I am having a hard time believing that even considering the source. Things never pan out as planned this much in advance. I can see more cores and 4.7 Ghz, because silicon is not the only limiting factor, architecture is also. And I think its great anyway.

...which does not reflect real life performance. Sequential performance is much higher than randomly accessing small files, thats what youll be doing most of the time.

I have not measured it, but it is faster. Not 500% faster as the specs appear to indicate, because its not reading sequentially and thus not using up it theoretical maximum throughput. I would say 50% faster but thats my empirical perception. I have not actually measured. to get even faster you would need an Intel Optane drive (which would halve the loading time compared to my 960 evo) but they are hard to get and woefully un-affordable (yes even compared to the SAMSUNG drive).

People are craving for 2 year old 1080's even RX580's for a premium in the face of new launches. Unthinkable, how things have changed.

But the jet is not yet competed. Not all tests are done yet. The thing that comes to mind has nothing to do with attacking ground targets. I suspect it is there to test the neighbors reaction and interception times to the new su-57.

Saw that too.

We know from AMD that base clocks and boost are going to be higher across the board. Based off an engineering prototype leaked a month ago it had 200Mhz uplift, so expect that at the very least. 4Ghz is likely to be exceeded. Expect 4.1 to 4.3 for most people wanting to overclocking it.

WVR only right? :D

Forget those, we will get a new generation in April, and 10% performance improvement (loosely mentioned by AMD), will effectively eliminate that bottleneck Not that it matters anyway because all new games are either dx12 or Vulcan that will make all your cores count (DCS included). So that's an 8 core and the biggest gfx you can afford will be fine.

I know that, what I meant is that the replacement should be past that phase already. Having napkin concepts now means another 20 years in development at the least, hence the 2040 time frame.

I was speaking in relative terms of course. :) In my experience my R7 has been pretty snappy in any scenario. The bottleneck is theoretical and measurable but the ingame action is smooth on every title with detail maxed out.

I am amazed that they decided to go the flankereske route instead of having secured development of the 6th gen years ago to replace both the F-15 and F-22. I cant imagine the same airframes built in 80's and 90's still flying in the 2040.

They put the wrong people in charge of the movie, and what disheartens me is that Disney usually hand picks people and crafts their movies carefully (even when its just for money grab which they do) Ryan Jonson wanted Game of thrones in space and Kathleen Kennedy obviously was pulling the strings to push her rubbish personal ideology agenda down our throats with this movie. It figures. Ruined it.

Is DCS 2.5 using vulkan already? DX11+R7 will bottle-neck the 1080Ti. current Ryzens dont have the single core perf to do keep up. I dont expect this to be an issue with Vulkan because then R7's will be firing on all cylinders (cores).

LULed hard :D dat holdo B*tch

the last photo, already heading away.

The car was parked in orbit for a few hours yesterday but the second stage was lit again after that, and it has been sent away from earth by now.

Elon musk already saved 2018 from being a terrible year. :) (that was what the people said in 1969 ;) )

Look who he is! :D Welcome back bro

the car is being streamed live from orbit :D aBr2kKAHN6M

no biggie, bugs are supposed to be ironed out, just glad the cargo has been successfully deployed and that proves the concept.

THAT WAS AMAZING the car is now playing space oddity on a continuous loop on its way to mars LOL :D 4Dohbin-TAQ joeivte8MYM

But at the same time a quake happened on Taiwan. This will be the age of second hand DIY building :D I will sell my PC for 100.000$ see specs below :D

Krypto currency crashing now, might see lots of GFX on the second hand market soon. The bubble is bursting.

I almost forgot. Aren't the Iraqui and Egyptian Vipers limited to Sparrow? AFAIK those 2 operators were off limits for AMRAAMs exports but I might be mistaken I'm speaking of my own memory.
