CES is always awesome imo. Love it to kick off the year in tech.

LG has a foldable TV, Samsung debuting their foldable phone, every TV manufacturer bringing 8K sets. Fun stuff.

most intrigued to see how that 3700x performs with its higher clocks in games


That's what I want to see.

Are there gonna be any APUs? If they do I wonder if that would be possible for the mini itx I want to build.

APUs will never have the power we will want in ITX builds.

Their best use is for emulation, side scrollers, older games and media

I wonder how they are with Dolphin, especially the 2200G.

HTC is supposed to be doing something VR today in about 40 minutes. Hope it isn't an Oculus Go competitor.

Looks like NVIDIA is realizing gsync isn't going to catch on, a lot of freesync monitors now supported by NVIDIA.

I think they announced more monitors today or something. Popped up on the feed I was watching for HTC.


HTC's presentation sucked. Vive Pro with eye tracking. Looks like they want to move away from Steam with Cosmos. Not sure what this thing is about, looks like a budget Vive/Rift that may work with computers and phones to run it. It's not standalone apparently.

I'm excited to see nVidia's 120hz/low response/HDR UHDTV finally come out of production. There is nothing out there with high refresh and low response @ 4K . This is a requirement for the next gen consoles. Yes PC thread but still excited.

Then again the landscape of PC gaming monitors continues to be a mess. No monitor offers everything we want. Idt any glossy non-matte 4K/HDR/120 monitors exist. Maybe some on the Korean side but nothing I can find.

Pupdate - My Brittany turned 9months earlier this week!

AMD CES keynote stream

2 minutes away.

My final guess is top chip 4.5GHz with OC at about 4.8GHz and at least 12 cores.

It's over now.

Radeon 7 GPU's announced, launch Feb 7th at $699 with 16GB HBM2 and 2080 performance.

Not much on Ryzen 3 at all. Showed a CPU heavy game, and the die, about it. Basically just a teaser.

So their top in card competes with the 2080 for $100 less?

This doesn't sound like the vega release whatsoever

Disappointed about the CPUs... That's what I wanted to know more of

The pricing sucks, everyone expected $599 if not $499.

I'll probably still upgrade though.

'Tis true (and 16GB of HBM2 costing $300 alone)



Now we have to wait until Computex for the full Ryzen unveil end of May. Lame, I hate being patient.

I don't understand brand loyalty.

You are overpaying for the card which is middle of the road. Just like the 2080.
