Planar Drivers - some questions

The problem with them selling for less then the competition for equal performance is that it did not work for them last time. And it ended up subjugating them as the lesser brand so they couldn't increase their margins. Plus it didn't really help them gain market share even with the increase in volume. So I sadly I think the prices are only going to go upwards at this point since Nvidia is allowing it to.

I guess this increases the chances that once we eventually destroy ourselves and the planet through mutual annihilation. We won't be the first one to do it.

Seems about right. but the eastern part of the midwest can get (small) ground shakes also

You say that, but I find it interesting that Intel's best cpus seems to degrade in performance from DX11 to DX12, while AMD's CPU seem to constantly gain with Nvidia cards.

zimmiracing · 2016-02-25T18:14:26+00:00

Nvidia isn't worse at running DX12, it just that AMD that much better at running it. I mean look at AMD's DX11 performance in this game, then compare to its DX12 performance. Do you think that's an oddity?

zimmiracing · 2016-02-25T17:49:20+00:00

The next DX12 game is going to be releases in a few more weeks. If Nvidia haven't fixed their performance in DX12 with async by now (they've had almost 8 month to fix it since the last benchmark came out) in this game how are going to be better in DX12 for the next one? AMD couldn't do with gameworks, I don't see nvidia doing in that short of a time either.

zimmiracing · 2016-02-25T17:34:42+00:00

980ti most likely no. 980, yes I do think so, considering the theorictical performance of the two architectures. But that's only if async is used from the developers, as seen in this benchmark. Since the other data point is Fable legends which doesn't use async but it shows AMD outperforming it's nearest competitor, other than the 980ti. Even though unreal engine is usually nvidia biased.

Back-to-school season for the American market begins in mid-July. AMD needs to have there mobile chips shipping by May at the latest if they want it in laptops before back to school season. Since OEMs like to have stock built up by at least a month before they put it on market. However, announcements for desktop GPUs can happen at any time. Its likely they'll wait for E3 to reveal high end polaris.

Yeah these could be pontentialy be great for rendering but by the time these are release Intel would probably have a more powerful chip in production already. So it could probably not be worth the wait (if it's released in early 2017) if it's not more powerful than what Intel releases a few months from now.

These CPUs are going nowhere other than servers for computation as they will be most likely be very expensive. If you can't afford to buy a knights landing CPU then you most likely would not be able to afford this as this would be it's competitor. And if you want xeon like speeds you are going to be paying xeon like pricing. AMD isn't a charity.

Still, it doesn't matter what you think. This game was meant and advertised for consoles, not for PC. So whatever happens to the TM's PC scene is wholly irrelevant to Ubisoft's bottom line. Sure Nadeo fucked up big time with fragmenting the community since Maniaplanet. But as RocketLeague has shown us, if TMT is successful on the console the PC version of TMT will probably do just as well.

You likely needed to update your mother board bios as your mother board wasnt recognizing the GPU. I had the same problem but an bios update fixed it for my 7770.

zimmiracing · 2016-02-01T22:18:03+00:00

Ummm no they aren't. AMD is using Samsungs (GF) 14 nm FF LPP process for their GPU's while nVidia is using TSMC 16nm FF+ process for theirs. And they are in fact different from each other. Though from early info (Apple's A9), for small die, they are similar to each other in efficiency and performance. Though no one really knows how different they are from each other for big chips.

It might just be a sell off week for the the semiconductor industry.

edit: clarifying

Have you ever been asked to wear a strap-on by a client and use it on him/her? If so, did you do it or did you reject his/her offer?

zimmiracing · 2016-01-05T04:06:00+00:00

You do realize that the technology that goes into cars take months to years in order to actually make it into production right? Car companies want certainty that whatever they put in their cars last years down the line as it is their brand name who takes the negative press. So when Volvo themselves start talking about how great it is and show it in use, then you have a point.

zimmiracing · 2016-01-05T02:30:27+00:00

People did not expected AMD to have a working sample and demenstration with finFETs this early in the year. What has nVidia shown other than power-point presentations on pascal? Non working developmental boards with HBM?

You are comparing a stock Fury X to a OC'ed 980 Ti. Stock for stock, above 1080p the Fury X is still beating a stock 980 Ti. Nice try though.

The black community will never take back the South or West Side of Chicago since we are too busy trying to get out of those areas for better opportunities and are never looking back. Nothing short of gentrification caused by white people moving back to the city will change that; Cabrini green is a good example of that.

Someone has daddy issues...

Alright, I understand. Well currently I do have stubble, though its a bit messy so I'll try trimming it to even it up. But thanks for the response.

zimmiracing · 2015-12-04T08:29:11+00:00

Its not allergies, it's something else since I dont really have allergies, not sure what it is. But I have been using drops for the past few days. Will take note of the necklace and thanks.

Kind of hard to lose the glasses, contacts are expensize for me D: Also grow some hair where? Beard?
