  3. It would be interesting to see this again today, because 2010 was when we had the intel i series cpus and the nvidia GTX 400 series. It was when we took what was essentially the last step towards modern hardware architecture; we're still using comparable stuff, it's just after 10 years of generational improvements.

  6. The 2 most performance impacting settings are AntiAliasing and Shadows. (Some forms of AA have little to no impact on performance, but in general these options look significantly worse than when AA is just plain off)

  7. Funniest thing, so did I. Table was a mess, too lazy to clean.

  8. I only became a "panel slob" after I became a digital artist. There's no reason to be if you don't need that accurate color reproduction of IPS (or PLS if that floats your boat better). However, I did become a brand slob a few years ago, there was this Philips monitor, it was actually just a TN panel, but up till that point (up till recently) TN was all I ever used. But this thing had such incredible contrasts and colors, I had never seen anything like it in any monitor before it. Right now I have a basically the same monitor but with an IPS panel, and actually after seeing how much of a difference that IPS panel makes.. I don't think I could ever go back to a TN panel. (Not until we have Quantum Dot and OLED everywhere) even for my regular consumer usage. IPS/PLS panels are really really really worth it, more vibrant colors... Think of all the butterflies in Skyrim man!

  9. It's a 'thinking' emote. It hints that they're brainstorming something to do about this. My guess is they're gonna adjust their marketing strategy, since nvidia flipped the board on price to performance, they're gonna have to flip it again probably. The 3070 promises performance superior to the 2080-Ti. AMD also promised performance superior to the 2080-Ti Nvidia's doing it at 500$ Means AMD's just gonna have to do it at 400$ or 300$.

  11. Hey Jay, 2019 seems like it would be a good year to make a high end laptop vs same~ish spec desktop performance comparison, don't you think?

  12. That's right folks, on a typical 60hz monitor there will be no difference between 120fps and 800fps

  13. Oh my, wonder what that makes you then.

  15. 16GB HBM, higher Compute performance.

  16. I'm mildly impressed, it's late, but it's on par with the 2080 and the 1080-Ti. It doesn't have anything that directly competes with RTX (except that their cores were always more suited to compute work than nvidia's which may be enough to compensate, in theory) but it makes up for that with 16GB of HBM2 competing with 8GB of GDDR6. Where the 2080 will barely have enough VRAM to run everything, the Radeon VII has so much of the stuff it's got much more potential longevity as future games will start using more and more VRAM, the 2080 will eventually fail to keep up, but the Radeon VII will not. It'll also be used for CAD work. And another beauty of it is Linux users will flock to buy this. AMD's Linux driver is better than Nvidia's (for a very long time Nvidia's were much better than AMD's on Linux, but that all changed when AMD made an open source driver called amdgpu, when it was new it wasn't up to spec, but over the years it's caught up by now) there are many reasons for Linux users to prefer AMD just for this alone, chief among them being that it's more convenient. You put a (supported) AMD card in any computer and install Linux on it? It will be ready for gaming as soon as you boot it. For Nvidia? It will (at least for recent cards) use a generic driver and require you to install Nvidia's driver manually, which for some distributions is a pain in the neck, especially for the less savvy. Nvidia put some effort into their Linux driver, their Linux driver is actually all things considered quite good, but they're dicks about certain things, the GUI control panel for example looks like it belongs in the 90s, a lot of their technologies which they use for marketing aren't supported in them; if it requires you to turn on a setting to enable it in-game, it probably won't work (so no DLSS for example, GSYNC support was added in like just the other day, finally. It didn't work for a long time until now... They also occasionally decide to develop their own library implementations for things and refuse to support alternatives (Wayland, a very important developing software for linux that many are hoping will replace X11 for example, is generally implemented with GBM, an API for buffer allocation, Nvidia developed something they call EGLStreams or something and refuse to support GBM. Nobody really wants to use Nvidia's shit when the other thing was already in place and there are no demonstrable reasons why EGLStreams would be any better. But we all know how Nvidia likes to overcommit on random bullshit they develop, like Gsync, despite competing tech being more sensible, like Freesync) Meanwhile AMD is mostly free of all that bullshit, and since their driver is open source, if support for something is missing, anyone can just add it themselves if they have the desire and skill to do so. Speaking of Linux anyways, Linux gaming has become a lot more viable in 2018. You can probably expect about 80% of your Steam game library to run without much trouble on it now thanks to steamplay/proton, most of them (especially DX10/11 games) will run at 80-90% native performance too) The performance of the card lines up with what's displayed here on Linux as well (with AMD's open source driver vs Nvidia's closed one) https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=radeon-vii-linux&num=1 the mean result of all the benchmarks combined marks the Radeon VII as 12% faster on average than the 2080 on linux (sometimes it wins by a large margin, sometimes it loses, but usually not by a large margin). It also seems like it's compute performance with properly optimized usage is potentially above the 2080-Ti (although I have no idea if RTX cores were also being used here, but it's semi-irrelevant since if it isn't being used then it's because no one is supporting it yet)

