1.) irrelevant, you can have a laptop in a smaller system. 2.) that's why this is 2 slot? 3.) 375w gpu + 100w laptop charging + buffer wattage to handle GPU spikes that may peak as high as 500w. 4.) flex/sfx are substantially more expensive and harder to replace. The ventilation is fine. I...

Why is that? Resolution doesn't increase the CPU workload significantly, as the CPU is used for getting all of the details and physics organized which is pretty much entirely independent of resolution. This is also why I can game on two 4k screens with my 7700HQ without issue. ;)

as someone that recently picked up a 4560, amd is pretty late to the party. can’t buy what isn’t on the market..

Whelp time to invest in my espp..

im confused as to the direction of your post, is it pro-market status quo or against? 'average joe' is extremely happy with the current selection, there's still more options than they could possibly need.

If you need more, hard mod it. Its been trivially easy for generation after generation on nvidia cards. Overclocks are warranty voiding, welcome to the real world. If you're gonna play the "im honest i swear" card, then a hardmod that is super well documented should be no issue.

I agree that the lower resolution provides a better side by side comparison, assuming raw power in X game scenario is actually useful. The problem I see with it is that it's not indicitive of current or future performance for the actual users. You can get an idea of how a specific engine is...

they're really not in the same market. :/

Ah yes, can't wait for all the fury x apologists to yell "told ya so" on performance while ignoring the two years of 980ti supremacy.

also of note: egpus like the razer core count as a relay and disable this. another fun fact: optimus allows 4k playback via kaby lake while the dgpu nvidia card accelerates another application, provided you can meet the hdcp compliance to play at all.

Of course they are in gamers hands, I've had mine for weeks. Just because *you* don't, doesn't change reality.

The difference here is that nvidia pulls through reliably - and then tells you it's available monday. Vega is already climbing a steep hill if competing with 1080ti is it's target, because 1080 ti's are already in gamers hands. Vegas target market is shrinking every time a 1080 ti is sold.

My PC Power and cooling (Pre OCZ) is going on 11 years old this year, and still not a single complaint. My EVGA 1600W T2 also has a 10 year warranty. A solid PSU will last a very, very, very, very long time.

fiber is generally synchronous up and down speeds, cable will be async because upstream allocation eats usable channels. with fiber, you get a channel regardless of speed so the only thing that matters is endpoint transciever speeds.

DP was removed from maxwell but iirc returned with Pascal.
