Planing on getting a new GPU. Was really debating between the 4080 and 7900xtx. The 7900xtx looked like a no brainer, cheaper, more ram for the future, faster(except for RT) and the new amd frame gen looked promising. Then I started looking at the market (I am from the Philippines), then I noticed how wild the prices are. The cheapest 7900xtx is $1,155.00 which is constantly going in and out of stock. The readily available ones go for $1,234.00. While the 4080 cheapest one is $1,287.00 and the avg price is around $1,322.00. I really wanted to try the 7900xtx but I don't feel like paying close to 25% more it's msrp. Feels like I am getting ripped off. Well I am getting ripped off either way lol. Now I'm leaning towards the 4080 because hey at least I'll only be paying 10% more than the msrp and with a gap that small i guess the little extra for RT(cyberpunk) would be ok? Also I'd like to do some live streaming here and then and the nvenc is nice, does amd have something similar to nvenc for live streaming? It just don't taste right paying way waaaay above msrp. Hell I am even considering the the 4090 now with these crazy prices. What would you guys do? Get the slightly better product but way out of the msrp. Get the 4080 because it's closer to msrp. Or fuck it, save up some more and just get the 4090? Will the 4080s 16g ram be enough in the future? Will my EVGA 850w p2 be able to handle the 4090 and will the connectors be enough or compatible? Also if your from the Philippines and know of a good deal pls let me know. Using avg prices and launch msrp 7900xtx is 23% above msrp 4080 10% above msrp 4090 15% above msrp (They run for around $1,834.00 here) Edit my bad I used the msrp for the XT instead of the XTX

I'm selling my XFX Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB THICC III Ultra but I have no idea how to properly price it.

I am considering building a new PC and thanks to the massive increase in prices for this generation of PC hardware, I decided to consider used hardware as a part of the upgrade. Lately I have been watching last-gen Graphics cards to see if I could score a good deal and unfortunately it seems like it is just never going to happen. At this point Ive decided "screw it", Im just going to pay the money and get myself a new Radeon RX 7900-XT because the MSRP has dropped by $100 since launch and now it's a DECENT value (neither good nor bad). I figured I should explain why I am going with a next-gen card despite the rediculous pricing and why I feel like anyone considering a used higher-end card to try and get close to the performance of these next-gen cards should just buy the next-gen instead. Lets start with AMD since it is my card of choice plus the used market seems to be worse on the AMD side of things. So the card I am interested in is the ASRock Taichi 7900-XT for $849.99. I chose this card because my 3440x1440 resolution is fairly demanding and my goal is 120 FPS on High Settings for a nice blend of high refresh rate and high visual fidelity. I chose the Taichi specifically because I enjoy tinkering and overclocking and the Taichi is the best value AIB card right now. The chart below shows the performance differences between the RX 7900-XT and its $200 more expensive cousin, the RX 7900-XTX, at 3440x1440p with completely maxed out/Ultra settings on all games tested. A Taichi 7900-XTX will cost you over $1100. I feel the 7900-XTs performance is more than satisfactory and there will even be a bit of performance headroom in most games for a few years at least, so the additional $250 required to go from a Taichi 7900-XT to a Taichi 7900-XTX simply isn't worth it in my opinion. Only those targeting 3840x2560 4K resolution should consider the XTX from team Red. Now how does this price-to-performance ratio stack up to the used market? Well unfortunately, the used market doesn't even come close. The value you get for the money you pay is substantially better with the 7900-XT than anything on the used market that even comes close to the same performance tier. For example, the average price of a USED RX 6900-XT right now is $700. Thats simply rediculous. The 7900-XT not only has about 15% more performance than last-gen's flagship 6900-XT, but its also a brand new card, with a warranty, piece of mind, and no history to worry about. Its also got more features and updated I/O being a next-gen card. A USED 6900-XT would only start to make any sense whatsoever if you could find one for $500 or less, and that just isn't possible right now. Even the 6800-XT isn't selling used for that low of a price. Im not sure when people went absolutely insane and forgot that their used hardware isn't worth anywhere near the same money as new hardware but consider this when selecting used hardware: 1.) Its used, this automatically lowers its value by at least 30% because it no longer has a warranty and is no longer new and you are taking a risk. 2.) Value must be compared to what is available at the time of sale. So because a 6900-XT is used and 15% slower than a 7900-XT, a used 6900-XT's asking price should be 15% lower than the 7900-XT because of the performance gap, and then ANOTHER 30% lower because it is used and you are taking a risk. Obviously, a $700 asking price on a used 6900-XT is simply rediculous and thats all there is to it. Now lets take a look at the NVIDIA side of things. The news is ever so slightly better but not much. The very cheapest new RTX 4070-Ti will cost you $829.99, so that's not even beginning to look at nice AIB cards with good cooling designs, thats bottom of the barrel. Well, a used RTX 3090 is about $675-$700 and the performance is about 15% less than the 4070-Ti. Ugh... Its pointless, its completely pointless. Once again, the asking price of the USED RTX 3090 makes its price-to-performance ratio about the same as the 4070-Ti despite the fact that the 4070-Ti is newer with more features, a warranty, and no history to worry about. So in conclusion, if you were hoping to save some cash by buying used flagship cards, just forget it. There is absolutely no point whatsoever. The smartest options available are: Save up the extra money from purchasing a last gen flagship and just spend the extra $100-$150 on next-gen instead. Or - Wait for the less expensive next-gen offerings to hit the market and hopefully that will force the used market pricing to come down once they realize just how bad the pricing is. Either way, looks like I have a 7900-XT Taichi in my future .

