I think you need to read - he quite clearly said memory bandwidth - IE: this new card from Nvidia is on a 256 bit wide memory bus, like the 5870 and 6970, whereas the 480 and 580 had 384 bit wide buses. Now the 7970 is at 384 bit, more like Nvidia's previous cards (GTX570 is 384 too) and the...

No it doesn't? Devices of 200x or later are supported, IE: the earliest device that is supported is the date they give, and anything later is also supported. Anything earlier is not. On a separate note, not much of a surprise to be honest, but then Macs aren't like they were a few years ago...

It looks like a nice case, but I think they've missed a trick by calling it MITX to appeal to that crowd. If they made it ~1-2cm wider, they'd easily fit an MATX motherboard in there (see the amount of free space on the non-GPU side of the mobo), and the case would be much more versatile...

Interesting how Apple have appointed the head of Dixons retail - a company famed for shoddy customer service, flogging insurance and deliberately misleading people into buying the wrong things for their needs. Not making a slight against Apple there, just surprised at who they think will best...

Would like to know how efficient a cloud-based OS can be when the internet connection is crap, or nonexistent. There's a good reason OS have been locally stored, if you have no internet connection for whatever reason, you don't have a useless lump of plastic and tech sitting in front of you that...

I think that this is a "media quickly jump on the bandwagon attacking a company with already severely damaged PR when something is said that sounds odd" case. He didn't speak in English, but in Mandarin, which could be translated differently depending upon the translator. Also, taken out of...

Are you sure it's not HSA for short? I guess this is to try and help sell it to the server and compute markets, rather than the home user, who is unlikely to give a stuff what it actually means. Still, I thought Fusion was a nice name for it, maybe Heterogeneous suggests that, from a...

But 1920x1080 at 65"? Great PPI for a display where they show all the users close up. Plus for use with detailed mapping, you'd want a high PPI display.

Liking the look of the incredibly thin bezels - would be great for a 3D Eyefinity (or just 120Hz) setup. Hopefully they'll be high-resolution, but I doubt that due to DVI-D limitations (unless they have two cables, one for each "monitor" (left eye and right eye)), so more likely 1920x1080 across...

He may well regret having done so, but if he's had a good life, why is money a massive draw? Money can't buy happiness, as you see all the time with various celebrity drug stories. I suspect that he could have certainly led a different life, but who says that it would be better with all that...

I can't see Intel purchasing a license to use a CPU architecture when they have the largest R&D dept of any CPU designer.

This. Unless it was the 6930?

Great news, and I especially liked this bit. It's like suing the Highways Agency because they don't automatically block thieves in getaway cars :laugh:.

You've somewhat missed the point. The MARS II is also nerfed for VRAM - only 1.5GB per GPU, which will be swallowed quickly at the kind of resolutions that people will use a dual GTX580 for. I've seen >1.5GB VRAM usage a few times at 2560x1600, so can only assume multi-monitor will be much...

This seems to be nothing more than a retailer trying to make a quick buck from those who must have LGA2011 before anyone else, and almost certainly have more money than sense. Intel have not yet been foolish enough to exploit their superiority to the extent of massive price hikes for a few...