  18. Probably due to the fact that most enthusiasts and early adopters of PC tech are gamers.

  20. Was it ever worth it? This CPU was terrible, and had so many driver issues it's insane.

  21. Why would you compare it with Apple? Apple doesn't do black. It doesn't do bronze either, and all their designs are usually completely clean boring as shit colorless white... They do decent designs I suppose, their entire design philosophy however is based around simplicity and therefore all their designs are boring, the RTX 3000 series stock cooler design is anything but simple and boring.

  22. 2:53 That's... kinda because of XFR isn't it? Their equivalent for turbo boost is XFR which is fully automated overclocking in a nutshell. Also 9:40 When I next buy a CPU I intend to have moved over to Linux full time for gaming. I absolutely refuse to use the degrading piece of crap known as Windows 10. I'm hoping that it'll be an AMD cpu but I follow performance.

  24. Cpu and GPU for under $250... As long as you have a 1000 series GPU. What if we have an RX 580? Oops?

  27.  @carlos7mh  Most people are still gaming on 1080p, it's perfectly good, 1440p is nice, but this 4K stuff has so ridiculous requirements even the 3090 is barely enough for it...

  28.  @blaymeister  integrated graphics is almost good enough for real gaming these days... It'll only take a few years.

  29.  @blaymeister  yeah I'm tempted to build a pc myself, i've just got too many constraints right now, so I have to make do with my 2060 laptop.

  33. how to make a computer no one would know to steal 16:51 I've actually thought of doing something like this before lol. (mostly because I actually had a break in once where my fancy PC was stolen, but my actually good yet in a disgusting looking case spare PC was left behind, they coulda gotten good money for that lol :D now to really sell it tho, you'd have to do something like this!)

  38. Indeed they are, but pro gamers can argue against it for their specific case. (However it's not like a 5ms response time difference is gonna change anything compared to 1ms response time really, it's below human perception)

  39. Selling out? Damn AMD are really back in business.

  41. You know... FXAA is some terrible shit, it pretty much just blurs all the edges, you're basically better off with no AA you get a much crisper and cleaner rendering that way. You really like your Nano don't you? I remember back in the day (and in fact still in a lot of games today) AA was the hardest hitting graphics option, turning it on only provides a slight visual benefit at a massive framerate cost so unless you had a very high end card it wasn't worth using and it's basically the first option to turn down when you want to increase your performance. Some modern cards seem to handle AA more effectively (or maybe it's just that GPUs are getting better and game graphics aren't) and it seems to have less and less of a hit these days but still if you set a high AA setting it'll always hit your fps mega hard. (Like 16X SMAA or TXAA or whatever then maybe even sprinkle some supersampling on top of that and boom)

