How many threads does that Xeon have?  

 

Mine? it's a quadcore- 8 threads in total.

I hope they can make DX12 available for W7 64 Ultimate:-)

I need dx12, but do I need Windows 10 , nope not really:-)

I watched the press conference and the big deal was them talking about how there will eventually be crossplay between PC and Xbox One.  Streaming Xbox games through their Azure network, blah blah.. That's when I stopped watching it.

Console players would be dead in a second in a FPS vs a PC user :-)

Holy ****:

 

It's an interesting design, but I never liked Alienware. It's still very sick in terms of power and the whole setup is awesome...I'd probably still get a normal case lol.

 

 

PS: Haha, he makes several mistakes. Mixes up giga- and terybytes, says the two GTX 980s are 8gb vram each...he's not a true pc player our Angry Joe.

The mouse is more precise than a controler:-)

I do not like yhe case also, but AW makes wicked gaming laptops :-)

I ask, because it's a pretty good way to build a makeshift gaming pc.  

 

you get one of these, and then drop a good video card in it.

@GODzilla  I'm not a fan of Alienware. I do like the custom jobs like what they did with the Alpha but their standard stuff is just way too overpriced for what they are.   Better off with a boutique builder if you can't build your own.  Their laptops are ugly too.  I guess that's one of their new designs..

I love AW laptops :-)

They are made for gaming for 7 hours then your battery is dead :-)

Wow, AngryJoe spent $4200 on that Area 51.

I've nothing specifically relevant to add to the "who has the bigger epeen" discussion in hardware, however, I daresay that I'm running a quad-core gen 1 Xeon (that's actually about 4 years old now) and Radeon R7 260 2 GB card and have had no issues with performance in practically any game. I also run a Dell 30" (2560x1600) and an Acer 22" (1920x1080) either or at times, depending on what I'd like to see in resolution/details/performance.

 

When I previously ran Nvidia and AMD processor chipsets, I had a slew of problems with overheating, just general abnormalities with graphics tearing, etc. I quickly learned the major differences in that Intel chipsets usually run a lot cooler by default, and safer in ROI. I've also seen that NVidia tends to run their graphics in an "emulated" state with games- fullscreen windowed that makes it look like it's actually running fullscreen, as opposed to actually running hardware fullscreen (buffered, etc.) which makes them overall slower on average. (many years observing this)

 

Not sure what the actual mechanical differences are- as I'm not a hardware driver programmer- but observing the actual differences in terms of efficiency has led me personally to favor ATI chipsets for graphics and Intel for processors. Sure this also means running at whatever the hardware is "locked" at, but it also means my hardware will last longer and I'll be replacing less of it over time.

To all on this thread : you guys are huge, I mean, you know, like, BIG. And I'm sure you only touched the tip of the subject.

 

I mean, I'm usually a bit cocky, sure, but I just feel so small seeing such elephantine expertise. I'd like to participate, but I'll probably get shafted.

Glad to see so many of you rising to the occasion.

So anyone in a hurry for W10?

have to admit I'm curious about DX12 on the fence about Windows 10 depends how much its like W8 :-)

[MatrixGirl]

Ashen Nedra

Yes too much text talk going on :-)

It started as a place who complained about DAI , but it turned into friendships:-)

Take the metro interface and slap it into the start menu.  Windows 10 for you right there.  

[MatrixGirl]

DisturbedJim

Ditto , I would rather stay in W7 64 bit ultimate than be forced to upgrade:-)

Just as I have W7 fined tuned :-)

[MatrixGirl]

W10 looks like Mac osx :-)

[Peregrinus]

I just configured that Area 51 in a custom configurator and it comes up to 3280 dollars.. Dell makes quite the profit on that box. 

[MatrixGirl]

Lol

Dell has ASUS building their rigs now :-)

[MatrixGirl]

Peregrinus

All Dell rigs are made by ASUS, Dell is now a call centre:-)

[MatrixGirl]

Sorry but sh** happens ,and ASUS is a wicked company

[Peregrinus]

Asus makes some of the Dell laptops.  Where did you see that they make Alienware desktops? 

[MatrixGirl]

Peregrinus

Dell is basically ASUS building their stuff :-)
