Thanks all, I do have a be quiet dark rock 3. That is why I was scared off of ocing, but I agree that it would handle the gaming load just fine. I'll give it a shot. I have always been a bit intimidated by ocing for whatever reason, but I was already thinking of getting rid of the cpu, why not?
Good afternoon,
I have a highly unbalanced system that I used only for triple A gaming at 1440p. I'm running an 8700k at stock, 16 gigs of 3000 mhz RAM, SATA SSD x3 totaling 2.5 TB and an RTX 3090. My frames are just fine at 1440p, but I was wondering if I would see a significant improvement in...
Well, from everything I can measure, the temps remain well within safe ranges up until the point the system restarts. I've got new psu coming in the mail today and I'll give that a shot. Guess I can go from there.
Greetings,
I just wanted to get some input from the knowledgeable readers here on my situation before I spend money. I've noticed that when I play a good number of games that my computer with randomly and suddenly restart. Everything that I've read on the subject seems to indicate that it is...
I'm looking for just what the title states. I'm currently running a 980 and intend to upgrade to pascal. I would consider Gsync, but it is not something I care about as much as some. Essentially, I'd like an IPS that gives me the greatest balance of quality image with decent refresh rate out...
Question,
In what type of computing scenario would this help you speed along workloads? Is it for business servers, artists? I'm thinking for just a gaming box this would be over the top right?
I really don't understand this at all. I'll be upfront about that. Could someone please explain to me how these chips can be so much stronger with regards to voltage than chips built on older nodes? I always though that Haswell shouldn't really be run above 1.3v. Now all of the sudden that's...
Meh, I'll just stick with my 980 until pascal at least. I guess I'm finally getting old and jaded but I just don't see dropping that kind of dosh on a vid card.
Hi, Right now I'm using the same password for my microsoft windows as I am for my primary e-mail. I realize that this particular password is literally the keys to the kingdom. I'm only using it for windows and e-mail. Bottom line, should I change one or the other or is the risk acceptable?
Meh, I'm on a locked haswell 4770, I'll just see what this little kaby lake thing brings to the table. I like the new stuff on the boards, just don't want to blow $$ on it. I have to have the "itch." Lord knows there is no legit reason to upgrade for the foreseeable future for my usage case...
In honor of the author, I'm going to run some kind of stress test at stock to burn power for 3 days. No justification except I'm paying for it and "bite me." I am sorry that I have the normal i7 4770. I just can't kick that power use into overdrive. After reading his paper in full, at least...
Don't know, but I hope this does launch AMD right back into the game. Nvidia doesn't have much time to fix a lot of stuff if this data is true. That would be awesome to have competition and sane pricing again.
Well, I did my little bit to help tonight. A guildmate that play FFXIV had to replace his card and was going to go with a 750 to replace a 580. I pointed him towards the R9270, as it will significantly outperform the 750. If his psu can drive a 580, I assume it can drive that.
I know I'll probably be ran out of town on a rail for posting this, but I genuinely wonder about it. I want to put together an AMD system, but I can't help but wonder what would happen in the event that AMD is no longer a going concern? I would imagine at this point in time it would be...
This is the closest forum I can think to ask this question in. I was wanting someone to recommend a service that I could legally purchase movies and/or music from that would allow local storage on my own drive(s). I believe itunes actually does it, but frankly I'm irrationally against apple...
Still a bit confused on one thing. Let's say you left it at stock and bought 3000 memory. Would the memory actually operate at that frequency or just not because the core is not overclocked. I mainly ask b/c I am running a locked Haswell i7 4770 with 1866 mhz ram. The board takes it and all...
Yea, if I was willing to buy an expensive set of DDR4 it would be a significant increase. But, I just don't see it right now. I'm still trying to get over the "bummed out" factor of this review. Looks like the good ol Z87 will keep on truckin for a few more years. I know so little...
Well, some of improvements look nice for the folks that use them. For me, I'm a gamer who builds strictly gaming pc builds. I'll just sit on my locked i7 4770, I just don't see any of these chips that offer enough to put out money on it. I certainly am not going to buy new memory on top of...
I'm playing ffXIV now, I'm finding the community to be pretty excellent. However, back to the console problem. I believe the global cooldown is about a second too long because of consoles.
Fearful Spartan, despite myself being part of the problem in buying Nvidia chips, I'm now fearing for the future of AMD. People really do fall for the Nvidia hype machine. I was at one of the major gaming sites and people were talking about how this would crush the consoles in power. Also...
Nintendo just doesn't seem like the learn your lesson kind of company to me. The probably all huddled up and thought "we just tried the wrong gimmick this time." If it is true that is weaker than an Xone than it tells me they are more interested in going handheld for more of the business. I...
I'm just trying to run a simple gaming rig, nothing more. It's a luxury I know, but I just one day would like to have 3TB of nand and no spinning disks. Right now, I'm not doing to bad at all and can't complain. I have a 500 gig 850 pro, 128 830, 4tb black.
Thank you all for letting me know that this wasn't as good as it seemed. I don't keep up day to day. It was kinda wow to me when I saw it that's the reason I came to get help from those who know!
Is this a decent SSD? Newegg has a special today for a 500 gig BX100 for 169.99. That would work out to around $340 for a TB of nand storage. If its half decent that would be pretty sweet.
Hmmm, I remember another poster stating in a thread the he felt it was wrong of tech sites to treat 1440P as the new 1080P. I think this poll, thus far, seems to back that idea up. If the results are like this on anandtech.com what are they in the real world?
Oh, I knew there had to be some shadiness to this whole thing. I have plug in PS2 and get the bios off of it to even use the emulator. I'm sure it's not hard, but crap I'll just play the online version before go through all that nonsense. I guess it comes down to how much you want to play...
Well the only thing I can say for certain is that if it is fixable I won't be the one to do it :) But I really do hope there is something beyond silicon that will one day become viable for a whole new "computer revolution."
I'm proud that AMD laid the groundwork for us to have DX12 and that we are getting it. But, I just can't help but shake my head at Phil "Xone" Spencer tries to pander to our market. I mean, they can't even let a remaster of gears 1 come out on pc at the same time. Am I supposed to...
