They are down NewEgg had 1070's for $369.99 (Gigabyte Windforce) for sale Sunday and were still in stock at last check (I actually found them on EBay but the seller was NewEgg.com with a million positive reviews. There were a bunch of 390x's 8GB in the $202-$250 area in the "Buy it Now" section. Besides Vega it's AMD's fastest all around card (the FuryX would be but runs out of vRAM as it's ipc is better than both Vegas). Anyway, the GPU's are coming in, and most 290's and 390/x's were not miners as the crazy power draw (350 or so on the 390x under medium gaming load). Good luck. Some sneaky cards that are pretty darn good you may be able to find cheap are the GTX 690 Dual (smokes a 780ti and normal 1050) and 6GB 7990's.

I cannot find that "Wallpaper" TV on Amazon. Lots of big 4k oled's, but there is definitely a bezel, unless that is the sound bar at the bottom. Unless it's only (heh, only) $4,996.99 usd for a 65" then I'm getting the wrong link results.

So I was bored, OC'ing old RAM, allocating old RAM to an old 1GB card to see differences etc, and I realized it's been a couple of months since anything was mentioned about DDR5 on desktops. now they started in 2015, had a working model in January (probably earlier, but as far as public display). Then they said in April they'd tell us more in June, but they didn't say much regarding release. I know it usually takes 2-3 years after the official specs are released (June 17), so that would mean 2019-2010. Now with AMD working with 2 companies for RAM, Zen being incredibly dependent on it, with the difference in FPS being in the double digits between 2933 and 3600 (I can't find any 4000 benchmarks on a very high end system), and numerous groups, most notably Intel with it's Optane looking for solutions that may very well make ddr anything obsolete in the not so far away future, I think the pressure is on to expedite the implementation. With Optane only working with newer Intel chips and ssd's (which I think is a bad marketing move as so many companies are working on non-volatile solutions) and companies spending enormous amounts of money on upgrades (as well as consumers) they also are not prone to upgrade every year unless there is a ^big^ difference/improvement. I'm hoping that could lead to a possible late 2018 or early 2019 release. The power delivery and the memory controller should not be much different than ddr4, and with speeds that could top out at over 5600 out of the gate, I don't know why they would not, unless they decide to drop it altogether thinking HBM2, a universal Optane-like solution, or a hybrid will be ready sooner. If you've read this far, any ideas? Any articles after June 2017? I know DDR4 has only been around a few years, but it feels like forever.

If this 1080ti is going in a prebuilt system you might want to make sure your power supply can handle it and has the correct connectors (8+6 or 8+8 depending on the model).

Definitely stay away from 1070's right now. 1050ti for low end gaming, used r9 390/x for mid (I guess the power consumption has kept the prices relatively normal around $200-$300), 1080ti for high end. 4/570's, 4/580's, 1060's, 1070's, and no w normal fricken 1080's are out of control (well, the 1080 is still cheaper than most 1070's atm, but still silly compared to what they will be when Ethereum goes PoS.

You can still install the updates, you just have to do a bit of work. Like installing updates through wsus. In addition, there are a few programs that allow you to update as well, though they are not officially supported by Microsoft. It is far safer to install them manually as you are only updating what you need, as opposed to updates for features windows 7 may not have. You can read more about the install tool below if that is the route you choose. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/user-made-patch-lets-owners-of-next-gen-cpus-install-updates-on-windows-7-andamp-8-1/

