    Geforce GTX 1080 Ti now official - Faster than Titan X ($699)

    Your comment may yet prove to be very insightful. They have done it to cut costs by removing 1 memory chip and probably also to differentiate it from the 12G Titian.

    I think ill pass and keep my 980ti that has a traditional memory bus. Not a funky 352 bit bus. Forget that.

    M.2 SSD's

    No need for a cache with 950 Pro, 960 Pro or 960 Evo. (they all have their own on board DRAM Cache) How well does PrimoCache survive a sudden unexpected loss of power? You say simplification, but by adding in PrimoCache you have actually complicated matters by adding a software based volatile...

    Quick Minor Question about UEFI and MBR vs GPT

    I did exactly this, cloned my Windows 7 MBR to a GPT partition scheme on a new Samsung 950 Pro 512GB and fixing up the boot partition, I cheated and used Windows 10 to create the GPT partitions then cloned my windows 7 build over the top of the windows 10 install, then used the windows 10...

    Samsung announce SM961 PM961

    This is not an apples for apples comparison, the 950 is the 256G model vs the 961 being 512G a fairer comparison would be the 950 pro 512G as its read would be up in 2650MB range. Still the 961 looks impressive.

    Air 540 exhaust fan replacement options

    I went ahead and brought the Noctua installed and working as expected connected to the X61 fan headers. One thing to note for the AIR 540 case is that a completely square fan frame blocks the top side panel screw, I had to remove the fan and drill a hole to allow the top side panel screw to...
