    nVidia "x60" Graphics Cards: (weighted) Price-Performance Ratio 2010-2019

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 06:46 PM PST

    • only graphics cards in the price range of $199-249 evaluated
    • ratio of price to performance is weighted in favor of the performance: all price differences were only included at 50% into the calculation (because 10% more performance makes a bigger difference than a 10% higher price for these cards at almost the same price)
    • "Power Draw" is the real power draw of the card itself (no TDP), determined by measurements of 3-10 sources
    • "Price/Perf." means the prices-performance ratio for all these cards, normalized to the GeForce GTX 275 at 100%, the second number is the growth to the respective predecessor
    • "P/P per year" means the growth of the prices-performance ratio to the respective predecessor, but normalized to 365 days
    • no inflation was taken into account (sorry!)
    • all info in a diagram

    Fattydove Racing SSD. Don't laugh at me.

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 07:39 PM PST

    Sure, there have been jokes about these SSDs, but has anyone taken the plunge and spent their hard earned cash for one of these? Search didn't pull up any posts here, so the fact that I'm willing to entrust my data to a $20 SSD ... well hey, the boot drive on this computer is an OCZ purchased from a thrift store for 79 cents. I'm not afraid!

    Start TLC/MLC Fblock : 120

    DRAM Size,MB : 128

    DRAM Vendor : Hynix

    ​

    A $20 drive that still has DRAM?! Woohoo! I believe this beats out all of the other "cheapest of cheap" SSDs. The Samsung 32 layer 3D NAND is older tech, though.

    ​

    • ATTO Benchmark, queue depth 4: 485 MB/s read, 420 MB/s write. Probably not the best, but definitely not the worst, especially for a 120.

    ​

    • Crystal Disk Mark numbers puts it more about 510 MB/s read, 440 MB/s write.

    ​

    At this stage, I'll have to be leaving it to the resident SSD guru on reddit, u/NewMaxx, to put this into perspective how this compares to other drives.

    (OK, let the jokes resume now.)

    Just a compilation of the latest rumors. Nothing is set in stone right now, take it with a (good) grain of salt ...

     

    Chip Architecture Hardware Objective Release
    Navi 12 RDNA1 Navi 10 level, just with HBM2 interface Apple exclusive unknown
    Arcturus Vega 128 CU @ 4096 Bit HBM2 HPC & AI only (no 3D capabilities) probably spring 2020
    Navi 21 RDNA2 80 CU @ GDDR6 high-end gaming + ray-tracing probably summer/fall 2020
    Navi 22 RDNA2 unknown unknown unknown
    Navi 23 RDNA2 unknown alleged "nVidia Killer" unknown

     

    • AMD "Arcturus"
    • 7nm+ (EUV) manufacturing of TSMC
    • origin from the Vega architecture
    • purely for professional purposes (HPC & AI)
    • extensive removal of chip parts that are used purely for 3D graphics, no monitor outputs
    • probably 128 shader clusters (CU) with 8192 shader processors (SP) on a 4096 bit HBM2 memory interface
    • XL version with a slightly lower number of active hardware units, there should also be a XT version
    • chip clock approx. 1500-1600 MHz, memory clock according to BIOS specification 1000 MHz DDR
    • maximum computing power (for the full silicon): approx. 26 TFlops FP32, approx. 105 TOPs INT8
    • previously known product names: "Radeon Instinct MI100" (based on "Arcturus XL")
    • release probably spring 2020 (possible RRA certifications in February 2020)

     

    • AMD "Navi 21"
    • also known as "Big Navi"
    • 7nm+ (EUV) manufacturing of TSMC
    • RDNA2 architecture with ray-tracing in hardware
    • mainly for gaming purposes
    • probably 505mm² die-size, tape-out around October/November 2019
    • probably 80 shader clusters (CU) with 5120 shader processors (SP) on a GDDR6 memory interface
    • assumed performance potential is GeForce RTX 2080 Ti +10-20%
    • release probably summer/fall 2020, announcement maybe at Computex in June

    We Didn't Expect This - Corsair A500 Air Cooler Review

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 09:34 AM PST

    The Apple Pro XDR display panel it's made by LG Apple doesn't have thech and knowledge to make one.

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 09:48 PM PST

    Something that I I'm seeing on mostly places of internet it people saying that this monitor it's better than anyone made by Samsung and LG, it's impossible because Apple doesn't have technology and knowledge to make this panels they buy it to LG mount it in they chassis and resell it. If you open one of those monitors you are going to se LG brand everywhere.

    What hardware support does a motherboard need for S3 deep state wake up - besides the BIOS DSDT file

    Posted: 23 Feb 2020 04:30 AM PST

    So my Biostar H110MHC DOES NOT have an S3 state - bit of a shock to me. It has only ACPI: (supports S0 S4 S5) by default. Therefore by default s2ram just turns off the display and does nothing else.

    So I edited the DSDT and booted Linux with a modified DSDT/also checked for new BIOS updates etc.

    With S3 artificially 'enabled' via DSDT in linux I can power-off the fan/board using s2ram and then shorting the hard-reset turns it on, but it does not boot up - cpu fan spins but no display.

    Hence the Q: what other support from the mobo is needed in terms of specific ICs? What is the sequence of events in the CPU/mobo/PSU after you power on.. that allows boot from RAM (also what prevents RAM from being powered off)

    ​