As many reviewers mentioned in their reviews of the new NVidia RTX 4070 (NON-Ti) yesterday, each generation of new graphics cards has seen a rise in pricing and I have an idea as to why that is, and unfortunately if this theory pans out, things will only get worse from here... You see, Moore's law has been steadily dying off for quite some time now. Its not completely dead yet, but the advancements in computing horsepower per dollar have significantly slowed down. Yes, the last few generations of Graphics Cards and CPUs have shown rather large jumps in performance, but they have also seen quite large jumps in pricing. There is a reason for this that is unavoidable, allow me to explain: You see, Moore's law is slowing down because we are approaching the absolute physical limits of what traditional silicon transistors can actually do. Years ago when TSMC began work on the 5nm process node now found in current generation hardware, an article came about that stated there could be major delays with manufacturing functional 5nm cores because of some serious engineering challenges. The article stated that TSMC engineers had even spoken about the possibility of 5nm not being feasible at all. This was because they were concerned that the transistors were so small and so dense that it would create a "nuclear core" thermal run-away scenario where cores are producing so much heat so fast with this density that a standard IHS and standard cooling solution just wouldn't be able to remove the heat as fast as the cores create the heat. This would create a situation in which exotic cooling would be required just to cool consumer desktop PC cores. To be honest, in a way, their prediction and concerns are starting to show some truth to them. We have Ryzen 7000 and Intel 13th Gen that both run so hot at full load that they essentially throttle by default, "targeting" their TJMax and "boosting until they hit the limit". Obviously we enthusiasts aren't dumb enough to fall for the marketing. We know well that the cores have simply gotten too hot and maximum performance now has to be throttled to suit each end-users cooling solution. Thats what it really is. Even a 360mm AIO CANNOT properly cool an Intel i9-13900K without some sort of modification or advantage such as direct-die cooling. Properly cool meaning keeping the CPU under 90-95°C during all-core 100% load workloads at default settings. Besides the thermal issues with continuing to shrink transistors ever more, there is the sheer amounts of incredibly expensive technology and engineering involved to even get transistors this small, and the yields aren't great either. Some people across internet forums have begun to speculate that for 3nm and smaller transistors to actually function correctly and not run into nuclear run-away thermal issues, we will be forced to step away from traditional silicon transistors and switch to a more exotic technology - something like carbon nanotubes for example. And I believe they may just be correct in that assumption seeing how many issues there are already - 600 watt GPUs and Flagship CPUs so hot, modifications are required just to keep them under TJMax. So seeing as were are knocking on the door of what is physically possible with standard silicon no matter how advanced the manufacturing process gets, it only makes sense that prices would rise as we reach the very edge and the R&D + engineering required to make further improvements just gets exponentially more expensive and more difficult to pursue. It also explains how the last few generations of hardware just keep getting more power hungry and run hotter. Now a lot of you might point out the fact that the absolute monster that is the RTX 4090 doesn't actually run that hot. Well guys, why do you think this generation of flagship GPUs have coolers the size of actual bricks you use to build houses? Meanwhile, CPU coolers can't really get any bigger because of case compatibility. Imagine Noctua trying to make a 250mm tall version of the D-15, that would be absolutely rediculous. How about an 800mm (200mm x 4) radiator for liquid cooling? It just wouldn't make any sense. So in conclusion, I feel that MSRPs will continue to spiral out of control until the majority of people simply stop upgrading. Then some time can be taken to focus on pure efficentcy and lowering prices. I don't even want to think about how expensive the first carbon nanotube-based CPUs will be. Can you imagine the equivalent of a modern 8-Core typical CPU that costs over $1000? A Ryzen 7700X that costs as much as a flagship GPU? That is the day that PC advancement for the general populace essentially comes to an end for a while. So what do you guys think about the situation on pricing and what do you think will happen in the future? Makes for some pretty interesting thoughts, that much is for sure...

