What do you think will be the capabilities of Vega mining? I kind of hoping its sucks at mining so we dont have to suffer like this if we need one for gaming lol!

Anyone building a Ryzen PC? I'm thinking of it actually. Have not used AMD since I built an Athlon 64 17 years ago.

Been thinking about it since before Ryzen, but I use my computer as a daily driver and tinkering with it comes second.
There are stilla fewissues with running ram at higher frequencies, but people get 2933, 3000, 3200 e.g. to run and get pretty decent clocks so it's not bad systems they have with 6/8 cores @3.8GHz++. I think many of the issues are amplified in the enthusiast circles.

I might as well just wait a little bit longer for Threadripper/Ryzen 2 etc., although that really depends on what kind of workloads we'll be doing at my graduate program.

Anyone else just want to keep buying monitors even though you have enough?

Anytime I see a good price I have to practice so much restraint not to grab them all..

RAM speed is inconsequential; and 98% won't need more than 8 including for gaming. On the other hand, if you're a diehard multitasker (and have stuff running in the background) then 16 should suffice. Anything beyond that is just bragging rights. Buy more ram if you have everything you need, money to spare and nothing better to do.

Actually, the display is probably the single greatest advancing peripheral on a computer. Something bigger and better, new and improved is always there and waiting for someone that has and wants to spend the money. After all, what serious gamer would turn down a trio of new curved 144 hz slim bezel G-sync panels?

RAM speed is extremely important for Ryzen. The Infinity fabric speed which is the interconnection between the core complexes (one CPU is 2 CCX (core complex) in the Ryzen R5/R7 series) is dependent on your RAM speed.
The faster your ram the faster the communication between the two CCXs are. Thus your CPU is faster as a whole as the RAM speed increases.

Performance wise this is notable on Ryzen, although after 3000 the difference is less than going from 2133 to 3000 (in MHz).

Budget, and purpose of SSD (like, do you want to install Windows on it, or just programs/games)? What type of RAM does your system use/need (DDR3, DDR4, etc)?

Also, strong user join date to post ratio.

Yes. How much it actually does I don't know, but speed test shows the same speeds plugged directly to router, or into the powerline which is then into the router.

Yeah yeah I know it's VCZ but come on.
The pro series is for the prosumers aka businesses. Rumors of locked multiplier and all features associated with business grade hardware.
Probably not worth the extra cost.

The Viewsonic is $100 cheaper in aus, but the acer doesn't have that ugly green all over it. Anyone here either of these? What's your experience been like?

Nah, not at all. It was the guy who posted a pic of his car after it rammed a kangaroo and then some dude who posted his ride as a attachment. That was June 2nd, I think. No posts since then. I wanted to post something else the other day but I didn't want to be all alone. lol
Lmao! This is actually what I've been thinking everytime I wanna post/say something since you accused me of killing the thread. So everytime, I just decided not to lol!

But I haven't seen the kangaroo thing so might check it later.

if you are a true gamer, you need a monitor with 1 ms response time. both of those have 4 ms. unacceptable.

so, you would want something like this:
