    [Benchlife] R9 480 (Polaris 10 >100w), R9

    The product naming is all speculation based on speculated performance from speculated TDP... it's all in the air.

    You're forgetting Polaris is on 14nm and Pascal is 16nm

    [VideoCardz]NVIDIA GP104 and first Polaris GPUs supposedly spotted on Zauba

    Hmmm... do we really think AMD will ship a high end part mid 2016? Should I be holding off on buying a 980ti at this point if I'm mostly looking to power VR and fall games?

    GSM Galaxy Nexus $440 at Newegg

    Got a new in box Sensation 4G for $240. Not bad. It's about on par with the GNex when overclocked to its full potential, and CM9 roms are making serious progress on it. The camera is better than the GNex too. My only real complaint with it is the state of CM9 on it, but that is coming along...

    intel 320 priced out on the egg

    How is $550 even remotely competitive when you can find realSSD C300 256gb for a little over $400? I won't touch a 300gb g3 for more than $440. I think their pricing is utterly ridiculous.

    Laptop manufacturers confused about dedicated GPUs w/ mobile Sandy Bridge?

    I posted to other forums because I'm hoping someone has an explanation. Notebookcheck is basically the gold standard of notebook GPU benchmarking; they have multiple results usually which they aggregate into a single result with standard deviation marked on a line. I added the anandtech link to...

    Laptop manufacturers confused about dedicated GPUs w/ mobile Sandy Bridge?

    HD 3000 may well be different as far as drivers because the hardware is different

    Laptop manufacturers confused about dedicated GPUs w/ mobile Sandy Bridge?

    According to wikipedia and anandtech, all mobile sandy bridge processors feature the Intel HD 3000 graphics GPU. Yet a bunch of new sandy bridge laptops have just come out displaying specs with dedicated GPUs slower than Intel HD 3000. Benchmarks...

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    Why are so many monitors now being released in 16:9 aspect ratio? I find this recent trend genuinely disturbing. The last thing we need is even less vertical space. Computer monitors are not really for watching videos on, they are for reading documents and internet on, and doing other WORK. 16:9...

    Do latest ATI Catalyst drivers offer option similar to NVidia Scaling?

    HOLY SHIT, they finally added this? We had been waiting for years and I finally jumped ship to nvidia for it. i'm honestly blown away if they added this. So they really have all of the same options as nvidia? FINALLY? I can get the videocard to render black bars on ATi????

    Soyo 24" Topaz now TN's

    Thats a good trick since they were never PVA in the first place. The panel USED to be a AU Optronics M240UW01 V0 which is a P-MVA panel ( http://cn.fpdisplay.com/produc...ile_20060813164333.pdf ). Same panel used in a BenQ 24" monitor retailing for >$600. This BenQ monitor has been OoS for...

    Soyo 24" Topaz now TN's

    it makes sense that they are moving to TN. other monitors based on this panel are long out of stock. i imagine that the panel is out of production and it is only a matter of time until all of the P-MVA's are gone. i really would not recommend this monitor to anyone anymore. the only reason it...

    Soyo 24" Topaz now TN's

    the colors invert from an extreme low angle, they do not "darken". beware of inverting colors from extreme low angle. i have one of the good soyos, and the colors simply do not change from any angle. maybe a tiny tiny bit, but really they dont change

    Good Value 8-bit LCD?

    the soyo really is pretty great. OSD kinda sucks and not many inputs, and the QC isnt great. but most of the time you will just be looking at it, so if you get a good one, it is a FANTASTIC, amazing deal.

    Does that work with 16:9 signals as well, leaving you with black bars at the top? Or are you SOL in the case of 16:9?

    Aspect Ratios and Hardware Scaling in Monitors

    I meant 1280x720. I was setting it in the computer section, but it still didn't work. The other resolutions did just not that one. Regardless, I'm looking for a monitor with hardware support so I can hook to an xbox 360. If anyone knows of a review site or a list or anything that talks about...

    24 inch non-TN monitor - which to choose?

    From what I have found there aren't many good options right now. I think the old 2407WFP was a winner but it seems to have been discontinued.

    Aspect Ratios and Hardware Scaling in Monitors

    Is there a list somewhere of monitors that have aspect ratio options for their hardware scalers? You would think this would be a moderately important feature to people given that neither ati nor nvidia seem to have reliable solutions (I have an nvidia card and when i set it to maintain aspect...
