I bought an AMD GPU because when I first built my PC I had no idea what the difference was 

Their priority should be to make a 4core Zen CPU with integrated graphics with HBM on the level of latest x60 nvidia cards or x70 amd cards.
 
 
AMD needs to do something NEW and hardcore like that to pull them out of this shithole their in.
 
Imagine mounting a zotac zbox with the mentioned Zen APU on the back of your freesync supporting huge 21:9 OLED monitor. You get to enjoy artifact free gaming on a setup that doesnt have a PC case at all. 
 
The whole market needs to slowly move to smaller hardware. We are seeing the start of this already today. The PC tower will be a thing of the past just like room sized calculators are now.

TL;DR
You know what it is all about too..

A few things
 
- Bought a somewhat low-end card instead of saving up for a better one.
- Bought a board that doesn't support SATA 3.0 thinking i would never buy an SSD.
- Cheaped out on the PSU.

When i was building my first PC i made a mistake of buying a pre-build PC.
Never again!

I've seen EVGA send gtx 980s instead of an 780ti

This is nVidias fault, for not accepting FreeSYNC even though it's open source.

this demo is created by Benoît Dereau ,level designer and 3D artist of Dishonored.
Unreal engine 4 is soreal. Cant wait for games using UE4 engine!!
mind blown
VVVV try out the demo!

1. nobody needs ssds (two years ago)
2. its a good idea to clock a q6600 to 4.3 ghz on a ws board (two years ago)
3. nvidia masterrace (two years ago)
4. more cpu cores mean better performance (five years ago)
5. you can work with sap if you just try to (4 month ago)
6. linux sucks (2years ago)
7. there will never be an usable android device (two years ago)
 
years are meant to show when i actually was convinced that i am wrong
ive learned my lessons you culd say

Tagging @LinusTech and @Slick in this one.
 
Wendell over on Teksyndicate recently posted this thread and I highly recommend you all check it out: https://teksyndicate.com/forum/linux/community-linux-content-ideas/191796
 
Linux is so amazing in so many ways and especially among the tech community, it needs (and deserves) FAR more attention than it receieves. Logan and the gang are in the process of planning and creating content specifically aimed at Linux and to help those who aren't familiar get more interested/informed about Linux. There is a stronger presence of knowledgable Linux users on Teksyndicate, who've been spurring-on and suggesting they put out some Linux-specific content. This will help spread knowledge and push more people to start using Linux (or at least try it), but we need more people on-board. The more people use it, the better it will get. 
 
Linus and Slick, I would like to put forward a request and challenge to one or both of you to start using Linux on a daily basis for a variety of tasks (email, work, gaming etc.). The thing is - it can't just be for a 2-week period, it has to be for long-term use. I would suggest building a Linux-specific PC, install steam and some other programs you guys use on a regular basis and give it a go. I understand this will require extensive research on your behalf as you guys don't have much prior knowledge with Linux (I believe, correct me if I'm wrong), but the fact remains -  Linux is fast becoming an important part of the tech community and is slowly but steadily gaining traction/popularity. More and more games are being natively supported and more and more programs are becoming compatible as well.
 
Many of us in the tech community are not "the typical user", which is partly why I hate it when people from the tech community use that argument against Linux saying; it's not for the typical user. We overclock, tinker and experiement with our PCs and equipment, and we enjoy doing it. Linux is perfect for people like us. It holds so many benefits for the power-users and even for "the typical user", but people don't know this and will never realize it unless more recognition is given and supported by the community. It's not just for the "elite few", it is and can be for everyone - depending on what your needs, preferences and interests are.
 
Linus, Luke, what do you say? (Obviously you don't have to give an answer here and now, but at least give it some serious thought?)
 
What do the rest of you think? Should LTT put out some Linux content? Go over some of the more popular distros, explain where Linux came from and how it's different *cough* and better *cough* than windows... Take a look at which hardware is best to use with Linux and why... Show how easy it can be to adopt a newb-friendly distro like Ubuntu or Mint for daily use and share that experience... There's a lot they could cover and I firmly believe this could open a lot more eyes because people who normally avoid the Linux sections/discussions among the forums would more likely watch these videos and perhaps develope on a new appreciation for Linux. Like I said earlier; the more users, the better it will become.
 
Thoughts?
 
 

if we're going to bitch and whine about every company that faked an effect for an expo we'll list every company in existence.
 
so long as it works when it's possible for people to buy it, there's no problem.

Welcome to the world of marketing.    "Our competition did something really shitty! come buy one of our cards! we didnt do that one thing that they just did!"   I love that when nvidia does shady as shit marketing its "just marketing, settle down" but when AMD plays off a nvidia marketing failure in the name of marketing the forum cries "childish!"

Meh, I was somewhat interested until they said it would be a new socket. Especially speaking I just got an i7, I doubt the new CPU will be able to rip me away from Intel

Ummm .... I really don't think the 280 is a good card for 4k. It is nice though to see AMD take the initiative though, they are still good cards and AMD has AMAZING prices at the moment. I'm contemplating picking up 2 290x but am waiting for the 300 series to see what they offer and for the price drops that normally come with the launch of a new card.

plz fllw mi on myspac if u cri evrytm

i think people forget that they have the best APUs currently 

End of AMD: "Owns  30-40% of hundred millions worth market"

my favorite operating system is ubuntu for it's speed, compatibility and pretty user interface, but unfortunately getting away from windows is hard, so I dual boot.

If that's a 380x then all hail 390x, if that's a 390x then it's cool, now all amd has to do is price their gpu's cheaper than the 980/970 and win.

In your sig.
 
" Motherboard: Asrock 960GM (U3S3/FX)  RAM: 8GB Team Elite 1600Mhz + 4GB Samsung 1333Mhz"
 
So what you are saying is that you put an FX cpu on a garbage board with the wrong chipset(760G), 2 different ram makes and models with low speed, and you say your having problems.
 
You dont say....

Get quiet fans. The Define R4 and H440 are the quietest but their fans aren't actually 'quiet-tier' fans.

i dont think i should paste my last link.... it is NSFW

The shock had some weird radiation embedded, making his #1 gaming rig infuse with his body. Now half man/half intel+nvidia gaming rig - he can walk the streets and game; AT THE SAME DAMN TIME.
 
He solves crime by breaking into console peasants homes, and blinding them with his hand/mouse's optical bean for ruining games for the pc master race.
 
His 1200 PSU embedded in his legs gives him the ability to outrun a train.
 
His quad 980s infused with his eyes let him see through walls, and have a huge render distance. Real life finally has good graphics.
 
> Finally a superhero I think would be awesome. Can somebody draw him (Possibly punching a console peasant [peasant has to be wearing a fedora])

So looks like AMD plans on becoming GPU kings soon (hopefully not of just their own products lol). 
 
Anyway, hopefully rumours are right and the 380X is the 980 (it'll have to be at this point) competitor and the 390X will compete with whatever NVIDIA spits back at them
 
EDIT - I have a feeling he said all he saw is 300W because of the shock of 300W please excuse me if I look like a cooked dog now

All I saw is 300W.
