    Question 'Ampere'/Next-gen gaming uarch speculation thread

    He isn't an AMD fan, more so isn't a fan of the monopoly we have on GPUs at the moment. That and he hates NVidia's constant anti-consumer practices. Everyone should be an AMD fan really in light of NVidia's years of anti-consumer practices (yes I know AMD aren't perfect).

    Radeon VII Viable Now?

    Remember you can easily slap a small undervolt on the Radeon VII in the AMD drivers to quiet it down and reduce power usage quite a bit. I can't remember the exact figures, but I think most cards could do -50mv, most -75mv? Do some research ;)

    Discussion Is Samsung's 7nm in as bad a state as Intel's 10nm?

    Monolithic — don't think there's any chiplet designs in the mobile space at all yet :)

    Gigabyte 5600xt WINDFORCE is running hot (due to 1440p?)

    70 degrees is fine for high load and 56 degrees is fine for idle if the fans turn off at idle. Nothing to worry about — is the card noisy? More airflow is always going to help a little though :)

    Question Is there much of a difference between a modern AHVA IPS panel vs an IPS panel?

    I'm not an expert on the subject, but VA panel's viewing angles and colours are still not as good as IPS. However, to me, the difference in contrast ratios far outstrips the issues with VA. I'd never be able to buy an IPS panel myself... (IMO). Might want to check some reviews on TFTCentral...

    DSR not downscaling on 4k correctly: not downscaling from native resolution

    Hi everyone, I've noticed this quirk with NVidia DSR since I've owned my 4k TV (LG C8), and it's been the same issue on both a 1080ti and the 2080ti I have now. Basically when using DSR, it seems to have set up the DSR levels from the maximum reported resolution of my TV which is 4096 x 2160...

    Ripping hair out my head trying to get PCIe graphics cards to run at full x16 speed

    Just thought I'd share my experience, as this happened to me on my last rig! I ran an ASRocks Extreme 6 with a 3770k and was never able to get my GPU running at x16. When I put it in the one nearest the CPU for some reason it ran at x4 0_o I eventually shifted it along one and GPUZ then said...

    if AMD and intel are so smart, why dont we have this?

    It's by all means not a perfect case, but fun and easy to build in, with a good potential for some mods! I replaced the 180mm fans with the newer ones white ones that have a proper control knob and now the performance/noise ratio is even better :) I mean, I wanted to try an AIO cooler on my...

    if AMD and intel are so smart, why dont we have this?

    I believe Gamer's Nexus have flipped a few cases to see if heat=rises makes any difference, and I don't think they've really seen anything themselves. I believe they said they even tried flipping a Silverstone Raven 2 so that the air went sideways rather than bottom->top and saw very little if...

    What is the most accurate method of determining if a card has been devastatingly mined on?

    So people that do folding, rendering or encoding on their cards should also have zero warranty? Interesting theory by the by :P

    Raytracing is worth the money. (Opinion)

    This thread is amazing. So hold on, can I confirm something? Do you understand that the new GPUs are going to be 95% (chosen numerical value 'for the sake of argument') rasterization with 5% ray tracing? Or do you understand that the new GPUs are going to be 100% ray traced? If you can let...

    G Sync Question

    Actually early digital Japanese anime had variable refresh rates. At first we had 24fps (with 3:2 pulldown to make it 30fps) animation with a 30fps interlaced credits sequence... No big deal; we mostly just decimated the credits down to 24fps and the credits would stutter a bit (no big deal!)...

    Tommy Robinson Arrested For Filming Child Grooming Gang

    Incorruptible. DEAR GOD MAN! Okay, I believe his first conviction was for filming INSIDE a court, but I don't know anything more past that (and I do like to go by the facts, unlike you). At this time, the judge told him if he breaks the law any more, he will be going to jail. Very simple...

    Tommy Robinson Arrested For Filming Child Grooming Gang

    Isn't it great how we can switch facts around and it seems to make sweeping changes to reality :O Maybe if the police were actually properly funded, this might have not happened in the first place. Why are the police not funded exactly? Oh, so we can keep giving tax breaks to big...

    Samsung outs Exynos 9 Series 9810

    I'm sure there's plenty of articles and better investigations, but essentially there's only so much you can do with voltage and frequency scaling. EG, the idle power draw of a big core at 300mhz might be 100mv*, whilst the idle power draw of a small core at 300mhz might be only 20mv*. And on...

    SD card showing as corrupted - any way to recover files?

    Don't have an answer, but I recently had a 128GB Micro SD go south :( (luckily I think I mostly lost some pictures of cats, haha) I used Windows 10 and eventually ended up cutting and pasting all of the files off the card at once — Windows 10 on my work laptop would try for a few minutes per...

    3770k and PC21300/2666mhz DDR3 - normally feasible?

    Hey everyone, Thanks so much for the feedback. I'll be back home tomorrow, so I can hopefully do some more testing on this :) See if I can get anywhere with 2100/2200 and tight timings at least... I sort of got the memory to give me something to play with, but currently it's in the annoying...

