That isn't happening right away doesn't mean that isn't going to happen. I'm not sure about you guys but from experience companies doesn't move quick or perfectly. Mistakes and inconsistences are going to happen and the move could take months to be complete.

Thanks for the information!

Why do motors rev high and stay high for a few seconds when you turn on the engine in a cold start? What is what happens during those few seconds and why it doesn't happens if the engine is off for a short time (30 min or so)? I'm guessing that it is something important like getting oil...

Should we expect the performance numbers to improve by the end of the year?

Mine came with profiles max set to 80 °C and objective to 70 °C (I'm not sure about this one). I never saw the fans going over 35 % and changed the fan speeds and temp thresholds to keep it cooler. Regardless at stock I was able to see some peaks of 69 °C while having an average of 59 °C; I...

Thanks for the answers. That makes more sense than the definition from the URL I posted.

I'm kind of confused of what is it and what it means to me as gamer? I read this description and I didn't really got a good hold of it: http://tinyvga.com/faq/graphics-cards/what-is-the-difference-between-vram-and-dram Basically: How much does a video card has of that Dynamic Memory? Is that...

That happened to me once like 2 years ago and it was that I changed to the power saving plan in Windows. It sounds trivial but it is a lesson I'll never forget.

Ok, I'll get the RX 480 then. Thanks,

I'm thinking on buying a new video card and I was considering the XFX RX 480 GTR. After checking some reviews I found that the RX 470 is really close to the RX 480 and I started to think if the price difference is worth the performance. Clockwise there seems to not be a lot of difference but...

I was on the same boat as everyone else until I saw a video from Digital Foundry about performance with different RAM speeds. I haven't seen buyer's guides and/or RAM testing in Anandtech for a while.

That was pretty interesting. I should do fine with with 2.0 at 16X. Thanks, it was a good reading.

Thanks! Hopefully it's going to turn out good for me. I don't expect to go higher than 1080p and that PC.

Can a MB with a PCI-E 2.0 connector support a video card that supports PCI-E 3.0 or is it compatible? For Example, Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128693&cm_re=GA-H81M-H-_-13-128-693-_-Product Video card...

I have a Corsair CX430M and a Core i5 4430 with everything at stock speed and voltage. I think that I should be ok but still 750W got me nervous.
