https://www.anandtech.com/show/13252/hot-chips-2018-nanotubes-as-dram-by-nantero-live-blog The last I heard about this type of tech was sometime last year and my understanding was that it was going to be fabbed first party and rolled out on older, more accessible nodes and at very small...

George Takei. You're up to bat.

AutoCAD GPU - performance metric?

When considering how the GPU affects performance working in AutoCAD, I'm not entirely sure how to think about one card versus another. I'm taken to understand that AutoCAD uses double precision floating point calculations, so is it fair to say that the single precision processing power is not...

Chromecast Ultra?

@Kartajan Thanks for the reply. I did see that table and that it said no, but I was confused and figured it was a semantics thing because I thought it said it had an 85% in the DCI-P3 xy color space in the individual review. It turns out I had one too many tabs open and didn't notice I was in...

Chromecast Ultra?

I'm sorry for this much delayed response. With the holiday weekend, I was rather busy and didn't spend much of any time on the internet. My TV just arrived today at the office and I should be setting it up tonight; I haven't owned a TV in about 10 years since my 61" DLP was stolen and I'm a bit...

Chromecast Ultra?

So I've just bought a 4k TV online (Samsung UN50KU6300) and I'm now starting to think about what I will do for a media solution. I've not dealt with 4k video sources at all before and I'm finding the available options to be somewhat overwhelming. In my first few hours of surfing around about...

Nehalem i7 920 to Kaby Lake... upgrade or wait?

I agree with this. I think everyone feels this to a greater or lesser degree, but lately with the new gfx card die shrinks I've been kicking around the idea of a whole new system. This... is a really interesting idea. I may do just that.

Nehalem i7 920 to Kaby Lake... upgrade or wait?

For sure, that's the most rational thing to do. It's been 8 years since building a rig though and I have the itch. I don't think I will scratch just yet, but it's gnawing at me a bit now. I was hoping people might be able to point to some killer platform features that may be worth having in 7th...

Nehalem i7 920 to Kaby Lake... upgrade or wait?

I bought an i7 920 on release at the end of 2008. Over time I've upgrade my gfx card once (nV 260 to 580ti, due for another upgrade now...), added an SSD boot/app drive, and doubled my RAM to 12GB. I've honestly never felt like my system wasn't snappy. I don't really even feel like I need to...

[TomsHW] PCIe 4.0 - 32GB/sec over x16, 300-500W slot power

Not only were you wrong before, but that little back-of-the-napkin analysis you just made is horribly mistaken as well. You cannot exceed the power of your PSU -- a point I tried to make with the worst case scenario as described in my earlier 'wall of text' that you clearly either didn't read or...

Actually, he is wrong. First of all, we're talking about DC current here where the skin effect has no relevance whatsoever. And second of all, even if we were talking about AC current, at the frequencies and wire sizes being discussed, it would again have no relevance. The higher the frequency...

Okay. Let's look at that specification to which you refer and do that simple math, shall we? These figures are from the article, but it seems they're good estimates of usage at max load. But, no. You want to cherry pick the very most ludicrous, worst-case scenario of... 4x Fury X's. The...

Is it so hard to simply admit that you're wrong? Even fringe, super-enthusiast scenarios will never see hundreds of amps running through the mobo.

Trying to understand the decision; new card or no?

That's good to hear. I've heard the gfx update and additional gfx options plus farther draw distance with this new xpac has added some considerable load with everything turned on though. I'd like to be able to do that.

I guess that's not such a bad price point, but I've heard some unsettling things about power draw on that card. I'm definitely curious about the 470 as it stands now though. If I can get the thermals under control on my old card, I might just limp along until price and availability are more...

Trying to understand the decision; new card or no?

I don't have any interest in buying last generation at this point given the gains available from this latest jump to 16nm. It seems my 560Ti isn't too far beheind the curve of a 950 either. Also, WoW has gained a graphical update with Legion and a 950 will not give me good frames on max settings...

Trying to understand the decision; new card or no?

Yeah, I did check for dust and run some canned air into it to evict some bunnies when I first had the problem. I was hoping there might be some other avenues to go down before dissecting the card, but if not then oh well. My rig is getting a bit old now, but it still feels snappy. I built it...

Well, as the title says, I'm a bit lost. I recently started playing WoW again after an 8 year hiatus. I was content enough with my system for that, but then after a day or so of play my computer began to freeze. I figured it was my card (560Ti) and downloaded some monitoring software. It was...

It seems that the DVI connection on my monitor has crapped out. I don't know why it happened when the cat knocked out the power, but I'm sure it's either the connector on the monitor or the cable. I found an old DSUB cable and my converter and used the DSUB input on the back of my monitor. I'm...

Last year I had my 61" DLP and 42" LCD TVs stolen. Now that I'm buying my first home and moving to a nicer area, I'm once again willing to buy an expensive TV. Do any current gen TVs exist that have no discernible lag when compared to CRT TVs? My 61" DLP was a decent enough TV but it had...
