    Ubisoft Announces Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint

    There is no context with auto heal. That's a fantasy feature that does not exist in real life. The vast majority of games allow you to get shot and still run around as if you were never hit except for a health meter.

    Logitech launches the G502 Lightspeed Mouse, Bringing Wireless to the Family

    Its more like you are just comfortable with the shape of the g602 over other mice in the same grade. The g602 uses a Avago AM010 sensor which is just as good as the original g502 3360 sensor. The newer g502 uses the Hero sensor which just allows it to exceed 2000dpi without noticable smoothing...

    G.SKILL Releases Ultra Low Latency CL17 Trident Z RGB DDR4-4266MHz Kits

    Actually these sticks are 7.9ns not 10ns - (17/4266*2000=7.9ns). You're also excluding the peak transfer rate in numbers which these sticks can provide while maintaining that lower latency being 34.1GB/a vs DDR2 400 being a mere 3.2GB/s. That's a factor of 10! Let's also add ontop of the fact...

    Aqua Computer and Rockit Delidding Tools tested on Core i7-7700K

    Intel Clarksdale 2c is soldered and has a 81mm die size which is twice as small as Ivy Bridge 4c being 160mm which uses TIM. Sandybridge 2c is 131mm and 149mm which are also both also soldered and smaller than Ivy Bridge 4c. Skylake 4c uses TIM and is 122mm in size compared to Clarksdale...

    AMD Ryzen 7 1800X 3.6 GHz

    Yes early reviews using engineering samples really arent ideal also considering early adaptor issues especially with ryzen ram which corsair i believe had the first official compatible ram chips above 2666mhz released shortly after ryzen debut. Now the story has changed a bit and we can see a...

    AMD Ryzen 7 1800X 3.6 GHz

    I like this hahha. Further raises more suspicions hehe. Ive also noticed the nice 3000mhz and tighter timmings used on the intel system whereas the amd used looser timmings and slower mem. Quite fair

    AMD Ryzen 7 1800X 3.6 GHz

    Hitman and Fallout 4 are not cpu intensive enough to top out these chips as evident on other benchmark sites that show higher framerates at highest gfx settings.

    AMD Ryzen 7 1800X 3.6 GHz

    Crazy question but why are the Fallout 4 1080p and 1440p performance virtually identical on both charts? Civilization VI and Hitman also appear to have virtually the same performance from 1080p and 1440p. Hitman however shows the intel chip loosing performance at 1440p. Seems odd that with near...

    AMD Radeon RX 480 CrossFire

    Their forum is virtually inactive. Although their older posting date back to 2000, they hardly have had any activity from then and now. In the General pc section and mobo section there are only a handfull of recent poats untill u start seeing posting dating to a year and beyond. Their general...

    AMD Radeon RX 480 CrossFire

    How about we not use that horroble biased site for any fair comparison. First off they are extremly vague with how they even perform their tests within each game and their results dont even correlate with techpowerup. You simply have to wonder exactly how they are coming up with their results...

    NVIDIA to Unveil GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 This Week

    This is quite relative to what you find acceptable compared to others that don't find your performance acceptable. Even at 144fps constant, gaming on all LCD's looks hazy simply due to Sample and Hold effect, not even Gsync can do anything to help it. You need to have an LCD with backlight...

    Editorial AMD Bets on DirectX 12 for Not Just GPUs, but Also its CPUs

    Seems like you were actually implying what you claim you didn't say... Lets go over it again... "Making super powerful mega multicore CPUs even more of a waste of money(than they are now)." To put you in your place since you probably have a absolutely horrible testing methods of your own. My...

    XP 64-bit vs. Vista 64-bit

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMT64#Intel_64 You can read up on the history here. Intel cloned the AMD64 instruction set to be used in their chips which they still use in their Core 2 Duo as well. Scroll down to "Differences between AMD64 and Intel 64" and "Older implementations" to see the main...