Hey guys, so I'm going to sell a program I made to the local dirt oval racing club. But I'm not sure what the price should be? I had an idea that I'd want to ask R3000 for it (about 200 USD). Is it too high? Keep in mind, that this is the first program that I ever made at a "professional" scale, I also just recently finished high school. So I don't know if I'm maybe asking too much? If so, what should my asking price be? Thanks in advance for the advice! Kind Regards PrimeMinister

So I am thinking about building my first PC, but I understand the current state of GPU shortages (and some other parts aren't very available as well) and increased prices. I currently have a 6 y.o. laptop that still works fine, but starts to show issues so I want to start building soon. I have made a build that I would love to have, and an alright build that could last me a couple of years (for anyone interested, I will write it down below). The build that I would love to have is outside my budget atm. Here's my question: Which of the following options would be best? Build the alright pc, which will last me a few years but need to be replaced completely when I want a better pc Build the good pc, but replace the GPU and CPU with something I could survive with for a couple of months, and replace it as soon as prices get to normal. The second one would get me my dream pc, but I will have to deal with a bad one for a while and will need to discard a CPU and GPU in (hopefuly) a couple of months, while the first one could last me a while longer without replacement, but once I need to replace stuff I will probably want to upgrade the whole thing. I also could go for a prebuild, but that removes the fun of building it myself and I feel like with prebuilds I always have to give up something (like they put a good GPU on a crappy motherboard or something) so I'd rather not do that. Thanks for your help! The two builds: The good pc: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X MSI B550-A pro MSI GeForce RTX 3060ti Corsair 32GB 3600 Corsair 4000D Airflow Dark Rock Pro 4 If I go for this one, I will replace the cpu with a ryzen 5 3xxx and the gpu for a GTX 1650 probably (not sure yet) The alright build: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X MSI B450 Tomahawk GeForce 1660 Super Corsair 16GB 3200 Aerocool SI-5100 Budget (including currency): ~€1500 I guess? Country: The Netherlands Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Microsoft Power BI/SSMS, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, over 9000 Chrome tabs, YouTube Other details: I know RGB makes your PC ultrafast but I don't care about having a disco under my desk

So now I'm older and I'm not poor. I don't understand how GPU's are going up so much in price. They are saying next gen high end cards are going to between 1500-2000. How does a person justify that price? Where I live that is 100-133 hours of minimum wage work not accounting for any taxes being paid. So pretty much a full month of wages just to buy a GPU. If you took that money and spent it on a GPU, you wouldn't be able to have rent food or anything that month. I live in a country with a good min wage. What am I missing?

AMD’s latest – but perhaps not greatest – GPU has finally been officially confirmed, but the GPU isn’t the big news... What does this mean for the GPU market as a whole?

