Don't see the point in saving some money on the 4 GB model

2016-08-22 19:13:32 UTC  

gotta have those nicer textures

2016-08-22 19:14:15 UTC  

Didn't see the point on paying an extra 50$ on the 8gb.

2016-08-22 19:14:40 UTC  

Yeah the 4 GB should be good enough if you are happy with normal textures

2016-08-22 19:14:49 UTC  

But if you want higher ones you need more memory

2016-08-22 19:14:53 UTC  

I plan on this just being a placeholder card anyways, the 7950 is going into a build for my nephew.

2016-08-22 19:16:05 UTC  

So you waiting for HBM2 cards?

2016-08-22 19:16:15 UTC  

Kinda yeah.

2016-08-22 19:16:32 UTC  

AMD might be able to actually compete with Intel soon

2016-08-22 19:16:39 UTC  

As Intel can't really upgrade much more with current CPUs

2016-08-22 19:16:43 UTC  

but AMD can

2016-08-22 19:16:43 UTC  

I also needed one to play with for research on future builds a friend and I are planning.

2016-08-22 19:17:05 UTC  

Gonna try and make some monies building computers on the side.

2016-08-22 19:18:49 UTC  

Did you see that video from the closed viewing amd had?

2016-08-22 19:20:17 UTC  

Zen 8 core engineering sample was a hair faster than 6900k in a blender image rendering clock for clock @3ghz.

2016-08-22 19:20:33 UTC  

Kind of an obscure benchmark though.

2016-08-22 19:20:34 UTC  

I will take all this with grain of salt

2016-08-22 19:20:49 UTC  

I do hope AMD manages to pull something decent

2016-08-22 19:20:53 UTC  

but...

2016-08-22 19:21:00 UTC  

I don't want to get over my head

2016-08-22 19:21:40 UTC  

Near haswell speed with skylake features would be amazing. Anything better than that would just be jizz in pants stupid.

2016-08-22 19:21:59 UTC  

MUH CORES tho

2016-08-22 19:22:11 UTC  

8 cores and hyperthreading like tech

2016-08-22 19:22:22 UTC  

>implying you don't want more than 4c/8t

2016-08-22 19:22:24 UTC  

shows as 16 cpus

2016-08-22 19:22:41 UTC  

fuck this 4 core bullshit

2016-08-22 19:22:45 UTC  

we need more cores

2016-08-22 19:23:04 UTC  

8 should be minimum in high end desktops ;^)

2016-08-22 19:23:05 UTC  

I have an 8 core ivyb xeon in my system right now.

2016-08-22 19:23:48 UTC  

I bought 8-core too

2016-08-22 19:23:51 UTC  

Jewtel party

2016-08-22 19:24:27 UTC  

Got e5-1650 V2 in a box waiting to be tested because Muh overclock. And the 1680 is too rich for my blood.

2016-08-22 19:24:47 UTC  

>8-core intel jewtel party

2016-08-22 19:24:49 UTC  
2016-08-22 19:25:06 UTC  

0:50+

2016-08-22 19:26:33 UTC  

Lol.

2016-08-22 20:02:35 UTC

2016-08-22 20:04:18 UTC  

Which all the other brands have had since a while back
