  1. [GamersNexus] GTX 1030 DDR4 "A Disgrace of a Graphics Card"

    You don't have to go that far back. There were no less than 22 cards shipping with DDR3 between 2014 and 2016. And that database isn't even complete. I don't remember a GPU generation which didn't have DDR variants. Edit: Note that these are all desktop GPUs. If you switch to 'mobile' then...

  2. Is g-sync worth the trouble?

    Yep, that's the tradeoff. I've never found TN much better in terms of pixel response or ghosting but if you prefer TN then you should obviously go for that. I do notice some occasional afterimages on my IPS when using ULMB though and it's entirely possible that they wouldn't be visible on TN...

  3. Is g-sync worth the trouble?

    Bear in mind that $131 gets you more than just Gsync as you also get ULMB and a slightly higher refresh rate. These aren't necessities (by any means) but they are all 'nice to haves' while Gsync will allow you to use your GPU for longer. Flickering is not something that I've witnessed...

  4. [ComputerBase.de] Possible reason of Dirt 4 favoring AMD GPUs with CMAA

    Good man to own up. It's incredibly important to be upfront about these things because guerrilla marketing and stock manipulation are very real things that happen on the Internet. Keep in mind that we don't know you.

  5. [ComputerBase.de] Possible reason of Dirt 4 favoring AMD GPUs with CMAA

    It works both ways. I follow tech close enough to know that an unnamed poster in this thread owns AMD stock and has a vested interest in bumping them. Which also happens to be highly illegal. So take everything with a grain of salt is what I'm saying. It's way too easy to pretend being...

  6. [ComputerBase.de] Possible reason of Dirt 4 favoring AMD GPUs with CMAA

    I'm not sure what the point of this thread is. Just turn off all forms of AA, see who wins, and then revel in your Pyrrhic victory. It's honestly ridiculous to see GPU benchmarking be reduced to such contingents as AA method and lossy JPEGs. CMAA clearly isn't even antialiasing properly and...

  7. [PCGAMESHARDWARE.DE] DOOM Benchmarks

    The people throwing around bribery claims will always ignore that the games they accuse are firstly designed around AMD based console hardware. nvidia has, what, 25% of the overall market?

  8. Does God hate sinners?

    Good man. I was trying my damnedest to put it into words but I'm glad that managed to explain it. And of course it's nonsense. If theistic belief marked a decline of intellect then we likely wouldn't even have computers to discuss this on.

  9. Does God hate sinners?

    I'm not sure if I'm following, but it sort of falls into the same hat. If we keep it strictly to the dogmatic type then you're not going to see much difference in average intellect between the type who adheres to the Bible and who adheres to the Communist Manifesto (for example) as unwavering...

  10. Does God hate sinners?

    Well, no, but you fail statistics :) It also means that 80% of non-idiots are religious.

  11. Does God hate sinners?

    Stating unconfirmed opinion as fact in any form is stupid. It's not a 'Christianity vs atheism' thing but something that applies to every facet of life. A better way to put is that uninformed opinion is always the wrong opinion. Even when it happens to be factually correct, it's still wrong...

  12. Best SSD for Dell Latitude D630 with Win XP

    It's a bit difficult question to answer without knowing if these are meaningful terms to you but, generally speaking, no. You do want to enable AHCI mode in the BIOS (for a variety of reasons) but, for the installer to recognize the hard disk, the XP install disc needs to include the driver...

  13. 128gb SSD vs 256gb SSD- REAL World Difference?

    I'd also go with the 128gb unless you simply need the space. It's seek times, and not throughput, that mainly makes SSDs faster than HDDs. In practice, the times that you see a disks throughput maxed is actually quite rare. People tend to think of a game's loading time as time being spent...

  14. Restoring performance on Vertex 3 without TRIM?

    Yer, I guess I'll concede that. But, more importantly, the site lists 82801HM/HEM under its components which is the ICH8M. The laptop should support AHCI from what I can tell. Intel's naming policies do tend to be convoluted (to say the least) so I'm not quite staking my life on it. I'm just...

  15. Restoring performance on Vertex 3 without TRIM?

    GM965 is the north bridge; the accompanying south bridge should be ICH8M (judging by the laptops product literature) which does support AHCI. It's not unusual for laptop makers to call IDE/AHCI other names like 'compatibility' and 'enhanced' or 'legacy' and 'SATA Mode' or similarly vague wordings.

  16. Restoring performance on Vertex 3 without TRIM?

    ^ The difference between SATA interfaces isn't going to cause those kinds of differences in 4k operations. The more likely explanation (especially regarding the latter score) is that IDE mode doesn't support command queueing.

  17. I/O very slow on quad ssd raid 0

    I've no idea for a fix but I would try running 'winsat disk' under command line (assuming Win7/8) and see what kind of latencies you're getting. RAID overheads can bump latencies up to the point where it becomes a hindrance rather than help and especially if there is improper alignment. If...

  18. Restoring performance on Vertex 3 without TRIM?

    I bought a used Agility 3 and suffered a similar issue where secure erase did little to help performance. I actually had to fill the drive with garbage data then delete it (on Win7) in order to trigger the TRIM command that properly cleaned the drive. TRIM support is actually somewhat lacking...

  19. Best SSD for Dell Latitude D630 with Win XP

    I've been stresstesting the Samsung on a D630 w/ XP here at work. So far I've not run into any issues. The TRIM feature in their software seems to work well also as I've written ~1TB over the course of the past week without performance degradation that it didn't fix. And that's without any...

