Thanks for the answers. I was looking for some stored device profiles that are available for download like those: https://github.com/j5at/AndroidAVDRepo/tree/master/avd The bad part about this repo is that it has not been updated for too long and there are not too much vms in there. I'll try to create some vms and upload them to a Google drive in the next few days and probably maintain them as long as possible.

Hey guys, I'm new on working with Android Studio and Android developing at all. I'm trying to learn a few things and one of the few things that I want to learn the most is making an application look good on large range of devices. I've 4 phones that I can test with on site but I wanted to get a nice range of virtual devices with which I can test too. I've started to make my own devices with help from GSM Arena for specs but it is really slow on a small laptop. If anyone of you can help me with some virtual machines I'll be really happy! Thanks in advance!

The EVGA 1080ti FTW 3 looks pretty sick and it should OC like hell. About the 1440p monitor - have you considered some of the 27 inch options? It looks better that way than the 24 inch ones. About video editing - I would go with the 1700 but if you prioritize the gaming - the 7700k is the king right now. If you can wait for a month you can check the progress with the 1700 gaming performance and if it gets better - the 7700k will be the limiting factor for your rendering work.

@anonvx Check this. I've not seen the performance difference between the 1700 and 7700k in gpu rendering speeds because everyone were just using the 6900k and 1800x for comparison. You can ask someone in this forum to check this for you. It's a rough time for the CPUs right now but if I had this choice to make I would probably go with the 1700 and OC the crap out of it. If you are going to play on something more demanding than 1080p the both CPUs are pretty tight right now. Hope this helps you at least a bit.

I don't think that NVidia were responsing to how good Vega is. The main cause of action might be that they want to get as much market share from AMD as possible with more reasonable priced cards. It's no joke that some AMD fans (not fan boys) are considering 1080 with the new price (it's a big upgrade from an RX480 for example) or the ti which by the 3D Mark leaked benchmarks is a beast and the main thing - it's going to be available in just a few days when we still only know that Vega will be called Vega (sorry about this pun but AMD got it on themselves). One other goid thing for NVidia will be that they will be able to drop the lrices even more when Vega launches which in no way will be any good for AMD. About Volta - it will be ready when it's ready. From what I can see is NVidia trying to rival the Vega down the line with even more powerful GPUs for less money. Damn there is still no answer for 1070 and 1080 from AMD. I know they are focusing on Vega but their line will be out a year after Pascal's launch which is insane in the hardware market.

The main issue with hyping the Ryzen is that the actual hype from AMD went too far and right now everyone is jumping on everyone. Even worse thing is that the R7 1700 OC is almost the same as the R7 1800X OC (still the second cpu has some advantages but it's too small right now for the price difference). About this video - yes there are 'real life situatuons' that the 1080p resolution is not going to be a big thing for too much long (this comes from a guy that is going to upgrade his 1080 to a ti gpu so I'm not thinking I'm in the mainstream where AMD tried to market these CPUs as giving them the chance to enter the enthusiast PC at lower price as also giving the enthusiasts additional choices). The thing with the time is that only time travelers can tell us what the future will be and if they actually told us what it will be - we could change it for the sake of not being mainstream and 'choose' our path. And about multi-threading games - there was a research from Tom's Hardware where they tested wide range of CPUs (Intel with disabled HT and all of them clocked the same) in different resolutions. At very high resolutions the i3 (referring a duo core cpu) had the biggest advantage. At lower resolutions the higher core count CPUs had the advantage. This research told us one thing - at the same IPC and high resolutions there is no difference between the CPUs. I hope that async computing becomes a thing but thread-safe programming and scheduling with proper async is a real curse. For example of async actions: You want to eat boiled eggs. The actions that you have to make are - heat the water, put the eggs in the water, remove the eggshell, eat the egg. With bad programming and not being thread safe the game will try to do all those actions at the same time resulting in shitty game. The best place for multi-threading is AI in games that does it's thing and can be affected by the player - this requires big teams and more time to make sure it works properly. And then we have EA, Ubisoft, e.t. Hope you see my point.

It looks like they are in the same tier (chips that use nm for size measurement). Wait until they make everything smaller

Well actually I've bought the 2 970s for less than the half price of the 980ti (just shy of 350$ in late 2015). Also I think that 1080 Ti is already outdated but I won't buy more than 4 of them

The price change can't be changed in a flash as the retailers had paid about 440$ per 1080. In about a week when NVidia push the new batch of GPUs and decrease the price everywhere. It just takes a little time for the retailers to lower the price after the manufacturers have done it.

@Synawke Too much FPS will actually crush your CPU... You will get stuttering and other shit. It'll be better if you can lock @ 144fps and keep it there. The 1080 Ti won't be able to dip under this in 1080p.

@SamStrecker AMD had their spot under the light for announcing their possible specs but they preferred to not say anything (which is both good for them - NVidia won't know what AMD are up to, and bad - customers won't know what to expect either). I was waiting on at least a word about Vega's architecture and possible release window (we all know that the end of Q2 2017 right now is in about 3 or 4 months?) The thing with the 1080 Ti was that everyone expected more cut down version of GP102 and higher price - and they hit us like a truck on both sides. Right now the thing is that we don't have enough information about Vega to justify the waiting while we can get a really fast card (one of the 2 fastest right now) much sooner and the price is not so bad for everyone that were early adopters of 1080 (also now is the best time to sell the 1080s because in a week from now you won't be able to get as much money for them as it is right now). P.S. I'm really sad that the high-end competition is Nvidia vs Nvidia vs Nvidia (gosh) vs Fury X? God damn AMD hasn't release a high-end GPU in a milenium...

You have enough cores to support this resolution and frequency - so no, you won't bottleneck the GPU. The main thing is that the 1080ti will help you with this 1080p @ 144hz is that you won't dip too much under 100fps in almost any game.

It really depends on what resolution you are planning to game. If you use FHD - it may as well bottleneck a little bit. If you use anything higher than FHD - I don't think there will be a problem. Check this article from Tom's Hardware.

Before the 1080 I had 2 970s in SLI and it was a disaster. I've sold them just before the Pascal launch for no loss (I've been bought them half a year before selling them for the same amount of money I've sold them) so I was able to pay just a little bit extra for the 1080 which was a real upgrade. Right now I want to get the most money I've spent on the 1080 and get the new cool thing that will keep the dust in my case moving. Also I've enough money to get 2 1080 Tis without selling the 1080 - but even I know that this is not a smart move (SLI is not my thing). The other thing - I didn't plan to upgrade until there was some more data on Vega(n) and Volta - but I'm planning to keep the Ti for a bit more than the 1080. P.S. I know that I sound like an as***le but I've played on an Integrated graphics with the minimal settings with achieving max FPS of 5 and believe me - I want to make sure I'm not going to be in the same situation anytime soon.

@roylapoutre I'm not a fan boy. I just want a card that will kick the crap out of my Acer Predator XB271HU (1440p@165Hz). The 1080 was not enough and from what I've seen with the Titan XP - the 1080 Ti will be the thing that will help me the most. Also why am I going to sell my 1080 now? Because just a few weeks in the future the price will drop and I won't be able to get the money that I'm going to get for it now. I was expecting AMD to announce just anything but I can't power my monitor with a T-shirt and a 20 sec logo animation. It's just not enough.
