I wonder if the 2060 will match a gtx 1070 in performance and which card is better future proofed. I am assuming the 2060 wont have ray tracing or is otherwise subpar at RTX.
Is there any downside to buying a B350 board over the newer B450 in late 2018? Keeping in mind Zen 2 is just around the corner.
When I look at Asus boards the B450 looks very much like a rehash with the addition of StoreMI. Othere than the chipset drawing a couple less watts, I cant see any...
I concur, the Ryzen 2000 series and the latest BIOS updates are now quite stable on Linux. It is interesting a lesser known operating system DragonflyBSD also turned up a Ryzen related bug.
I for one am excited about Ryzen and cant understand the hostility in this thread. I think it is healthy...
I currently roll AMD and am fascinated by this topic. Please don't let fanboyism shut down an interesting thread. I had allot of heartache over the following Ryzen kernel bug. I personally think its has more to do with power management on the CPU, than the Linux kernel. In this case AMD released...
Dont forget AMDs offerings. I believe their 400/500 series GPU and recent APUs support VP9 decoding.
I have read hardware-accelerated decoding of VP9 video is available only on the most recent generations of CPUs/GPUs.
Intel Kaby Lake
Nvidia Maxwell (later models) or Pascal
AMD Polaris or...
In late 2018 I would look at a Ryzen based APU with its configurable cTDP of 45/65w. You will have to confirm which motherboards expose the option in their UEFI, not all do.
SSD over HDD as spinning platters will be audible over low RPM fans.
Larger cases will offer better cooling, especially...
Interesting question and something I have wondered myself. This is an oldie but a goodie, from a time before AMD had thermal throttling. It would be fun to know just what we can get away with on modern CPUs. Imagine if you will, performing basic tasks such as web browsing and not significantly...
I have seen some Atom ITX boards that were fanless, but they had massive heatsinks on those boards. I am not sure what has appeared more recently. Looking at AM4 chipsets again, I see some B350 boards with itty bitty heatsinks. They seem to grow in size when the sink is shared with the M.2 SSD.
I remember 386 and 468 processors from the 90s were fanless with puny heat sinks. I think their power draw was between 1- 6w depending on model. I am not sure if TDP was used as a metric at that time. Does anyone know the last desktop CPU to be made without a fan?
I am curious about its TDP and...
I stumbled across nbench which runs on Linux, Windows in combination with cygwin, and there is supposed to be a Mac port. NBench is single-threaded. It looks like an old benchmark judging by the baseline and results table. I saw someone use it to benchmark an ARM9 BMC (Baseband Management...
Not ECC specific but Techreport mentioned the following Re memory controller.
I imagine the Ryzen 2000 memory controller acts similarly to the original series (common memory configurations), just with improved frequencies.
Hi James, does AMD devote many resources to Linux development for Ryzen processors? A couple of marginality problems have held me back from purchasing in the past. Others like myself are waiting to hear if Zen+ is affected by the Linux soft lockup bug. It would be great if AMD could be more...
Bottom mounted PSU orientated fan facing UP. I have placed a magnetic fan filter on top. The filter gets surprisingly dusty.
My reasoning: PSU will get suffocated by the carpet when fan facing DOWN. Cases have low feet and the bottom of the case tends to sink into carpet.
You can get fire resistant and waterproofed safes which can be bolted to the floor. You can also get floor safes which are built into a concrete floor, hidden from intruders and practically impossible for a burglar to remove.
The thing to keep in mind is that any safe can be cracked and they...