  20. Wii U's CPU power is "a little bit less" than 360 and PS3 according to developer

    Yes. There's a secondary reason for poor PC performance in GTA which is that it's far worse equipped to deal with the number of draw calls due to API overhead. It's by no means the only game that suffers though; the higher levels of 'object detail' in Crysis also pushed enough draw calls that...

  21. Wii U's CPU power is "a little bit less" than 360 and PS3 according to developer

    Better the CPU than GPU, I think. I could see games like GTA being problematic though most games won't be like that. The number of games that truly take advantage of my 2500k over the Q6600 is still very close to zero. Including PC exclusives not held back by being console ports. Given that...

  22. Aaron Sorkin is a hack

    I've never thought much of Sorkin but calling him a hack is probably pushing it. He's at least a step above Dan Brown. Heh.

  23. The Terminator vs. The Predator

    Kyle Reese asked for a plasma gun. Predators have plasma guns. Terminators disguise as humans. Predators hunt humans. QED In real life though they would be totes good friends and hunt Shia LaBeouf.

  24. Wash your hands after going the bathroom! Don’t be gross.

    On a scale of absurd reasons not to hire people, I would actually call it one of the more reasonable ones. More reasonable than gender, weight, hair color, smoking habits, marital status, and race, in any case. The fact that a Kenneth who doesn't wash his hands is more likely to get a CEO job...

  25. Wash your hands after going the bathroom! Don’t be gross.

    FYI, it's a medically accepted fact that hand washing would save more lives than any single vaccine in the world. And I quote that directly from the chief of medicine at the hospital where I work. So, yes, it's important. Claiming otherwise is just plain ignorance. Edit: As a point of...

  26. Games like Beyond Good & Evil, Psychonauts, Portal

    It's a bit of a vague question but Ghostbusters is great if you like the movies. It's also a damn fine game in its own right. Braid and Limbo also deserve a mention although they aren't comedic. Maybe even Darksiders and Overlord too.

  27. Uncharted... Really ticking me off

    I don't know about the third one but they didn't fix it for the second. I vastly preferred the first game to its sequel. For all the good things that the series has going for it, gunplay isn't one of them. It's the one thing that the games would be better off with in smaller doses.

  28. Ars Technica: Stopping the sale of used console games

    Once publishers stop charging ridiculous amounts for broken disc replacements then I'll start sympathizing with their cause against used games. It seems you're only paying for a license to play the game when it suits their profits. Paying 20$ for a new copy of something that I supposedly...

  29. Ars Technica: Stopping the sale of used console games

    I don't much care about the used game market but if they prevent me from lending out games to my friends and borrowing in return then I hope this crashes and burns along with the bastards responsible. It's bad enough having to rebuy an online pass when the stupid console fails (as happened to...

  30. Next Xbox console to be six times more powerful, headed for fall 2013 release?

    Sounds like a bunch of nonsense. An HD6670 is three times faster than the 360 GPU and not six. If it were six times faster then it wouldn't be a 6670 but something else entirely. Somebody pulled this out of his ass in my opinion.

  31. How big a deal would a retina iPad display be?

    Well, yes. Better screen technology is better and therefore more likely to benefit from a higher DPI. It's what I said in my post that you first quoted. TNs may not be fuzzy like old TVs are fuzzy but they are fuzzier than IPSes in terms of grayscale and color reproduction. Dithering and FRC...

  32. How big a deal would a retina iPad display be?

    While I'll grant you that the coating matters, the differences between IPSes and TNs are far greater than just pixel sharpness at the film level and all of which contribute to picture definition. The difference between an iPod Touch and iPhone 4, for example, is striking and I have myself...

  33. How big a deal would a retina iPad display be?

    I'm not too worried about that. The high DPI should make scaling a relative non-issue and, assuming a same size screen, apps should look the same since each pixel will simply be represented by four. Game performance is another issue but the DPI should also there allow non-native resolutions...

  34. How big a deal would a retina iPad display be?

    I honestly think it would be the best thing ever™. Displays have been stagnant for far too long and the iPad (and possibly the Mac) getting higher DPI could become the important first step towards mainstream displays finally growing up. The applications for higher DPI are countless...

  35. Will someone please explain to me why The Godfather is considered to be so good?

    Metasnobbery. It's snobbery towards your lower class of snobbery. The Godfather is mere kitsch unlike the fine art of noble Shakespearean tragedy and Starship Troopers.

  36. Will someone please explain to me why The Godfather is considered to be so good?

    It is. But taste often transcends into a means of self-expression that then devolves into plain old fanboyism when someone challenges it. Some people treat their tastes like a badge of honor. When The Dark Knight came out, for example, it was quickly voted (by fanboys) to the top spot on...

  37. Will someone please explain to me why The Godfather is considered to be so good?

    I never 'got' the movie either. It doesn't help that I read the book before I saw the movie and it's freaking terrible. It also wasn't an accurate depiction of the mob underworld. The mob supposedly copied more from the movie than the movie copied from the mob. I would call that its...

  38. Fattie or Smoker

    I am a bit prejudiced against fatties and consider the ironclad anti-smoking sentiment absurd. A hottie who smells beats a fattie who smells while I'd still take a hot smoker fattie over an ugly non-smoker non-fattie. It's also amazing how little personality matters to me.

  39. Jesus's middle name is Hume! Caution: Some NSFW images within!

    They had some paralyzing disease or condition. It made the news when they died a short while later (after the video went viral). Sorry to spoil it but seeing that .gif just makes me bawl.

  40. Is a 2008 Mac Pro for $625 a good deal?

    For 625$ I wouldn't even consider it a question. Unless something drastic happens that renders future versions of OSX incompatible (which I find unlikely) then that's still a pretty future proof Mac. Sandy Bridge is obviously a faster architecture but Core 2 is still pretty far from obsolete...
