    Just bought a new GTX 970.

    The thing is with buying an old card that was used is that you don't know if it was used for mining, you don't know how many people have owned it, and you don't have a warranty. Of course you may find a seller you trust, but I am jaded and don't take strangers words as true. However, if you buy...

    Just bought a new GTX 970.

    You know that saying "it feels like just yesterday when I was your age, where has the time gone?" Well this thread made me realize that the GTX 970 is getting pretty old and is not the "last gen but still young" card I had assumed... Yet I am rocking a GTX 770, which until now I had not...

    Are we getting an Anandtech iPhone 8 review?

    So is there actually a review coming, as you alluded? Something is really not right with what is going on at AT and this is definitely not the first time that we have been told an article will be posted that has either not arrived, or has not arrived within a relevant time period for the...

    Intel Skylake / Kaby Lake

    Anyone have a good source to comprehensively and simply sum up everything we know about the differences between all these upcoming processor generations and chipsets? My head hurts... "Tick tock" is dead, "process, architecture, optimization" is dead, Moore's Law is dead, release dates are...

    Input on best GPU-match needed!

    I would go with the 1060. It will get drivers support longer. More VRAM in case you upgrade to 1440p - 3840p. New warranty. Definitely will not bottleneck. Else, save the money, get the 970, use the saved money for a full motherboard, RAM, CPU upgrade. EDIT: My bad looks like I am late to the...

    Vega refresh - Expected? How might it look?

    You can not ignore the other half of the story. Their new CPU offerings are, what I would frame as, more competitive than anyone expected. Besides, doesn't AMD's stock price specifically suggest that investors are in fact bullish on AMD specifically?

    Vega refresh - Expected? How might it look?

    It is hard to take a hot, power hungry, large die sized card that arrived a year late and expect AMD to suddenly alleviate at least one of these main drawbacks or pull a 1080ti competitor out of their hat. I understand why people conceive of this fairy tale, but it is simply not a grounded...

    How does the 2500K look today?

    Modern upgrader's dilemma: Is <current CPU> bottlenecked in any of the applications I use? If yes, upgrade. If no, continue. To what degree will I see performance improve with <new CPU>, what features will become available with <new chipset>, and are these two benefits worth the cost of <new...

    ASML slide describing the difficulties facing semiconductor scaling

    I agree. I am imagining a theoretical world in which we hit 5nm and *boom*, we are stuck for many years. What market forces would be the most significant, drive the most change, and in which ways would this result in actual products changing? Or would we not see *any* change? I think it has...

    ASML slide describing the difficulties facing semiconductor scaling

    So is it possible that we are moving towards a world in which we are stuck at 5nm or even 7nm for closer to a decade than not, resulting in a very mature "modern" process in which die size inflates to compensate?

    JH-Nvidia: Volta not coming soon.. and may be "expensive"

    So the TLDR here is that there will not be any new cards for 6-8 months, so what we see from both AMD and NVIDIA is all we will get. If Vega manages to start taking share from NVIDIA (mainly the Vega 56 due to its value proposition, especially when overclocked), do you suppose we will see a...

    Ryzen, Skylake, and everything that's coming next. (MEGA discussion thread)

    Bingo. I posted essentially the same thing to a similar comment on r/hardware a few weeks ago. This is such a powerful video, and I have been reminded of it on a daily basis since I first saw it years ago. It might actually be the most powerful video relating to corporations I have ever seen and...

    What current generation AMD or Nvidia card do you use for your primary home desktop?

    GTX 770... Was going to buy the 1070, but the DX12 performance seemed lacking. The 770 is too old now, so I will have to buy the (I presume) Pascal refresh unless Volta is imminent, and unless this mining craze is still in full force. Unfortunately, it seems AMD has traded their competitiveness...

    Discussion Intel current and future Lakes & Rapids thread

    I'm with him. I do not need to upgrade my 3770K, but want some really enticing reasons to do so anyways... Recent years have yielded very marginal performance and feature improvements, or in some cases even regression *shivers*. Furthermore, new process tech does not seem to be translating into...

    ETA on iPhone 7 Deep Dive Article?

    I could understand how deep dives (or at least our definition of a "deep dive") may be a thing of the past, but they specifically mentioned that it would be coming. I don't mind them not having one as much as I mind them saying there will be one and then not providing.

    ETA on iPhone 7 Deep Dive Article?

    It was suggested in the iP7 Review that there would be a subsequent article taking a closer look at details such as the A10 cores, custom GPU, etc, and it would be posted sometime within the next month. But here we are closing in on 2 months and there is yet to be such an article. I was really...

    Apple A10 Fusion is ** Quad-core big.LITTLE **

    Apple mentioned that the headphone jack was taking too much space due to its aged design, and that they needed that room for additional hardware. Was this to make room for the big.LITTLE since they need additional room for the additional hardware? Or, if I recall correctly from the presentation...

    92% of Steam users use 1080p or under, so is GTX1070+ overkill?

    Would be a good example if the requirements to run games did not increase with each passing month... I mean, is it harder for a Porsche to overcome air resistance one day to the next? Or does the required power to turn a tire increase with every mile driven? Whereas a Porsche is always...

    Any other sites provide reviews as detailed and informative as those on AT? They are unchallenged, albeit when they actually provide a review. But my curiosity is getting the best of me and I want a quality article to dig into.

    92% of Steam users use 1080p or under, so is GTX1070+ overkill?

    Wow, I didn't know we were allowed to make reasonable posts in this thread. Way to buck the trend! But seriously, the 1070 is also great for people like me who favor extreme performance over visuals, but still wants their games to look acceptable. I prefer a solid 250 FPS on my 144hz 1080p...

    92% of Steam users use 1080p or under, so is GTX1070+ overkill?

    All I know is that Steam only has about 95% of the games worth playing on the PC, and that the vast, vast majority of PC gamers have a Steam account. So yeah, I have absolutely no clue what point you are trying to prove.

    Hi all, I have a 20-25 foot Ethernet cable connecting my PC to my router. I have no idea how old it is - all I know is that I found it in my basement about 5 years ago and have used it ever since. Will upgrading to a new one provide me with faster Internet speeds, or do all Ethernet cables...

    PCIe 3.0 vs 4.0 implications on video card performance?

    So bandwidth will improve, but the impact on performance will be negligible. I assume this upgrade will really only be beneficial for storage upgrades then?

    PCIe 3.0 vs 4.0 implications on video card performance?

    So I've been reading up on PCIe 4.0, and expectations for it are speeds of 32GB/s. The question is, are video cards getting capped by the current PCIe 3.0 interface, therefore making an upgrade to PCIe 4.0 a no brainer? I am trying to decide whether to upgrade now (from Z-77, 3770K to X-99...

    [Hardocp]GeForce GTX 1080: Most Bizarre Secret Paper Launch Ever

    It's not low. In fact, it's quite impressive... It's just lower than the 2.1GHz used at the Pascal event. Nothing wrong with that, but getting a card up to this speed better be attainable or I will be damn near pissed. :D

    Anyone know when the NDA on the 1070 will lift so we can get some reviews to look at?

    Which should one should I choose?

    Get the 970. Sell it. Use the 780 alone until the next gen Nvidia / AMD cards come out, then sell it as well. Use the funds to buy a brand spankin new 16nm card. I wouldn't even open the 970.

    Are you buying a GTX 1070/1080?

    Waiting for next gen when they can really utilize the new process node to its maximum potential. Also, awaiting the utilization of HBM2. Finally, a card built 100% for DX12.
