  1. I hope this thing brings AMD back from the grave. They never really were that bad, but they never understood the market either, and their drivers are TERRIBLE. Hopefully this is a sign of them getting back on track to kick Intel's monopolistic ass. Or next we'll have CPUs start at 300€ for the shittiest model and only go up from there. Hopefully their GPU department can also get their head out of their ass and start making proper drivers that don't cause BSODs every second update, to do the same with Nvidia. Monopoly sucks. Every bit they do to ramp up the competition is great, and incidently I do need a CPU upgrade from my old i7-2600K. Just worried about cooling here. AMD have always been hot, but I really dont want to deal with water cooling. Fans are a lot simplier and easier to maintain.

  2. You forgot 4.20% "OMG So many comments about bewbs!"

  4. I was gonna point out that I have a gaming laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon HD7xx series that crashes pretty much exclusively with ati-blabla.dll present in the BSOD message, and hangs programs regularly if I ever dare to enable CCC, but seeing as that is apparently not enough to be considered AMD "exclusive" to you, I am not gonna waste time convincing anyone. In my experience ATI drivers, and CCC program itself have been shit since 2006(my first ATI GPU purchase), and have only seen a marginal improvement, as well as always being worse at game-specific support, because Nvidia is more active at developer relations. But if your experience is different, then good for you, you get to spend less money on GPUs.

  5. Just bought one...

  6. Do you have any data on the correlation between different component choices among the same buyers? It seems rather strange that PC builders would still be buying 7700K, especially with Ryzen here, and also the motherboard is another inconsistency. Are you sure all those people getting 7700Ks aren't actually some office folks, who are just getting whichever CPUs are popular in bulk?

  7. No, don't buy non-Pascal GPUs, it's very bad price/performance ratio. Pascal architecture is the most significant leap for GPU performance that Nvidia ever had, so I really recommend you buy a cheaper Pascal instead. Even a 1050 will be a lot more performant than 980, or even 980Ti. The structure of low latency caches and VRAM in Pascal make them much more performant even when they don't have as high clock rates.

  8. It's it fairly localized, isn't it? I know in Russia it's absolutely insane, but here in Finland, there isn't that big of a deficit.

  9. I wasn't aware they don't get new drivers, I thought they must be running somewhat recent version that comes with windows updates, but I actually don't use the laptop anymore (most of the time my sister uses to it for some school shit, or I run an ftp server on it). I might buy an AMD card when I upgrade my CPU to Ryzen and have a mobo to spare, just to see how it compares to my GTX1070. But honestly if they fixed that problem completely, Nvidia with their ridiculous prices wouldn't have market dominance already. Consumers are not that stupid, there must be a good reason for why AMD cards aren't more popular despite being cheaper and same or similar in specs.

  10. At first I thought to remove the misinformation about the drivers, but it's so good at bringing out assholes to block! Like decent people mention that this is not true, and then some instantly start insulting. Already blocked 3 hehe

  11. Gaming laptops are just a bad idea. If you wanna game and move your PC easily, build an ITX PC or use an e-gpu with your work laptop (does require intel though, unfortunately).

  12. But can it run Crysis Ansible?

  15. I would definitely switch, yes. I did not see anything this thing is not capable of that I need it to do. IMO next step should be on governments. Not in subsidizing fairphone-like companies, but in taxing everything else that does not meet the same level of sustainability standards high enough that making phones this way is clearly a competitive advantage.

  16. Wasn't there some kind of "Glove keyboard" that let you type by mapping finger gestures to characters? Similar idea I guess. In reality, we should all just get a chip that reads what we wanna type directly from our brain. Looking forward to the future where everyone's unfiltered stream of consciousness is poured straight into the public view of the nearest social media network. Oh wait...

  17. This is probably better than that Dell ECS crap we've got that doesn't even support self-service capabilities since there's no RBAC for namespaces to let people author their own policies for a namespace... Although I am disappointed they don't have block storage support, this has historically been the weakest link in my experience with private clouds.

  18. This seems really complicated... And how are they going to mount all those AC ducts and wire it all up? And wouldn't shutting off some ducts sharply lower the temperature in the remaining room, resulting in high temperature gradient and building up moisture? Also wouldn't it wear out the AC quickly because it's just going to turn on and off again all the time? Wouldn't it be a good idea to consult an interior architect and a civil engineer to get a sensible baseline before trying to reinvent the wheel?