OK, so there's a bit of a debate about it recently and a few tech YouTubers have also given their opinion, so it's only relevant that some random nobody with too many posts on a tech-forum also gives theirs. I'll start off with what GCN cards AMD has released since 2012. 300 Series: R9 390X - Hawaii XT 2816 Stream processors based on GCN 1.1 R9 390 - Hawaii PRO 2536 Stream processors based on GCN 1.1 R9 380 - Tonga PRO 1792 Stream processors based on GCN 1.2 R7 370 - Pitcairn PRO 1024 Stream processors based on GCN 1.0 R7 360 - Bonaire PRO 768 Stream processors based on GCN 1.1 200 Series: R9 290X - Hawaii XT 2816 Stream processors based on GCN 1.1 R9 290 - Hawaii PRO 2536 Stream processors based on GCN 1.1 R9 285 - Tonga PRO 1792 Stream processors based on GCN 1.2 R9 280X - Tahiti XT 2048 Stream processors based on GCN 1.0 R9 280 - Tahiti PRO 1792 Stream processors based on GCN 1.0 R9 270X - Pitcairn XT 1280 Stream processors based on GCN 1.0 R9 270 - Pitcairn XT 1280 Stream processors based on GCN 1.0 R7 265 - Pitcairn PRO 1024 Stream processors based on GCN 1.0 R7 260X - Bonaire XT 896 Stream processors based on GCN 1.1 R7 260 - Bonaire PRO 768 Stream processors based on GCN 1.1 7000 Series: 7970 - Tahiti XT 2048 Stream processors based on GCN 1.0 7950 - Tahiti PRO 1792 Stream processors based on GCN 1.0 7870 - Pitcairn XT 1280 Stream processors based on GCN 1.0 7850 - Pitcairn PRO 1024 Stream processors based on GCN 1.0 7790 - Bonaire XT 896 Stream processors based on GCN 1.1 7770 - Cape Verde XT 640 Stream processors based on GCN 1.0 7750 - Cape Verde PRO 512 Stream processors based on GCN 1.0 Versions of GCN and improvements GCN 1.0 - Initial release with the 7000 series in 2012, uses a SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) arcitecture instead of the old VLIW design used in previous arcitectures like the 5000 and 6000 series. Each GCN compute unit totals 64 stream processors. AMD launched it as a long term building block for future GPUs, which is why they still use it today. GCN 1.1 - GCN 1.1 was a minor iteration that added feature support for TressFX and TrueAudio, and improved PowerTune support. Most of the improvements were compute and HSA focused for the APU side of things. GCN 1.2 - GCN 1.2 is a release we have only seen in Tonga and Fiji so far, the big focus with the release of the R9 285 was power efficiency improvements, AMD improved their instruction scheduling and added newer instruction support, the additional 16 bit Floating point & Integer instructions means that less power can be used on applications that do not need the mathematical accuracy of 32 bit instructions. The new Fiji GPU has a reworked memory architecture so it works with the HBM memory. Improvements in manufacturing So a term thrown around a lot is "refinements", unfortunately no-one has been too specific about the refinements but there are board level improvements and the process used has seen improvements. Both AMD and Nvidia have used the same TSMC 28nm manufacturing process since 2012, over time as the process matures the ability to produce big chips consistently improves, and performance consistency also improves. We get less leaky chips. Which means we can have higher stock clocks, better overclocking and the better chips achieve this with the same or less voltage than before, which leads to a lower average power draw. This is very similar to Intel's Haswell Refresh/Devil's Canyons (note how people are fine with this being called refresh and not rebrand?). The new cards have also received higher clocked VRAM, from 1250 to 1500MHz. VRAM AMD have generally been more generous than nvidia when it comes to VRAM in the past. This is still true for the most part, the Hawaii based products now offer 8GB of VRAM, AMD were saying a lot about Crossfire technology and have improved crossfire support in their new drivers as well, AMD would like people to pair multiple R9 300 series cards to play games at 4K and above resolutions and they've given us the framebuffer to achieve this, reviews have demonstrated that above 1080/1440p the R9 390 and the 970 begin to make more of a gap in the 390s favour and some games will cap out the 970s effective 4GB VRAM. They also offer a 4GB version of the R9 380 at a similar price to nvidias 960 4GB. Pricing Here I'll list the MSRP launch price of the products from the 200 and 300 series and the 900 series nvidia cards, a lot of people are saying you might as well pick up the 290X as it's very close to the 390X and is cheaper, which is true. You also need to consider that the 7970 was cheaper than the R9 280X until it went out of stock... very quickly. So if you want to buy you may want to buy now, as this will not hold true for long. Note I am only listing the 200 series cards that have a 300 series equivalent. 300 Series: 390X 8GB: $429 USD 390 8GB: $329 USD 380 2GB: $199 USD 370 2GB: $149 USD 360 2GB: $109 USD 200 Series: R9 290X 8GB: $459 (note: the 4gb price had been cut to around 399 by the time this card launched) R9 290X 4GB: $549 R9 290 4GB: $399 R9 285 2GB: $249 R9 265 2GB: $149 R9 260 2GB: $109 900 Series (including 700 series maxwell): GTX980: $549 GTX970: $329 GTX960: $199 GTX750ti: $149 GTX750: $119 Performance: R9 390X: This card is priced a bit lower and performs a bit worse than the 980, but will beat out the 970. I'll use GTA5 as an example here due to the cards high end nature.

