isn't this the same problem Intel had with SMT in the beginning. Took them a year or two to sort out.

Totally agree that PC will benefit from this, and trying not to inflame the current flame war, AMD especially. Game developers will develop and optimise on AMD hardware, it will be an afterthought to...

What, the Jaguar core isn't based around modules? Well that didn't last long did it. It thought that was the next big thing.

What's so special about these drivers and will they affect the 7850?

so it's the single fastest card on the market today then?

Point A is a doubt. no one would pay $999 for that thing and only have 1 slot!

You're other two points are valid though. Although it's going to be a tight fit!

well it's a problem for reviewers now that "stock" is less common than half of the OC versions, which to be honest aren't oveclocked really but OEMs version of "stock" (if you get what I mean).

I wonder if there will be a 7870 BE anytime soon.

I'm hoping the 660ti will drop in price in the UK. At the moment it is still mroe expensive than the 7950, which makes it unviable :(

Which bios of the 7950 did you use? The new one or did you keep with the old?

I don't understand the issue here.

AMD are releasing a Bios update that will increase the performance of existing 7950 cards, at the expense of power usage. On top of that, it will have powertune...

Whenever I try and use linux, I feel someone behind me has a sign saying "Welcome to 1990"

I found it to be ok actually. far better than I was expecting.

Very true. Linux for desktop needs to be as hassle free as possible. I think it is still a bit of the legacy of it's roots that causes it to be uber complex at times.

out of interest, just how powerful will the GPU be on the desktop line of chips?

I have a 4870 and a 2.8ghz x3 right now. Would there be any point in upgrading, or would it be a sideway-grade?

12 million is a lot, as it is targeted at a specific area. Just because those companies have massive R&D budgets, doesn't mean 12 million is just a drop in the ocean. It's something that will...

thread title leave a lot to be desired. I would say market share is far higher, especially in the uk. The web sites I run for other companies, still have close to 50% IE hitting them. maybe tech...

so the god particle is finally found. What is the point of it then? I mean, what will this information actually do for us?

so, what's the latest news on this card? I couldn't find any in the last 100 pages, due to the flame wars. Is it coming out, and if so when?

And DilTech, I had a 2900xt. It was loud and huge. It...

Well you would hope the local computer stores are owned by computer savvy techies. Surprisingly, they generally are.

I've no idea the benefits of Dual channel myself, but making out that...

Average Joe goes to a local computer store, and gets an upgrade there. No warranty void there also.

I never realised how shockingly bad Ivy actually is! going through those pics, you would think reviewers would be telling the world more about the awful image quality of the Ivy chips.

what kind of performance will Trinity be offering in the GPU area? Anything to match a 5770, or are we still talking barely capable of running much above low settings?

Does visual studio use Intels compiler? Does intels compiler not compile specific AMD instructions ever? How about Linux compilers? What about C# or Java, surely they don't care about Intels change,...

well that is one hell of a card. My only concern would be future-proofing with the RAM it has.

tis easy. Don't buy games that are not worth the money they charge.
