He's salty cause he sold way too many copies under early access rather than retail pricing.

I have the Samsung 27inch curved 144hz QD, Initially it is very noticeable, but give it time you don't.

And what if he does? Its a basic principle of business, if a customer cant get what he wants from one place he will search for an other place that meets his expectations. Currently pirates have a better "service" than paying customers. The media industry is blindly pushing out  more unneeded and brutally restrictive DRM's without realizing how counterproductive what they are doing.

Have to totally agree, I am happily paying for Netflix in Australia, however when I see Netflix original content appear 8 hours before it hits AU Netflix it makes me mad. That is total BS.

I have 2 razer mice the Lachesis is over 5 years old, no breaks. The Orobouros is 2 years old no breaks.

What on earth are you doing to your mice the break them?

Hey all,

 

I current have a Cooler Master CMStorm TK and am looking to upgrade. It's a decent keyboard, but I only bought it because it was a ridiculously good offer. I have a few requirements that I'd like for a new one:

 

- Preferably brown switches (what I'm used to), but open to suggestions. I don't care if it's Cherry.

- Must have a full layout, including numpad - my biggest gripe with my current one is that it is tenkeyless. 

- Backlighting of some sort - RGB would be cool but not a priority.

- Has to be black - although it's hard to find one that isn't.

- Wrist rest might be nice - although have heard that it can be good to get these aftermarket?

- Macro keys would also be a plus

 

My budget is $150. 

 

If this isn't the right place to ask, lemme know. Thanks!

 

From my experience avoid Corsair, my 2nd K70 RGB is in for RMA for the dreaded double typing that's a common issue (Both were RMA'd for the  same thing).

Replaced with a Razer Chroma RGB but that induced arm pain, followed by a CM masterkeys pro s (Brown). Personally I use a gel wrist wrest and it is by far better than any included wrist wrest.

A positive from this, you just got a CPU upgrade.

That would be company suicide. I cannot see them doing something like that. It's one thing with TITAN, but with the flagship GeForce card? Not gonna happen.

Arrogance and Nvidia stinks of it.

There has never been an AIB Titan period to my knowledge.

Closest was a Gigabyte that came with a WF3 cooler in the box. ref board and ref cooler.

The Asus or any of the Intel boards. Surely you can get a board off ebay for cheaper.

1700 is 26$ cheaper than 7700K - but I don't think the 1700 can stand up to the 7700K

In single threaded applications yes, but the 1700 will stomp the 7700k in multi threaded.

up here, the Zen prices are ridiculously retarded 

 

i7 7700K - 400$

i7 6700K - 440$

Zen 1700X - 465$

Zen 1800X - 600$

 

That's inline with everyone else, it's the 1700 (non X you should be comparing to 7700k for pricing.

The most important question is: IS IT HOT??

You have CPU's and GPU's mixed up.

bulldozers TJ Max was 72c,whats Kaby at?

Same old 2013 joke had to pop up.

I know ryzen is fully supported in W7 so that's where I'm heading.

That was a very smart move by AMD, people don't like w10 and to be forced to it with Kaby Lake was a seriously stupid move. The we have the TIM forcinging people to void their warranties cause Intel didn't want to spend a 1c more per unit on a decent TIM.

What model is your card? And did you register it with XFX?

XFX Radeon R 200-Series

1. 2 Year Standard
2. Double Dissipation (dual fan) models can receive Limited Lifetime with registration within 30 days of purchase.

What sort of cooler are you running?

go look in the news setion there are discussions about the next gpu's

The forced registration for Geforce Experience has dropped, no doubt they nerfed the older versions, so you have to give them your data. Also worthy of note there is no statement stating they won't sell your data.

I uninstalled Geforce Experience, I'll do my updates manually and use Raptr for my game DVR needs.

Not interested in a greedy nvidia selling my email to every tom dick and harry waving some cash at them.

