The grand finally

Pretty sure you meant finale.

$159.99 for an RX 480 AND there's an additional $20 rebate, if you're on a tight budget then this is definitely the card to buy.

Keep in mind that it is a single fan non-reference design so it'll probably run hotter than most other variants.

(AFAIK expires at the end of the day February 6th PST, supplies probably won't last that long though.)

It's definitely a deal but nowhere near as good as newegg makes it out to be.

@just tilt if it makes you feel better this is ~$20 off, it's usually ~$120.

$245? Since it's clearly not $145? Yes. Lots.

There were posts on reddit

 claiming that people successfully purchased it for $145. 

In the February catalogue they listed the WD blue 1TB SSD which is regularly ~$260 for $145.99 (15 ¢/GB), this is most likely a mistake but they tend to honor the price when they make an erroneous listing. 

In order to purchase it for this price you'll need to show them the listing in the catalogue as the price on the product page will not reflect the price on the catalogue. You may have to wait until February to make use of this.

Here's a screenshot of the catalogue page in case they update it. 

YMMV

EDIT: They've since updated the catalogue.

On the wan show linus said that the prototype with hinged displays was a mock-up, the prototype with the displays that slid out was a working model.

That said, I don't know if this was a general comment for ultrabooks which doesn't have a dedicated graphics, or the codec used by the Edge web browser is really only CPU accelerated and therefore needs Kaby Lake.

**To run Netflix in 4K on a PC device, it must have a 4K-capable screen and use a 7th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor.

In order to stream above 720p on Windows you must be on Windows 8/10 and using IE/Edge or the Netflix app; alternatively you can also stream in 1080p on OSX with Safari.

The Netflix app, unless also updated, can only stream content up to 1080p, though it does have improved audio AFAIK.

Quote

Resolution: Stream in HD if your Internet connection supports 5 megabits per second or more.

• Google Chrome up to 720p
• Internet Explorer up to 1080p
• Microsoft Edge up to 1080p
• Mozilla Firefox up to 720p
• Opera up to 720p
• Safari up to 1080p on Mac OS X 10.10.3 or later

Psycho-Pass IRL

Have their been any rumours pertaining to the Zen APU release date;  IIRC it was supposed to be released early 2017, but I guess it'll be delayed since the Zen CPU was delayed from late 2016 to early 2017?

AFAIK you get 1080p with Internet Explorer on Windows 7 and up

Yep, and its not even their fault. Its the media industry and their BS DRM...

I've tried all browsers, Windows 7 doesn't get 1080p.

When I checked a little over a year ago it went up to ~3000KB/s (their higher tier 720p), it now only goes up to ~2200KB/s (their lower tier 720p).

AFAIK you need to be on Windows 8/10 and using IE, Edge, or the Netflix App to get 1080p (~4000-6000KB/s); you can also get 1080p on OS X with Safari.

and I bet its still the same crappy 2 channel audio with no 4k provided to PC's - only smart TV's

Forget 4k, you don't even get 1080p without Windows 10.

I'm quite concerned on the SFF. How the hell will that cool everything is beyond me.

What do you mean, 200 watts max TDP on the SFF (vs. the 500 watt TDP limit on the ATX tower) sounds perfectly reasonable?  

It'll obviously have less impressive specs, something like a 6700T and a GTX 1060 (maybe a 1070), but I don't think it'll have any issues cooling them.

This has always been the case. Internet Explorer and Safari supports 1080p Netflix too (but obviously Microsoft won't mention that when trying to promote Edge).

I remember looking into it several months ago and could never find a clear answer why this was happening. The most logical reason I found was that it had to do with DRM and "OS integration" of the DRM. That would explain why Chrome when running ChromeOS supports 1080p streaming, but Chrome in Windows does not.

If that's true (which it seems to be) then there is no technical reason for IE/Edge supporting it but Chrome/Firefox not to. It's just Netflix being stupid and worried about piracy.

Yeah, idk why everyone is making a big deal out of this now.  

I made a post around a year ago trying to get people to check what bitrates they get on different Operating Systems, browsers, as well as the app when I'd realized that it was impossible to get above 720p on Windows 7, and I'm sure I wasn't the first to notice that.

@Lethal Seraph
Might want to add to the post that the same sale is currently available on Amazon.

@Kana Seems like both Amazon and Newegg have been putting it on sale over and over again slowly chipping away at the price.

Amazon

Newegg

And this is the biggest highlight.

Much more interested in FreeSync low framerate compensation.

All this DirectX talk and not a single mention of Vulkan...

Because the DirectX 12 spec has been finalized, which basically means it exists, while the Vulkan spec has yet to be finalized.

I'm sure once Vulkan has its spec finalized that there will be just as much talk of it if not more.