I use a Windows 7 pc for Netflix, Amazon, YouTube I think (I have been beating this old rig with everything I know for over 10 hours real life time and YouTube was still acting like I was on or connecting to DSL circa 2001). Anyway, a third power outage in the last 3 days (We get 2 feet of snow In three hours here with 35-100 mph winds and don't lose power even though the lines are above ground; the pine and wet maple just bend. Oily trees I tell ya. Fricken rain. Windows is doing it's "we'll just update you for no reason (when the power goes out the lines are so old the pc initially thinks it was when it was first built in 2011? When the Win 10 update was mini mandatory. Great, if your power does not keep going off. I would have gladly accepted the free update now for this pc. No, I got my files flummoxed instead. Mind you I am home, so no physical versions of any OS' (not true, I have 98 and 2k, a Win 7 disk I bought for $149 with a student discount, that I can't find... So Windows did it again. I love my PSU, but this can't happen. Both PC's post. One is good now, and the other will be soon, but the drop f'd up so many things on the *fun* pc. 4379 files moved but not deleted. 2957 of those files replaced. All restore points gone. Firefox takes me, nowhere. Opera, nowhere, just another error message. I right click, properties, blah blah, and have nonsense as where shortcuts are supposed to go. Oh, this last reboot after changing 100 or so programs to manual then starting or stopping them, took 21 minutes on an OC'd 3570 (I grabbed a great Asus cooler and can run 4.7 at 65c on air, with the Peltier + fan as an intake). So 21 minutes, Opera works, finally, and Firefox lists y target as c:\users\...\roaming\browsers\explorers\exe\xofenif.bat and a start in of C:\Users\...\appdata\roaming browsers shortcut key : none run : c:\users\...\XOFENIF\play world of warships.exe\minimized Almost every file is like that. By the way, I now have War of Tanks, Warships, Warframe, Imperial Online, and War Thunder! Guess that was in the update too? Why does MS do things like this? I would have called and asked for help but it would just take longer, and no Opera or Firefox help, or any other program MS does not develop/sell, so a waste of time. I know if this happened to anyone else in my immediate circle of friends/family besides my uncle Thomas (He started working for NASA in 1980, then wrote for the CIA, Navy, the NSA, then was finally allowed to work on normal programs at Raytheon in the mid 90's, finally got out and writes medical software now) would have just taken the PC and thrown it at someone who was trying to take away U.K. Imaginary privacy. Again, why does MS do this, when they have no one who is available to help?. Not saying there are not people who take the calls, but they are not equipped to answer the questions that need answers. I'm just going to reinstall Firefox and MIE at this point, as I don't feel like digging through folders and searching for files who's names were changed in yet another botched update (I probably could have gotten everything straight in the time it took me to type this, but I needed to vent a bit. Umm, go AMD. Please get your IPC up so Intel has to come back to earth pricewise. And NVidea, you won the GPU battle, don't pull out now leaving us with $1700 + cards as you will only be doing deep learning after Volta. AMD/Radeon Technologies can compete in the consumer market for the next decade or so, but then they will just turn into you, Price gouging like a son of a gun against an Upstart Samsung.

From what I've seen in online testing 90 is the shut it off point. A few people testing heatsinks let it hit 105, but literally had their hand on the power supply switch to flip it as soon as it hit 90, and the jump from 90-105 took about 1.5 seconds. You are fine at 70-80 though. I wouldn't be concerned in the slightest. Yet. Nice OC btw, you are in the top 25%. Hit 4.1 and you are in the top 1% of Ryzen consumer chip owners.

and RAM. Worry about the GPU after if you are streaming.

Consumer line? I'm guessing early August.

IDK, if the commercial line drops late June, then the consumer line probably won't come out until August. If the OP has something they are cool with getting by with while they wait, then by all means, hold off. If not, then grab a $339-$365 GTX 1070 and call it a wrap. The worst that can happen is Vega is a little faster and a litle cheaper, though most places are speculating the low end is similar to the 1070 (not better or worse, similar? Stupid) and will cost $399 (even Dumber) where-as the Nova or whatever will be faster than the 1080 for $450, and the Eclypse model will be faster than the ti for $599, so, if I was in GTX 1070 limbo, I'd probably just grab it. If I could scrounge up a little more money, I'd wait and get the Vega GTX 1080 competitor. I'd be pissed if the 1070 competitor came out at $399, as the 1070 would jump back up in price.

You need to use a PC to do a screen capture of the console gaming. Digital Foundry did an article on this a couple years back...http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-how-we-measure-console-frame-rate There you go. They have a YouTube vid on it as well.

Keeping up with the Kardashians, the anime edition?

When it was announced they referred to the switch as AMD. About 6 months ago they said it will be marketed as graphics powered by Radeon Technologies.

That's what I thought at first, but to what? She doesn't want to save, so the $80 more usd for a gtx 1070 is out, and her 970 is almost on par with a 1060, which is just a hair behind an rx 580, so I really don't know. I'd probably sell one of the monitors and pick up a 28" curved. She'd still have two monitors, but a huge upgrade for the main. Idk, I guess I'll go with vid card too. Heh, not used to spending $250 on an upgrade for nothing. I'd rather use it for a couple trips to the waterpark and a few new case fans or things I can use in other builds.