Razer blade would be my pick. For those frequent times where I am bed ridden

hmmm... Well one problem is that I need shadowplay but if you say it's worth it i'll probably buy the rx460 instead.

AMD's gaming evolved app has recording software, Raptr. In fact you can use this with nvidia hardware. Personally i use Raptr with my 980ti over shadowplay as it doesn't have the 20 minute recording limit. If your streaming Nvidias software is better, but if your recording long sessions to edit later Raptr is the one to go with.

Indeed. So many factors you have to think of when you're a business looking into a new OS.

Back when XP was new, our office was all on 95/ NT4.0. We had this dial up remote access link to a small office, (Yes Australia's internet was shit back then too  )  That system when down many times a day every day. After weeks of campaigning to the IT manager that we needed to update that system to XP, I was finally given the green light. Once installed it was never an issue from that point forward.

Simply there has to be a clear advantage to use a new OS.

I like how people are ignoring the fact that businesses take forever before they upgrade to a newer operating system, and instead pinning it on "Oh, it's unstable/invasive/shit!". They do not upgrade as quickly as consumers do. Hell, some are still running Windows 95 and even MS-DOS.

 

Why do you think Windows XP was supported for 13 years? Because businesses didn't want to upgrade from it for the longest time, and by the time they finished testing Vista before rolling it out business-wide, Windows 7 was out. And even then, MS still had trouble convincing businesses to upgrade from XP, because XP still worked for those businesses.

 

I'm sure the stability and privacy of the OS are considered in there somewhere, but honestly, think about how a business works compared to consumers. Hardware and software cycles are much slower with businesses than consumers. They greatly prefer stability over the fanciest new things, because any amount of downtime can be very costly for them.

You also have to factor in high cost of training the staff, the IT staff & the lost productivity whilst they are being trained.

After recently picking up a 980ti i ran some 3d mark 11 benches. what i found was an old 2600k was outscoring a couple of later gen i5's with 1070 & 1080's. Yes 3d mark isn't the be all but it is a guide.

P19146 MSI 980ti Gaming 6G 1520 core/1878 mem - i7 2600k @4.5GHz - 16 Gb G.skill 2133 CL9 - Asus Z68 Deluxe Gen 3
P18486 - EVGA GTX1080 FTW @ 2100/5000 - 4670k@4.2Ghz - Avexir 2133Mhz - 16GB Asus Z87 Gryphon mATX
P18367 - Asus GTX 1070 ROG Strix - i5 6600k @ 4.2 Ghz - 16GB HyperX Fury @ 2800Mhz - Asus Maximus VIII Hero

I have also seen some talk recently that the i5 is bottlenecking the 1070 in 1080p 144hz applications. Up till now the i5 was always a good choice for a gaming rig. but now with Pascal is it still a good choice? Some testing & review would be nice.

I guess you missed the explanation Linus provided or chose to ignore it. Nerd Sports is not a Linus Media Group property, they were hired to do it and thus is not Linus Media Group content as they didn't release it (just stared in it). I don't know how much of the production was handled by LMG but it was contracted by Vessel and thus not LMG's content. You don't really think people who make commercials own the rights to them and the products do you? If somebody approaches you and hires to you build something you don't own what you built.

 

As for the timing of release... Vessel is smart, LMG is just lucky that Vessel is smart.

 

These kind of comments just show how little some people know about how business works in the real world.

Oh I heard it, technicalities can always get someone out of backing up previous statements. However When said "new production" is featuring the LMG staff, is promoted by vessel as LMG and is also promoted on a official LMG channel it doesn't hold water.

P.S. no need to get personal

Just pointing out what was said previously and keeping LMG honest.

https://youtu.be/8_ZCmMbfYd0?t=1m43s

So when Linus stated that "All Linus Media Group content will continue to be available for free on you tube and ad supported" it was just lip service to avoid the backlash of having people unsubscribe from his channels.

Also of note this new series pops up after the 1 year free offer expires.

Vessel even promote it as.
