    Yup, and they’re making custom ones for Apple now too.
    Nvidia also made dual GPU cards years ago.

    IIRC, JayzTwoCents demonstrated that the whole AiO v high end air cooler debate really hinges on what ambient temperatures are like. AiO tend to outperform high end air coolers in hotter environments, even if the opposite is true in cooler environments.

    It’s not a huge difference. Basically the same difference between a FourTwo and a Peterbilt.

    It looks pretty standard IMO. The MPX modules are just passive, more up to date versions of cards like the Titan Z or 295x2, with a different power connector.
     
     
    Overall, not much new is really brought to the table with this system, just the dedicated power slot.

    Seeing as solder is used as a thermal interface material, yes.
     
    Except that for the vast majority of tasks, the FX lineup couldn't compete with Intel chips' performance.
     
    Whereas Intel's 8 cores and AMD's 8 cores are pretty close to each other. And, unlike AMD, Intel has a large enough bank account that they can advertise to the masses, who don't know how to compare CPUs outside of GHz.

    How about reading all of my comments? Hell, read the one before the last one I made:
     
    I have acknowledged, time and time again, that RAID 1 is not a comprehensive backup. I've said that RAID 1 is only useful as a basic backup for drive failure and nothing more.
     
    And I don't give a shit about the specifics of your company's backup system. It's irrelevant. It doesn't counter anything I've said. It doesn't build on the argument. As far as I'm concerned, it's nothing more than a weak appeal to authority to weasel your way out.
  12. Agree

    I don't run RAID.
     
    Nor is that the type of system failure RAID 1 covers. It's a backup system that covers a disk failure. I've said that, multiple times.

    TB3 only supports 4 lanes of PCIe 3.0.
     
    That 40gbps number is the maximum bandwidth a controller can support when combining USB, DisplayPort, and PCIe signalling.
    For anything running PCIe over Thunderbolt, bandwidth would double, which would reduce the bottleneck on higher end GPUs like the 1080 and up.

    Watch, it's going to have a smart connector on the back and they'll sell dongles to add back the lightning connector. And then Belkin will launch a better version that has the lightning port AND still allows wireless charging.
