    nicehat reacted to SADS in Cryptominers Target AMD Ryzen CPUs for Their Big L3 Caches   
    I just kinda wish they'd mine on something useless, like old ISP routers or landline phones...rather than things that gamers and PC users didn't actually need in good supply/price.
     
    The fact that crypto is trying so hard to popularise itself just makes me trust it even less.

    nicehat reacted to Sors in No output from GPU all of a sudden.   
    Seems very unlikely that both GPUs would fail simultaneously, even more since the stream was still playing fine in your phone while the video was already out.
     
    Sounds more like a problem with the cable or with your monitor.  I would test those in another system if possible.

    I meant to write operating profit. Which would be correct. Although, it would only act to confuse this term with overall profit

    Looks like next quarter might be even better once epyc and vega sales show up on the balance sheet. Not to mention ryzen will continue to gain traction in the market with threadripper sales.

    Yeah, if you take a look at all the GAAP financials from Q2 of 2014 until now, you'll see that hold true

    nicehat reacted to beebskadoo in Xbox One hardware Updates   
    So what is to stop a game developer from releasing a game that only works with the updated console? forcing people who own the original to buy the new one...just stupid in my opinion. This goes back to when Microsoft said that 792P was more than good enough for gaming on the XboxOne and that the difference in hardware performance between them and the PS4 would be negligible...this to me shows Microsoft eating their words, because if it was good enough to begin with why change it so quickly?

    A section where the newest interesting happenings in the realm of science/math/physics/medicine can go. People have problems when these things go in tech news, and it would suck to have a new confirmation of Einstein's theory go under an Anime thread in the off topic section. What do you think?

    AMD is going to do what they always do. Pioneer a new way of thinking about chip design. Whether it leads to a paradigm shift (Athlon 64 extension) or not (Bulldozer/Piledriver), AMD is at least trying to shake things up and move the industry forward. *glares at intel

    Lol those 10x was literally "CEO Math", as Jen himself said. It's in extremely specific tasks, that just proves how gimped Kepler and Maxwell really are. Right now, there is no indication that Pascal will be useful for async shading either, but hopefully it will be.

    nicehat reacted to Notional in Unofficial R9 Fury X reviews master post.   
    How do you define a bait and switch? They fixed a problem in the review sample, making the product better. That is not a bait and switch.
     
     
    That would just be you. Kingston made their SSD model worse performing with worse hardware. It's the opposite here with AMD, improving the pump.
     
     
    NZXT's AIO's are all Asetek. Most of Corsair's are Asetek too. The 295x2 used a dual Asetek system as well. Fury X sadly uses Cooler Master.
     
     
    Most ITX cases that would fit a Fury X would have at least 1 120mm fan somewhere, so it's hardly a problem. If you buy a 6-700$ graphics card, I'm sure you would buy a case that would fit it.

    nicehat reacted to GzeroD in What kind of modem and Ethernet cable would I need for a 50mbps Comcast Plan?   
    It will be slower ... for things that go faster than the speed of the powerline. for everything else it will add about ~1ms of latency (less than wifi) and be faster than WiFi.
     
    @nicehat has been using one for a while at my sugestion and he loves the thing. he uses it to play competitive games online while twitch streaming. He was able to get full use of the 50up/50down FIOS plan available too him in his old apartment.
     
    Also 50mbps should be achievable on even an older quality Docsis 2.0 modem if the wiring too your home is good and your local node is not being overwhelmed.

    A full picture of Ryu's stage, Smash Bros.
     
    Fire Emblem's Roy and Street Fighter's Ryu may be joining the WiiU and 3Ds Smash Bros. character roster, if leaked footage of the two characters in Nintendo's all-star brawler is to be believed.
     
    Although the duo have not officially been announced, two short gameplay videos were posted before Nintendo took the videos down, fueling the rumor even more. 
     
    It is worth noting that in April, someone who had been data-mining Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS posted a list of sound files from the game. Included in that list were both Roy and Ryu.
     
    If it is indeed real, it's likely that Nintendo was planning to reveal the characters at E3 in a few days Never mind, its already been confirmed. Given that the videos show actual gameplay of both characters, they are more believable than other supposed leaks have been in the past.

    Looks like AMD switched from TIM to solder which warranted a pretty hefty thermal improvement. The A10-7870K should make for better overclocking than Kaveri. Securing higher frequencies at lower volts. Which is important as these chips have diminishing returns after 1.45V - 1.475V depending on leakage.

    nicehat reacted to That Norwegian Guy in nVidia's Tom Petersen raises a good point in AMD vs GameWorks issue   
    If you can get off your fanboy horse one instant, let me tell you it's the developers' responsibility to optimize their games for graphics cards based on the drivers available, not the GPU manufacturer's responsibility. Yet GPU manufacturers keep having to do it because of the sheer amount of programming incompetency in the game development mileu.

    games should not be developed so that graphics makers HAVE to go and release drivers just for a game, devs should do their best to optimise for any hardware. Do any inde games get special drivers, no, and they work hard at making their games look the best and keeping them optimised.

     USAF intelligence team with the 361st ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) Group, uncovered a meaty piece of intel during their routine sweeps of Islamic State-related social media accounts. Apparently someone took a selfie outside of a headquarters building and posted it online. Guess what happened next?
     
     
    The USAF hasn't released many other details and is specifically keeping the location of the former HQ under wraps. Bottom line, don't post pictures of your secret base in public forums because someone with airstrike capabilities could be reading.
