    GTX 750 Ti based on Maxwell with 64-bit ARM CPU?

    Who cares about benchmarks? How about some real world applications/games? GPGPU is still in its infancy, in 2012 when Kepler was launched even more so. What tessellation was for AMD (in the end not really important aside from synthetic benchmarks and a few select games) with HD5000/6000 now is...

    4 Weeks with Radeon R9 290X CrossFire @ [H]

    I cannot understand how the author arrives at the opinion that 290X CF is better than Titan SLI (in Far Cry 3 which he mentions mainly). In the [H] review 290X CF does 43.3 fps avg, Titan SLI does 41.1 fps avg. That is basically the same. Titan would perform even better if the temp target were...

    Question for [H] (Kyle and Brent)

    Thank you Kyle and Brent! I have read this explanation, but it still doesn't address the following question: All of what you write there also applies to Nvidia's Boost temp/power targets. It is not overclocking, it is under warranty, it was set conservatively to make the card quieter and less...

    Question for [H] (Kyle and Brent)

    Out of the box is out of the box, no changes to the card. Nvidia's Boost is also an advertised feature with all the possibilities it comes with. So we have to deal with both. Take a look at this slide from the 780 Ti review slide deck. It clearly conveys the fact that you can increase...

    Question for [H] (Kyle and Brent)

    No it is not. If you open the window, put a fan in front of the card etc. it will boost higher without any change to the card itself or the software at all. Boost 2.0 allows for selecting different settings, it is within the specification and within warranty. No, it is neither overclocking nor...

    Question for [H] (Kyle and Brent)

    Welcome to the world of temperature dependent clock speeds. Both go hand in hand nowadays. And neither uber mode nor increased temperature target settings are overclocking. See above. Performance and cooling go hand in hand how. You cannot separate the two anymore. This isn't about 4K or...

    Question for [H] (Kyle and Brent)

    No, why? Is AMD's BIOS switch in their drivers? ;) I know one could nitpick over this until the end of time, but the fact of the matter is that with both solutions you have the ability to change these settings without needing to download extra software (the tools come with the cards) and keep...

    Question for [H] (Kyle and Brent)

    Hi guys, I was wondering about something. You test the new AMD cards in uber mode, thus changing the default setting. Yet on the Nvidia side you don't change the temperature target or fan speed although those modifications would be covered by warranty as well. Why is that? In my opinion...

    GTX 780/Titan Owners, are you jumping ship to 290X?

    No. And anyone who selected "yes" in the poll, is stupid. 290X won't be a seizable upgrade over the 780, even with Mantle. The reasonable thing to do is to upgrade for 70+% performance.

    Nvidia DX11 AA-bits petition

    Just a heads up: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/544701/geforce-drivers/petition-for-directx-11-anti-aliasing-driver-profiles/post/3891774/#3891774 So if you haven't already, please support this petition

    2x Radeon HD 7990s (4 GPUs) or 2x GTX 780s (2 GPUs) ?

    Wrong. If you know how to use decent settings, at least 3 GPUs can scale very well in most games.

    Cuda Core Comparison

    Hm, no they are not. K6000 is GK110, GTX680 is GK104. GK110 has dedicated DP-compute units inside the CUDA cores which GK104 has not. GK110 also has CUDA 3.5 capability while GK104 only has 3.0

    GTX titan paired with FX 8350

    Depends on the game and settings and scene. The 8350 can be definitely quite a bit slower than the 2500K. I would not pair it with a Titan. If one can spend 1000 bucks on a gfx card, one can spend 200-300 on the best gaming CPU.

    Nvidia DX11 AA-bits petition

    As many of you know, Nvidia has AA-bits that can be used to force antialiasing in (some) games where AA is not natively supported or to improve the quality of AA vs. the ingame solution. The problem: These bits are only available for DX9. There is a handful of DX10 games with predefined bits...

    AMD Crossfire a scam - Almost no benefit over single card

    Lorien is posting the same shit in other forums, too. He isn't objective and he doesn't think before he posts, making ridiculous comparisons. He should be thankful that problems are fixed, no matter who finds them. Instead he is spewing hate - disgusting and ungrateful.
