Man, if this goes on sale where i live, i am DEFINETIVELY getting this for my next build. And, hopefully its as easy to work in as most Raijintek products (aka, all screws, no rivets)

Honestly, mixing different brands graphics cards sounds like a compatibility / driver nightmare to me. Good luck trying to optimize  that.
 
Actually what I would be most interested in is somehow unlocking the ability to use the iGPU on the CPU in tandem with the graphics card. Right now the iGPU is seen mostly seen as a useless afterthought by most gamers, but that would be a gamechanger.

Deus Ex Mankind Divided isnt?

It mainly depends on the games and resolution you play at.
at 4K you should basicly see a pretty good scaling in games that are good optimized to work with crossfire or sli alike.
But if you play at lower res like 1440p then it realy depends from game to game.
Gpu demending games should be able to show a pretty nice scaling.
But there are also games in which the scaling will be garbage regardless of whatever api is used.

Not worth that kind of price tag. Saying that I wouldn't mind a case that small.

I doubt it has anything to do with password dumps. There's no way they could steal this much in one swoop with a password dump from another source. I think its more likely there was more going on on their servers that didn't 100% secure their users. This is why I always keep my wallet close to home, stored offline.

Turning Cortana off is easy, you just say "Cortana, i thought you were really cute in Halo." Then she says she just wants to be friends and never talks to you again. problem solved.

i find it hillarious, that whenever AMD has a major issue, that is not specific to game performance, but rather general usage. the issue is generally acknowledged and fixed in a week.
 
When Nvidia has a major issue, they spend 14 days + concocting some sort of PR statement, then another month or two fixing the error. Make me think that Nvidia doesnt take their customers seriously.
 
Also bit funny that when AMD fails, they get flamed to death just hours after bug is found. When Nvidia fails, nobody says a word and just sweeps it under the rug for as long as possible...

No. The event IS the cause. End of story. Not recognizing it as the cause of the current instability is no more or less than negligence. Imagine if the gov of Argentina and others merely said "Given the state of our economy now and for the foreseeable future, we cannot pay our debts." It would be an utter outrage to fail to attribute (at least in part) the massive decrease in revenues from tanking world oil prices.

That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.
 

Brexit voters are dumb - those are my thoughts

Blocking websites in chat boxes is probably the most shocking thing I have experienced on Facebook and steam between people in your friendslist

CD Projekt Red are my favourite developers. I love GOG too. Preordered No Man's Sky there. DRM free is the way forward!

I normally wait to buy games when they're at least half price, but I intentionally bought The Witcher 3 at full price because of the lack of DRM.

It's not even that. HDCP prevents interception attacks. It prevents you from using capture hardware to create a recording from playing the media in real time. WHO EVEN DOES THIS WITH DIGITAL MEDIA!? If anything demonstrated that these people were stuck in the fucking 80s with VHS and taping music from the radio...
 
Real copy protection is bullshit, too. If I want to buy the Blu Ray in order to put rip the full lossless HD (or UHD) version on my NAS for my own personal convenience, then why should I not be allowed to do that? If I have that much hard disk space on my home network (and I very much do), then why is this legally not an option available to me? Well it legally is allowed strictly speaking, but this is what copy protection is seeking to prevent.
 
You want to know what happens when this option is taken away from me? I stop buying Blu Rays. I don't want the disk itself, I want the 40GB lossless mkv, ideally with a physical backup to have somewhere but not at hand.

I found out about TW2 through piracy (saw it on the front page of KAT. RIP KAT ) then after playing through it and realizing that it was easily worth my money I bought it and TW1. Thus ensuring that I was a hardcore CDPR fan by the time TW3 came out. Which to date is the only game I've preordered (not counting early access or kickstarter games like Star Citizen and Kingdom Come Deliverance) due to my faith in CDPR. Obviously they delivered and I can't wait to see what they do with Cyberpunk2077 even though I'm not really a fan of the setting.

Seriously? I've got pensioners using Linux ffs. I've been told by many people that its actually easier to navigate than Windows and these are total noobs xD. Linux distro's are very well designed.

it's just telemetry man 
we just want to know how many times you open the groove app man
it's anonymous man
why you care man, google does it too man
 
ayyyyyy lmao
 
never be so excited to wait and see how the LTT Microsoft Defence Force will answer to this

Last I checked a keylogger can and does collect personally identifyable information. This isn't stupid. Microsoft should be punished for this.

- MS collects more than just crash dumps/logs
- Windows sends data to MS everytime I'd open the picture app, look at another picture, play the next track in Groove, if I browse a (non-MS) webpage in Edge and so on. They don't just collect diagnostic and telemetry data as the advertising ID should make it obvious, they collect what I do, what I listen to, what I search for on the web and so on to target ads and built out the advertising profile that's connected to my MSA (somewhat funny that MSA sounds just like NSA in this case...)
- Windows records full dumps and sends them to MS in the event of a crash which also includes personal data, master passwords and sensitive information for example kept in memory by SSL sessions, pasword vaults etc.
- Keylogger records everything I type, including personal information
-> I'm not saying all of that data is being used maliciously but I don't want it to be collected at all
 
I tried out Windows 10 Technical preview, after all of the data collecting was made public that it is still being done in the final version I switched to Linux.
 
The only way I contine to use Win10 is locked down, reinstalled, no MSA linked, all 'Apps' deleted, triple firewall (hosts, forwarding table, router), various routines of programs used to limit data collection (registry, hosts, settings) just with a whitelist for gaming services I need to connect to and GPU pass-through.
I don't like the idea of software always having to be linked to a profile that's also linked to my shopping, social media, web browsing etc and don't use cloud services like Google Docs at all.
 
You may not care about data collecting and be happy to provide MS with whatever information they want but there are people that do care and should have the right to keep their privacy, especially since many nether agreed to Windows 10's policies because they got it forced on them when Windows 10 installed itself over night after they maybe clicked on an X in the upgrade dialogue.

You must have a bad memory. Sending reports after a BSOD was possible through the prompt that always poped up on the next restart. Microsoft doesn't need to be collecting data constantly to get data on BSOD.

As I said, "with the exceptions of games", you can find good open source alternatives to pretty much everything. Heck, you can even find online browser-based tools as replacements (google sheets, cough*).
