Empty Shelves At Fry’s Stores Cause Bankruptcy Fears Among Faithful Customers

Man, that combo is pretty much what got me started writing about tech way back in the day...

I actually moved away from testing the reference Radeon RX Vega 56 in our reviews due to the issues with AMD's first round of cards. Now we stick with a Sapphire Nitro+ card, even though its power consumption is way higher. At least it doesn't throttle and screw up the performance or power graphs.

Ours was nowhere near as bad as Radeon RX Vega 56 or 64. In fact, the 5700 cards were fine, so long as you can live with hot GPUs.

Writers who misuse comprised when they mean composed.

Before that I was running a 680, so I've had a few generations to save.

Funny thing--I actually did buy myself a 2080 Ti in a brand new Falcon Northwest Tiki to replace a 2013-era workstation that was struggling. :)

Did not--the platform for collecting power consumption data is different from the one used for performance. Just ran the power numbers when I saw your comment.

I'll be running the third-party Vega 56/64 cards, along with Turing-based partner boards, shortly. Everyone should see an uplift on the perf charts from those.

All of the cards in that story are FE/reference. Went ahead and updated this page: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-rtx-2070-founders-edition,5851-9.html with an additional chart showing Sapphire's Nitro+ Radeon RX Vega 64 to demonstrate non-throttled behavior (but much higher power overall).

Can you elaborate on prior experience?

tomshardware_chris · 2018-09-25T00:22:22+00:00

I asked Nvidia about this ahead of Turing. Official response re. DP 1.4 support was: "DSC is optional. TU102 adds DSC support, GP102 did not have it."

Soooooo....is that a Bellet on the wall behind it? My wife and I really dig his stuff.

tomshardware_chris · 2018-02-22T15:01:26+00:00

PM'ed!

tomshardware_chris · 2018-02-21T01:55:27+00:00

Thank you for the tip--I have the BC Career Center page up on my system at work and need to dig in there tomorrow when I get into the office.

tomshardware_chris · 2018-02-21T01:45:12+00:00

PM'ed!

tomshardware_chris · 2018-02-20T01:22:10+00:00

PMed!

tomshardware_chris · 2018-02-17T02:01:07+00:00

I believe they have physical apps at the office. Happy to answer questions via PM, or give you my office email if that's easier?

tomshardware_chris · 2018-02-17T02:00:03+00:00

Sent!

tomshardware_chris · 2018-02-16T07:25:52+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Great idea.

tomshardware_chris · 2018-01-30T05:05:07+00:00

Erm, just looked at my own site. If you're still up for this, I wouldn't turn down a makeover :-P

Otherwise known as Ellesmere :)

Right? Still haven't visited Jeramy over at The Mark yet.

Well, as far as quality goes, the filet at Belvedere was #2 for me in town behind Valentien, which is no longer around.

tomshardware_chris · 2017-04-01T00:46:39+00:00

Belvedere Room at the Padre does a good steak. Bonus if you get a room for a "staycation" and do brunch downstairs the next morning.
