    Galaxy Note 7

    I know, I mean just looking at the time table and the numbers tells you something is seriously wrong with this model. Just logic alone tells you 100 and growing incidents in a smaller population of phones over a much more compressed time period isn't comparable to much fewer incidents, over a...

    Galaxy Note 7

    Regarding your numbers. That's 2.5 million phones shipped worldwide (not sold) including China which was supposed to be safe. In 2 weeks, that is like 14 to 20 charge cycles (if every phone was purchased day 1) and 100 caught on fire or exploded. Iphone fire you linked (Iphone 6 and not 6s or...

    Refurb GTX 970's at Microcenter for $190. Worth it?

    Think the bundled Battlefield 1, which is itself a coupon code, prevents you from using the Master Pass $25 off code. And I think the Battlefield bundle code can't be removed so you're stuck at 229 AR. Which is still a good price.

    Nvidia's Performance Under Vulkan API Explored

    Geforce GTX 1060 Thread: faster than RX 480, 120W, $249

    So the OP should have titled the thread based on games that aren't released yet, going on projections on a sample size of what 5 to 10 games? Basing anything on Vulkan is even more misleading. It's a sample size of what, one game? Isn't there also talk that Id and Nvidia are still working...

    Geforce GTX 1060 Thread: faster than RX 480, 120W, $249

    The That doesn't make the title misleading though, across all games GTX 1060 is faster.

    Geforce GTX 1060 Thread: faster than RX 480, 120W, $249

    Isn't there like less than 10 or so dx12 games? Is the rx480 faster in all of them? Are there a lot of dx12 only games coming out in the next year or so or will they will be a mix of both? How do you know that rx480 will be faster in dx12? Given the information available, the title seems...

    Imazing is having it black friday sale. It's still only 30%, and it only applies to the single license. Too bad.

    14nm r9 nano question

    If hbm 1 and 2 are supply constrained and expensive as seems to be the case. Why would AMD use what little of it is available on cheaper cards?

    14nm r9 nano question

    I think it's more likely nano 1 will disappear when nano 2 comes out. It not like there's a lot of stock right now that will have to be sold off at fire sale prices.
