huh, I didnt even realize netgear had a nighthawk modem range. I thought it was just a router range. thanks! I learned something new!

Hey everyone, I have been away for a while but I have a question I think you might be able to answer for me. Context: We recently upgraded our network at work from HP/Aruba to Cisco switches and AP's. Management told us to "recycle ;)" the old ones. yes, that was in the quote. so, I now own...

Asus dark hero is out of my price range.

But not AVX2. It came out in 2013 and is what would be implemented. I've seen games requiring has well or later.

More and more modern games are requiring AVX instructions so it will make a difference as some games won't even be playable in the future. Especially with the launch of a new console generation where they are going to eek out every fps they can by using those instructions.

Hey all, Currently running an x58 system with a 970 gpu and x5660 processor. I'm wanting to finally update my core system. I have a budget of around $700 for cpu, ram and mobo. I'll be keeping current storage(1tb sata SSD, 2tb 3.5" drive), PSU (seasonic X750) and my EVGA nvidia 970 SSC for...

I have the parts from my first build but my Mobo is shot ( blown caps) and the company is now defunct (Abit). that was a great board though. IC7-G Max2 Advance. originlly I had it in a Thermaltake Xaser 3 in blue which was a beast of a case, swapped it later with an Antec superlanboy.

Thanks, but that would keep me at 12 gb. I only have 3 slots working so I would need 3x8 to go up. 3x4 is just 12gigs and I have 12gb 1866 now. I will add that since I'm running a Xeon, high speed ECC memory will work too.

Looking for 3x8 gig sticks to upgrade my aging X58 build. DDR31866 if possible but 1600 would work fine as well. I lost a memory slot so I went from 18 down to 12 and some games dont run well (or even at all, ashes of singularity, star citizen) anymore.

waiting for that 12 core 5Gz stock CPU at a reasonable price. Still running my 6 core, 12 thread aging 2.6Ghz X5660 Xeon. Double the Cores, Double the stock frequency. ( Yes, I know IPC improvements have left my baby in the dust) Should make for an upgrade I can "feel" when I finally get...

Still running this in my main rig (see sig). Purchased from hardocp's recommendation. I will really miss the power supply reviews. I always recommend seasonic in builds now (though most clients opt for something cheaper or more "gaming" related). My next build will probably have a seasonic...

They missed the boat on not branding the consumer version as Omen.

I don't think this is aimed at enthusiasts. At the same time, the quest is aimed for the mainstream. This "might" be an entry level enthusiast machine and if it goes down to $299 I would consider getting one. I had the DK2 and have used a vive but I currently don't have an HMD anymore (Dk2...

The only thing I am interested in regarding Ray tracing is when it is coming to VR. It will be a while at least but I would go for a dedicated ray tracing card if it was needed to implement in VR. The addition to immersion would be crazy!

wow, baby steps. they now have a base that can be used for ~75% of the experience of PC without the wires. The only things they have left is eye tracking and foveated rendering ( Which will reduce the graphical requirements). I mean, i am interested in this but i have a dk2, so this would be...
