AMD.COM 5800X3D In Stock 8:33PM EST I Just bought one.

I think the Cinebench problem is with their software. The 8700K runs 5GHZ on all cores all the time only when doing a hard overclock in the bios, not using the Windows Software Overclock Utility of the respective motherboard you are using. The 3700X runs at 4.2 on all cores and like I said...

Is AMD held to a lower standard? If an Intel CPU didn't hit it's rated boost speed or Nvidia advertising a 4gb video memory GTX 970, there would be class-action suits. Is it ok to buy something that doesn't work as advertised? Even eBay doesn't let you get away with that? Just playing...

So, my 3d mark Firestrike 1.1 score is 95% of all results with my 1080 ti. I don’t want to reveal my CPU yet because that is why I’m asking if all the hype of new cpus is only to get people to spend their money. I have the money to upgrade to an 8700K but the 3D Mark 1.1 score for 1080 ti and...

Download the Asus Tweak II utility and driver. Under the fan setting click on the quiet mode and turn it off. Your fans will spin all the time. I had a person return a Asus 1070 because he claimed the card was defective because only one fan would spin up and the other would spin up under...

I seem to always have a case, power supply, Bluray optical drives, HDD/SSDs laying around that I pick up during the year when you can get them on sale. I still have some unused DDR3 that I would pick up every other month for $55.00 for 16GB at it's lowest. So to build a new box, I usually only...

I think the Tier 1 CPUs that got knocked down was probably due to the platform they run on. My Core i7 980x stock clock with GTX 970 scores 85% better than all scores in 3dMark11. My Core i7 4790K running at 4.4 on a Z97 with a GTX 970 scores 92% better than all scores in 3d Mark 11. Of...

By reading this article, it tells me that the Core i7 975 Extreme I bought for $95, with a Shuttle SX58J3 Case/Mobo/Power Supply $125.00 and a Nvidia Gtx 970, I will get the "Game" performance equal to a Core i7 4790K, Z97 Mobo, and Nvidia Gtx 970? I'm not talking about what my PC will do in...

I just built a quick multimedia machine that makes me question some of the hype over new technology. This build provided better performance than some of my newer boxes. I picked up a Core i7 975 extreme for $95.00 A Shuttle SX58J3 Barebones, X58 motherboard, cpu cooler, Power Supply, Case...

I thought the thread was about what version Intel HD Graphics was on a Celeron J1800 but the chart you pointed me to answered the question anyway. I'm still learning the forum protocol. Thanks!!

BOARD or CARD? I've been watching the Graphics Card Hierachy Chart for years and with the exceptions of the obvious Directx support, the Radeon 4850 in Crossfire for $80.00, $40 each, is as good as a Nvidia Ti 560 for $200.00 or a HD 5870 or a 6950. Computer Geeks has them new for $40.00...
