Must vary a lot country to country cause in Australia the difference between Tomahawk's and preorders for Tomahawk Max's is $10AUD(about $7US) which is a 6% increase.
It's probably worth waiting for the b450 Tomahawk Max to hit the market, some people have apparently gotten them (in Singapore I believe) so they should be around pretty soon. The only difference is the 32MB bios but that means you don't lose overclocking profiles and fan curves which the 16MB...
Thought that might have been optimistic :P
Honestly the fact that people can delid without destroying the damn things (CPU's in general that is) impresses me so much I try not to take anything for granted in the 'no way that could happen' sense at least until people who know more than me weigh...
Ok this maybe a stupid question but do you think it's possible to transplant chiplets between 3900's? I mean even if it was I imagine it'd be an insanely delicate process, on the other hand you could DIY a golden chip :)
3600 is definitely soldered, you can watch it being delidded here
Those really are some bonkers temps though.. 117c O_o Would have thought it would hard shutdown quite a bit lower than that.. I guess there's some leeway for spiking.
Thanks for all the extra data :)
Any idea what's going on with the Total War results? They just seem a bit skewy, both the CPU's and your GPU should be pushing that wayyyyy over 60. Did you happen to benchmark that in DX12 mode?
You may well have already done this but if you/anyone who's run into this hasn't It's well worth checking your countries consumer protections. It's extremely common for manufacturers and retailers to state warranty returns processes that are well below what they're legally obliged to provide...
Good to know thanks :) That basically brings it down to a 3600 with cooler or a 3700x on stock. The 3700x has some longevity arguments in it's favour although if I knew for sure that Zen3 was coming on AM4 I'd be hard pressed not to just go for a 3600 then 4600. All I've seen on Zen3 is that...
@VirtualLarry
Cheers for the heads up, I'll have a look into it before I hit the order button. The Gaming Plus only had 6 sata ports, well 6+2 M2 which I believe can run sata or NVMe hopefully that doesn't wind up as 4+2 but it's better to be sure rather than hope and need to ditch a HDD. The...
Ha, I've been going back and forth between the 3600 and 3600x due to the awful stock cooler on the 3600 and how close the price becomes once you replace it.. Turns out the AM4 mounting brackets coolermaster sells for the 212 evo work with the plus even though compatibility isn't listed on their...
@Arkaign Pretty sure Gamers Nexus also tested on 1903 with all mitigations
*edit* actually speaking of GN they're also the first review site I've seen that's benchmarked turn times in a TBS game (Civilization VI in their case). I've been wanting to see that for aggeess. Sadly the 9900k...
I know that AMD said they're going straight to Zen3 but I wouldn't be overly surprised if we got a refresh at some point. TSMC did say they'd been offering their 6nm (7nm+) product to customers as a drop in upgrade while 5nm required actual redesigns. So a 4xxx series or 3xxx+ (3xxx super? :P)...
Huh a quick search on the USB ones turned up a headphone one that drives up to 300Ω headphones for $66AUD, will have to look into that further later today, cheers :). Thing I loved about my DG was it cost me all of $30AUD I think and is a dramatic improvement over onboard for driving decent...
Ahh well figured it was a long shot, cheers for the info though :). There's X370's around with them but it's obviously pretty limiting choice wise. Might just have to look into how well adaptor's function or other alternatives.
Yeah I'm still happily plodding away on my 2500K. Although I do feel the pinch multi-tasking wise and while it's fine for most games at 60fps oddly it's indie titles and TBS's that really show it's age. The game I'm looking forward to playing the most after getting a Zen2 processor (Likely...
So we have confirmation and latency results now! https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/AMD-FreeSync-Working-NVIDIA-GPUs-Some-Strings-Attached
Usage is a bit restrictive atm but with any luck someone will figure out a way to allow swapping between gpu's rather than just APU to GPU outside...
Lmao.. somehow I think AMD might face some legal trouble if they went down that path :p..
However there is a market gap with cheap 1-slot well featured htpc cards... if one of those just happened to support freesync too.. ;)
Otherwise I'm sure second hand budget cards from years back...
So I just read this on /r/hardware and thought people here would be interested in it and I'd definitely be interested to hear everyone's take on it.

Also I know this is...
Cheers for the quick response
Will do ^_^ Well thankfully the timings are identical according to the specs (both 9,9,9,24,2) haven't had a chance to reset yet and dig into the bios to see why it dropped the speed but yeah I assume it's running them at 1.25v. According to the spec sheet for the...
Hey
Got sick of random low memory warnings and decided to grab an extra 8GB of RAM... Found what I *thought* was the same model as my original pair (It's been so many years....gotta love Sandy Bridge :P)..
