Yeah, I'm not sure how EA are responsible for this, to the point of calling them negligent and suing them for it. It's basically saying it's their fault. That's highly accusatory and damning. There will be murder or crimes with or without higher security from event organisers. The escalation theory would start to take effect, where if there were multiple security cards at the doors, the gunman might find a vantage point instead. It's why I think the argument that giving everyone guns would protect them from mass shootings is like giving a paracetamol to a patient with a tumour. It's a pointless escapade because murderers will find other means to commit their crimes. The problem will always be there until you get to the root of it, which is the human condition. Not tighter security, not guns, not bullet proof glass.

Just so everybody knows the gunman was a player who lost in the tournament. Quite literally the definition of a sore loser.
Not much EA can do about it.

Although They are being sued for lack of security and apparently they didn't have any reservations to use the mall it took place in. They kinda just showed up without paper work and the mall said eh whatever it's fine.

And I'm pretty sure that Samsung with its 16Gbs supplies for the Quadro family.

Considering Micron has more supply and they are soon releasing 16Gbps I'm sure we will see RTX cards come with it. It'll be interesting to find out how that will affect prices. Assuming they stick with Micron or the AIBs use Micron. Who knows. I'd think that extra 2Gbps would impact performance more than core overclocking so I could really see them going for it.

Yep, AIBs can likely do whatever they want?

Ryzen 10 core 2800X maybe on the AM4 socket to combat Intels 8 core -

Cinebench is too easy to fake, the scores also look super similar to an Intel 10-core 7900X.

I also don't see AMD making a new 2000 series silicon for a single SKU, never mind the fact that AMD's CCX units come in sets of four, and that they always seem to disable the same number of cores in every CCX at once.

For example, Ryzen Threadripper (1st Gen). These models have two dies with two CCX's each. AMD has an 8-core, 12-core ( core per CCX) and a 16-core (+another core per CCX)(All cores in use).

I don't see AMD doing a major design overhaul before Zen 2/7nm. It is also worth remembering that Ryzen 2nd Generation is just Zen with a bit of extra polish.
 
Could they not pack 2 x of the new 8 core modules onto 1 PCB and disable 3 cores on each or use CCX's that don't make the grade for the full 8 cores and use ones that have 5 usable cores ?

I don't think you can disable cores on one CCX and not the other. I don't even think I can even set up a 8-core Ryzen to have 5 cores active in the BIOS.

The two-die hypothesis would be far too much silicon for AM4, as while it could physically fit in there, cooling it would be a different story. Basically Threadripper on AM4. Then there is also the fact that the AM4 socket is not designed to with two dies in mind.

Even if the got two dies working, it wouldn't be optimal, as one of the two dies wouldn't have direct memory access. Too many disadvantages to be worth it.

If the Ryzen 2800X exists, its a Ryzen 7 2700X with higher boost clocks speeds.

Three years. There, I said it. Anything before three years is a tech demo.

I completely agree dude, albeit I do still think the technology is very very cool.

At the moment my dilemma is that I'm currently on a 980Ti and wanting to upgrade. I am under no illusion that RTX is not a fully playable technology imo (at least not at high framereates on 1440p). What card would be best for me to upgrade to? 2080 or is the standard upgrade of the 2080ti not including RTX worth going for...

Get a pre-owned 1080 Ti, They can be had for around £500, Lower if you get a good deal.

EA/DICE have banned the word "white man" from chat in BFV -

Click to expand...

Yep and "DLC" "LAG" and a few other words.

I have already told my friends, I won't be playing anymore EA published games or buying them.


Of course 2 of my friends are saying there is nothing wrong with it and that it's being blown out of proportion etc, but if it was anything but "White Man" that had been censored there would be outrage all over the internet and news.

I am surprised I haven't got a warning of twitter for my tweet about it, since they like to class a lot of sensible talk as "Hate Speech" because it doesn't align with there political views.
