I'm quite confused why people keep talking like Nexus = Pixel with a different name. Because the Nexus line is going away and the Pixel line is essentially taking its spot as Google's single line of phones. On top of that, the new/Pixel-exclusive features don't feel new but rather iterative ( http...

Ars is the only site I've seen which agrees with nvidia that it is faster than a 980. I noticed that too.. we really need the TR review! They only implied it matched the 980. http://cdn.videocardz.com/1/2016/07/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-1060-vs-GTX-980.jpg But here's TPU (my go to since TR doesn't get har...

... Now they're wasted money sitting there. ... Again, all those unused keys become wasted money.

Based on the OP's questions (judging by the variety of topics and level) posted in this forum, I respectfully suggest gaining some depth on specific skills/topics/technologies (things you like and/or are in demand) rather than more breadth. Jack of all trades, master of none, can be both an asset (a...

Yes, instead of 2400 MHz it's running at 2133 MHz per Intel's Specifications for the Integrated Memory Controller, and if you check up on it you'll likely find it running at slight tighter timings. I was just questioning the phrasing ("can't use", "or bust") that makes it sound ...

As for the parts you just posted, you can't use DDR4-2400 RAM with an H170 motherboard. DDR4-2133 or bust.

I have some DDR4-2400 in a GA-H170N-WIFI. I assume you mean it won't be running at the rated speed not that it is totally unusable.

This mass of forum ranting will not change anything. F'yeah! The problem is w/ the blanket statement. Sometimes you want the pre-order crap (even if it seems stupid to everyone else) and sometimes companies deliver. I personally don't pre-order much, except maybe Blizzard stuff. And they seem to wo...

PixelArmy

Not that I totally disagree, but this is very case-by-case. If there were no pre-order, people would buy on day one anyways... And it is up for each individual to gauge their own utility of such a purchase. Video games aren't cheap anymore. I remember a time when triple A titles went for 25 to 30 bu...

Using a oculus, I found mouse free look and VR don't mix well. Not that you can't get used to it, but It has an awkwardness that is similar to tank controls. So, it depends on how that is implemented exactly. Do you want to aim with your face? Or the mouse independently of your view? You're gonna ha...

Technically the 980Ti and Titan X (both reference 10.5") will fit in the 250D (max graphics card length is 290mm = 11.4", http://www.corsair.com/en-us/obsidian-series-250d-mini-itx-pc-case). So Titan would be the Titan of the mITX... The window for short length cards closed about a year ag...

My point is just that people in general don't see how these seemingly innocuous decisions add up. An upgrade here and upgrade there and you don't notice the true costs... $650 is still a complete budget build. Which also raises the question of upgrade cycle and what those previous builds were. The n...

PixelArmy

R&P time... "if you are poor, you shouldn't have nice things" It looks like you got 80-90% of the retail cost of the Titan back. $340 i7-4790K, $130 GA-Z97MX-Gaming 5, $330 Sapphire Tri-X OC 290X = $800, not counting a $70 Noctua NH-C14 (maybe reused, but you had a Seiden XL listed bef...

Will using my windows 7 key mean that I can never use that windows 7 again on any other system? Yes, that's the case. (Did you really expect MS to do it the other way?) I believe that a retail license for 7 becomes a retail license for 10. Since the only way to "transfer" this license to ...

PixelArmy

While doing a complete port to PC wouldn't be a mirror of the console code it'd be stunningly close with mirror images of large portions. Mantle ports will be the "lazy" ports... The ones devs do just because they can. "Real" ports will still need to support non-GCN cards which ...

I think this is Apple laying the groundwork for the future. iOS is based on OS X and I think Apple wants to quickly push every iOS and OS X developer to produce 64-bit only apps. The majority of current apps may not need 64-bit now but when Apple decides to axe 32-bit support, sometime in the next ...

64 bit is pointless … because … ehm … it's just a phone. To Android users it may just be, iPhone users actually use all the fancy features because they are well implemented. The iPhone 5 and the 4th gen iPad have 1GB ram. I don't know the 5S specs but the most I expect it to have is 2GB (I'd probab...
