980 vs 290x/390x any new set of benchmarks?

You know, its funny to see all the different ways history gets rewritten. It depends entirely on how the person decides they want it to go. So, 2014..... You might be surprised to hear that people were paying astronomical prices for the 290x. You forgot the 290x launch price was $550, but...

Yet another x58 thread

what are you working with? i you current cooler usable? the 5675 is 32nm, perhaps you can use your cooler if it is any good. I would not put a lot of cash in your old system. pick you up a 6core and ram. you dont need crazy expensive ram, it wont make any difference in your games. Also...

Yet another x58 thread

I am very much looking forward to Ryzen but such a definitive response seems premature to me. I think to be proper one must wait to make an assessment as such...when ryzen is actually here. an upgrade to the op current rig seems awfully easy and cheap to pull off. Regardless of ryzen.

[JPR] The balance of power in gaming

I guess, unless one was there.... I cant speak for the world, but from where I was the 5800 series launched with all the hype and excitement you could ever hope for. It made a splash, everyone was talking about them. But almost as soon as it launched, with glowing reviews which were jaw...

[TT]GPU shipments up 20.4% from last quarter, PC is strong

This data was from mercury research on the top line graph and the bottom chart was JPR, which were reported in articles from Aug 18-24 of 2015. I never took the data to mean anything other than shipments and believe they are reports just like we get today. Perhaps they were still phasing out...

[JPR] The balance of power in gaming

Absolutely not!! That is not how it works. Not at all how it works. Amd does not have to sell more cards than nvidia in order to gain marketshare in the quarterly report. For amd to even have a chance to have sold more gpus, they would have to have over 50% of the quarterly dgpu...

[TT]GPU shipments up 20.4% from last quarter, PC is strong

The channels being full explain very well the low dips we have seen in AMDs marketshare going back quarter to quarter, years back. The 18% dips which worked itself up over time. I am saying that, while sales dipped for them, I disregard the notion that only 18% were for amd in that quarter...

Perhaps it's time to put down the kool aid. We heard all that stuff about how amd made such huge strides in major architecture changes while Nvidia just relied on the node. It's ridiculous. You know, Nvidia and amd used the exact same 28nm node last gen and Nvidia had built a design that...

NEW PRICE GTX 970 : can RX 480 still beat it?

Using different reviews with a complete set of different games on different systems- not a good comparison at all. The next issue- the 270x was 130-140% the speed of a 7850 and 110-115% the 7870 at launch. Which means, it would have always been faster. Busting that bubble. Since there...
