Quick News

Don't know how real this is but GGF Lan just posted a pic of the RAMPAGE V EDITION 10 on facebook, Seems to have gotten mixed comments.

Personally I think Asus are definitely going down the tacky route :(

I think when people said "oh I want this colour" or "needs RGB LEDs" manufacturers listened maybe a little too much.. KISS is the best way, that board would be sexy as hell if it didn't have all the OTT branding and accent lighting everywhere.
 
I see these boards and think I wish I could afford to spend that much, but in this case and even though I freely admit to being asus all the way I'm glad I can't afford it

After I get my 5960X I'll be sticking with the original RVE as long as possible as everything coming out looks like cheap and tacky 80's toys.

I swear just of late it's only EVGA and maybe 1 Gigabyte board that would get my money, everyone else has gone dragon, carbon, RGB mental! (excluding the Sabranco and X-Power) OK maybe 4 boards I like.

Still the over branding and lights are getting ridiculous, everything is starting to look like those childrens trainers with the flashing lights in the sole.

The only decent boards IMO are the stealthy looking armoured Sabertooth boards, Pretty much all of EVGA's boards and the current RVE, This RGB nonsense has made good looking boards look cheap and tacky.
 
Yeah but still all the red is gone so ROG is no longer ROG :(

Then set the lights to be static and red?

I swear, every time I hear someone complain about the aesthetics of flashing lights or RGB, I catch a small amount of their stupidity..

Disclaimer: Note that I didn't say anything about added cost, OTT branding or tacky plastic (I've had people twist my words in that particular way before). I'm simply stating that one cannot complain purely about the aesthetics of RGB lighting without looking like a complete idiot.

From everything I have seen so far the orange lights are not RGB.

No stupidity, Just common sense, Do you honestly think I wouldn't just switch the lights to red if it was possible ?

If it is full RGB and not just orange then I might consider it.
 
OK so here's some quick news??... Alright I confess it's more of a hint of a hint, but by the power of Greyskull I hope it happens.

So as we know Doom is a master piece and very much the shooter many have waited for especially us older boys and girls and ID delivered!

Well some hint/speculation has been revealed by Tweaktown stating that ID software are now recruiting 12 new developers (programmers and artists) for their Texas office and also 5 positions at their Germany office.
I've had a jolly good scout and can confirm the findings and I'm very excited if the advertised information if 100%
"id Software is looking for a Senior Physics & Simulation Programmer to work as part of a development team on legendary id game properties like DOOM and QUAKE, developing physics and simulation technology for the game industry’s most advanced engine technology. This position requires engaging in a proactive, high energy development environment on our core technology team. "

Now taking this into account and also taking into account ids most celebrated titles we have already had so far including Wolfenstein, Rage & Doom so with that in mind that only leaves Quake!! Please gaming gods let this be so!

I just assumed Asus had listened to the comunity and not put yet another board with RGB lighting AND a non-changeable colour into production...

I apologise for my rude behaviour in my previous post, as I had clearly misunderstood your point of view. I'm just so fed up with people not understanding the point of RGB.

Really hope it's Quake. Love the Wolfensteins but haven't had a crack at DOOM yet. I absolutely loved Quake 4 and can't quite believe it's been over ten years...
 
I would love a new quake but I hope it doesn't have any sort of enhanced movement like the new doom game does, and whilst I have not tried the new doom game I personally will not play it because it should have been kept original not made to be like, the new cod games where people are complaining about the enhanced movement system.
 
People will complain no matter what if they kept it the way it was then people would say it's out dated as they have updated it people are moaning it's not like the old days ... enjoy it for the game it is with the lore of doom don't compare it to the old doom if you are go back to win 95 or what ever it was bundled with and stop moaning.
 
Don't know if anyone has read much about DX12 and the 1080, but seems like yet again no Async support, just better Pre-emption along with Dynamic Load Balancing(Maxwell had a static version). This is what gives the 1080 better DX12 performance, but barely so. Also why it hardly beats the FX in DX12 content so far.

I know no one likes WCCFT, but to be honest this article actually has credit to it. Unlike all there rumor articles.

Same argument could be said regarding double point floating precision, we know AMD excel at it and Nvidia struggles, then we could also bring up Intels ability to leap forward with much higher IPCs than AMD.. Each manufacturer has there strengths and weaknesses.