So I am building a pc and I´m wondering I am trying to aim for 1080p high details and occasionally some PS/Premier work . Card I was originally going for was EVGA GEFORCE GTX 1660 SUPER SC ULTRA BLACK GAMING - 228€ seemed like a good price , but then i found out that delivery time is 99 days (out of stock) .I need PC now obviously ,so that is not going to make it for me. The closest 1660Super was MSI 1660 SUPER Gaming -250€. I was like it s not worth it ,I found EVGA 1660 Ti for 239€,(I got more confused than i was ), but im thinking now about 1650 Super - 180€ with Crucial MX SSD for 75€ since my build doesn´t have SSD just HDD. If you have some suggestions for parts / cuts that i can make let me know (help me) . PC parts that I d like to have : Ryzen 5 2600 107€ Kingston HyperX Fury 2x8 (3000Mhz) 74€ GIGABYTE B450 Aourus Elite EVGA 650W 80+Gold 72€ Seagate Barracuda 2TB 58€ NZXT H510 68€

Came here to say that I've been a long time LTT fan and for early FP supporters whilst it's great that we have grandfathered pricing to come back and support again in the future the pricing seems off. It feels like if you were an early enough supporter to be grandfathered in you should get the full 4K experience at that same price rather than needing to pay 3x - if you're someone that wants to dip in and out of FP (i.e. can't justify keeping it going all the time) but are happy to support at certain times then it actually doesn't make sense to join if you care about 4K and would be better off just sticking to YT and waiting. I'm sure the guys have done the numbers and maybe there are too many people that would be grandfathered that are willing to pay $10/month but just wanted to provide the feedback that for me it doesn't make sense if you care about 4K. All the best and keep up the great work! CMK

Just been looking on amazon uk and other websites and it seems that some of intel's cpus have been reduced. Is intel starting to get worried.

Hey everyone. Quick question for you all: Since I'm planning on getting a new system, I would have to sell my current one. How much do you think I could get for it? There is some stuff missing from the list below, such as storage (for obvious reasons) and a CPU Cooler - I plan on reusing my current one, and my GTX 1070 - as I need it What I was considering, rather than selling an incomplete system, I was going to buy a new SSD, HDD and Cooler, (maybe find an old GPU to throw in) and then sell it on. Parts that I'm Selling: Intel Core i5 4690K - Stable OC at 4.8GHz 16 GB Kingston Fury 1866Mhz - Stable OC at 2133MHz ASRock Z97 Extreme 4 Motherboard Phanteks Enthoo Pro - Windowed, Black Edition Corsair HX 750W Power Supply (80+ Gold) Parts I would have to get to complete the system to be sold: be quiet! Dark Rock Advanced CPU Cooler PNY CS1311 120GB SSD Seagate BarraCuda 1TB HDD Thanks for reading and possible help on the matter. (sorry if posted in the wrong section or if its against Guidelines.)

