Except per that Phillip DeFranco tweet YouTube didn't remove the ad's from that Jimmy Kimmel piece. If Google's policy is to not allow videos of tragedies to be monetized then that is fine but it should actually be enforced across the board.
 
Of course HBO/Comedy Central/etc. have their own sweetheart deals with YouTube and don't have to deal with everything that the normal content creators do.

8x8 vs. 16x16 is a marginal difference that really doesn't justify the cost increase.
 
Where SLI could get to be an issue is if you are also using things like an M.2 drive (uses PCIe lanes) and so on.
 
Honestly a better reason to go for the 6850k is that it clocks better as a general rule. The 6800's are pretty much just low binned 6850's and tend to take a lot more voltage and cooling to produce the same OC's while also having a lower ceiling.
 
If you don't intend to push your chip past 4.2 GHz or so and don't actually need 40 PCIe lanes then the 6800k is probably the better buy for you, although I would wait for Ryzen to release (it's only a month or so away) and see what that looks like.

unless it's fiscal quarters, then all bets are off.

I went with the EVGA FTW hybrid. The cost increase was marginal, you can push the card decently higher when you OC it, and temp's/noise are significantly improved at base clocks and minor OC's.

Well then, you are surely ready to be a tremendously successful and a proficient system builder.  Best of luck. 

Grizzly Kryonaut for thermal paste 

If they wanted to do some kind of charity drive then they would be better off doing an auction for a top of the line system with the money going to charity. Given LTT's relationships with the industry they could probably get most of the components donated by the manufacturer's. Then put the finished product up for auction, the winner gets a trip to the LTT studio and gets to appear in the vid where they pick up their system.
 
Make it cost a 1 USD to place a bid (proceeds going to charity) and they could probably raise a good ten k plus while also making money off of the revenue from the vids. 

No.
 
There are plenty of reasons to get more RAM but to make use of a RAM disk for a game really isn't one of them. Now if you already have the RAM then using a RAM Disk for whatever can make sense but just for gaming is not a reason to invest in more RAM for a RAM disk.

Look, there is pretty much exactly one way to make any profit as an independent system builder. Build made to order custom systems.
 
Bulk buying of parts to build numerous copies of identical systems and then selling them without already having customers lined up is utterly dead end.
 
What people will pay for is for someone to take their idea and budget, and then give them the system that they wanted in a state where all they have to do is, quite literally, plug it into the wall. Do that for one to three hundred dollars more than cost and you will have some customers assuming that you are good at what you do.
 
Enough to live off of? No, almost certainly not. Somewhere between an order per week and an order per month? Very viable in many areas.
 
But what this means is that you need to be able to make good custom loops with hard tubing (if not more exotic tubing and case types), know the capabilities of most hardware on the market so that you can meet the customers needs without having to spend lots of your time on research, know how to OC both the CPU and GPU to their highest rock solid 24/7 acceptable OC's, and know how to set up whatever software that the customer wants.
 
For being able to to all of that, and using every trick to eck out a bit of extra profit, you will be able to get customers charging around two hundred dollars for your services (not having to spend days dialing in a rock solid OC and stress testing it or dealing with the hassle of parts testing and the like is worth around that much to a lot of people).
 
This is the kind of thing that you can do as a side business if you work from home doing other stuff, and if you are truly skilled then you might (in ten years or so) become another Origin or Puget Systems but I wouldn't bet on that one.

Given that Gigabyte has fucked up their UEFI for Kaby Lake at the moment and is massively over-volting the chip, you need far more detail on the specific testing methodology used for that claim to be accepted as accurate.
 
And no, the 7700k is an across the board performance boost with more features when compared to the 6700k for the same price. You should not be recommending that someone buy the 6700k for a new build at the moment when they 7700k costs the exact same amount of money, that is just straight up bad advice.
 
I would also note this picture.

The 7700k @4.0 Ghz and 1.176V has a total system power consumption under load of 111 while the 6700k @4.0 Ghz and 1.176V has a total system power consumption under load of 112.
 
At the same clock and same voltage the 7700k uses less power.

All of the following assumes that you are in the US.
 
1. Have at least $5,000 in start up cash. This an absolute minimum number and assumes that you already own all of the hardware, premises, etc. that you will need for your company.
 
2. Put together a detailed business plan for your idea.
 
3. Do research on licensing and permitting requirements at the state, local, and national levels for your business and premises. If you are planning to work from home/out of your apartment then check your HOA or lease for their position on home businesses. Check local zoning rules and ordinances for the same.
 
4. Design the various forms that your business will need, especially anything that the customer will see, and your record keeping system.
 
