And that's what happens when you delay a game multiple times and you know what you're doing. You get an excellent game in all aspects. Kudos to Naughty Dog.

Kinda make sense if the 1080 is priced like a the 980 was then it's a very good jump if you ask me.

A lot of assumptions being made here.
We don't take money to do reviews. We never have.
We take money to do advertisements, which are never labeled as reviews.
NVIDIA provided the graphics cards (and Cooler Master sent cases and coolers, ASUS sent motherboards, Intel sent CPUs, Kingston sent SSDs and RAM, Swiftech sent water cooling gear) for our editing workstations for product placement in the whole room water cooling series of videos we produced featuring this hardware extensively.
In the grand scheme of things, $6000 of graphics cards (don't imagine that's their BOM cost on them either) is a great deal for 1-2M impressions on a series of videos about using them.. but those videos were NOT a review. They were about a clearly sponsored (we said it was more than once) outrageous project.
As for sending "keeper" vs "loaner" units of hardware, yeah for many products we just don't do loaners anymore, but more than anything else this is to do with me not feeling like it's worth my time to play email tag for shipping labels and spend an hour driving to FedEX and filling out stupid international bill of landing and commercial invoice nonsense over like a $100 item that costs more to send back than to just not bother with anyway.
That and quite frankly even a negative review (for some reason) often generates a lot of sales for the manufacturer.. so as far as I'm concerned they can eat the cost of the item and I'll do whatever I want with it when we're done reviewing it - whether that's continuing to use it personally (Pebble Steel and iPhone 6 come to mind) - or re-visiting it only when we need to re-do our comparative numbers (here's a lesson on why this is necessary and we can't just re-use old numbers)
And on the subject of the Pebble and iPhone 6 - these are both items that were NOT provided by the manufacturer. One was purchased for my own use and the other was provided by a separate sponsor who makes skins for phones (dBrand), but I didn't necessarily mention this at the time because who cares? It doesn't colour my impressions of the device.
Here's an item I wasn't allowed to keep and won one of the two editor's choice awards I've ever given out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1uj6wQTu58
Here's an item was allowed to keep that I ripped apart saying it was worse across the board than the two similar products from other manufacturers that I compared it against: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O1aCNrjV64
Here's an item I was allowed to keep that I basically ripped apart on camera and sent it back anyway because it had so little value to me I didn't even want to give it to a friend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3AgcltUM9s
And I could do this all day..
You may notice that most of the items we review we are fairly positive about. There is a reason for this, and it has nothing to do with being paid to review it.
I don't generally bother to review stuff that I already know is stupid junk.
The bottom line is this. You can either trust me or not trust me. Ultimately that's your deal. My job is to do what I do, and the people who recognize it for what it is - my opinion being given to you - will follow, and the others can go find someone who maybe they think "hasn't sold out" but might just "happen to agree with them" to listen to. Enjoy.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
 
Nobody.. I repeat, nobody in the latest generation of smartphones has complained that their screen was not sharp enough, I mean fuck the iPhone display is like the least highest PPI these days and its still a gorgeous display... Sure if there are NO other complaints, improve the screen.. BUT
 
Instead we tons of things to complain about that need fixing FIRST before adding more pixels ---
Battery life, camera quality/features, build quality, speaker quality, OS and UI, software, performance, poor button placement, lack of waterproofing, useage of cheap materials, lack of expandable storage/good built in storage options,  
 
well and many more things that could make phones better
 
instead of wasting time fitting a big screen. which... yes, reduced battery life and drags performance down
 
well fucking done samsung

Already posted, and it's disappointing to people who care about 6" screens and useless 1440p mobile phone resolution.
 
The only real glaring issue with the M8 was camera, and it's now fixed.

You can get the gist of what a GTX 980 can do with a triple screen setup. I'm pretty sure you can hit 60 FPS but maybe it will dip into the high 50's sometimes. And about the SLI thing, maybe you can SLI next year after AMD comes out with their new lineup or when NVIDIA's new GM210 comes out 

So, im fairly new to this forum, However i like to make an entrance.

Hey guys,
 
First post on this forum but have been watching Linus's videos for a long time both at ncix and his own channel. Thought it was time to introduce myself and what i've done. I'm Alex and from FInland. Have only been modding computers for a few years but been building/making things for quite a while.
 
A few pictures what i have done during the past 2 years.
 
Cooler Master test bench which i made a bit bigger including 2 separate loops


 
An intel Nuc which i use for tv streaming. Machined from two pieces of 20mm aluminum sheets with an acrylic layer in between



 
 
And now on to my latest project.
 
This is called Project Duplex and is currently entered in the Cooler master mod competition. This is what i submitted but there is still some things i want to change and some things i want to add to it. I will add a bit more worklog pictures a bit later and of course continue with the updates as i get more done. I wanted something a bit different and from the start one thing i knew i wanted to do is having the gpu and the motherboard on different sides of the computer.
 

 

 

 
Hope you like it and more updates coming soon!
Alex

Steam In Home Streaming is one of the most revolutionary things to come along in a while, but for some reason there doesn't seem to be enough buzz about it, so I took it upon myself to really dive into the capabilities of this exciting new technology and here's the result.
