It'll die down in a week or two when people realise they are on the bandwagon 2-3 years too late, even for Litecoin. Bitcoin is almost unpossible these days, but less than 2 years ago a friend managed to "mine" 50 in one go in about a week using just a CPU miner. He sold them at the time for...

Hardly. Look at the original HardOCP 290X with the fan set to 100%. In Farcry 3 just the boost clock alone (without a "real" overclock) gets another 10-20% over the "uber" setting of 40% fan. With a decent HSF like ASUS CUII, there's plenty of performance left on the table for the 290X. A few...

290 non-X was pushed back to Nov 5th last week. It's not yet completely AWOL.

Mantle is being "announced" at the end of November, with benchies in BF4 in early December. Or so was the schedule a few weeks ago...

So, using those numbers, we would expect that it should be able to do ~18000 @ ~100fps, rather than 17000 @ 41fps, on a supposed best case scenario?

The Livestream is working, I think they've just muted it. And as I typed that, the music started for me again. Made me jump!

Procedurally generated instances (there's a boss in the woods/mine/anywhere not 100% specific) would be very awesome, making every instance slightly more interesting. Yes, you can make a fantastic looking instance by hand, but does that really matter on your 100th run though? I'd prefer...

Duke Freeman!

Easy answer is: what we have now still isn't enough. Fairly disgusted that the Titan still isn't 64ROPs, no matter how efficient they are. Moar pixels damnit! I want a 4K 32" monitor this year. Moar Moar Moar!

Another piss poor performance bump for far too much money :( This is definitely the card that the 680 should have been ~1 year ago. We're being fleeced!

I think what most people are getting confused at is the numbering system for any new cards. AMD have left themselves with nowhere to go, given their history. They've never gone up in less than 10's (ie, no 7971's) and they've never (AFAIR) gone to "even 10s" (ie 20, 40, 60). We already have a...

Site goes live; site crashes. Scumbag server.

I'm left hoping you're trolling. Are you just expecting to discover everything by accident? Free energy for everyone! Fantastic. Yet without doing *some* directed research into areas of energy production/manipulation, how do you expect this to occur? Penicillin is probably the best known...

Just went and messed with a new mac book pro. In less than a minute, found a load of places in the UI that arent full DPI yet. Looks so bad when it doesn't look good. 15" screen is far too small too, hadn't realised. Nice idea Apple, but poorly implemented. Wake me up when I can get a 4K 30" screen.

I *may* have bought a ring on the gold AH for about 1mil, and sold it on the RMAH for £40. TBF, it was a very nice ring, the guy who put it on the normal AH undervalued it. But I've made my money back for the game now, am happy.
