    Samsung Introduces Game Changing Exynos 2200 Processor with Xclipse GPU Powered by AMD RDNA2 Architecture

    I said "Oh no..." out loud and face palmed when I read "Xclipse." Maybe I'm missing something really clever... I'm curious to see how the new little cores perform.

    Ryzen 5 - 2500X or 2400G ?

    No brainer IMO for $15 more.

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance Ships With Always On DRM... For SP?

    Will wait for GOG release.

    What would you like to see in CPU reviews?

    Although multi-gpu seems to be becoming less relevant, I too would love to see some benches in CPU reviews. It doesn't need to be a ton, just a couple of games that have good support (I don't own any 2016/2017 games so I can't recommend any).

    Games that you hated but everyone else loved?

    Oh, boy... I'm going to regret this... The Witcher 1 and 2. I haven't tried 3. I probably just needed to put more time in, but I found the story unengaging and the gameplay unenjoyable. I played about 5 hours of The Witcher and tried Assassins of Kings for a couple. Also the Bordelands series...

    Games you loved but everyone else hated?

    Clive Barker's Jericho. I'll admit it isn't a great game, not even a good one really, but I thoroughly enjoyed the setting.

    4K Stop-gap Card - R9 Fury?

    Yeah, as long as SLI is working, the 780Ti's should be a little faster than a 980Ti. Well, it's looking like I should just try to be patient and wait, no matter how much I want a new toy.

    4K Stop-gap Card - R9 Fury?

    B) A 1080 would preclude me from upgrading when true 4k cards come out. If the 1080 were $100 cheaper or 25% faster I would get one. C) If all I did was game I'd agree with this, but the extra screen space is fantastic for CAD. A) Good advice. Thank you. :) Edit: It's weird that I can vote on...

    4K Stop-gap Card - R9 Fury?

    Thank you for all the opinions. I'm leaning towards picking up a Fury since the expense will be very little out of pocket and I will get to try out FreeSync. I also won't have the SLI headache. Gupsterg, the Fury I'm looking at is a Tri-X so it's good to hear those have a high chance of...

    4K Stop-gap Card - R9 Fury?

    Waiting it out is certainly the most pragmatic thing to do. I'll admit I have an upgrade itch to scratch, so I'm not being the most patient. I've had good experiences with both vendors, so brand isn't really a concern to me. You could call this purchase a testing of the waters to see if I want...

    4K Stop-gap Card - R9 Fury?

    Pretty much my feelings exactly. The card will be replaced once AMD and nVidia release their big guns, so the cheapest option is the most attractive. If I sell my 780 Ti's I can probably recoup the $200 out of pocket I'll be spending. I realize there will be a performance hit in games that have...

    4K Stop-gap Card - R9 Fury?

    With the news that Vega won't be releasing until 1H 2017, and the 1080 Ti nowhere on the horizon, I've decided to buy a stop-gap card to replace my 780 Ti's until I do a rebuild in 2017. The 780 Ti's perform relatively well, but they run out of Vram quickly and I have to depend on SLI. It seems...

    MSI GeForce GTX 1060 OC 6 GB

    You probably didn't mean to include this in the pro's since the 1060 doesn't support SLI. Thanks for the review!

    Sapphire Radeon RX 460 NITRO OC Pictured

    Did anyone else notice the card only supports PCIe 3.0x8? It's missing half the contacts on the connector. Seems like a smart move for this performance range if it saves on cost.
