On Monday, the new computer arrives!!! Intel Core i7 6700K, Skylake, 4GHz Quad Core 4GB EVGA GTX 970 SSC ACX2.0, 1190MHz GPU, 1664 Cores, 7010MHz GDDR5 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX, 2133MHz, CAS 13-15-15-28, 1.2V Asus Z170-K Motherboard
CyanogenMod has a pretty cool Equaliser built in. But I would not recommend installing a new OS just for an equalizer
Only if you have more money than common sense. It's like 10% better in games, and that's when you test with an overclocked Titan X, most games will be GPU bound anyway. 6600K @4.4GHz actually matches a stock 6700K (4.2GHz).
So its been a few months since I dropped my phone and the screen stopped working. I ordered a new screen for $30, as opposed to the $120 repair places wanted to charge me to have it fixed. Hopefully the new screen will work and I can go back to using a half decent phone as opposed to the glorified paperweight I'm using now. If it doesn't work, screw it I'll get a new galaxy s5 because I'm sick of my potato.
Im not so sure that it is worth the swap out. DX11 is probably going to be around for quite some time in the same way that DX9 has been. It is also worth noting that Nvidia has not finished their DX12 drivers yet so a few features are not enabled. Which means it really isn't possible to tell which vendor will be fastest in the long run. So it really is just pot luck at this point in time as to which will be fastest in a few months time. It could be AMD or it could be Nvidia. All I can say is that I don't expect Intel HD to clutch it.
Off topic from being off topic. I just realised it says Beamng.Drive tester on my profile. Why is that?
The reason AMD has better luck in DX12 is because of compute performance, something that they have always pushed harder on, drivers wont add that. We'll see over the next year or so how it goes since its not a guarantee yet. Pascal and Polaris will be what to watch over the next while. 14nm is going to be great.
"presumably." you never know I never post on here, just read. Actually that was my first post. Well depending on your interest, the R9 390 is a power wh*re and heatgun, R9 390 has a TDP of 275 W GTX 970 has a TDP of 145 W Yet i'd take the R9 390 any day. In benchmarks they perform pretty similar, in some game the R9 390 wins over the GTX 970 etc.
According to the fairly in depth article below it depends on implementation. http://ext3h.makegames.de/DX12_Compute.html Currently DX12 is far nicer on the AMD side of things, but drivers (and/or developers) could totally make a large difference. This isn't to say that Nvidia will be faster, only the future knows and it is looking like AMD will pull slightly ahead with this feature. Personally I am rooting for AMD since I want them to gain some market share. But stating that someone should swap their graphics card after they have fully confirmed the order is neither practical nor useful. Since everything is subject to change depending on how things change in the future.
