Those designs are absolutely garish. Their current X99 motherboard lineup is more aesthetically pleasing. This refresh just seems like they took some unified colors and picked whatever designs they had lying around including heatsinks. Their flagship the GA-X99-Designare EX looks horrible in...
Looking at the first page and the way the notches line up there seems to be an even bigger gap in the notches than it should be and look at the way it is sitting in the socket.

I've cleaned dust blades before with soft bristled paintbrushes and it allows me to clean PCB as well without fear of damage or scratching. Also have used it on heatsinks too and it seems to work fine. I probably would blow on it afterwards just to make sure a bristle or hair is not left over...
So from looking at that graph and chart than Fermi isn't affected by it but Keplar is as well?
Does that also explain why the GTX 970 struggled with VRAM issues?
I don't think it will annihilate even previous generation cards. When you add up the percentages in actual fps compared to previous generation cards and current generation cards you see that the difference becomes smaller than the percentages show. For example the 780Ti is about equal to a 970...
I'd agree but the problem is that it's not consistent. Some terminals require you to dismount your power armor and others work even in power armor. It really doesn't make any sense why some work and others don't. I usually spend the majority of my time in power armor so dismounting just to use a...
If you can look around and see if you find the plastic clamshell that the CPU came in. It's anti-static and it gives it some protection. Anti-static bags are very important in my opinion or at least shipping in an anti-static tray or something of that sort.
I think Wargame and World in Conflict are among the top in my opinion. I haven't seen anything that came out that could really rival either of those for real time strategy.
If they are pushing forward Vega to Q4 of this year then either HBM2 yields are improving or they are looking to launch Vega with the Zen platform possibly like they did in the past with the Dragon, Spider platforms.
It's too early to tell whether or not consumers will be willing to pay more for founders edition video cards over a non-reference design. Non-reference designs can also be very quite capable and may be better in several aspects. AMD hasn't released Polaris so if Nvidia charges this kind of...
What about the pricing of flagship dual-GPU cards such as the Titan Z and others? Even older generation dual-GPU cards were generally quite affordable and do not reflect what pricing generally is set as now for dual-GPU video cards. This is part of the reason why I stopped upgrading so often...
I am trying to go based on warranty period for video cards now. If a video card has a warranty for 3 years then I assume it will be good for that time period and then I can warrant an upgrade afterwards. I've used video cards for longer than 3 years but at some point they become bottlenecks or...
Wow the 5870. When it launched it was so difficult to get one of those. I remember I went with a friend to pick one up and we had to reserve it as I believe they only had one in stock at the time (from a Canada Computers).
On the subject of MSRP pricing I don't see how Nvidia can justify...
Well it's not just being able to sleep with power-armor it's being able to sometimes use certain objects such as workshops, crafting stations, chairs, terminals, etc... without requiring the player to dismount from their power armor. It's actually quite annoying.
I know that you can't sleep...
Gigabyte and ASUS have announced refresh motherboards in preparation for Broadwell-E. If you are willing to wait until they are available and in-stock then perhaps you should consider those. Otherwise ASUS,MSI, and Gigabyte seem to be the most popular depending on your budget.
Well the GTX 970 in SLI is equal to or slightly faster than a Titan X configuration. If we look at rumors and possible marketing slides then a 1070 may be the equivalent to a 980Ti while the 1080 is primarily competing with the 980 but is still faster than a Titan X. We won't know the truth...
Reading up on the internet I stumbled upon various issues with AMI Bioses and R9 290X's especially in Crossfire such as stuttering, audio crackling etc... This was supposed to be resolved with Driver updates and Beta bios updated but is anyone running a R9 290X Crossfire setup with either...
If you aren't using the 980Ti then I probably would sell it. When the GTX 1080 reaches consumers you will probably see depreciation in the 980Ti prices so if you sell it before the 1080 you will be able to save some value in the sale and avoid a sharp depreciation or depreciation that usually...
I'm hoping they introduce a mod whereby you can use the bed and other objects when you have power armor on. It's really frustrating to have to dismount power armor just to use a terminal or do something else especially if it's an environment with lots of hostiles.
From my experience I have found it's still better to go with a dedicated or discrete wireless solution. I wouldn't depend on motherboard wireless connectors and I have heard of stories whereby the connectors are fragile during insertion/removal even on flagship motherboards that have this feature.
I can't really see any potential bottleneck there. Your processor is clocked high enough to avoid any bottlenecks and your memory and GPU are good enough and since you only have one GPU you will be running the GPU at pci-e x16 2.0. The 970 may be a bottleneck but it's still a capable GPU.
I don't really have an addiction to SSD's but I have preference and bias for controllers and NAND memory used. I generally won't consider TLC NAND and prefer Toggle or V-NAND MLC over asynchronous/synchronous NAND. I still think that the SF-2281 with Toggle NAND (Toshiba) was one of the best...
I stopped generally buying OCZ products after Toshiba bought them out. Their warranty process was great and they had a Canadian RMA center which was beneficial to us Canadians instead of shipping to the US. From what it sounds like on the OP posts it seems like they are not trying to honor...
There was a recent article on the i5 2500K and even though it is a 5 year old CPU if it is overclocked you can match most modern cpu's and processors. For gaming it's still quite capable. The only upgrade you could really do would be to get a 6 or 8 core processor but it won't have much of a...
Costa Rica was a common site to see on their processors even going back a few years ago. I wasn't aware that they moved or stopped production there though. When did this happen?
The X5650 is not multiplier unlocked so you will need to do BCLK overclocking which is similar to FSB overclocking. Some of the W36 series (W3680 and W3690) are unlocked for multiplier overclocking
Most memory kits should be compatible at default speeds and latencies. When you try and run at...
I agree but their Revision 2 boards from the X58A series and their introduction of UD9 in their X58A lineup really was confusing especially since they cut-corners by downgrading their phases and also making the UD7 no longer the flagship and making the Rev.2 UD5/UD7 practically identical...
