are there benchmarks for it released yet? Isn't it supposed to have comparable/better performance to the 1080 except be a bit cheaper?

Rumors have it around $450 still.

That is still lame, the 1080 has been out for over a year now.

Yeah that seems to be the criticism of it right now. Reading through its specs, it should outperform the 1080ti. Waiting for some benchmarks.

Why?

It has the same number of shaders as the Fury X? You can't look at TFlops because that is compute, not floating point.

I was going off of these two links: LINK and LINK.

Though I'm not sure what "TFLOLPS" is. I'm thinking that may be a typo and that it represents F32 performance. I'm assuming the second link compares F32 performance for the VEGA to the 1080ti.

Oh yeah, in that case VEGA wipes the floor.

nVidia cuts the compute so they can sale them for premium prices as Quadros.

Last consumer card with compute still there was the OG TITAN and TITAN BLACK (780 Ti w/ 6GB)

So I have an FK1+ mouse, because I'm a lefty and I wanted ambi buttons. But I use regular left click and right click, and the only way to use the buttons on the right side are to flip it to left handed mode, which would cause me to remap all the left and right click options in all my programs.

Is there another larger ambi mouse out there that allows use of buttons on both sides without remapping or changing the left and right click?


Sorry im a fricked up lefty

Ryzen 5 1600 vs Intel i7 7800X 30 games tested

Damn, Ryzen is such a beast.

Hardware Unboxed also suffered a burnt contact at 4.7GHz OC at 1.25v. Yikes.

Yeah, just flat out awful on Intel's part. 4.7GHz to 4GHz and basically dead even gaming performance, double the cost and the serious heating issues.

A damn burnt contact at just 4.7 1.25?

Yeah but the whole gaming performance CPU thing is ridiculous anyway. Unless you are going SLi, a 4C @ 4.0GHz seems to be the point where DR starts.

If only that mentality was around when Ryzen first launched. Unfortunately not the case so now that everyone has jumped onto the rip Intel train these tests matter big time in the community.

Which is great to see and only going to get worse when Threadripper rips Intel to shreds. SWIDT?

Intel needs to get ripped for prices and PCI-E lane hostages.

I'm happy they are finally getting shtt.

Exactly, oh and heat issues. Can't forget the most major issue. They need to wake up and no better way than to put pressure on them from the community and competition.

Coffee Lake is a mere few months away and the i5 and i7's are 6 core, about all I've read up on CL, once upon a time I was excited for Coffee Lake.

Today we say goodbye to the Asus AC66U. Had a good run since 2012.



Went with the Linksys EA7500 AC1900, had great reviews.


Full internet overhaul complete.
