DVI cables seem to have this quality where even when they're oriented correctly they still need a couple of tries.

El Scotch posted:I dare say that unless Zen can make Intel sweat, they will have little compulsion to put out a general hex-core. :/ However outside of rendering, movie editing and other easily broken up tasks it's not useful at all. DX12 and gaming is not at all close to being multithreaded since it's super difficult to make (I am told).

Twerk from Home posted:I'm really hoping for some nice chipset features on Z170. I'm still not sure if I should refresh my Phenom 2 & DDR2 machine now, or keep waiting for Skylake like I was planning. All that I seem to lose by waiting is $30 that I'll have to spend for DDR4 vs DDR3. Would you please, for the audience, list these nice features you'll be gaining by waiting?

It depends on ambient temperatures. If you live in Alaska I'd be worried, in Texas I'd also be worried but not because of the higher temperatures.

Are there any thunderbolt pci-e cards available that don't need a thunderbolt header on the motherboard? Or are thunderbolt in a weird limbo of not being successful but backed by billions of dollars.

Mid tier CPUs are cheap. Hell all Intel chips are cheap. If you want high end over the top idiocy give ibm a call.

DrDork posted:Mid-tier CPUs aren't egregious, but they're certainly padded with pretty fat margins (and far fatter than in years past) because Intel has the luxury of being a defacto monopoly on everything north of "poo poo box" in the desktop market, and everything north of "Walmart special" for laptops. IBM meanwhile operates in a segment where cost-per-chip is almost irrelevant. Is price per IPC really that bad now? I think you'll find that prices for processing power has dropped and dropped. Before you reply with the factual data remember to factor in inflation. Edit: If you want to compile a dataset I'll be more than willing to analyze it for you. I feel pretty confident it'll show processors improving a rapid pace. champagne posting fucked around with this message at 13:26 on Sep 3, 2015 |

Skandranon posted:They also don't need to soundly defeat Intel in any specific performance metric, as they can also seriously compete on cost/core. This is not a metric you even bother looking at when designing servers that run 24/7. Perfromance per watt is still king and this is unlikely to change.

With graphics cards the size they are its hard to go smaller. And yes I realize there are itx options for some cards but there's not that many. You can probably also guess what dictates the size of itx enclosures.

Malcolm XML posted:it turns out that graphics is barely affected by halving or quartering the pcie link bandwidth: https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Impact-of-PCI-E-Speed-on-Gaming-Performance-518/ This is because, as I understand it, because you load the entire dataset of what you might want to render from into the memory of your gpu. A smaller pipe from pc to egpu should only mean slightly longer loading times.

That doesn't seem offensive to me in the least. But then again my computers are either brand new and windows 10 machines, or decades old xp boxes chained to scientific instruments so I won't have issues either way. I can also see why MS would like to shorten the life of windows they want to support. Supporting an OS, I assume, is expensive as all balls.
