    bitsandchipsAMD Reveals the Monsterous ‘Exascale Heterogeneous Processor’

    Assuming this is a server/HPC chip, then yes, moar coars is better. I expect desktop Zen to have quite a few skews with notably fewer cores. Probably higher clocked and smaller dies as expected from both Intel and AMD.

    [Techspot] Then and Now: A decade of Intel CPUs compared, from Conroe to Haswell

    Not really sure what the power consumption of AMD's chips has to do with the wording of the thread, but we all know the 8350 isn't energy star certified at this point. Those graphs don't really mean much to the average user and especially not to the Intel chip comparison out of context...

    Fury Nano, biggest bang in smallest package.. FPS/inch baby!

    I can't see the nano being the same speeds as a 290X considering the R9 390 fills that gap already. A nice middle ground between the 390X/980 and R9 Fury seems like the place to be. Judging by the expected clockspeed of ~800Mhz and the fact that the Fury cards don't seem to be shader limited...

    Seasonic psu and r5

    Ah in that case then there is absolutely nothing wrong with opting for a r5 730! If driving monitors is all you need then really there is no need to get a better card, and it would be nice to have the lower power requirements. Just keep in mind that the 230 is an old architecture, a bit...

    Seasonic psu and r5

    You won't even be close to your max wattage! You could probably run upwards of a R9 370 or gtx 960. Not that I would recommend it without knowing more specifics about your system.

    Fury Nano is Full Fiji

    Probably no better unless you were going to stick a custom cooler on the Fury X to begin with. Might be a decent option for people with custom loops already set up?

    what brand of used 7950 should I buy?

    I had a MSI Twin Frozr III for the longest time, and it overclocked like a champ. I can't remember the exact clocks, but I know it was around 1200MHz, and some go higher than that if you're lucky. If you can get one with a 7970 board like mine, those chips can really go above and beyond the...

    7950 upgrade suggestions?

    Those Canadian prices never fail to surprise me! Judging by those prices, another 7950 might be a good stopgap if you want to upgrade pretty soon, but I don't think I would count on having it past the next gpu cycle. Especially with the terrible crossfire support you may get in games. Upgrade...

    7950 upgrade suggestions?

    I would grab a 290 or a 290X on sale and OC if possible! Since the 7950 doesn't use XDMA crossfire, I feel it's not really worth getting another. How much are 970s for you, as that may be another option. Personally, I'm holding on to my 7950 to see if the Fury nano impresses, and if not, I'll...

    AMD R9 Fury X reviews!

    While impressive, the Fury X is not quite good enough for me to just run out and buy. It does compete with the 980ti in most cases, which I can't complain about, but a small price cut would be nice. Hopefully DX12 and drivers give the Fury X a good kick up the ladder. Otherwise I'll be waiting...

    HWZone Forum - Sapphire R9 Fury X pics and benchmarks!

    Within 1fps of Anandtechs 980ti bench. Not too shabby!

    When will we see Fury reviews?

    Considering the 390X is priced against a 980 which it matches very well, I would say AMD is competitive. Comparing a 390X to a 980ti or Titan X is ludicrous as they aren't priced even remotely close to each other. True you could buy a 290X and OC, but I don't think that their MSRPs are so out of...

    When will we see Fury reviews?

    Never argued that the info regarding refreshes wasn't true, but he talks about it as if 1)AMD isn't competitive, 2)AMD is trying to con you despite rebrands/refreshes being the norm, and 3) that Nvidia wipes the floor with AMD in every scenario and you have to be a chump to buy from them. All of...

    When will we see Fury reviews?

    That's why some journalists definitely should keep their opinions private until they have a good reason to reveal them! Honestly most of KitGuru is fine and I haven't found any problems with them other than some recommendations. Their benchmarks have generally been ok and that's usually what...

    When will we see Fury reviews?

    Probably videos like this are why AMD pulled the review card from Kitguru. I have noticed subtle bias from Kitguru towards Nvidia, but they're not terrible most of the time. This video however is a bit too much from them. He shuts AMD down for 13 minutes straight and that would probably ruffle...

    Fury XT and Pro prices

    Ah thanks for the clarification everyone. Hopefully those cables work out, or Dan doesn't know what he's talking about. I won't be buying a 4k tv for a long time, but I'm open to 4k monitors and am thinking that the Fury or nano will work great in that respect.

    Fury XT and Pro prices

    Isn't it possible to use a DP1.2 to HDMI adapter to output 4k@60Hz? I'm no expert on displays and standards, but AMD would be missing a potential market by not offering some sort of solution.

    Am I dreaming? I want to play the Witcher 3 in 4k

    I have been using a 4k monitor for the past two months now, and I have to say I love it! It's true that if you wait another year or two you'll have some better options, but isn't that always the case? 4k is actually affordable and I would consider the upgrade. Scaling hasn't been a huge issue...

    Need advice for a relative, CPU or GPU upgrade?

    I would jump on that gpu. Assuming the monitor only supports 60fps, then the cpu will keep him there for 95% of games. That gpu on the other hand won't. A year or two down the line it would be worth buying at least an i3 (or even pentium) and a new mobo, but even now a 6300 holds its own alright...

    I need a 4K IPS Monitor 27-28 inches

    My brother just bought a P2715Q and it's absolutely amazing compared to my cheap 1440p monitor. Scaling is a non-issue with after changing it in windows, and drivers are much better than before. Some games and programs get weird visual glitches once in a while, but honestly it's rare enough at...