  42. Top 5, allright in no particular order, and excluding browsers and the basic shit like steam and discord... 1: K-Lite Codecs Standard (Configured to use madvr, and then I configure madvr a little extra to get some smooth-motion and that nice ass upscaling algorithm all tweaked) 2: QBittorrent (Like utorrent, but not crap) 3: 360 Total Security (Configured to use all the available active antiviruses), it's probably the best free antivirus software. I always used avira before this which is probably still the second best. 4: MSI Afterburner, I use it both to OC my gpu and to monitor my hardware when in-games with the OSD, quite useful. 5: Autohotkey (besides it's various uses in games (for example remapping your arrow keys to WASD for games that don't support changing your keybinds (like rpg maker and various older games) I also use it to keybind switching between desktops the same way I do it on linux, e.g. ctrl+f1 through f6 changes to desktop 1-6, which is a fairly vital function for me to avoid cluttered windows all over the place...) Linux edition: 1: mpv (the tricky part here is finding the right configuration to get the best image quality, enable motion interpolation and whatnot, but the result is more or less equal or better than k-lite) 2: QBittorrent ( :D ) 3: Conky (and I set it up so I can monitor my cpu/gpu temps from the desktop, cpu usage, memory usage, which applications are using the most cpu/memory, and my active network usage, it's real freaking handy but configuring it just right is a bit of work) 4: Lutris (wanna play windows exclusive games? Use steam & it's proton. Game not on steam? Use lutris) 5: Audacious (There's a lot of music players available on Linux, but I prefer this one over all of them, the reason being that it's not a music library app like itunes or whatever, it's functionally closer to winamp or windows media player, there's no extra complicated bullshit on top. Just a music player, and some basic tools like an equalizer)

  43. Hey Jay, if you're looking for dumb things to test, try running a CPU without a cooler but with thermal paste. I shit you not my brother managed to run his computer this way for like a year at least. He somehow, through some sorcery managed to break his (stock intel) cpu cooler and it was just hanging there above his cpu like a door on a hinge, when I saw it I was like "WHAT THE FUCK?! HOW IS THIS COMPUTER EVEN RUNNING?!" and he was gaming on it and everything. When I finally decided to fix it, I decided to check the temps before and after removing the paste, if I removed the thermal paste it ran way too hot but otherwise it was fine. Don't remember what kind of cpu it was (either a core 2 duo or something like an i5) You could also try replacing the thermal paste with toothpaste or tomato sauce :D

  44. This is a good thing, intel did not do the smart thing and lower their prices, they did the stupid thing and went for a quick cash grab. I hope this will hurt them so AMD can thrive a little for a while. I want to see the companies compete, seriously compete, especially in the pricing department, but right now with Intel's resources if they would aggressively lower their prices to compete with AMD, Intel could probably crush AMD as it is due to the sheer difference in available cash money. I've had issues with intel for years now because of their absurd pricing I still used their products of course, there was no other choice but now that there is, I'm gonna switch over to AMD first chance I get. Then again I was gonna do the same for the AMD RX line of graphics cards since they've got comparable price to performance to Nvidia's competition, but then Nvidia went and chopped the prices of the 900 series by half so I got myself a 980-Ti instead (for just a bit more than an RX 480 or gtx 1060 would have cost!) that was a deal too good to refuse. Truth is I want both companies to succeed so that they can compete, intel going all suicidal for a while is a good thing because it'll level the playing field between intel and AMD a little.

  46. -Yttrium- 90w should more than do it normally these days, there are desktop processors that could make do with a 60w cooler today.

  47. Can you install windows 7 on it and check if you can make it work? Cus https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/am4-chipset-driver.aspx says it supports windows 10/7 even if media is saying it doesn't support 7, haven't found any mention of anyone actually testing this. Also, think you could make a video on how good (or unimpressive) XFR is, and if it's really the auto-overclocking feature promised, and how well it lives up to that concept? I also noticed something shuffling through ryzen gaming benchmarks, while Intel often ended up with slightly higher framerates, ryzen cores seemed to have more consistent framerates (smaller fps dips), maybe there's more to them than meets the eye after all.

  48. Kinda funny that this time around Nvidia is pushing the capabilities of graphics cards for the first time in basically forever, rather than AMD. Honestly, I would be voting nvidia 100% right now if it wasn't for their shady price bumps. They're too greedy and need to be put in their place. Sadly, it seems AMD is greedy too.

  49. Maybe it'll be worth it once finished :P just hope the fans on the top won't be too noisy since they're outside the case...

  50. 300$ for a eatx case with a pre installed watercooler is quite decent of a deal I think. And it would clearly be quite easy to throw in another watercooler for the GPU there's plenty of free space in there.
