  1. someone wants to buy cheap intel shares it seems. Seriosuly, I am now on AMD, but is your intel machine any worse after the bug reveal? No. It's probably still the fastest chip out there for the most popular games. you probably wont notice except in very specific circumstances but the market needs some speculation I guess.
  2. what we need next is to spread the game logic onto more logical cores not just the graphics rendering part. Vulkan is nevertheless a huge welcome step in the multithreading direction. :)
  3. LOL cant rep^^^^
  4. Disney is wiping the franchise clean to start a new trilogy. The way the original characters are being treated with silly roles and plots makes me sad (except for Ford who hated being solo and wanted to get killed off since empire but was convinced to come back twice for big paychecks). Rogue one was decent tho.
  5. It seems that AMD has confirmed Ryzen 12nm refresh for Q1 up to 8 cores. A new test bios based on AGESA 1.1.0.0 has hinted at memory straps of 3766 and 4000 getting special focus XFR 2 and other technologies but the officials are tight liped (then why release a test BIOS? ) :D Source: http://www.overclock.net/t/1624603/rog-crosshair-vi-overclocking-thread/31780_20#post_26511568
  6. They must have been veritable glowing AMRAAMs in space. :D On another note. The feeling I got for Ep 8 is like when you hear about how other movies original endings were rewritten and re shot in order to correct the plot to make sense and we got none of that for the Last Jedi. It's like they were experimenting on us" how about we leave as is?"
  7. here you go sir :D 1vdl4pAtno4 EDIT: jumped the gun, it's only a review
  8. They don't know how to make movies anymore but the people who watch them are to blame also, critics are just an extension of that idiocy. I came into the theater thinking it was the best sw movie, but contrary to the reviews I think rogue one was the best on this side of the century.
  9. I warned about spoilers didnt I? :D
  10. went to see Episode 8 yesterday. I have mixed feelings about it. It could have cemented the franchise on this side of the millennium with a great memorable movie. So much potential there with a few changes. I'll begin by saying: Disney please stop pretending this is game of thrones in space! :D Because the part of Rey's/Luke's story arch was absolutely brilliant, the other arch was undermined by secondary characters that contributed little to the richness of the story. The sudden deaths managed not to engage the audience because we never had time to really know them (hence my reference to game of thrones). nor did their sacrifice advance to anyone's collective good in that movie.
  11. So unlucky, I rarely make these posts, it had to be fake :D oh well.
  12. Perhaps, it's just the rumour mill but it's fun :D Last year they got most things true. One exception was that french magazine claiming to know the first gen Zen would reach 5Ghz, which was immediately dismissed by most sites.
  13. Looks like they are renaming Zen+ into Zen2 (previously the later was to herald the 7nm process in 2019). Those of us in AM4 are candidates for huge upgrades at cheap prices (we need full official confirmation in addition to the multiple reports suggesting this). In essence: 10 and 12 cores @ 4Ghz+ and 5.1 XFR on the mainstream for prices around 400-500$ czRO7R_KWA0 MzncRDva_HU
  14. In normal use the M.2 feels about 30% faster than a SATA SSD. However when your moving large files around or editing it becomes second to none. Currently most games are single threaded bound when unpacking game files and THAT becomes your bottleneck, not the SSD. When optimizations are made then you'll see significant differences (in both SATA and M.2. however the later just runs away ahead then because of bandwith headroom) They are doing this for star citizen but for DCS I dont think well see changes there any time soon.
  15. :lol:
  16. windows 7 is stable. Great OS. Windows 10 is always trying to break itself and beaming out data behind our backs grrrr.
  17. I checked the firmware number, it's the one mentioned in the quoted site . BTW I used magician, not the direct download, so that might explain the timing.
  18. 600, as Rico guessed right. It's 2 kits with 23% VAT contributing for this madness.
  19. Who dares to guess how much I paid for my 32GB of 4266 DDR4??? :D
  20. I upgraded weeks ago. No issues so far with my 1TB Evo.
  21. Vulkan API is huge news. It can use multi thread abilities of CPU's for rendering purposes.
  22. 4K yXgePgRsrvY N0g9hP0TuK0
  23. Not sure how many hours they have. I visited their operational base several times back in 2009 and several of the frames only had about 3000h. When we sold 12 to Romania we bought 3 more stored hulls (to re-equip and fly again) for ourselves to keep the numbers from going too low so the fleet is really a mixed bag by now. I would guess, anywhere between 4000-5000h average. The expected retirement date after the upgrade is 2030. :)
  24. Future plans as there is no direct F-16 replacement (or money to buy F35).
  25. As big as you need. IMHO 512 GB minimum. Setting it up is a question of selecting the M.2. as the first priority boot drive in windows then use a bootable flash drive with Windows 10 setup. You can do this from microsofts W10 download web page.