Alright, if this is true I am super stocked, really this pricing is insane, although a little bit unreasonable from my point of view, Article from WCCF Tech http://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-7-1800x-1700x-1700/, AMD Ryzen CPU Cores/Threads L3 TDP Base Turbo XFR Price AMD Ryzen 7 1800X 8/16 16MB 95W 3.6GHz 4.0GHz 4.0GHz+ $499 AMD Ryzen 7 1800 Pro 8/16 16MB 65W TBA TBA N/A TBA AMD Ryzen 7 1700X 8/16 16MB 95W 3.4GHz 3.8GHz 3.8GHz+ $389 AMD Ryzen 7 1700 8/16 16MB 65W 3.0GHz 3.7GHz N/A $319 AMD Ryzen 5 1600X 6/12 16MB 95W 3.3GHz 3.7GHz 3.7GHz+ $259 AMD Ryzen 5 1600 6/12 16MB 65W TBA TBA N/A TBA AMD Ryzen 5 1500 6/12 16MB 65W 3.2GHz 3.5GHz N/A $229 AMD Ryzen 5 1400X 4/8 8MB 65W 3.5GHz 3.9GHz 3.9GHz+ $199 AMD Ryzen 5 1400 4/8 8MB 65W TBA TBA N/A TBA AMD Ryzen 5 1300 4/8 8MB 65W 3.2GHz 3.5GHz N/A $175 AMD Ryzen 3 1200X 4/4 8MB 65W TBA 3.4GHz 3.8GHz $149 AMD Ryzen 3 1200 4/4 8MB 65W TBA TBA N/A TBA AMD Ryzen 3 1100 4/4 8MB 65W 3.2GHz 3.5GHz N/A $129 I mean look at that pricing, reallt really low. A 6 Core/12 Threads for 259$, its insane, I mean what will Intel do now, with the 6800K, get it down to 300$, and where the hell the 7700K is gonna crumble down, it should be an intresting couple months if leaks are confirnmed!!!!

Is this PCPartPicker or Amazon's fault? lol. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/xX6BD3/xfx-video-card-fx775azdp4

Hi, I'm looking to do some minor PC upgrades and have an i7-4770k I'll be trying to sell if I can get anything for it. I bought it in late 2013 and it works perfectly, there have never been any problems. I don't have the stock cooler, so I'd be including an H100i at a considerably reduced price. How much is fair to ask for the i7? I have no experience in used computer components so I wanted to get some input. Thanks!

So I am going through graphics cards on various sites, then PCPartspicker for an easier quicker comparison, and I am at a loss as to why cards are almost always over M.S.R.P. . Now it is not just that, the branding is also misleading. We will start with M.S.R.P. We can't have a shortage on all these models, as I see them in stores all the time. Now MSRP on an RX480 8 gb is $219 usd, the same as an rx 580. Here are the prices for the least expensive 8gb models I could find. Also, notice the clock speeds and the adjective/s describing the card. Asus Dual OC Radeon RX 480 8GB 1.12 GHz $234.95 XFX Radeon RX 480 OC 8GB 1.12 GHz $234.99 Gigabyte RX 480 G1 Gaming 8GB 1.12 GHz $239.00 MSI ARMOR RX 580 ARMOR OC 8GB 1.26 GHz $239.99 Gigabyte Gaming Version (GV) 8GB 1.12 GHz $239.99 ASUS ROG STRIX Gaming 8GB 1.12 GHZ $244.78 This continues up to $328.99 usd for non OC'd standard RX 480 cards. The most expensive RX 580 on PCPartsPicker I believe was $262.07 Oddly enough, if I go to the AMD website I find their Radeon 480 listed at $209.99! Great, I can buy directly from AMD for a reference card; for less money! No, it directs me to NewEgg where my total cost is $224.98. So what gives? This same card (This exact same Sapphire Gaming Nitro I was directed to was $174.95 in January 2017. What is causing this, as I stated, it is not lack of product. The misbranding is ridiculous as well (Oddly enough, the Sapphire Nitro was slightly overclocked to 1.21 GHZ). Does anyone have a clue why this is happening? The supply is not too great for demand, so again "what gives"?

I need to gauge how around how much I'll need out of pocket. So my question is, what's a fair price for: i5-4460 ASRock Z97 Extreme4 Corsair Vengeance C70 case 12GB DDR3 memory (yes I know my sig says 16 but I would only be selling 12) Maybe a Hyper 212, can't decide if I want to keep that or not All used but in basically new condition, fully functional. Also, since it's multiple compatible parts but not quite a complete system, if I were to list it somewhere like Craigslist to sell should I do the whole thing or each part individually?

So, doing as I normally do I was browsing Amazon for some tech stuff to buy and I decided that I kinda want a GPU upgrade, I currently have a 1050Ti that I got for about €130, At the time I bought it I seen the RX470 8GB for about 50-60 more than the 1050Ti. So today I'm browsing Amazon.co.uk and see a Sapphire Nitro RX470 8GB for the price of a high end GTX 1070... What is this?? I knew Bitcoin mining is the cause for some of the RX500 cards going up in price but really??

