    At 4K resolution, do we still need AA?

    I've read a few research papers on this before. At 4K, AA is still relevant but not necessary. At 8K, it's not needed for the most part unless you have better than 20/20 eyes. At the end of the day, I guess it's how close you sit and the size of your screen. But seriously, who buys a bigger...

    AMD rig upgrades?

    There's not much difference in performance between an 8150 vs 8350. You will see a difference between a 7970 vs R290x in high end games at the highest settings. If you're going for 4k gaming, i would wait for the next gen cards. Your current setup should play any game out there with high to...

    If you're looking into the Yoga, The Surface 3 should be on your list as well ( if it's available). The Surface comes with an SSD. I don't know about the Yoga2 but I know my friend's Yoga fell apart pretty easy and it's kind of buggy in general. I liked the Yoga2 that's in store demos but I...

    AMD Announces Extension of Tender Offer for Its 8.125% Notes

    Check their latest 8K filing. AMD just issued 7.00% $500M notes due 2024. This replaced the the $500M 2017 8.125% note they just pulled back. They offered people above market(extra 2%) to pull it back. Sure that's more money. The thing is that 7% interest is substantially lower and it is for...

    Graphics Card Shipments to Drop Drastically in Q2 2014

    In Q1, AMD had a ridiculous rise in GPU sales due to crypto mining. They're just losing that extra demand. I think the only troll here is you.

    AMD Announces Extension of Tender Offer for Its 8.125% Notes

    No, actually they are going to push that debt with another note out to 2019 or beyond. If you look through all their refinancing in the past 6 months, it's been the same pattern. They are refinancing with lower interest rates and delaying debt. Basically, reducing interest expense while...

    I hope you realize that Most laptops are Intel CPUs. Of those, most do not come with discrete graphics. Conclusively, you can say most Intel graphics are utilized to their full extent. That doesn't mean Intel's graphics is worth anything.
