    This is true, but the 'enthusiast' grade parts are always delayed by a year (other than Titan's, which are basically setting money on fire). But that doesn't justify buying a 980 Ti now - the high end Pascal parts should outperform the enthusiast grade Maxwell parts significantly, for...

    Every single tech site that follows this closely is reporting a likely Computex launch at the VERY latest for both AMD and nVidia parts. I fail to see how you spending 4 seconds Googling and finding confirmation of what I said makes you believe it less, but whatever. How is May 31, 2016 15...

    If by next year, you mean next month. Next gen Tesla cards don't come out until Q1 2017, that has exactly jack fuck all with Pascal consumer parts. Pascal/Polaris gaming parts are STILL on track for late May / early June release, just like they have been for months now.

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    Don't know how nobody here put these pieces together, but from the very first line, I thought she said 'Jan Ors' was her name. Which is phonetically very close to 'Jyn Erso'. And yeah, the stealing of the Death Star plans seems oddly similar to the opening of Dark Forces. And the 'dark troopers'...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    ... I'm Fulorian. Literally, that's my name on Phinigel, as well as every other server I've ever played on. I'm in OGC but don't take part in the competitive drama between various guilds. That said, Mrniceguy has forced me out of pained soul as well. And it's fucking stupid - you're right, it is...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    What is it with the hyper-competitive aggressiveness of some people on this server? Mostly AoS at this point it seems like, but certainly a number of people in other guilds. We're all adults with lives. Nobody 'wins at life' for being able to mobilize for Trakanon at 9 AM or spend 20 hours...

    970 was $349 at launch, 980 was $549. I wouldn't expect dramatically different pricing than that on the new generation - they're not going to send the 1070 up to $600. They'll probably launch 1070 under the $400 price point, 1080 under the $600 price point, and then a year later sell a 1080 Ti...

    Rumor is that Pascal has a launch date now, and it's in May. So the 970s are going to be on firesale soon, because they're likely to be worth less than $200 as soon as the 1070 drops.

    I see the exact same thing on 4690k/4790k builds, though. Or, like I said, even i3 builds. It's like there's this belief that it's a component that has to be purchased in all instances...

    Someone explain this to me - why does everyone think they have to have a custom CPU cooler? What the fuck is wrong with the one that comes in the box? I have an i5 4690k that I've overclocked for the sake of testing, but games are fully GPU bound on virtually any modern i5/i7 going back three...

    Desktop Computers

    If you're hellbent on spending $1000 on graphics, you'd be better off with 2x 980's than with a Titan ZYXwhatever. Or, you could be not stupid and wait for Pascal. Maxwell is almost a year and a half old, and your rig is going to be obsolete in 3-6 months. If you're only doing 1080, there's...

    You wouldn't bottleneck at any point on an 3770 and 32 GB of ram with any graphics card. The only thing to do is replace the 6950. Now. I would get a 970 on the cheap and then get a big Pascal when they come out. No sense in blowing your load on 28 nm, which we've been using for four years...

    New Progression Server confirmed

    So, I'm planning to play on Phinigel when it releases, but I'm having an issue setting EQ up - my primary monitor (the only one at a comfortable angle for gaming) is a 4K monitor, and my desktop is running at 4k. The obvious problem is that the interface is -TINY-, and I can't run in a window at...

    The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

    How have we run the gamut of the correspondents and not suggested Al Madrigal? He's by far the funniest and most in-depth/witty of the current crop, much moreso than Larry Wilmore was, in my opinion. I can't help but think Stewart was aware in his mind of his feelings on the matter when the...

    Credit Score Thread

    Are you financing through the dealership or the manufacturer/manufacturers finance division? HUGE difference. Manufacturer will subsidize the fuck out of your note to move the metal, and will provide a FAR better rate than any bank will offer. If you're buying a well-used car, nm. If...

    Girls who broke your heart thread

    How is a psycho screaming in a subway car related to the whole "legitimate rape" thing? I"m pretty sure the whole point of the legitimate rape commentary in the first place was drunk girls regretting their lax decisionmaking the following morning, not the legitimacy of forcible assault.

    Any why Wall Street is broken. There is no foresight or time horizon beyond the next quarter any more. Analysts aren"t analysts any more (at least on the sell side - hint, they aren"t on your side with their recommendations), they"re salesmen and pump & dumpers, who parrot the guidance they"re...

    3 months is not nearly a long enough sample size. Ford"s results, for example, are a result of their most recent "results" - which is to say, a panic sell at the bottom-line number. An idiotic move, when you consider the fact that the bottom-line number is useless in this instance. The company...

    Sorry, I expressed it badly. When discussing LVS with others, I"ve seen people point in the growth in equity from 2 billion to 6 billion over the last two years, as though that was a significant impact from return on equity. I was trying to express that the growth was imaginary, because it was...

    Blah blah academic bullshit. It"s not hard to beat index averages by doing a little homework. Those statistics are compiled by PhD"s who scurried into academia after being failures at Wall Street. They make up shit like the efficiency frontier to feel superior about their failures.

    I thought Grobbee was black until two days ago, as well. No racial slight intended, but you don"t usually find white people who brag about having multiple kids from multiple mothers that they don"t support and don"t care about. It"s just not there culturally. That"s such a ghetto attitude...
