So I picked up a 1070ti on a price mistake, basically because it was a good deal. Is it worth the upgrade over an R9 Fury? I'm playing on a 1440p monitor.

For sure, by a good margin.

Nice now I need to find a buyer for the Fury, if it's still worth anything.

Already have a guy that wants it for $100, still waiting to see if anyone bites on $150. Put it up locally last night and already have a couple hits.

Rumors swirling today that AMD's Rome server chips on 7nm are not 48 core but actually 64 cores thanks to the double density of 7nm.

Experts are saying this will crush the market and there is no chance Intel can keep AMD from that "hopeful" 20% market share.

Intel's biggest revenue stream about to get gutted for billions.

quote:

The second part is that the changes make 2019 something far less than a fight and more of a steamrollering. Nope, shouldn’t have used that term, maybe bulldozering. Damn. Lets just say the roadmaps are vastly different from those 48-core behemoths envisioned back then. What is AMD planning? A 7nm monster called Rome.

TechPowerUp: AMD Shares to Jump 25% in Wake of PC Market Growth: Stifel
quote:

Analyst Kevin Cassidy, responsible for AMD shares rating with Stifel, has revised expected AMD growth in the wake of expected (and already verified) PC market growth. Following the news at the end of last week, AMD shares jumped by 5% on Friday, and increased by another 2% on Monday. This marks an increase of 61.3% YTD (year-to-date.) Looking at this trend, the analyst increased his 12-month price target on the stock to $21 from $17, a nearly 27% upside from Monday close.

The upside rides on expected sales increase for AMD's EPYC models, and considers an expectation of some 5% captured market share for the server business in Q4 2018, as well as an expected gross profit margin increase in Q3 to 37.7%.


Intel Is at Risk From NVIDIA, AMD: Evercore

quote:

Evercore wrote in a note to clients Monday that the leadership shakeup comes at a "crucial time" for Intel, which is facing heightened competition as its "manufacturing advantages appear to be flagging." In April, Intel announced that it had delayed volume production under its 10-nanometer chip process until 2019. Meanwhile, AMD plans to ramp up next-gen 7-nanometer chip production by the end of 2018, while rival Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) already has its 7-nanometer processes in production. Smaller nanometer chipmaking technology translates to faster, more efficient products.

“The company’s competitors are not standing still. AMD is in its best position in years, and the AI/compute landscape is changing dramatically with the rise of alternative architectures (NVDA, custom processors, etc.)," wrote the Evercore analyst.

So this is my first GPU swap. Is it pretty much just plug and play, or do I need to uninstall my old drivers? Going from a Fury to a 1070 ti and didn't know if I needed to do anything before the swap.

Use DDU and uninstall all the AMD drivers before you fresh install Nvidia ones.

Awesome looks like I should uninstall with my old card on, then power down, swap and should be golden.

1. Wtf were they doing showing off the browns and the Giants?
2. Why did they have someone terrible at the game playing it?
3. Why do all players run like they're supposed to be doing high knees through a ladder drill?

When I was a kid I just gamed on PC. The last Madden I bought was 07 for the PC, before I bought 18 last year.

EDIT: Yeah, whoever is playing this game is turrible

Latest Intel rumors suggest they will drop HT on the next Core i7.

Core i5 9600K supposedly will be 6C/6T.
9700K will be 8C/8T.
i9-9900K will be 8C/16T.

I don't understand this at all.

AMD Posts Highest Net Income In Seven Years

quote:

AMD's income from Ryzen processors jumped 64% year-over-year, which isn't surprising given that Ryzen processors currently hold four of the top five spots on Amazon's CPU best sellers list.


quote:

AMD's prospects are bright as it moves into next year with 7nm EPYC Rome processors and GPUs. Meanwhile, Intel has struggled to bring up the 10nm node, and a recently leaked roadmap indicates the first data center 10nm CPUs won't arrive until 2020. That gives AMD a big window to leverage its process superiority, a first, and gain market share. AMD also continues to work with its partners in its China JV to expand into that exploding market, and recent AMD job postings indicate the company will likely start a joint GPU production agreement in the country, as well. Su stated that the company continues to invest more in R&D, with current investments up 25% on the year, so its advantage could widen further. Su also stated that "We have seen the first view of 5-nanometer, and we think 5-nanometer is very competitive as well," so it's clear the company is already looking beyond its next-gen products.



Holy frick 2020 for 10nm Intel? Jesus.

What is this case? I used to know from a previous video but can't find.

Want this case for my PFSense box. Not doing rackmounted until we move into the new house.

EDT: FYI I know it is an external GPU box.
