    I'm not saying it is a bad card. I'm just saying none are exceptionally better than others. They all have way better cooling, clock speeds, room for overclocking, and everything. The only thing that should make you decide to get one over the other is extra features such as rgb, fan headers, color, acoustics, and other extra features.

    You are putting more stress on the GPU so expect the idle clocks to be slightly higher.

    Plz correct me if I'm wrong. 
    Like I mentioned before, it's the way the power is directed that messes with gpu's more than anything.  A quality 1000w psu is also more than capable of kicking out some where close to 600w of (to the gpu) unregulated power.

    it the lightest mouse on the market 
    I don't think that the g900 would be a bad recommendation just looking for something as light as possible but still big-ish

    dylants reacted to DocSwag in A Rant about LTT's Latest $1000 Build Guide   
    @Slick@LinusTech@nicklmg@CPotter
    For those of you that don't know, LTT recently put out this video:
    Now, it's great that LTT is making another build guide, but I have MANY issues with this build. Here is a short list:
    A 1600 would be a much better choice. It would cost only a little more, comes with a better stock cooler, and can be OCed, not to mention on average the minimums and averages are higher, and in any multi threaded workloads it will crush (though that's not completely relevant, since this is a gaming build guide) You're using a B150 mobo with a Kaby Lake CPU. While most of the time there shouldn't be an issue, there are probably still some B150 mobos on shelves that have older bioses that don't support Kaby Lake on them. You only got 8gb RAM in a $1000 build. WTF? You bought an $80 cooler with a locked CPU and mobo. Wat. You got a $100 case, instead of a $65 one like the S340. At the very least, get the Pure Base 600 no window instead for $20 cheaper. You could've saved another $20 by getting something like an M12ii instead for the PSU. All the money saved by doing that allows us to fit a 1070 in the build, a GPU that is at least 25% more powerful from here (probably more since it's a top of the line 580 vs a founders 1070) Here is the PCPP list that evidences this:

    A build that has a slightly better CPU, double the RAM, and at least around 30% faster GPU with the sacrifices only being the lack of a window and a worse CPU cooler (and maybe a slightly louder PSU, but it probably isn't by much).
     
    You see what I'm saying?
     
    Now I understand, LTT was sponsored by be quiet!. But that doesn't excuse recommending a build to possibly a MILLION people that could've been 30% faster for the EXACT SAME PRICE. Now yes, not a million people are going to lose out on that, but at least a few hundred people will PROBABLY use this as a base for their next pc. Instead, you could've used a $30 cooler from be quiet!. Or maybe could've used the same cooler, psu, and case in a $1500 build guide where you would be using a 7700k, where the parts would actually MAKE SENSE.
     
    The Ryzen 5/3 "previewed" videos were also a fail in a similar way, but those didn't cost people performance/money and you guys truly learned your lesson from those.
     
    But this? This is just misleading/hurting your OWN VIEWERS by costing them performance because of sponsorships. This is just bad, honestly. It's a new low, and I hope you guys will fix this, possibly by doing a followup video with a BETTER parts list using a 1600+1070.
     
    I wasn't really bothered by the thumbnails, and the Ryzen 5/3 previewed video seemed to teach you guys a lesson, but this is just flat out bad. I don't have words for how low you guys have gone in this video, to recommend people to spend money on useless things (like the CPU cooler) because of sponsorships.
     
    Again, I don't have anything against sponsorships, I know this is how quite a bit of your money is made, but when sponsorships mean you are HURTING your viewers, that's just flat out bad. 
     
    I hope someone at LMG sees this, since you guys really need to reverse your mistake.
     
    EDIT: And for Ryzen, you can't make the argument that this was filmed before Ryzen 5 was launched, since you had a disclaimer in the video about the rx 580 which was launched a few weeks after Ryzen.

    Note: I think quoting is having some issues on the forum right now, once it's fixed I'll use legitimate quotes but for now all quotes are in bold and italic.
     
