Re: Borderlands 3

I'm going to wait until it's on Steam and the price is in INR and not USD. Ain't gonna pay 45 USD for a game unless it's Arma 4 or FreeSpace 3 :P

Heck, I might even wait for the inevitable GOTY edition - i got BL2's GOTY for $15 which was well worth it.

They seem to be suggesting that there's too much conflicting information at the moment, and that 30% perf hits are overstated.

Re: Why 'Ryzen'

Zen just sounds more dignified, more... zen... to me. It conveys a sense of confidence, calmness and clarity.

Ryzen just sounds like what a marketing department would come up with - something #cool to "appeal to its user base".

Re: Will the RISC-V ISA replace X86 and ARM?

Intel is totally under threat from ARM. Intel (and x86 in general) dominates all computing devices above tablet size. The ARM "threat" is based on the perception that (a) ARM will provide x86 performance soon and (b) the price/power/performance advantage will be highly significant and wil...

Yeah that's the thing. There are still very few games that we can draw any really holistic conclusions from. Doom is perhaps the only popular game. RotR had tech issues of its own and does anyone even play the new GoW (and it had issues too)? No one seems to play AotS (only benchmark it) and its ben...

Re: Geforce GTX 1060 Leaks

I am interested to see how a card with a 192 bit memory bus can compete with a 256 bit memory bus card. I find it hard to believe that GDDR5x could make up that difference since the RX 480 has improved texture compression. I'm pretty sure a hypothetical 16 bit memory bus card of 2016 could compete ...

From what I could gather, 6-pin being out of spec *may* be an issue because if it's accidentally left disconnected (and I did this recently while troubleshooting some cards I have in my possession, so it can indeed happen) then it may pull everything from PCIe, which would be bad. We notified AMD of...

Frankly if you were waiting for Zen till 2017, then the sanity check would have been required. ;) Waiting for new hotness (Vega/Polaris/Pascal) makes sense, waiting to get 2015 performance and 2013's chipsets in 2017 is not sensible IMO.