    Looking to Buy a New Monitor

    I've used an IPS for the past couple of years and think that it's a huge improvement over TN. With that being said, the last shooter I really got into was Battlefield 3, and mostly play RPGs and "slower" games. I can't say I noticed much of a difference even with shooters though, but have heard...

    The great Human Eye fps debate

    Here's an article from extremetech about it. I'm sure there are actual scientific studies on it, and would check Google scholar if you want an actual medical paper. I can check later on but (weirdly) my job in a lab isn't set up for me to look through them on this computer.

    help me convince a friend to keep his quad-core i5 from 2012

    The gpu should definitely be a priority, but with that being said, I think most of us on this forum like new and shiny tech. If he has the money and wants to have fun OC'ing or anything else, he could very well get a good increase in CPU performance with an upgrade. If he doesn't have that kind...

    Buying a 7950 at this point in time, wise?

    My MSI TwinFrozr III 7950 is still going strong. It's at stock right now since I just replaced my cpu from a g3258 to a 4690k. I ran it for a couple of months with the pentium at 4.2GHz and it was fairly rare that I would notice stuttering. There is definitely a difference with my new cpu...

    Used R9 290 vs GTX 970

    If it's worth that much to him then sure. Personally I pay a little more for GPUs to get a little performance, but I'm never brand specific. They have always had similar annoyances whether they were AMD or Nvidia. In this case, I don't believe 5-10% better performance is worth 200% of the price...

    Help with resetting BIOS on AsRock z97 K1ller

    Is SSD really worth the extra money (for a 1TB drive) ??

    Ever since I tried an ssd ~4 years ago, they've gone in every system I've owned since. There are very few cases where I actually notice a difference between my desktop (1Tb EVO), and my htpc (4 year old 120Gb kingston something+2Tb green drive). I would personally stick with the EVO in your...

    CHHCaptain(380X?) power Preview

    I'd be really happy if they released two reference cards and one used air cooling while the other used water. I would definitely like to add it to a custom loop, so their loop isn't going to work out unless it's expandable. I just can't imagine the whole market would get a single option at...

    Help with resetting BIOS on AsRock z97 K1ller

    So when you have had problems in the past, have you had experiences both sending the board for a repair and also changing the chip yourself? I'm just curious as to which is easier, as this is something I have not done before. I looked into it after this incident though, and have a new chip on...

    Help with resetting BIOS on AsRock z97 K1ller

    Yeah that's what I had thought too... Do you think the problem could have been elsewhere? I had tried two separate i5s and neither would POST. Upon further research it appeared that the launch BIOS and it's following update didn't support Haswell's refresh, so that's where I assumed I was having...

    Help with resetting BIOS on AsRock z97 K1ller

    Nope AsRock uses something called instant flash. Pretty much the easiest thing to run ever. Just put everything on a drive and it finds it and updates automatically. I ordered a chip already and it's on it's way, so hopefully that fixes all of this. I did everything that I could think of between...

    Help with resetting BIOS on AsRock z97 K1ller

    Yep checked probably a dozen times switching out cpus. Insterted correctly and no bent pins. This is one of those cases where I wish I had gone asus or gigabyte, although I've never had any problems with ASRock in the past. I was trying to save a couple of bucks and got it on sale. It has...

    Help with resetting BIOS on AsRock z97 K1ller

    I'm pretty sure V1.10 supports the pentium but Devil's Canyon came out later. So my theory is that this came with 1.10. The system powers on fine but it hangs and the peripherals don't get power. I'm positive the cpu is inserted correctly so I'm leaning towards the BIOS either being defective or...

    Need help picking a good graphics card

    It's a small note, but you'll want to make sure that you uninstall all of AMD's drivers for Nvidia's, otherwise some weird stuff can happen. It's not too big of a point, but it's easier to just drop in a new AMD card and be able to play.

    Need help picking a good graphics card

    I honestly wouldn't add anything that uses more power without checking on that psu first, be it a 970 or R9 290. If it's anything decent though I would go with the R9 290. Less driver headache for switching the cards, about $80 cheaper, and you'll probably only use 50 more watts at load. If the...

    Help with resetting BIOS on AsRock z97 K1ller

    Well I had someone over at the time and I'm pretty sure they ended up hitting the reset or the surge protector I have my PC hooked up to. But yeah I tried taking out the battery as well and still nothing. I'll be sure to check the box in a little while. If I need to get an older Haswell chip...

    Help!

    I ran a 8320 at 4.2 with a 7950 at 1015, so mild overclocks on both. Normally I don't see my wattage (measured with a kill-o-watt) go above 310-320, but it will spike at just above 400 if I run synthetics. Be aware that if you overvolt the CPU close to 1.5V, your power usage will probably blow...

    Help with resetting BIOS on AsRock z97 K1ller

    Yep tried it with both cpus and followed the manual exactly and it didn't work :/ I realize the CMOS clear was probably a bad idea but I was just getting desperate. If I understand correctly though the backup BIOS should just boot up as soon as the computer starts? Do you know if it's...

    Help with resetting BIOS on AsRock z97 K1ller

    So I have been running this system for the past few months with an Intel g3258, and everything worked perfectly. I recently ordered a 4690k to replace this, but the system would not start. After some digging around, I came to the conclusion that the BIOS was not updated for whatever reason, and...