    The NVIDIA Tesla V100 accelerator is the world’s highest performing parallel processor, designed to power the most computationally intensive HPC, AI, and graphics workloads.
     
    The GV100 GPU includes 21.1 billion transistors with a die size of 815 mm2. It is fabricated on a new TSMC 12 nm FFN high performance manufacturing process customized for NVIDIA. GV100 delivers considerably more compute performance, and adds many new features compared to its predecessor, the Pascal GP100 GPU and its architecture family. Further simplifying GPU programming and application porting, GV100 also improves GPU resource utilization. GV100 is an extremely power-efficient processor, delivering exceptional performance per watt. Figure 2 shows Tesla V100 performance for deep learning training and inference using the ResNet-50 deep neural network.
     
    -----------------------------------------
     
    Tesla V100 delivers industry-leading floating-point and integer performance. Peak computation rates (based on GPU Boost clock rate) are:
         7.5 TFLOP/s of double precision floating-point (FP64) performance;
         15 TFLOP/s of single precision (FP32) performance;
         120 Tensor TFLOP/s of mixed-precision matrix-multiply-and-accumulate.
     
    Similar to the previous generation Pascal GP100 GPU, the GV100 GPU is composed of multiple Graphics Processing Clusters (GPCs), Texture Processing Clusters (TPCs), Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs), and memory controllers. A full GV100 GPU consists of six GPCs, 84 Volta SMs, 42 TPCs (each including two SMs), and eight 512-bit memory controllers (4096 bits total). Each SM has 64 FP32 Cores, 64 INT32 Cores, 32 FP64 Cores, and 8 new Tensor Cores. Each SM also includes four texture units.
     
    -----------------------------------------
     
    With 84 SMs, a full GV100 GPU has a total of 5376 FP32 cores, 5376 INT32 cores, 2688 FP64 cores, 672 Tensor Cores, and 336 texture units. Each memory controller is attached to 768 KB of L2 cache, and each HBM2 DRAM stack is controlled by a pair of memory controllers. The full GV100 GPU includes a total of 6144 KB of L2 cache. Figure 4 shows a full GV100 GPU with 84 SMs (different products can use different configurations of GV100). The Tesla V100 accelerator uses 80 SMs.

    This thing is insane... EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTEEN MM^2. 5120 CUDA Cores. 16gb HBM2 memory. 21 billion transistors. Did I mention 15 TFlops? Volta for consumers probably won't be here until 2018 but this thing is absolutely insane. This is probably what Oak Ridge National Laboratory is going to be using in their upcoming supercomputer.
     
    I must say, it surprised me that Nvidia announced a GPU today, even if it's a Tesla. This GPU is probably the reason why GTC was delayed until May this year, though. Volta probably hasn't been ready until really recently.

    Very first GDDR6 pictured! It will be faster than its predecessor and use less power. One advantage over hbm/2 is it's probably cheaper to for gpu makers to use these instead of hbm or hbm 2.

    dylants reacted to ybriK in Future Z270 CPU specs?   
    They'll most likely abandon the 1151 socket just like every mainstream processor they had in the past tick-tock cycle. Unless you can remove the iGPU on the 7700K and add 2 more cores to compete with Ryzen 5 core for core - thread for thread? 8700K? Not sure if that's doable, but it would be a big change if Intel does manage to do it and bring it down in price against Ryzen.

    dylants reacted to AlexG.Tech in Future Z270 CPU specs?   
    Since there has been news coming out about the X299 platform, It got me thinking. What do you think Intel will release for the LGA1151 socket next? What are some realistic specs for a Kaby Lake upgrade? Will it still be stuck with 4 cores + 8 threads? Or will there be a 6 core + 12 thread like Kaby Lake X, only with lower PCIe lanes to support the B/Q/H/Z-series chipsets? Or, do you think Intel will leave the LGA1151 socket behind for something newer, to more easily compete with AMD + Ryzen?

    On a personal note, I would really like to upgrade from my i7 frying pan edition (i7-7700k) in the near future, without changing platforms to keep the cost of upgrading lower. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
