    Came here to post about that. Official Asrock news item here (scroll down): http://www.asrock.com/news/index.asp?ID=3625

    AM4 ITX for Ryzen

    Ok, a bit of semi-confirmed news: GB was answering questions on Reddit yesterday. Their best guess was 1-2 months for their ITX board. https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/64272c/comment/dfytcje

    AM4 ITX for Ryzen

    Well, no good info as of yet, so rumors are all I've got. The Biostars actually have product pages, so they're likely to be first. The only info on the GB so far is a leaked slide and a rumored date of June. Which is more info than exists on the ASRock, which rumor has pegged for April. I don't...

    AM4 ITX for Ryzen

    Per posts on Reddit, Biostar's boards, or at least the X370 version, are coming middle of this month. It was a screenshot of what looked like a Facebook private message from the Biostar page. There was another guy on Reddit claiming that Gigabyte told him June for their board. In an email. No...

    AM4 Motherboard Links

    Biostar now has two mITX boards up on their site: http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=879 http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=878 These are the first actual product pages I've seen for mITX boards, even though news of Gigabyte and ASRock boards have...

    AM4 ITX for Ryzen

    Per the below thread, there's an ASRock ITX board coming mid-April using the B350 chipset. I'm not sure I believe it, since there's no official announcement yet, but there it is. https://forum.level1techs.com/t/asrock-itx-am4-motherboard-estimated-to-launch-in-mid-april-with-the-b350-chipset/114167

    AM4 ITX for Ryzen

    I'm not particularly worried about X300, I just assumed they were going to be easier to use for something like this. If manufacturers want to cram an X370 or B350 into mITX, more power to them. I've got an NCase M1 sitting over in the corner that's waiting for a Ryzen build, so I'm following...

    AM4 ITX for Ryzen

    The only two I'm aware of are the Biostar in the post above you, and this Gigabyte I found today. No release dates for either as of yet. Oddly, no boards yet using the SFF specific X300 chipset. https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/5z7dnl/new_mitx_board_gigabyte_ab350ngaming_wifi

    Framerate monitoring software

    Is there a reliable, easy-to-use framerate monitor for Linux (specifically Red Hat) similar to FRAPS or MSI Afterburner? I'm trying to run down some performance problems with a recent port to Linux, and I'd really like to monitor the framerate. I've been using Valve's voglperf software...

    graphical corruption

    Nothing in the system is overclocked that I can recall. I tried cleaning the card, no good. I yanked the graphics card and switched to integrated, and the issue seems to have gone away. I'll probably order a new card in the next few days.

    graphical corruption

    Should be relatively clean. Just blew the dust off of it a month or two ago. Like I said though, its not overheating.

    graphical corruption

    So, I'm having issues with my computer starting tonight. I was trying to play Borderlands 2 when the graphics started glitching. I've had this issue before, but it's normally caused by the graphics card overheating. It wasn't overheating. Then Windows started having issues. Most text was getting...

    AMD driver issue

    I'll give some of these ideas a shot tonight. Thanks, guys. That had occurred to me, actually. I tried duplicating my primary monitor so that both screens would have the same contents, and I tried disabling the HDTV. Both settings reverted after about 30 seconds. NOTHING is sticking.

    AMD driver issue

    I just updated to 13.1. It was also doing it on my previous drivers, which were most likely 12.4 or newer. I didn't check the version before I uninstalled it, but that's the most recent installer I have laying around.

    AMD driver issue

    I'm trying to connect my graphics card to an HDTV, which works just fine. It defaults to extending the desktop, and it sets the HDTV resolution to 1080i @ 30 Hz, which is not what I want. I can change the resolution of the TV. I can change the setup so that my desktop is duplicated on the TV...

    Newegg $10 off game pre-orders

    So is this 10$ off of the price shown on that page? As in, with code, Borderlands 2 would be 40$?

    Low FPS, but also low CPU/GPU usage

    Behold: PCMark: 1899 PCMarks. 3DMark: 7369 in Graphics, 9036 in CPU, P7725 3DMarks overall. Verdict: Not so hot. It didn't occur to me to see if I could check VRAM usage. I'll do that the next time I boot it up. Yeah, I've been using a combo of Afterburner and HWInfo.

