  1. Sometimes I feel this forum isn't even related to Linus at all... People in this thread say the want smaller then that, but can't give a good reason why.
  2. It's cheap right? A smartphone that costs more then most cars in this country.
  3. Only way they can get some marketshare back is reduce the prices again...AMD just has some of those weird problems... Why can a 950 do 8K DSR and have HDMI 2.0 but a Fury X only does 3200x1800 VSR and HDMI 1.4? Makes no sense.
  4. Yeah... do you think you are going to put a usb stick with a firmware update in your 10 year old blu-ray player and it magically plays 4K Blu-rays. They ofcourse want us to spend money again. While physical media is already dead. As for GPU I have no idea...
  5. Yes, Broadwell-E for X99 platforms. Please... pretty please Intel.... can I haz octacore for 500$? One 6 core, one 8 core and one 10 core hopefully
  6. I don't understand people that buy 960 and 970 instead of 380 and 390's. But then again I don't understand why people buy Fury X instead of 980Ti. Guess this market is a lot of Nvidia fanboys and a couple AMD fanboys but those are much more hardcore. No more room for the neutral enthusiast like me
  7. I think what you mean is that 4K 60hz can be done on 4:2:2 compression via drivers, yes Nvidia did that for older cards without HDMI 2.0
  8. AMD needs a new CEO to survive, maybe they need to be bought by glorious Samsung!
  9. Two 980Ti's get high 20's at 8K, so two Pascal cards can atleast do 40. If you disable Hairworks and maybe some shadows and foliage you get locked 60FPS at 8K.
  10. I feel bad for you because I game on the world fastest monitor and one one of those so called "slow TV's" you name without a problem. Except the difference from 144hz to 60hz which is huge, but then again I only play games that don't need more then 60hz like Witcher 3 on my TV.
  11. So then who is the Nano for? All reviews seem to have a problem answering that question so far. "I don't care about performance, I care about the size. But I don't want a 970 mini even when it's less then half the price. Derrrppppppppp
  12. That's why I got a 980Ti, lmao. Pascal is designed and marketed at 8K gaming, HBM is useless at 4K. Still don't understand why AMD went full retard on this card, never go full retard again AMD. Wonder what they do next year....
  13. Cheaper? How freaking cheaper do you want to get? This is cheaper then 1080P TV's lol.
  14. The same 4K resolution. OMG can't belive you ask this lol...
  15. I think the Nano is way more niche product then a 4K TV. 549$ for a 49 inch IPS 4K tv with Smart TV... who can say NO to that when 24 inch IPS monitors costs that much now. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/441683-us-amazon-49-inch-4k-tv-with-smart-tv-for-54999/ And I work at a big electronic store now and can tell you that our warehouse is filled with 80% 4K Tv's and 20% 1080P TV's. Sad I'm not allowed to take pictures because of security reasons
  16. Nope it's hardware. HDMI 2.0 has a much higher bandwidth. You can however still use your existing HDMI cables as long as they are "super speed"
  17. For my 4K LG TV that I have since 1.5 years? God 30hz was just cruel afwull on my R9 290...
  18. Yes, AMD fanboys really love "trying" to justify their shitty Fury and Fury X miss purchases by one single DX12 benchmark. But they don't care that their losing 20-25% on their 500 current games in their Steam Library for a card that costs the same or more. Guess we can't live in a world were everyone just buy the best bang for buck option... I bought the Tri-X R9 290 because it was miles better then anything Nvidia had to offer at that time including the more expensive GTX 780. I bought the 980Ti because it was miles better then anything AMD had to offer at that time including the Nano, Fury and Fury X. Next year, it will however I don't have to really care about price anymore, I will just choose the fastest card.
  19. I'm sorry for living in a civilized part of the world with good internet speeds But here is your proof: I get 205.76Mb/s on my ISP speed test btw, so yeah... we are "artificially limited" the network could easily do Gigabit
  20. No I'm getting mad at you because you say a 980Ti can't fit in a super small case. If you really wanted a small build you would have it 1 year ago when the super small 970's launched. Actually the 970 is a better card for living room PC because it has HDMI 2.0!!!
  21. Do you work at Nvidia or AMD? Do you have any sort of proof other the the shitty singularity benchmarks? Somebody must be a hardcore AMD fanboy to think the Fury X is ever going to come close to a 980Ti. No that it matters for me, I will be the first in line to buy two HBM V2 cards next year for 4K 120hz gaming.
  22. Then you need to get your eyes fixed son. I want to see your rig on Craiglist asap, because resolution is just a number right??? Why are you playing on a +2000$ rig when you can play on a glorious 50$ Xbox 360? You could use that money to buy more Apple stuff! Oh and don't forget to change your avatar.
  23. Because when you pay 650€ you ATLEAST expect a 1080P display for the sake of it.