Turns out my original pair was G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2 and I bought G.Skill...
Have to jump in and add a +1 to this being the best thread necro I have ever seen ^_^
My predictions for 10 years (cause why not for fun :P)
Someone will bring in a VR headset that isn't permanently isolating (something like controlled transparency) eliminating the 'anti-social' issue...
Had a bad feeling that might be the only solution :/
Anyway to find out what happened/How it happened before I wipe? I'm running a bootscan atm that looks like it's going to take an insanely long time but was hoping that might turn something up..
Also I assume we're talking about just wiping...
Hey all
I just had a random command prompt suddenly pop up then disappear while gaming I didn't see what the text was before it disappeared so decided to poke around in my event log to see if anything matched. Rather worryingly there was a system event matching the time of the pop up which...
*edit* nevermind all that, original post was about coil whine which I've since discovered was actually coming from my PSU but because it became apparent after installing a new graphics card which was right next to my PSU it made it hard to identify >_< now onto the fun task of figuring out how...
I've only been using it a few days (My new card only has one DVI port so one monitor had to switch to DP or HDMI) but I haven't had any major issues.
It doesn't display on boot but I assumed that was an issue with my MB (dated bios or something) since the other monitor is on DVI that's not a...
Oh a nostalgia thread, I love some good nostalgia ^_^
Mine would have to be a draw between a Geforce 256 (my first 3D graphics card) and the card that replaced it the 9600XT, probably the biggest performance leap I've had between cards (which makes sense given how young all the tech was then)...
Those are the day zero prices, Aus tax won't be that bad for them. There's already a second shop with them listed for $459 and $739 respectively. Might want to wait until there's more than 2 stores in the country selling them before we find out how bad we get shafted by Australia tax ;)
Kk, it's honestly a little hard to say in that case. We don't know the final specs for the Rift and we don't know the price/performance of the next generation of graphics cards. That being said Oculus aren't stupid, they aren't going to release a product that will only run on brand new $700...
Nope, they seperate it with lenses and in software but it's a single physical panel. It's actually the exact panel used in the Galaxy Note 3 (including the touch display because apparently it would have cost more without it :P)...
The idea of sacrificing extra ports for lower cost/increased functionality sounds great to me, although I'd be more enticed by a 1600p. That being said if the price was right I would definitely consider it, still really wanting a <27" with >1200p :P
*edit* derpy derp part of my post was about...
I guess it partially depends on what you notice. People here have been stating repeatedly the difference between 720p and 1080p at various distances but for me the major thing is settings like draw distance. I really dislike the low draw distance on consoles, it's one setting that adds a huge...
Wow...
I remember seeing this last year and thinking it was a neat idea with some potential but they've really turned it into something impressive since then.
I hope they remember what made the Kinect such a success and leave this completely open for people to play with and program for without...
Hi all
I moved house a couple of months back and as is standard when a major move happens my computer started misbehaving once reconnected (I swear I'm careful with the damn thing >_<).
Basically the main DVI port on the primary GPU (I run 2 6950's) doesn't output anything, however the...
Lol, well I'd say those demo's rank up against anything on the PC atm. However while I'm a multiplatform gamer 90%+ of my gaming is done on PC, the years consoles come out their usually pretty competitive with average PC's at the time.
Remember though we aren't talking about porting from...
I agree it runs fine but like you said it's unimpressive. If you haven't seen them go have a look at a few of the demo's shown at the PS4 announcement and pay attention to the physics specifically (granted that stuff is easily faked in presentations). Those are damn impressive and in the past...
So just speculation at this point I guess unless there's an announcement out there I've missed..
What's the likelyhood that Havok's PS4 announcement will translate into widespread GPU accelerated physics in gaming?
I remember years back seeing the first Physx footage and being really...
Yeah without the UI supporting it you can easily end up with a display that leads to eyestrain. Since my distance from the screen varies a lot I have grown to love font size hotkeys ^_^ There are a few ways too adjust settings so everything is larger although obviously it's hit and miss for...
Thanx for the responses ^_^
Yeah I must say I prefer 16:10 as well even though it means letterboxing when watching TV/Movies, for every other usage aspect the extra height is very nice.
So in theory if it's just rejection rate and marketting then it could change rather rapidly if someone...
Voted both, I buy based on price/performance (with features sometimes breaking near ties). My first GPU was Nvidia, second was ATI, third was Nvidia and my current is AMD so going by pattern I guess the next will be Nvidia :P
They're both corporations I don't have any loyalty to either...
