[QUOTE=kaukassus;50628113]This one starts from 0, but also takes up way more space and the whole thing looks a lot more cluttered. 80% of that chart is just a waste of space.[/QUOTE] Space spent improving readability, is never wasted.
I'd argue that a 1060 for all we know could be out of the budget of most the potential RX 480 userbase making the comparison meaningless.
Considering how the 1070 is roughly half or 2/3rds of the price of the 1080, I wouldn't be surprised if the 1060 was roughly half the price of the 1070, which would put it around the RX 480's price point. I find it hard to imagine they'd try so hard to make the comparison if it was significantly more expensive than it.
Honestly if they're only claiming an 15% improvement over the RX 480, i am expecting it to be slower/comparable in the independent benchmarks.

At launch the 980 was $550 to the 970's $330 and the 960 still came in at $200. Looks like they've bumped the prices $50 this gen so a $250 base model 1060 is a very real possibility.
Big Clive took apart one of those USB light leads I posted about some time ago. [video=youtube;am5aHDytIuc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am5aHDytIuc[/video] Nice to know they won't break my phone but I don't think he expects them to last for a long time.
So.. Is it possible to somehow undo a non-quick format..? I wanted to try format some Windows USB sticks I got from work and being careless I pressed format on my 2tb external hdd full of 8 years of content and its gone. I googled quickly and found some programs but I have no idea if they work.
[QUOTE=Starship;50634677]So.. Is it possible to somehow undo a non-quick format..?[/QUOTE] If took it's time to format (say, over 5 mins) then you are most likely out of luck. If not, then [URL="http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec"]PhotoRec[/URL] may help

If it really is that much faster (waiting for independent research of course, but) I would happily pay an extra $50 if I was deciding between the two.

ASUS quality control at it again. I installed GPU Tweak II for new graphics card. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/RR6K0kf.png[/IMG] This is how it shows up in Task Manager.
I'm kinda disappointed with the RX 480 - but really, is there much to complain about other than the power efficiency? And the latter is kinda pointless, as 150W is pretty reasonable regardless of the fact that more power efficient cards exist; really, it's more of a sad data point about what AMD's higher end cards might look like. About efficiency, semiaccurate ran some tests with power tune, and it seems like it's most efficient at -20% (95% of full performance); really seems kinda weird to me that AMD wanted to eek out those last 5%, because those 20% would at least have it beat the 970 consistently in perf/watt (though obviously perf/$ would take a hit) for some good PR, and made it acoustically nicer to have in your case - and board partners (and users) would be free to overclock it. Right now we have a story about a card with mediocre efficiency, kinda "ehh" overclocking and great value, whereas we could've have had the story about a card with pretty good efficiency, pretty good overclocking, and still the best value in town. To me it would seem that the latter is the better story. This is of course assuming that SA's tests were worth shit.
Im glad that this thread brings up such great cases like where 4 people streaming pandora brings down a company internet connection.

I wonder if video editing off an SSD would make things faster than an external hard drive connected via USB 3.
[QUOTE=garychencool;50640570]I wonder if video editing off an SSD would make things faster than an external hard drive connected via USB 3.[/QUOTE] If it doesn't load "compressed" previews into ram, but load it all directly from the drive then the answer is painfully obvious.
Is there software that can take an HDMI output on GPU/MB/USB and make it to an input? I had some kid come in work today swear to me that his dad who has a masters in communications say that you can make an HDMI output turn in to an input. I swear you needed to use a TV tuner or a capture card to do so.

[QUOTE=helifreak;50641267]The capture card has it's own input it uses. The kid is an idiot and his father's certifications are questionable.[/QUOTE] That's exactly what I told him. I run capture cards myself and I'm a computer technician yet me, the retail worker, apparently doesn't know what he is talking about.
There are however some boards that support HDMI input.

"I get my music from the wall man, plug in some headphones!" [editline]3rd July 2016[/editline] now i want a "sound card over power line" hookup
[QUOTE=lavacano;50642449]"I get my music from the wall man, plug in some headphones!" [editline]3rd July 2016[/editline] now i want a "sound card over power line" hookup[/QUOTE] I mean, it's two wires. You could get stereo over it. I do wonder what the intended use case is for, though - sending audio over what's normally a power connector, or sending power over what's normally an audio connector. I had a cheap PDA thing years ago that used a 3.5mm-ish jack for charging, although it was stretched longer than normal audio connectors, and I think it was TRRS instead of TRS.
