Video Idea: Linus tries to get every 3DMark Achievement

So I posted this on reddit and it sort of took off, and a user suggested I post the idea on the forum so here it is.  
 
 
 I'll attach the image in case anybody has a issue seeing the embedded link. 

 

@GabenJr   @LinusTech I work for Parliament here in the UK (as a researcher for a Member), and I believe we have some relations with the exec team/public affairs team at Apple. Could write to them using my position in Parliament to see what they can do. It usually works. 
 
I am happy to provide proof I work for em (have my official email and other bits of ID) - if a mod or yourselves want to check this. 

We've partnered with Humble Bundle!

Before you go and lock/delete this thread:
 
I know we won't be getting a mobile app, and for perfectly valid reasons. But maybe consider a progressive web app (PWA)?
 
It's essentially still the same web based forum, but with all the advantages of a native mobile app. Although I don't know how difficult this would be to incorporate since the forum software of the LTT forums is 3rd party software...

what do we think of this? 

ah okay, atm i own a 960 Msi armour 4gb version it's nice but i wanted to get into high end but i'm starting to get mad at nvidia with the nvidia partner program

doesn't fit the question but buy a second hand 970 blows the 1050ti out of the water (bit exaggerated) and cheaper. if you don't like second hand parts go for the 1050ti

have a nice day my german neighbour 

yep, it states that feature on the specifiaction page on the gigabyte website
 
guess I mark this thread as solved then 

It's probably because it didn't support ECC at launch, no worries lad

green > red
(strictly for fanboy reasons!)

In single thread performance they will still be behind like 10% but Multicore will be a different story. If the highest model can achieve 4,5 Ghz all core that would be sick. I mean like 2000 Cinebench Scores +. Also gaming performance would be very competing. I would wait for zen+ actually

as far as i know it doesn't mean more than that there are 2 12 volt fans inside the laptop....
 
edit: and that it might be one of the earlier/first designs to have those?

Seems fair, i mean they are paying either way

ok thanks for clearing that up, the reason I don't have storage on the list is because I was going to take the 1 tb hdd out of the old pc and put it in the new one, I know that it will take forever to boot but it would stay on mist of the time anyway.

get it 2nd hand, way cheaper same perfomance

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WrjNLD something like this add in another 130 for the apu and that`s a nice build for your needs. You can always add another 1tb hdd for mass storage if needed ($50)

wait till the AMD apu`s come out those might be just what you need, you could get a build with such a cpu for 400 easy

i agree tbh, what i posted was if he wanted to get on a new platform, me not realizing he`s on skylake. he`s got a nice budget so he could even buy an i7 6700 orso

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/tauwer/saved/4LyRGX smthng like this ?
 
 
Edit- I`ve got the exact same thing

From that budgeting standpoint I think it's a waste to go from your functional Skylake Mobo to Coffee Lake mobo, why not just get an i5-6500 (non-k because of your board obviously)?  That makes for a fine quad-core upgrade that can handle modern games titles with ease (as Coffee Lake's IPC aren't that much better than a good Skylake i5).  Also since you're not getting a new GPU in that list, why the new PSU?  Unless your current one has awful coil-whine or has damage, you should be fine with your current PSU.
 
Save your money OP, and with that case upgrade get an SSD as well to boost your OS and essential files.  If budget is left over, maybe look at getting more RAM if you heavily-multitask but otherwise 8GB is fine for games right now (if you're not streaming at the same time, or running Photoshop under heavy load).

if you are in this price range wait for ryzen apu`s that would be the best fps/$
