Some pretty awful table/grid gore here: https://techreport.com/review/34672/amd-ryzen-7-3700x-and-ryzen-9-3900x-cpus-reviewed/ You're getting a lot of forced line feeds. Padding is set to 20, if you reduce it to ~5 it looks like it corrects it .entry table td, .entry table th, .comment table td, .co...
970 SLI ($312 Oct 2014 + maybe $280 for second one, maybe Q1 2015?) 1070 $460 June 2016 1080 Ti $770 ~Sept-Oct 2018 2080 Ti $1200 ~March 2019 My Gigabyte Auros 1080 Ti failed twice in the first 6-8 months, bought an EVGA 2080 Ti while waiting on the second RMA, they actually sent a 2080 back which I...
the fact is that where I live the #1 selling CPU in the biggest e-shop is the 9900K and the #1 selling GPU is the Asus 2080 Ti. So there's also that. You're going to go gray early if you spend your life arguing on the internet with cherry picked facts. https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videoc...
HBM always seemed like a bandaid to the fact they couldn't keep up with Nvidia's caching and tiling architecture since Maxwell. I was surprised to see Pascal make even more substantial leaps in how much performance they could extract from what memory bandwidth was available. AMD seems to continue wi...
Are you lost? This is a computer hardware forum on a computer hardware website. Maybe try a Honda forum, or at least if you're going to post here pick one of the off-topic forums.
I ended up following through on my update. I got a TS-832X and five 10TB EasyStore drives (WD white label helium drives). I'm running RAID6 (n-2) for 30TB (decimal) or ~27TB (binary) of usable storage. I do think transfer rates are a bit worse than my TS-431P with the RAID1. It seems 65-80MB/s susta...
I like having a NAS given I have a few PCs and tablets on my home network that interact with the data, though 1gbit ethernet definitely limits performance. I do find near 100MB/s read/write is sufficient for what I need, but involves some waiting for large transfers. I've started to eye a new box ov...
I'd probably take a single threaded Intel core over an AMD SMT core all else being equal. SMT/HT isn't magic, and Intel still has a slight edge on IPC and real-world clocks with their latest revisions of Turboboost. I think the real advantage of AMD over Intel on 6 core parts is the overclocking and...
I have a QNAP TS-431P. They are $261 on Amazon right now. I've been happy with it. 4 bays and supports up to 14TB drives for 56TB total storage. I have a pair of 3TB WD Red in RAID1 leftover from a junky buffalo 2 bay NAS and another pair of 4TB HGST RAID1 drives in it now for "7TB" of use...
Ffmpeg has nvenc support to encode h264 and HEVC. It works great. It can be 5-10+ times faster than your CPU. From my understanding their NVENC encoder may not end up having the best peak efficiency and quality compared to a very high preset CPU renderer, so if you want to produce something for fina...
I basically agree, we're going to see a part still a step or two behind on IPC and single threaded performance. Some games will do well, i.e. any game that shows well on the 5960X, but those are pretty thing pickings. A few games will be catastrophic, like Arma 3 or Day Z as evidenced from TR's late...
10. Long time TR reader! 9. It's the 10 year anniversary since I last won a giveaway on Techreport, let's celebrate! :wink: 8. I didn't capitalize the "r" in Techreport above line! 7. My current PSU has a puny 120mm fan when everything else is 140mm. Save me from this tragedy. 6. That ...
Non-beta 1.40 BIOS is still present as well, and allows me to BCLK overclock. Linpack speed still hampered but CPUZ confirms the overclock sticks. So much for them pulling the SkyOC BIOS?
Despite the announcement that ASRock is pulling SkyOC it appears it is still available: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z170M%20Extreme4/index.us.asp?cat=Beta The BIOS for my board is still available. I checked the md5 with the version I downloaded a few weeks ago and it has not been modified. Z17MX4...
Did some quick tests with Linpack. I just modified the default runme_xeon64_ao.bat to set threads = 4 and ran it. i5-6500 @ 4.16 ghz shows around 40-50gflops, my 6700K @ 4.7ghz shows more like 225-240 gflops. I'm not sure if I'm running this right, it seems to run off into la-la land, so I let it ru...

I've been working on a secondary PC build with an i5-6500 (got a killer deal), just finalizing the board, but I'm finding some curious missing links on ASRock's page as I try to determine which board to purchase while ensuring it will be an overclockable setup. This link, often linked to by tech new...
My target is to stay under 70C on CPU, and I feel that's still well on the safe side. Skylake 6600k/6700k seem to hit 4.5 ghz with relative ease, then quickly starts hit a wall around 4.7-4.8. YMMV and all.
Easily worth the $60. It has an amazing amount of content, plus on PC all the online stuff and DLC crap is included in the price. If you have a decent machine it's got amazing graphics in terms of how it scales and handles LoD. Maybe not quite as shader heavy looking as Farcry 4 or Witcher 3, but it...
