    AMD is taking over the world!(of computers)

    The American(White) engineers I speak of are regularly replaced with h1b day laborers to the point of the industry is turning into nothing but indians, a farce to assert it's based on merit, but if you care to elaborate on the differences of your American vs h1b employee pool, do tell.

    AMD is taking over the world!(of computers)

    Not my experience, the chip designers I've known weren't diploma mill h1b'rs. I don't know what backwater this is supposed to be describing but the engineers I've known worked at Intel, Motorola, AMD, Compaq, Dell, startups and their credentials weren't hollow. Reasonable proficiency...

    H1B is such a scam, we have a large educated work force pool along with new batches that graduate every year yet they claim there aren't any in order to justify H1B scabs, yeah right.

    code development/ files creation and ssd endurance.

    Use a write back cache: http://www.romexsoftware.com/en-us/primo-cache/index.html It lets you configure the delay, trims a lot of blocks, and for precaution use in conjunction with a UPS, longevity and data integrity are then secured.

    Are you suggesting the un-advanced H1B visa hires aren't cutting it?

    Dell 30" 120Hz 4k OLED display...

    I was interested in OLEDs until I found out about their short lifespan.

    Cool beans! I like the tour guide's delivery, I could listen to him explaining things all day.

    AMD is taking over the world!(of computers)

    Counter intuitive, right? Ran across a guy with a thick accent(you'd think they'd learn to speak comprehensible English in the UK) on mehtube with a unified theory of the goings on in pc land that I thought would be interesting to share: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSYBO1BrB1I

    Intel planning for thousands of job cuts, internal sources say

    Sensationalist headline: Intel running scared of AMD's Zen CPU, massive layoffs ahead of release!

    Why does the Fury beat the Nano?

    I wonder how much cooling AMD's next gen chip is going to need with its half power requirement, that tidbit hasn't been revealed yet.

    Matching Video Card to Monitor

    DX12 should be able to stretch it out some, after all, it's making much weaker CPUs viable.

    Matching Video Card to Monitor

    The rig this is for has an overclocked 3570k, 32gb, 750w ps, aka could drive & power a fury/980ti, let alone anything under them. LCD is 22", which is roughly as tall as a 1080p 24", 11.66 vs 11.77, so mostly just slightly less wide, with no lag and need of 17.5% less GPU power to keep...
