Been using Edifier C2+ (2.1) for ~6 years for my desktop PC at home and it's still going strong. Recently bought Edifier R1280T (2.0) for my other place and very happy with it. In my impression, while lack the deep bass of C2+ the R1280T offer wider sound stage -- due to the 4" driver pair. And...

Yet NV DX 12 overall performance per flops/watts/transistors still comfortably ahead of AMD. Must be due to some magical drivers then.

Considering the pervasiveness of change AI could bring to our future shortly, you're right on one account; NV isn't aiming for the future -- they just help shaping it up.

There are still many GF108 based cards in sale by NV partners. Such as GT 610, 620, 630, 710 and 730 with 128 bit GDDR3 configurations. I'd imagine it is simpler for NV to have one driver with unified set of API supports than having to maintain separate branch just for Fermi.

Most people here aware about Steam survey, but probably many are not aware that Unity has also started collecting similar data since some times ago. Geared more toward indie games and casual players, it paints quite similar pictures with what Steam survey reveal. On windows platform in...

Why stop the conclusion at that though? We can also add this for fairness sake: Ryzen does compare better to 7700K in DX9, DX11, OpenGL and Vulkan titles when paired with NVidia GPU. The only definitive conclusion here is just reinforcing that Ryzen 1800X is slower than 7700K in gaming. You can...

Yeah this must be it. Ryzen had some "issues" with memory performance. I.e.: http://www.eteknix.com/memory-speed-large-impact-ryzen-performance/ The fix with AotS also basically related to memory access/caching improvement: https://twitter.com/FioraAeterna/status/847472836344033280...

Ryzen is targeting the segment where there hasn't been much competition with regard to GPU. That said I'm not expecting it to happen either. Better spend resources on upcoming titles and AMD should know that already. Devs should have gotten their hands on of Ryzen by now. Ryzen userbase...

Isn't DX 12 is all about giving full control to developers? Maybe AMD should talk to Crystal Dynamics? They worked with Oxide and boost AotS performance on NVidia hardware (see footnote) -> http://www.amd.com/en-us/press-releases/Pages/stardock-and-oxide-2017mar30.aspx

Timewarp won't help with dynamic objects, specular, reflection. No, but judderfest for sure.

Timewrap/reprojection only has any relevance if the GPU (and its driver!) is failing to keep up the required minimum frame rate. But you always want to avoid it for the best VR experience. When it does happen though, producing timewrap/reprojection frame should not be a costly operation. I'll be...

Heh, it's more like AMD PR has done a good job to get even mentioned in Alienware PR piece at all. As I don't see why any one who are willing to spend that kind of money with Alienware "first VR ready" laptop would go with AMD GPU. Less performance due to to power and heat constrains? Check...

The shipment number discrepancies might have something to do with Apple.

Nvidia had to bought Ageia because Intel bought Havok and kill Havok FX. Had Havok FX launched, it will be the death knell for Ageia anyway, without Nvidia/Ati having to spend a dime killing it.

"My logic" has nothing to do with what is going to happen after the game gets finalized/released though. And I don't see anything strange for some one to expect that the final version of the game (say, 4-6 months ahead) to have a significant performance improvement over its current version. Are...