5. Take all of the research from 3 and 4 and go to a corporate lawyer (check with your local business development office or university for some recommendations) and pay them to 1) ensure that you are/will be in compliance with all relevant laws, 2) that all of your forms and systems are legally acceptable, and 3) draw up the relevant contract templates for you.
 
6. Form an LLC for the company. Again talk to a lawyer about how to dump as much liability onto the LLC as possible and how to shield as many assets as possible from potential lawsuits.
 
7. Get the relevant insurance, especially liability insurance. Yeah, your contracts with your customers should force any lawsuit into arbitration and specifically have them give up as many consumer protection rights as they can legally give up in your jurisdiction but you still want the insurance.
 
8. Get everything set up so that you are ready to go live.
 
9. Follow your business plan, adjusting as needed and as you see how good your projections and ideas were.

Uh...the Asus website?
Dear God. Millennials.

If you want a 1080 and want to spend around 750 USD then go for the EVGA FTW Hybrid, it's the best performance at that price point.

Problem here is that the 1070/1080 have been on the market for months now. People who waited for a Vega card have most likely bought a 1070/1080 right now. Hyping things up and then staying silent will only lose you customers. By the time Vega hits the stores Pascal will have been out for more than a year at this rate. There's no way Vega is going to win the market share back, not with nVidia also having Pascal refreshes planned.
 
AMD's move with the RX480 launching first might have been a smart one on paper, but the money's made in the high-end market, not the mid-range market. AMD has nothing in the high-end save for a last-gen power hungry Fury or Fury X on sale.

That is, I believe, the first super computer to switch over to it. The thing is that the P100 didn't ship until Q4 2016 for the PCiE board and as such the vast majority of systems couldn't do plug and play replacements.

Why wouldn't you get the faster, newer, architecture? Would you buy a 980ti over a 1070? 

Why in the world are they calculating the effects of damage by figuring it for each individual sub-object and their interactions with one another?
 
You figure out the bonding energy of each individual sub-object to one another when the thing is built in the first place and then make one single object. Then you model the impact event on the single whole object and include energy propagation throughout the object. Only split out the objects if the bonding energy is overcome and start calculating for those from there.
 
That would honestly give a much more accurate representation of reality than treating each sub-object individually actually.
 
Then you pick a sub object size that allows a level of physics accuracy that is "perfect" to the naked eye on modern hardware and push off everything smaller than that to the GPU to render.
 
You also need to figure in scaling. Given the title, I'm assuming that this involves macro scale construction is space. When distances are measured in tens of thousands of kilometers you can get away with very large sub-object's and only need to model with higher accuracy if the player zooms in
 
Then there is off-loading physics to the cloud to some extent. Every time physics calculations are done you upload them to a cloud database and then, whenever a "new" object is created you search the cloud database for that particular collection of sub-objects and download it to local storage so that you can negate calculations as much as possible. Although honestly I would be pre-calculating as much of this stuff as possible with the GPU. The issue with GPU physics calculating is the sync time between the GPU and CPU but you can take the finished object, offload the information to the GPU, and then have it calculate out the physics as much as possible during down time before dumping the finished process back onto the CPU and into memory for later use. You can also leverage the distributed processing power of your entire player base by essentially making folding@home for your physics problems to again just start modeling objects when cores are idle for your players and upload the results to your cloud to be pulled down by your players as needed.

But then the vast majority of commercial software sucks coding wise and is horrendously inefficient at using the available hardware. I can't wait until AI optimization makes it out of the lab and into commercial use. It will be so very nice when people can upload their code to the AI and it will rewrite it to do the exact same thing except with the highest possible optimization, even if that will make programmers even lazier. Sigh, ten more years or so.

This lie needs to die in a fire.
 
Out of the box Kaby Lake clocks ~300 MHz higher than Sky Lake at the same power and heat. Without Turbo Boost the 7700k is 4.2 GHz while the 6700k is 4.0 GHz. Kaby Lake is a straight up 5% performance gain in the worst case right out of the box (and not touching any of the other features).
 
Now whether that performance difference has a real world impact on any given individual is a different matter as it depends a lot on the specific use case and the entire system.
 
But for twenty bucks you are much better off going for Kaby Lake. Literally don't eat lunch for two days, or skip Starbucks twice, and you have that difference. Would you take an across the board additional 2-3 FPS in your games in exchange for giving up two whole cups of Starbucks? Or two whole beers? Because that is the real world cost difference in the first world nations.

No, Ryzen will go on sale before March 31st because we have confirmation from some of the MB manufactures that their Ryzen motherboards will be on sale before that date, and you can be damn certain that they aren't selling the boards when there is no CPU on market to make use of said boards.

Get the 7700k, it's the same cost as the 6700k and is about 7% better across the board.
