    I7 4790 non k enough for BF1?

    The 4790 non k will be more than enough for BF1, I recently picked one up used with a Z97 mobo for cheap and have no issues getting over 60 fps with a 1080 at 4k with 75% resolution scaling. You also might be able to lock all the cores at 4GHz and try to overclock the base frequency. I am able...

    Significant leaks: Intel working on true 3D packaging and Raja wants to enter dGPU "with a bang"

    Good to see Intel's pipeline having interesting products for the next few years. https://twitter.com/TMFChipFool/status/982083072823840768 If I am reading this right he has heard that Icelake-Y is scheduled for Q4 2018. That would be pretty nice to have quad core fanless on the market by...

    Makes sense, in time for WWDC 2018 for an upgrade of the Macbook Retina from Kaby-Y to Cannon-Y. Though if the rumors about Icelake-Y are true then it is a skip it part for anyone other than people who can't wait till 2019.

    RIP Gamers, not even the 1080 Ti will save you now.

    Well on the plus side the used market could end up being nice for buyers come summer.

    Anyone picking up a new iMac Pro?

    Pretty slick system but the lack of a real 10-bit display and the soon to be outdated Thunderbolt controller really hurts at the price point. Intel's upcoming Titan Ridge Thunderbolt would have had a lot of utility in this system in the long term for users that are looking to upgrade the GPU...

    Discussion Intel current and future Lakes & Rapids thread

    I don't know, moving from 4 to 8 cores puts the regular iMac in position where it is cannibalizing the lower end pro. Unless the thermal design of the Mac Pro is really good throttling could severely diminish the marginal utility of the 10+ core cpus over an 8 core. Ecc memory is probably only...

    Discussion Intel current and future Lakes & Rapids thread

    If those 8-core parts are real and if they find their way into the 2018 iMacs it will be quite interesting. Combine that with the Titan Ridge Thunderbolt controller that comes with the Z390 platform and you now have a machine that kills the Mac Pro assuming you don't need ecc memory or a crazy...

    NVIDIA Volta Rumor Thread

    Benches are up https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/3170-titan-v-gaming-benchmarks-async-future-is-bright-for-volta/page-2 OCed performance varies from 1.3x-1.75x of a 1080 Ti reference (outside of ATOS which bottlenecks), dependent on the game. We will see once someone hybrid mods the card...

    NVIDIA Volta Rumor Thread

    Most of that die will not be used while gaming, relative TDP hit will mostly be a function of the FP32 ratio of the Titan V vs 1080Ti, minus the slight efficiency gain from moving to 12nm. There are also board power saving from using HBM, I also think the die nets some power savings from HBM...

    NVIDIA Volta Rumor Thread

    We should get some OCed results for games with cards arriving this week. I would expect the Titan V running at 1455MHz boost clocks to be not much faster than a 1080ti running at 2050MHz. With the Titan V liquid cooled it should be beating an overclocked 1080ti by 40%-50%, maybe even more. Also...
