  1. Also the arguments that Ryzens are too expensive seems so weird. They are about half the price of their Intel counterpart, that seems pretty cheap to me if they are even close on performance, they could even lose a little and still have a lot better value.

     

    Yeah, this is the first complain about Ryzen prices I've seen.

  2. Skates, your intentions are good but AMD is still inferior no matter what you tell yourself or what you get out of the benchmarks.

     

    You could not pay me to buy an AMD chip.

     

    Well, Kaby Lake certainly isn't an improvement over Skylake, in fact they have the exact same IPC. Ryzen won't have to be that much faster than older Intel cpu's to catch up to their more modern ones.

  3. I read today that some of the benchmark guys reportedly used a wrong driver, and there was already an improved one. Still the power issue, but the cards are a bit faster. Still not near the 1070 (yet?) though.

     

    As an AMD fan (or better Nvidia hater), I can tell you that it will never come close to the 1070. It wasn't designed for that.

  4. From what I've heard, the non-VR numbers are less impressive but still a significant improvement. For me, I was planning to get a 1070 or AMD equivalent before the 1070 was ever hinted at. I typically try to update my GPU every 2 generations. The charts by nvidia I've seen all suggest a substantial improvement over their entire lineup even with the 1070 in all cases, not just VR. I've linked a reputable video below, the technical discussion starts at 3:15 and carries on for the rest of it.

     

     

    Linus is a known Nvidia fan.

  5. What a waste of time. If I had spent time/$ to go to such a lame event, I'd be sending TM the bill. 2020. What a joke. Saitek is not much better off, and ever since the guy who owned CH Products sold it off, they've gone to crap too - no parts after 2 year warranty is up, and the internals look like drunk children are putting them together.

     

    Hey, let's not forget Logitech. :lol:
