A great gpu won't do much good unless there are games being developed for the platform which there won't be if only a select few can afford them. We shall see how it plays out.
At some point you will either need to be rich to buy a decent card or go into hock or do without other things. This will not make for a healthy pc gaming environment or ecosystem. To keep pc gaming viable you need to lower the barriers to entry. Instead many gamers will choose a console and pc...
All valid points but what what is going to keep this cycle from repeating and becoming the norm? At what point are 99% of the gamers completely squeezed out and throw in the towel?
There might not be anymore pc gaming unless AMD and Nvidia start making cards that people can afford and actually purchase. It seems like it is a slippery slope right now. You need a healthy gpu market in the long term and it is anything but that.
Your post is spot on. It is obvious that cheap apu's are low on AMD's priority list and for good reason. It is as obvious as the nose on the proverbial face.
TBH this is just a silly question. That being said I can see that it is well meaning. Every miner in the world could go offline and it would not help the problems in Texas.
The research you should have done is that H80i is not up to the task of cooling any modern high end cpu. The 5800X doesn't run hot. The problem is your cooler is just a tiny piece of junk with maybe an ounce of liquid in it. Would you try to cool a 455 cubic inch V8 with the radiator from a 1.6...
And it is only going to accelerate and eventually hit critical mass. The Elf doesn't seem to get what inertia and momentum are. They are extremely difficult to stop let alone reverse.
When you think about it Intel has lost leadership in both cpu design and fabrication. I know I am captain obvious here but they have two mountains to climb. The odds are really stacked against them. Plus they have given no reason for anyone to have any confidence they will be able to get back...
Yeah, it was expensive. To me the whole premise is stupid. Mid sized pc with a huge, bulky, ugly power brick to boot. How is that any better than having say a mini itx or even micro atx pc with industry standard parts that can actually be fixed when it breaks? I am not a gamer but the power...
Yes, I saw that when I took it a apart. But thanks anyway. I see there are LGA 1151 boards and LGA 1151 (300) series boards. I guess I would need a Z270 board all of which have been long discontinued.
My friend brought me his dead machine. The following parts have tested good. GTX 970, SSD, mechanical hard drive and the DDR4. The following items I could not test. CPU as I don't have a LGA 1151 board, motherboard as I don't have another cpu to swap in, proprietary power brick also. My...
For years you have been saying things aren't bad for Intel yet you are never correct still you keep at it while things just keep getting worse. While you say AMD will come back to earth yet they continue to gain ground. It has been going on this way for 4 years.
They have a different vision that isn't getting them anywhere unless you call being overtaken and beleaguered and having your stock hammered positive developments.
Elf, your rose colored interpretations of Intel remind me of people who think because we have a cold winter global warming isn't true. Intel makes a lot of money but what they make would literally be swallowed up to build a state of the art fab today. They don't have the capital to pull it off...
It is ironic a fabless company like AMD is helmed by Dr. Lisa Su who went to M.I.T. and is a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Was an engineer at Texas Instruments, I.B.M., Freescale. But a company like Intel has an accountant in charge. Bob Swan has a MBA...
This poll is ridiculous. The
This poll is ridiculous. All those PowerPC processors were better than anything Intel had to offer at the time. Apple built some great Macs with the 601, 604 and 604e variants. The Performa series was gimped till the 6500 came along. Also the IBM 970 was the G5...
You can't muscle a heatsink off. Turn the pc on. Warm up the thermal interface material. Then some light back and forth twists and light tugs will usually break the vacuum/adhesion. You can also get a flathead blade screwdriver out in a pinch if you know what you are doing. You twist the blade...
If you want to try it good luck finding a new cpu. Been there done that. Accidentally of course. Doing it on purpose? Well that would be akin getting into an auto accident on purpose because you think your airbag would save you.
Microsoft going the Apple route and using their own ARM cpu's in Surface laptops and desktops and hardware for their data centers.
