What are they trading them in for? A 7900 xtx?

Thank you!

Ummm, I know what the microphone does, the other two pieces I have not a clue. Tried looking at specs and the Corsair site, still dont know. Not an audiophile so what does the box with the buttons do and what does the box with the dial (I assume a volume control) do? For $160 I expect more than...

Not a problem with my current case, still good to know I suppose. Wonder how much a layer that blocks UV but not visible light would add to costs? I also read the other day, interestingly enough, our retina's can see some UV were it not that our cornea blocks it while remaining transparent to...

Pricing isnt horrible. Wonder how many will actually do it?

Looks like discrete silicone to me: https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/xdna.html

WILL not might :) All depends what it is or does? I use a power conditioner. I had a place, years ago, with really dirty power, previous owner had done his own electrical work and what was coming into the building wasnt great to start with. After losing a couple of monitors and a PSU in a...

My phone has a Snapdragon SOC, I cans plays Crysis?

Is it time for Amd/Intel to change from using die space on chip for x32 and other legacy support and switching to emulation as well? I wonder how much that might clean up something like my 7950 x3d, would it make room for more cores or make for smaller dies thus larger yields? Or is the area...

Looks like there are DIMMS that are 20 watts each. That's starting to be appreciable. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ddr5/micron-shows-massive-256gb-ddr5-8800-memory-sticks-high-capacity-20-watt-mcrdimm-modules-for-next-generation-servers-come-in-different-flavors

This has been a long standing issue with MS and the AMD drivers. Had to deal with it with my Corsair Laptop when I got it last year. I hope AMD and MS can get this worked out because it is freaking annoying to deal with.

Playing Secret World Legends four an hour-ish: All things considered not a significant energy sink on my system. My PSU reports from ~250 to ~600 (mostly 300-450) watts on the power in while playing.

Ya lets avoid bsod city Testmem5 maxed at 2.75 watts per DIMM or 11 watts total. I suspect the onboard power management is doing its thing to cap the power draw. What the physical configuration for the 1tb of ram? 16 DIMM sockets at 64gb each? I dont know much about the server space and how...

Ah not per dimm, per channel so 8 instead of 4 - still not very many watts overall.

Thanks, They are running about .75 to 1.2 watts each right now, not doing much though. Should get a game going and see.
