The one good thing that could come of this is Trump is in favor of single payer healthcare. Which is what Obamacare would have been, most likely, if he hadn't been c-blocked at every turn.

I would probably go R460, you may still want to bench them but I'd be willing to bet it is faster than the 480, that is a few generations back now. And 250w holy moly you can heat your room with that practically.

I'm not sure a straight popular vote is what we need either. Why not a parliamentary system, so we don't have this absurd 2 party winner-take-all nonsense every 4 years, or if that isn't a viable/good option (maybe someone from UK can chime in how they feel about their system) then why not take the …

No not both installed, Rx 460 is an rma on a card a friend bought that was doa and he didn't want to mess with it so he gave it to me and I'm rmaing it. When it returns I'll have an rx 460 and a gtx 480 to choose from. I play games, civ 5, beyond earth, company of heroes nd counter strike source. …

Apologies if I shouldn't have started this thread, but I felt this situation merited comment. I don't have any desire to harangue anyone about their vote, everyone had their reasons for voting however they did. Our political process is fundamentally flawed. If you feel this thread will be better off …

What, so both cards in the same system? Asynch GPU compute? I don't know how well that will work, but you can try it. I'm really looking at an RX 480 but have heard rumors about a 490 coming out before the end of the year...but I don't think I can hold off much longer.

I'm hoping for star trek. People live each of their lives to their fullest and as they see fit. More likely, we will start kill each other. :P Bernie might have been the first step down the path to the Star Trek future, or at least a more moderate one. We are full-on Hunger Games now. I know one …

The thing that worries me most about him is his trade policy; I'm a big free trade guy and I think if he wants to bring businesses back to America he should get them to come back of their own volition with lower taxes and decreased regulation rather than simply forcing them back with 35% tariffs …

As an American, I feel the need to explain to the rest of the world. This is my point of view, but I feel it is a very common one. Trump won as symptom of systemic corruption. The majority of people only real reason to vote for him was to tear the system down. That was my reason. I watched one …

Trump having his hands on the nuclear football terrifies me. But hey maybe he really does love his country and wants to make things …

Is that even retro? That's just... obsolete. That system is in a weird spot. Too new to be a retro system, too old to be much use for modern stuff. I've hung onto it as long as I have because it was the first proper workstation board I bought myself, and it was the first PC I bought after losing …

I may just stick with the Quad AMD apu and see if I can disable 2 of the cores either in the BIOS or in a virtualbox vm so I don't have to worry about the game engine freaking out about more than 2 cores. That way I have access to my old 8800 GT PCIe card and don't have to fark around with AGP cards …

I'm thinking about ordering the parts for making one of these, I figure with a LPT cable and enclosure plus all resistors and misc bits the parts list will come in at around $30 US. If that seems like a lot, I would be ordering enough resistors to make a couple of these. What wattage should the …

Hmm Davinci Resolve supports Open CL as well as Adobe Creative Suite....may go with team red. Figure there is any benefit to SLI with the R480? Will I need a nuclear power plant onsite and LN2 for cooling? 😁

Reviews I have read suggest that the R480x is good for 1080p/1440p gaming and middle of the road VR, 1060 is supposed to be about the same but might edge ahead slightly at 1440p. AMD does better with DX12 and Vulcan. Power consumption on 1060 is much better, and shorty/mini itx friendly cards are …
