Yeah, really tough times for Nvidia with the stock price about 3x higher than it was this time last year.

No 60fps on those right?

Got the Le S3 for $160. The skin is horrible and the speakers have bad distortion. Ended up selling it to a friend. With a stock Android ROM it would be a decent phone if you don't care about speaker quality. I didn't like how much bigger and heavier it was compared to my Nexus 5, but I'm sure...

I want to like the Pro3 but even at $300 I can't really justify it compared to the Axon 7. Mostly because no OLED and while it does have stereo speakers they are both at the bottom rather than facing forward. The cheaper one looks very enticing if it will be available at $150. It could replace...

It looks like the $400 5.5" only has snapdragon 625, which will be quite a bit slower than an 820. They have a 5.7" with an 820 but it's $500.

I might get one and sell my still decent Nexus 5. Isn't the Zenfone Deluxe like twice the price? The days of cheap Zenfones with great Atom cpus are over :(

You could go even cheaper and get a new Nexus 5 on ebay for a little over $100. Last generations SoCs (808, 810) have a really bad reputation for overheating and very marginal gains compared to the 800/801. If you really want to be in the $200-300 range I would get a Note 4, at least then you...

I agree that people should buy what is best. With AMD being the better long term choice them being the underdog is like a cherry on top to me.

That claim is from industry people, not some speculation. That said, it'll be interesting to compare 1070 and 1060 market share in a few months. 1060 is a lot more competitive than the 960 was.

GTX 285. 2009 was a long time ago.

You could try living with the sleep issue by leaving the PC on, or always shutting it off so you do not unexpectedly lose stuff by trying to sleep and failing to resume. Leaving the PC on is not so bad if its power consumption and noise are not too offensive. Shutting down is not bad with a fast...

I do not know what you are talking about. Proof? Also could be only relevant to recent GPUs, not the 5850.

Also check prices on the 5850/5870, these would fit in above the 460.

It really depends on the game. I am surprised at how low C2Q performance is in Metro. This is a game that would take a highend GPU to get above 30fps at 1440p though so really not much performance would be left on the table. Similar story in Total War Attila, I got 25/30 fps average with...

OP I am pretty much in the same boat here with a Q6600 and GTX 285. You can get a Q9550 on ebay for $45. If you are comfortable getting your hands dirty a little bit, you can get equivalent $20 xeons that work in socket 775 with some modifications. I think I am going to try this after getting a...
