Well theres always the rumor that team green will be rolling out updates to their drivers to enable Resizable BAR on the RTX 3000 line of cards so chances are 6 months down the line it will be usable on those too.

Looks like ASrocks new 4.0 Bios has unlocked SAM for older Ryzen CPUs Decent wee performance bump on the RX 6800 - not bad at all for a bios toggle!

Not ideal, but by using motherboard standoffs, you can extend the space on the GPU side by a few mm.

For what its worth, I sold my GTX 1080 and bought a Vega 64 and would do it again in a heartbeat. New, the Vega cost me £410 delivered, the GTX 1080 sold for £390 so for £20 it was certiainly worth the upgrade since I have a freesync monitor. No issues with the drivers so far but the Strix 64 I had did need some tweaking out the box. All depends on the cost locally though although I do find the "open" nature of the Vega card and how tweakable it is great fun. it feels a lot more like an enthusiast product than my 1080 was.

Poor show from ASUS out the gate but least it was an easy fix.

To be honest, a 980 is on par with the 1060 and 580... and your R9 280X is gonna be say about 1050Ti level.... you will really want at least a 1070, 980Ti or even a Vega 56 to see a huge boost.

670 is Kepler, 580 Fermi. The GTX 680 is GK104 and was again seen in the GTX 770 though

Problem is that is is roughly 50% the performance of the GTX 1050Ti but at 75% the price... If you are short on moolah go used.

depends if you want a spare GPU or no.. especially the 285.. its a bit of an oddity which I Like... but then again I have that and a Tahiti based 7870XT sitting on the shelf as ornaments probably best you dont follow suite..its a slippery slope.

Its Doom in your Pocket. For a quick blast through the arcade mode when you have a spare 10 minutes its awesome. Dont know why anyone would expect anything more. Only hiccup for me is that Killzone Mercenery on Vita had a bit more "wow" factor for its time than this does. All in all though, its hugely impressive despite to compromises

If anything that points towards a really nice clockspeed boost for the Ryzen Refresh in Q1 '18

I found the GTX 770 to still be fairly capable. It's on par with a GTX 1050Ti in most titles. Only thing holding it back is the 2Gb vram in most cards. At higher resolution scale back the AA and it will help a lot

The Mobile 1050ti comes in both 2 and 4 gb models You will want t the 4gb one if possible. The 2Gb one will be fine but you will run into a frame buffer wall very quickly and end up running games at normal 1050 levels to keep it all smooth

In which case I would save up or somehow find the extra for that B350 Motherbaord. That is the foundation of your system and it will serve you better

Is there a reason why you want A320 rather than B350? Even being able to OC the memory on the B350 is well worth it if you intend to leave the CPU alone. I think that given the chance, the 1400 is the better bet. There are already numerous games taking advantage of more than 4 threads and this will only likely increase over time. Still, would rather have the 1400 on a b350... and an increase of 300Mhz to match the 1300X @ 3.7Ghz is not going to be pushing the chip or heat for that matter.
