Well it is about time that we got to this point but it has been over for a few years now in the Low end. Nvidia needs to give up on marking cards below the $75 mark as they can't produce them cheap enough and still be up to date unlike AMD. Overall the mid range is still safe and the high end is...
For openCL you are going to want AMD as they are much faster in certain apps. As for passive then a 650 is a sure thing with a large block but no higher than a 650 Ti or 660 and you will still need low rpm fans. Be sure to add some sort of coolers to the power vrms on the card for the long run.
Uninstall the physx drivers but leave the graphics drivers alone and manually an older version of physx. Then it will work just fine, ended up doing this because one version bricked every sort of dedicated physx.
i5 hands down and it what I am using right now, better yet it is the last of the easy overclocking with the locked multipliers. Also it will overpower any dual core around in any threaded workload without the sky high power consumption of the alternatives.
3.5ghz is easy even with stock voltage...
For the price you did better than most but to be honest if you make good use of it then $725 isn't so bad. When I impulse buy I cut out other expenses to make up for it.
I voted for GCN on the grounds of compute performance and that future driver improvements will further improve performance. I look at compute performance not just gaming performance alone as I prefer to have a complete product rather than having something that only did well in one area but very...
Reading between the lines consumers are getting fewer and fewer quality options overall except second hand aging antiques D:
I Hate that foundry, if it were not for their failures AMD would at least have a fighting chance but in the end it is us the consumers who get screwed. No one is going to...
Helpful for some but an excuse for everyone else to be lazy slobs. Also I loathe the cloud gaming concept as it will gradually push consumers into buying in and the idea of decent game rigs will be something from only the past.
One can also blame IBM for a lot of grief over the years for their failures in the Apple PPC machines and the console market. I hate IBM for what they had done by aiding Germany in the holocaust by providing the punch card machines then immediately after the war collected the profits from their...
The only way out for AMD is to be bought up or find enough cash to pay for voiding the contracts, if they don't then they will in due time will be completely broke. Their IP is the only thing of value they have and for some time it appears to be deliberate by the management that AMD is in such...
