    [Digital Trends] Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti Graphics Cards Are Dying in Alarming Numbers

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4g5CZCaWXo GamerNexus suggests some of the issues could be related with display dependent. I had BSODs similar to this with my 2080 Ti and my 3 different monitors blue screened on all of them.

    Nvidia ,Rtx2080ti,2080,(2070 review is now live!) information thread. Reviews and prices

    Wow my 2080 Ti straight up died after a week. I just got a refund, can't be bothered and switching back to my 980. Kind of bummed, was looking at a ultra-wide. Maybe I'll look for a 1080 Ti or just wait some more.

    "amdflaws.com" - What is this?

    Something seems really fishy. This website wasn't even around a few weeks ago. Also the whitepaper claims you need to flash the BIOS or have administration privileges to take advantage of the flaws... not even remotely on the level of Meltdown. If you have that level of access, you can do...

    Massive security hole in CPU's incoming?Official Meltdown/Spectre Discussion Thread

    Are those tests actually taking into account that they have to actually apply the patch? Downloading it apparently doesn't just add it.

    Massive security hole in CPU's incoming?Official Meltdown/Spectre Discussion Thread

    Great way to start off the year... What would the gaming impact be? I doubt most games really make all that many syscalls.

    Wolfenstein II the New Colossus will support DX12 and Vulkan

    Just mentioning the game thankfully isn't capped at 60 FPS like its predecessor. Playing the first few levels (got an early press code) and it seems to be well optimized.

    Lessons Learned: Ryzen Launch

    Probably because they have a lot on their plates this year. Vegas, Naples, Ryzen 3 and 5 now, Apus, etc. Put out the Ryzen 7s first ahead of the Ryzen 5 to surprise Intel and fix bugs and hopefully the latter two's launch is smoother. Probably both Mobos and AMD's fault. Mobo makers couldn't...

    Does Ryzen offer a smoother gaming experience?

    BF1 is definitely way smoother on the 1700X than my i7 3770K. Might be the extra cores helping do more background tasks, not 100% sure. Might be placebo ofc, but I don't get any stutters like the occasional one on my 3770K. I don't know why sites do tests of singleplayer BF1, I only play MP...

    This is anecdotal, but I swear the 1700X feels smoother for me when playing BF1 and Siege than my i7 3770K. Maybe its placebo, but sometimes I used to get stuttering on my OCed 3770K even when frames were high, but Ryzen seems to have eliminated that for me. (I have it on a second PC with a...

    What is up with the benchmarks all over the place? Joker for example has R7 1700 matching up to a 5GHz 7700k in gaming performance but than his 1800X is struggling to match a 7350k in some games. BIOs issues?

    I'm annoyed at that Iranian leaked review honestly. Paired it only with 2133mhz RAM and used resolutions like 1366x768? 1600x900? If you've got that much money to drop on a mobo and that cpu surely you have a 1080p monitor at least. Tetsing ita t that resolution is arbitrary at best. The...

    http://valid.x86.fr/bench/rjmzdu/1 CPU-Z benchmark found it here for 1700X: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/5wg020/1700x_single_multithreaded_cpuz_benchmark_valid/ Of course there's zero way to tell if its overclocked (probably is) and with what. Interesting nevertheless.

    All I can tell you is what I read from that chinese post, not drawing any conclusions from it yet. Also again, DDR4 2133mhz RAM for the 1700X. So those scores might go up a tad when the bios get fixed, if these are legit.

    From what I translated from that chinese post: http://pic.yupoo.com/ztwss/Gg1Rl9iq/12exqY.png the 1700X which is 8/16 is drawing less power than the i7 6800K... For gaming for example, it says 1700X is doing 154.66 watts while the i7 is doing 194.2 watts. EDIT: For Office related work it...

    I might have access to them. ;) NDA though, so our company won't be publishing anything yet. Our readship/viewership is actually locally aimed, there's plenty of interest here in Ryzen. The sample boxes look exactly like what this guy got, though we got like five or six of them on hand...

    The company I work for got a few Ryzen samples. Came with some Gigabyte and MSI mobos and some DDR4 ram from Corsair. Hopefully motherboard availability is ready on launch.

    The 1700 Ryzen is going to be a big seller. People might just get that instead of the 1700X and save money for a better mobo.

    Resident evil 7 full game benchmarks

    I will say the game gives me a ton of stuttering whenever I enter a new area with my 980. Fury seems to be mostly smooth, but I suspect areas are streamed in. The game does run pretty well, over 100 FPS for both my setups. Game itself is fantastic. Really feels kind of claustrophobic and...
