Question Laptop with RTX 2060 or RTX 2070

I’m looking at a laptop with a RTX 2060 card, it will be hooked up to an external monitor much of the time (2K). I was looking mainly at the Lenovo Y540, and the Alienware M15 (first gen). Both have the i7-9750H and 16GB ram, and I like both of their designs. They are around $1300 shipped what...

R9 Nano price drop

The good news is I completed the build, and at idle the XFX R9 Nano is completely silent. I'll update on load noise as soon as I get a game up and running. Bad news is that my i5 6600K is at 45C @ idle :( I guess I didn't apply the thermal paste properly this time. Does the fact I applied the...

R9 Nano price drop

Am I better off with 2133Mhz DDR4 with C13 or 2400Mhz C14? http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-2133MHz-PC4-17000-Memory/dp/B0123ZCD36/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1455050928&sr=1-1&keywords=CMK16GX4M2A2133C13 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0123ZC250/ref=psdc_172500_t2_B00S51XHUQ After I get the...

R9 Nano price drop

Yes, it's this motherboard. So I would just run them at lower clock? I wasn't sure I'll overclock this build, so I wasn't too worried about the memory speed, more about latency. The Hyper X are CL14, but I just cancelled them I think I'll go with what you said.

R9 Nano price drop

I bought Kingston HyperX 2133Mhz DDR4. 2133Mhz memory is the max my motherboard supports.

Replacing my MacBook Pro?

What did you end up getting? I'm waiting for an update to the Macbook air. If the currnt Macbook 12" had a normal USB port I would buy it. Can't find another 12" laptop with that screen resolution, weight and battery life combo.

R9 Nano price drop

Sorry it's taking a while, I finally had some time to try and complete the build today. Then I realized I ordered DDR3 memory instead of DDR4... Frustrating. I ordered new memory today, I'll update when I finish the build and run it.

R9 Nano price drop

I should have it in a week, I'll update after I finish my new build and have it going. Probably in about 10 days. If I'm happy with it, I'm going to replace my current build GTX 970 FTW+ with another R9 Nano and fit everything to a smaller case.

What's a good r9 380x card? Please help

I was going for a XFX Double Dissipation 390X for my next build, which is a great card. After reading the reviews on the XFX R9 Fury Nano, I decided to spend about $100 more and purchase it instead.

Replacing my MacBook Pro?

Dell XPS series is good. I have good experience with the Lenovo X1 Carbon which I would recommend (get the version without the touch menu button on top, standard mechanical buttons). I had the same Macbook Retina you have, sold it last year, but I will probably buy another Macbook Retina (13"...

2016 Civic EX-T faster than 2015 Civic Si

That is really impressive. I'm interested to drive it. I do hate CVT transmissions. Auto, dual clutch or manual are enough good choices for me.

R9 Nano price drop

I just bought a R9 Fury Nano today for a new SFF/Mini-ITX build. At first I was going to go with a 980 TI, but after seeing some benchmarks comparing the two, the differences (especially in higher resolution 2K >) are not enough for me to justify the price and size of the 980 TI.

Flash HD camcorder Panasonic vs Canon

Hi all, I'm trying to decide between the Canon Vixia HF-S200 and the Panasonic HDC-SD600K. They seem to have pretty similar specs and the Panasonic has a 35mm lens, but the Canon is still about $150 more. Why? On the cheaper side (around $400) there are the Panasonic HDC-TM55K and...

Bandwidth needed for VGA video?

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to calculate or if someone already knows this. I want to build something that receives video from cameras constantly (res of 640x480 (VGA) and MPEG-4 video), and I wanted to know how much bandwidth does that consume per/sec. What I am trying to figure out is...

College Engineering, which graphic calculator? TI-89/Nspire

Yeah I didn't think I can't get through with the TI-83, I am just wondering if it's worth replacing for the TI-89 because the graphs will be more detailed (better screen) and so on. It's just a matter of convenience... If I sell my ti-83 maybe it's worth adding like $50 and getting the ti-89...
