And I'm impressed by the 980m benchmarks on Videocardz. Too bad gaymen laptops will never be good unless they were affordable with good battery life and better heat dissipation.
Most of the performance increases with the new series are going to be in the mobile chipsets, it seems like they really focused on getting power consumption down.
Probably so that the next series doesn't burn people's houses down.
[QUOTE=Del91;45917206]Think of them like the turbo version of the card[/QUOTE]
More like someone machined the cylinders to be larger.
The exhaust of the GPU isn't used in any way to make the card run quicker, so it's not even close to a turbo.
Did you know today is a good day to be pedantic?
[QUOTE=thrawn2787;45916462]did nvidia skip the 8xx series for desktop cards? are we just on to 900 series?
WHY???[/QUOTE]
They did it because the current mobile 800 chips are Kepler architecture. They didn't want to fuck the naming by trying to differentiate between new 800 with maxwell and current with Kepler, so they're putting them as 900 series. Since the desktop models are coming out at the same time as the mobile 900, they decided it would make more sense to have them as 900 too
So a tiny moth/fly landed on my screen, obviously attracted to the light. So I opened ms paint, made it all black, then drew white tracks for it to follow about on (which it duly did):

Oh, so *now* Nvidia gives a shit about not mixing architectures? They had Maxwell, Kepler and even Fermi in the 700 series, and I doubt they'll completely phase out Kepler in 900.

[URL="http://pcpartpicker.com/p/P78JBm"]This[/URL] is the one I planned last night. The list is missing a lot of the little things like fittings, fans, acrylic tubing etc. It'd be a blue theme over a lot of the red ones lately. Trace some of the PCB paths near the CPU with a blue UV pen, repaint the case with a matte blue and black, resleeve the PSU etc. Would be a very clean build with only mobo, RAM, CPU, GPU, slim 240mm rad, and tubing in the windowed chamber.

The bigger problem is that they'd have say an 860m Kepler and 860m Maxwell.
I guess I may have been wrong about the 980 not being faster than the 780ti

That's a mildly strange planned computer unless it's meant for very heavy CPU work.
[QUOTE=Angus725;45919848]That's a mildly strange planned computer unless it's meant for very heavy CPU work.[/QUOTE]
Eh, I was sticking to an imaginary budget, and wanted it to be x99. I usually prioritize the CPU in builds because odds are you're going to upgrade the GPU 3+ times before the CPU

That may be because of a click bait article that blatantly stripped the context of a quote to make it seem like it. The quote was actually referring to the 980 costing less than a 780ti
Not to mention that the 980 was just clocked a little bit higher than normal .

The other day I chased a fly with my mouse cursor. You have to move it a bit slowly or else it doesn't perceive it moving I guess.
What, my Internet just died so I went to look at the statistics of my dorm's network. There's a huge spike in outgoing traffic.
Just threw my old laptop HDD into the T420, started it up and booted that laptop's Fedora partition... it worked great, and holy shit ThinkPads are amazing Linux machines.
Just cleaned my screen. Holy shit, IPS is purdy.
Is it just me or does accessing most major websites seem slow lately? [URL]http://www.digitalattackmap.com/[/URL] shows a shit-ton going on, but no one else is complaining so I don't even know what's going on.
Well the AGP slot is more recent than PCI for video cards. Makes sense.

PCI is definitely not something I'd use for a graphics card and AGP is definitely newer and more advanced. You should have selected PCI and ISA according to your thinking.

PCI is definitely last resort. An 8400GS is considered fairly "high end" for a PCI GPU. I think its actually bottlenecked by the bus. :v:

I haven't seen an AGP card since the 4670 from ATI(before they got rebranded and bought out)

You do realize PCI is far older than AGP, AGP was made specifically for video cards, it's just still around to keep old expansion cards working. Hard to kill etc.
You guys are pretty creative, I have a question.
Since I had to buy two remote car starters since the first one was a dud, I now have four remotes. There's no way in hell that I need four remotes. Though for shits and giggles, I'm thinking of modding one of the remotes into something hilarious / nifty. Like a magic wand that starts the car when I flick it or some shit.

As SEK said, AGP is newer as a video interface. Since AGP was purely for video it got completely eclipsed by PCIe, so PCI's utility caused it to be kept as the standard legacy slot.
[QUOTE=Levelog;45921536]Well the AGP slot is more recent than PCI for video cards. Makes sense.[/QUOTE]
Nvidia still makes PCI cards - the most recent was the GeForce 630. They're aimed at business multi-display desktops - upgrading old desktops to have multiple displays. You couldn't have multiple AGP cards, so you used PCI.
So you can buy a last-gen video card using PCI or PCIe. I'd say that qualifies as "modern".
The slot is old and outdated. Pure legacy.

It really just depends on what your logical process is. Being an educational situation as Tony was in, it's going to be purely on dated facts, not real world practices. I can see where you're coming from, but AGP is technically a more "modern" slot.