Only source I have is BitsAndChips' Twitter: He adds in one of the comments: That's pretty damn low if you ask me. Then again, it is multiple smaller dies making up the CPU unlike Intel who goes for one massive chip. And with yields of the 8-core Ryzen CPU apparently at 80% for all 8-core SKUs (meaning 6- and 4-core CPUs are perfectly functioning 8-core dies with functioning cores cut off) this allows AMD to be very, very aggressive with pricing. All good stuff. But then again, one massive bastard of a rumour. Nothing concrete at all.

Just curious, is there any actual reason why a 4C/8T chip, for example, should be more expensive than a 4C/4T chip of the same clock speed, architecture and all that? Do they cost more to produce, or even produce any more heat? Or is one thread per core, like locked multipliers, just an arbitrary limitation?

So with Ryzen R5 looking really good right now, I'm surprised to see that Intel/retailers seem not to have lowered prices on the 4790K at all. I can't find a new one under $300! I've been specifically waiting for R5 to upgrade my CPU, because when I built my PC I bought a Z97 mobo specifically so I could upgrade to a 4790K when my locked i5 was no longer enough. I figured that if R5 delivers 8 threads with similar IPC to Haswell cores, which it now has, the 4790K price would drop down to like $200 or below, but it hasn't happened. At this rate, it would cost me a bit under $400 for a 4790K plus a good enough cooler upgrade to OC it, while I could pay $300 for very similar performance from a Ryzen chip, PLUS a B350 motherboard and new DDR4 RAM (factoring in the $50 savings when bundling the CPU+mb at my local Microcenter), and the 1400 looks like it'll run cool enough that my Hyper 212 should be enough cooling. And if I wanted to pony up all $400 to equate to my Intel choice, I could fit in a six core twelve thread chip! And this is considering that I am already somewhat 'biased' towards the 4790K because I already have DDR3 memory and a Z97 board. And Ryzen is STILL a better deal. Do you guys think Intel will lower the price in the future? And why haven't they already?

Hi people here in the LTT Forum, I got a problem which hopefully you guys can help me out with. ^^ A few days ago I got, like it says in the Title a Lenco L435 record player and a Haman Kardon TD4200 tape deck as a present. Which both are in a perfect condition, even the receipts are still with them. Now I want/have to sell them and could not find any actual pricings or similar offers. So my question is: Does someone of you know how much these two devices are (more or less) worth? Thanks a lot beforehand, Goa.

Greetings. About three months ago, I created a thread based on speculation for the pricing of GTX 1060 laptops (as of then, I thought they were going to be called 'GTX 1060Ms'). There were quite a few guesses, but it seems we reached a reasonable approximation of the price. As of now, the cheapest GTX 1060 laptop (not including barebones) I've found is a Clevo/Eluktronics model, which goes for about $1100 for the $15" variant and $1150 for the 17" variant. Although nobody should dispute that this is incredible value, there are some people who cannot afford to spend over a thousand dollars on a laptop, but still want reasonable gaming performance. This is illustrated by the popularity of laptops like the Dell Inspiron 7559. Despite its deal-breaking quality-control issues, it provided what was then considered excellent mid-range mobile gaming performance at an extremely affordable price of $800, with its GTX 960M. The GTX mobile 1060 appears to be the successor to the 970M, rather than the similarly-named 960M, which leads me to believe that the GTX 1050 and/or 1050 Ti in laptops will be the direct successor to the GTX 960M. The GTX 1050 Ti appears to beat the GTX 970M in benchmarks, and my guess is that the GTX 1050 comes really close- an exciting prospect for the mobile gaming market. However, I have been unable to find concrete reports on pricing for these as-of-yet unreleased laptop. When speculating upon said pricing, we also have to consider what sort of CPUs we'll see in these laptops. There doesn't seem to be a single GTX 1060 laptop out there with anything less than a Core i7 6700 HQ, likely due to the enormous CPU bottleneck anything inferior would cause. However, is it possible that a GTX 1050 would be able to manage with a cheaper CPU? Perhaps a Core i5 6300HQ or its Kabylake successor, or a dual-core Core i7 Sku? I'd be grateful to hear your thoughts and ideas, or look at any information you have to share. Regards, Aereldor.