    3770k and PC21300/2666mhz DDR3 - normally feasible?

    Hi everyone, I've recently got 16GB of PC21300/2666mhz RAM to use with my 3770k. However, I've found that I am unable to get it to POST at 2666, the most I can get away with is 2200. I'm just wondering, do I just have a crappy memory controller in my 3770k? I've more or less maxed all the...

    110 C outside of case running BIOS

    My old job was a 2nd hand shop and we bought CPUs. We had a test bench and got fairly abused and for a while we had the wrong type of stock cooler fitted to it (like, it KIND OF fit, but I had to wrestle with it to get it working). When the cooler was not fitted properly, things like this would...

    Thermal paste shelf life?

    I agree completely. I'll also add (not that I'm any kind of expert), but materials like this will not simply 'stop working'; if anything they would decay over time and an older thermal paste may not work as effectively as a new one. So theoretically maybe you'll lose 1-2 degrees of performance...

    Gtx 1080 Ti Fe - hot hair dryer smell when card is hot.

    I would say please make sure it is not the PSU — I had a situation years ago where I thought the PSU was 100% solid and the GPU was dodgy. Turned out after 30+ minutes of high load (overclocked to hell GTX 570 or 580), the GPU would start to emit an electrical burning smell and because of where...

    3770k + 1080TI to play at 3440x1440. How much would CPU limit performance?

    I have a 3770k at 4.4-4.6ghz. If you're at 60hz, it will not limit or bottleneck performance in 99% of games. I think the only reason I'd need to upgrade CPU in the next few years is if I go above 60hz. Even if I don't run vsync, I'm still GPU bound in most games :) Then again, I usually...

    ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Dual OC not for gaming? Should I change?

    This is a clear CPU bottleneck. The reason you are not seeing CPU usage at 100% is because games cannot max out every thread at every point (eg, game logic on core #1 might be maxed out, but we might be waiting for the AI thread on core #3 to process so core #1 is not utilised 100%)...

    Is there yet a BIOS hack available for GTX 1070?

    There are a couple of unlimited BIOSs for the GTX 1080 — I am running one at the moment on my FE (I think it's a BIOS from one of the high end Asus cards that is used for LN2 overclocking — the BIOS got leaked at some point). Some people suggest they can actually decrease performance though, due...

    Laptop "cooling pads" ineffective, snake-oil?

    My girlfriend has an MSI laptop with a 760m. When we used it for gaming a lot (runs slightly older stuff at 900p/medium settings 60fps nicely!), we used one of these: http://www.coolermaster.com/mobile/notepal-series/notepal-u2-plus/ Worked fairly well as the fans are movable. So I placed both...

    Upgrade from an I7-3770K

    At 60fps my 3770k at 4.4ghz is barely any bottleneck. I've been tempted to upgrade it for a while, but there's literally no need :/ I've been working on and off for a while to get it stable at 4.6ghz, but I'll probably drop back to 4.4 for general use anyway. I think I'd only really need an...

    Faulty 750Ti (within warranty) vs Asus and Amazon UK

    It really doesn't surprise me you're having such problems with Amazon UK. I ordered a £200 set of speakers over the x-mas period and they had to send it out 3 times for me to actually get the item and all I got was a £15 voucher. They basically ignored my complaints. Had another issue with their...

    Anyone have more info on Samsung CH711 Quantum Dot monitors?

    I have the same monitor and that damn control puck makes me want to see if BenQ will update the 3200PT in any interesting ways! (Edit: There is a 4k model, but it's an IPS panel and not a VA panel and the 2500:1 VA panel is the main reason I got the 3200PT in the first place...) I've seen a few...

    CRT vs modern LCD: Taking a look back

    CRT vs modern LCD: Taking a look back

    Err, most monitor-grade CRTs would hit 1600x1200 at least at 60hz. All the ones I had would do 1280x960 at 85hz (which was my preferred setting usually; didn't ever have a high-end GPU back then!) — the higher end ones would do a lot more. Bite given :) CRTs still have an infinite contrast...

    Philips 328P6VJEB 31,5" 4K VA panel

    R9 390 in a mITX Case

    I put together a Milo rig a while ago for my GF's place — the case is amazing and lovely and it was so easy to build. Cable management isn't great, but luckily there's not too many cables involved... Cooling isn't perfect either, but considering it has no cooling fans at all it's reasonable...

    Gsync doesn't do a damn thing

    What games are you playing? Tearing will show up really easily in some games and others not so much. Dark games are great for hiding tearing — like my girlfriend usually complains really loudly about tearing but we barely noticed it when she watched me play through Doom 2016 :) (and running the...

    Can 950M make laptop fans spin louder then 940M?

    I'd recommend the 950m also — if you're worried about heat and noise, get a cooling pad :) I have a laptop with a 760m (768 keplar cores) and it's good for 720p-900p medium/high settings on a lot of games (I try to run at 60fps mostly). 950m should hopefully be a little better, but it's...
