and was checking out the different loadouts on them. To go from 8GB memory to 16GB is $200 when the entire 16GB kit probably costs about $50-$70 retail. Fusion drive to 512GB SSD is $200 when that's around the retail price of a top of the...
  18. Interface lag in Office 2016

    Safe mode has no effect on this in my testing.
  19. If Apple was a democracy

    You are right, Apple deserves no credit for completely changing how smart phones look and function.
  20. Skylake Mac mini...

    Yeah, for every day computing, there is little reason to upgrade the CPU. Memory and hard drive are another issue entirely. More RAM and a SSD (especially the latter) are huge upgrades for an older machine.
  21. Why does android gaming suck so bad?

    Some ported games turned out well, such as FTL and xcom enemy within. They aren't that great on tiny phone screens though. On the iPad on a plane they are great though. Most of the rest and the typical mobile games are utter garbage though.
  22. Apple posts first negative year since 2008, 2016 looks grim

    Considering how profitable Apple is, it has plenty of capital and room to weather the industry slowdown. Given how enormous it is though, it is hardly surprising that in a slow market year it is no longer growing 50% per year. I would expect its growth to slow to somewhere around the growth rate...
  23. 9/29 Google Press Event Discussion (Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X)

    Who are all the people buying multiple phones in the same generation (or apparently different versions of the same phone generation and family)? Also, are these the same people who complain that iPhone costs too much?
  24. Do alot of people buy a used GPU & CPU?

    Are they working for you without a problem? If yes, then they are in a good condition! I would expect zero questions on eBay from your buyers. You list it, say a few words, and wait a week for it to sell. I sell quite a lot of my used stuff on eBay. It's an incredible tool to reduce the cost of...
  25. Will Apple become the only remaining smartphone manufacturer in the coming years?

    It's certainly true that other companies suck at making money on their phones compared to Apple.
  26. Gah!!! OneDrive is infuriating!!

    Uh dude, there is a One Drive folder on your computer. Drag and drop your pictures in there, walk away for some hours while the entire 100GB uploads, and you're done. This has got to be the easiest thing to ever.
  27. Do You Like your Nexus 5X? Is there one hand operation?

    It's baffling to be that Android phones, after all these years, still lag and jag like all hell. I looked at all sorts of Android phones having used Android exclusively for all my phones. Looks like it's time to go iPhone though.
  28. Is it worthwhile to upgrade to GTX 780ti from Sapphire custom OC R9 290?

    I love the online paranoid contingent that somehow thinks that internet forums are infested with disguised employees of tech companies.
  29. Is it worthwhile to upgrade to GTX 780ti from Sapphire custom OC R9 290?

    My issue with that I would also need to upgrade the power supply since my current one is a 620W Corsair. Outside of costing money for 800W+ to run dual R9 290s, it is also extremely annoying to rewire the entire interior of the PC :). Plus there are the dual card issues that I don't really feel...
  30. Is it worthwhile to upgrade to GTX 780ti from Sapphire custom OC R9 290?

    Yeah purely looking purely at performance, it looks like the GTX 980ti (especially with 10%+ factory OC, most of which seems to scale almost linearly with game performance) is a huge upgrade from R9 290. On average it looks to offer a 50% to 70% improvement in frame rates. I guess my main...
  31. Is it worthwhile to upgrade to GTX 780ti from Sapphire custom OC R9 290?

    I recently got a 34" ultra wide screen, so the resolution I'm working with is 3440x1440. I am looking at the GTX 780ti that's custom OC and actually offers 10%+ improvement even compared to the stock 780ti...
  32. 6700K price going up??? Now $399.99 @ Newegg

    Real question is why no stock cooler on Skylake?
  33. Time For New CPU?

    I would avoid replacing an i5 with an i3.
  34. ipad mini 4 or ipad air 2

    I would be a little surprised if it takes that long. It seems silly to have an A9-based chip in the iPad Pro and the iPhone but not in the iPad Mini or Air. When I had to replace my iPad Air 1 due to a cracked screen (at least we know my wife's diamond ring is real!!) I had the option to...
  35. OS X Dock really needs an update

    Hyperdock definitely looks interesting--will try it out. Expose is great, and I absolutely loved it on the Mac. I even remember how MSFT tried to do an Expose without copying it outright, and came up with the pathetic flip 3d. However, with the addition of the exact copy of Expose in Windows...
  36. ipad mini 4 or ipad air 2

    I think wait a bit until the refresh when iPad Air and mini get the A9-based CPU.
  37. iMac 4K & 5K updates

    Yeah this refresh with its unbalanced (quite honestly, just shitty components for the price) for the entry-level models, combined with a ridiculous markup on upgrades makes the desktop Mac a pretty hard pill to swallow this refresh. Take the upper tier version, it retails for $2300 and starts...
  38. Is it time to upgrade?

    I am in a similar situation to you, as I am running i7-2600K. While it's a little more powerful, the difference is not terribly large. Currently with a modest overclock, I can basically match i7-6700K performance in many cases. In games, the bottleneck is still the GPU since I game at 2560x1600...
  39. New Magic Keyboard/Mouse/Trackpad

    Also, why does Apple have the number pad and a comfortably large keyboard? It's a mystery to me why their wireless keyboard is more cramped than most laptop ones.
  40. So what's up with thunderbolt?

    Works great for the Apple Thunderbolt display since they ensure their laptops match it on the other side. Outside of that, probably will never be used for anything ever.
