I'm currently running a delidded 7700k with 16gb of gskill 4266 ddr4 tightened to CAS 17. My temps are fine (never above 70c during stress testing). The benefit of such fast ram is hard to quantify without hours of benchmarking, but you should be able to get a set of 4133 and go to town. Just...

Does anyone actually play AOS? Seriously, anyone?

Is this the first killer app?

The commenters in this thread as well as other threads like it on other sites are why I won't be buying AMD again. The fans of that brand sound like petulant children who have chosen this battle - with everything going on in the world - to champion. Putting down an author, website and users...

For those of us who are on the 980 ti, this makes a compelling case for the 1080 ti. Assuming it comes out at around $750, I can sell my current card for $350 then pay $400 for what looks like it will be over 50% performance improvement in most games. The only questions left are when will we...

The nite about 4K@60hz being obsolete soon is a valid one and makes the purchase price even more difficult to swallow. I'd argue that my 1440p@144hz is a more future-proof investment.

I have a feeling FO4 would have been made much better received if they had split in two parts instead of 6. Charge $60 for the game then $30 for a big DLC. The way it was released, I got bored about halfway through and dropped the game. Now I have doubts about the once infallible Bethesda...

If these prices are correct, we. Are looking at a "shot across the bow" at Optane. Very good for consumers...

That was a nice ride in the time machine.... I would have liked to seen release dates and launch prices but still a fun read....

What CPU?

Curious to see what kind of CPU resources this will use.

In all fairness, you had to wait 9 months or so between the GTX970 and the launch of the 300 series. Assuming the Polaris launch is smooth, you shouldn't have to wait very long to see benchmarks of Pascal to Polaris for comparison. The last time I waited on AMD was for the launch of the FuryX...
