    Radeon Vega Frontier Released

    Same issue for me, but I don't think it's overheating, rather the thing draws way more power than it should with it's boost speeds and my power supply cant keep up. Previous cards maxed at 250w but this is really like a 375w card, even the air cooled version. However in gaming mode you can use...

    dual 4K capable GPU

    HDMI may not be able to do 4k @ 60hz, depending on video card and monitor/tv.

    dual 4K capable GPU

    GTX1070 is supposed to be $379 when it hits retail availability. I think you really just need any graphics card with multiple display ports. I think a Geforce GTX 960 (~$150) would work. A quick look on newegg at cards with multiple displayports and supporting 4k resolution gives: Radeon R9...

    Gear of War: Ultimate Edition Performance Retest - The Game has been Fixed!

    Does this game have split screen multiplayer? If so, it might turn into a must buy for me...

    Dual GPU by way of a DX12 API plugin?

    This is pretty light on details so it's impossible to know what this is, but here's my bet: forced DX12 multiadapter in any game. That explains the wording (a pairing of a weak gpu with a strong one rather than a SLI type setup), and it really is something that could be forced. Post processing...

    Making System Calls from User Space using Linux Assemblers

    X86 and DOS are really the wrong place to start if you want to learn how modern computers work. You'd be better off getting a guide on embedded ARM development and one of the low end ARM boards, like a raspberry pi. Much less baggage and simpler to learn. Even simpler still would be something...

    Steam Controller owners - what do you think?

    I like the feel of the Steam controller. And it does a decent job of making mouse and keyboard games playable on a controller, and the touchpad is pretty decent as a substitution for a mouse. That said, it is no where near as good as a mouse and keyboard, and I'd probably still pick an Xbox...

    How much internship/relevant work experience do college students usually have?

    Take one less class a semester and pick up a (relevant) part-time job instead. 10 hours a week should be doable and will look a lot better than graduating a semester or two earlier.

    How much internship/relevant work experience do college students usually have?

    The ideal is that you should have a full time internship every summer, and part time ones during the school year. You can come into the workforce claiming degree + a few years of experience.

    NYC has Longest avg commute: 35 minutes one way

    I had a coworker who lived in Florida, where mcmansions were dirt cheap. He'd book flights well in advance, fly up North on a Monday, work crazy long hours for 3 days in a row, sleep in a used van he bought, dry clean his clothes, and shower at work, then he would return home to Florida. Got a...

    Anyone else disappointed with gsync?

    Vsync makes sure there's no tearing. No vsync means no stuttering, vsync causes stuttering. Gsync/freesync are vsync without stuttering. 7970 doesn't support freesync. Only GCN1.1 and newer cards. I've got freesync and love it. Couldn't stomach the cost for a Gsync setup.

    Anybody here an Uber or Lyft driver?

    I'm for this, it's a shame that ex-criminals, who have already served their time, are basically turned into unemployable second class citizens. As long as it was non-violent crime, these people should be employable after they've served their time to society.

    anyway to control pandora and youtubeon my pc from a smartwatch?

    There are speakers the can simultaneously take an audio plug from a PC and connect to bluetooth on a phone. And play both at the same time. Seamlessly. I'd imagine most bluetooth speakers can do this, but I know for sure that these Creative speakers definitely can...

    anyway to control pandora and youtubeon my pc from a smartwatch?

    The Pine Neptune isn't a smartwatch, it's a phone in a watch form factor. An actual smartwatch doesn't run phone apps, it runs smart watch apps and connects to the phone. There's 3 options: iWatch for iPhone Android Wear watches and Pebble, which works best with Android (but can work with...

    anyway to control pandora and youtubeon my pc from a smartwatch?

    Technically, you stated you need to control Pandora and Youtube from a portable device, you merely choose to do that through your PC.
