Quick News

I can't cope if my system has major downtime. It really sucks. i rely on it too much to be honest. I should go out and do normal stuff or something. :p
 
To most of my friends and family it's not. To me it's all I have. Until I get my car I'm kind of stuck here most of the time anyway. Once I start driving I'm going to try and hit the gym every day or as much as possible.

My day consists of, Get up, Breakfast, Go to the gym or clients homes and yell at people to lift weights and run faster, After that I train for 2 hours, Then come home and get on the PC.

Literally nothing else ^_^
 
Corsairs upcoming "Pro" lineup of AIO's were briefly available on Newegg for order and it looks like someone got theirs ahead of the official release date.

 
Rift and Vive Tomb Raider experience.

SteamVR support for Rise of the Tomb Raider “Blood Ties” story chapter now available!

HTC Vive and Oculus Rift owners can now experience the “Blood Ties” single-player story chapter through the eyes of Lara Croft on SteamVR. If you ever wondered what it would be like to walk through the halls of Croft Manor, VR is the ultimate way to do so. SteamVR allows you to stand in the Manor’s main hall, explore Lord Croft’s office, and discover memories long thought lost in the lower basement levels of the home of Lara’s youth. Explore Lara’s childhood home in VR and uncover a Croft family mystery that will change her life forever.

The SteamVR update is free and available now. The “Blood Ties” story chapter is included with Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 year Celebration. Owners of Rise of the Tomb Raider standard edition can purchase the standalone version of Blood Ties, which is included in the 20 Year Celebration pack DLC, or purchase the season pass.

Thanks to our friends at Nixxes for their hard work on this VR update!

CaseLabs MAGNUM SMA8 A Revision

It is coming, and it is perfection.

Yeah, I've been following that thread for a week or so and all the additions make a great case the absolute perfect case for a high-end liquid cooled system. I can foresee even a lot of current SMA8 owners (JaysTwoCents for instance) replacing their older version with the newer one.
 
So while I'm not an expert in C++ yet or in any language yet and haven't reached Linear Algebra I know enough to get through some of this article. It's super interesting to me how the things I'm learning are actually being used in the real world by Nvidia.

https://devblogs.nvidia.com/parallelforall/cutlass-linear-algebra-cuda/

Basically they made a far more efficient and flexible formula for speeding up Deep Learning tasks that runs on Tensor Cores.
 
It doesn't look be as big of a jump as Maxwell to Pascal.

It isn't. See my post in the other thread. DP wise? yeah, it hauls ass but that is useless to gaming ATM. It's like Fermi again. Everything on there, bells and whistles a'plenty but unless you can find the right software it's naff. Fermi was incredible for folding etc but for gaming? not so much.

Nvidia have not done that since. Big old hot tank cores. However, Volta is tuned to do what it does in certain things and that is why they have gone back to it. Hence the 3 grand price tag. If you want it all you gotta pay for it all...

Which is probably why Ampere will be cut back, probably no HBM etc to bring the costs down. They really don't want to do another Fermi that was a disaster.

However they didn't have much choice because Vega too is fantastic at heavy duty apps and so on. The Tflops are not a million miles away on Volta and Vega. Both of them will "stink"** for gaming though IMO

** IE workstation products should not be running piddly games.
 
Apparently the guy over at RedGamingTech—who I've begun to find irritating on multiple levels—says that the Titan V "absolutely decimates" the Titan Xp in the graphics score for Fire Strike. He then goes on to quote said scores, reaffirming why I don't have very much respect for his opinion. A Titan Xp can hit 30,000 GPU score quite easily. The Titan V hits 33,000. 'Nuff said?

Also, apparently KitGuru has an insider slide suggesting Ryzen 2 will offer a 12c/24t CPU for $450 that has a turbo speed of 5.1Ghz and a base speed of 4.5Ghz. Launch date Feb 1st.