    Low FPS, but also low CPU/GPU usage

    The hard drive it's installed to is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS 320GB 7200 RPM, according to Newegg. It has 35GB free out of 300GB. Probably. I've been managing to hold on, though, and was hoping to make it until whatever the next Intel release is, since the Ivy's didn't really...

    Low FPS, but also low CPU/GPU usage

    I'm somewhat puzzled here. I recently installed and tried to play Serious Sam 3:BFE, only to discover that the performance was terrible. What seems weird to me is that it isn't maxing out either my processor or my graphics card. If it was, that would at least tell me what the limiting factor...

    HOT: Dell U2412M LCD monitor $300 shipped at newegg!

    I've had mine for going on 5 years now, and it has been awesome. I just wanted to comment that I've also seen (at least temporarily) vertical burn-in in the center of the screen. I used to get it when I was in school and doing splitscreen all the time, and it always showed what was almost a...

    Arma 2? It's been a while, but I recall at least one multiplayer match where I couldn't see squat without night vision.

    Pioneer VSX-1121-K Receiver: $399 (with code) FS @ Newegg

    From what I've heard, the 22 series is actually something of a downgrade, because they want more of a gap between this series and their high-end elite line.

    SanDisk 32 GB microSDHC Flash Memory Card: $28.59

    Been looking for one of these. In for one. Hopefully, the mp3 player I'm getting this for didn't die when I got it wet earlier. I'll find out in a few days.

    movie "Driver"

    Awkward silences with creepy smiles. It wasn't terrible, it wasn't very good, either. For a movie about a wheel-man, it had very few driving sections, and the one it did have involved hiding in an alley half the time. The rest of it was just awkward silence punctuated by ultra-violence. Dude's...

    Colleges and my plan

    Math. Calculus 1-3, linear algebra, and differential equations, especially. If you figure out where you're going to go to school, figure out what their main programming language is (this may differ by department, so you want the one Computer Engineering uses) and get started learning it. Physics...

    should I read the Ender series in written order?

    I don't actually know what order he wrote these in. I've personally read Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, and all the Shadow series. I never got into Xenocide at all, much less the last one (Children of the Mind? I'm feeling too lazy to look up the name). So that would be my recommendation...

    Prepping for P90X? Any advice appreciated

    I should probably also mention that Plyo ended up being my favorite workout of the lot. It took work to get there, though.

    Prepping for P90X? Any advice appreciated

    This, basically. First time I did Plyo, I felt like I was gonna die most of the time. Finishing probably took me nearly two hours with all the breaks I needed.

    Anyone here dance?

    I had a ballroom dance class in college. I'm toying with the idea of taking ballroom dance classes now that I've moved, as well. I think it would help with meeting people, and I found it fun when I tried it before. I've always assumed that most of the males in formal ballroom dancing are...

    "Race to the top" recruitment thread: Correlizer Project

    Yeah, as of this afternoon (all day, really) I had 9 credit. That was after crunching for 24+ hours. Something kicked in, and now I have 317 credit. That's 34 valid tasks, and I still have another 473 pending. It's at least moving a bit faster for me now.

    The Witcher 2 on a Radeon HD 4850 1 GB, doable?

    With my 4850 512MB on lowish settings at 1440x900, I'm usually between 20-40 fps in the town I'm currently at. I bumped the resolution up to 1920x1200, and that dropped to between about 10-30 fps. Mind, that's just running around town for a minute or two to check. That's paired with an Athlon...

    The Witcher 2 on a Radeon HD 4850 1 GB, doable?

    I'll try and check what resolution I'm playing at sometime tonight, but I'm almost positive it's not 1920x1200. I'm running a 4850 with 512MB.

    Mechwarrior Online (Previously MW5/MW3015)

    I'm not actually all that knowledgeable, but I've been reading up on the game/announcement/discussion since it appeared on twitter a month ago. As far as Battletech, though, I played MW4, maybe a decade ago. More recently than that, I played the Mechwarrior Dark Ages tabletop game. I still have...
