    Jdbye, Radeon VII has been out for a month. It is Navi that is not out yet. You can check out these benchmarks from Phoronix: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=radeon-vii-linux&num=1

    Yes, open source is one of the big reasons I support AMD. They opened up the Vulkan (formerly Mantle) API as well as FreeSync, and now they have moved to open source OpenGL, OpenCL, and Vulkan drivers. nVidia, on the other hand, goes with their proprietary G-sync, proprietary drivers...

    Jdbye, AMD is pretty imipressive at the high-end level now, too. The Radeon VII is a powerhouse of a card that will go toe-to-toe with the RTX 2080

    Supster, if I recall correctly, nVidia claimed it was impossible to support FreeSync on nVidia cards due to hardware limitations. And then the open-source driver team that receives practically no support from nVidia and has to reverse-engineer everything got freesync working in the nouveau...

    Paolosworld, one of the big things for AMD is really driver support. They revamped their driver stack a couple years ago, moving to an open source stack called AMDGPU. The open source stack has been undergoing a lot of development and improvements. I expect the driver to continue improving...

    Vega cards aren't bad so much as they aren't as they didn't live up to their potential. They were a step in the right direction, but perhaps not a big enough step. Had a gtx 970 not fallen into my lap a couple years ago, I likely would've gotten a RX 580 as a great bang-for-your-buck option...

    I'm a big fan of what AMD has done lately. I will echo Memoir, though, and say hold off on getting a Vega card. Navi will be coming out later this year with a 7 nm process. Wait and see how the Navi release goes. If you can't wait, have you looked at the Vega 56? Most benchmarks I've seen...

    Men’s Group wins lawsuit. U.S. Women may be forced to be drafted to wars.

    They will be up in arms if there's a draft, if you know what I mean.

    Microsoft employees petition against Hololens contract with US Army

    Just because they're not writing letters about other things, doesn't mean they don't care. They aren't actively involved in those other things. Perhaps they turned down jobs that would involve those things and instead chose to work on consumer electronics rather than getting involved in...

    Men’s Group wins lawsuit. U.S. Women may be forced to be drafted to wars.

    For the record, there are incentives to serve, and there hasn't actually been a draft since the early seventies. Men just have to register for the draft in case they decide they need a draft.

    Can you back this up? Well I know who's opinions I do not need to see anymore. There was a documentary called The Red Pill that was shot by a feminist who decided to go into the world of Men's Rights Activists. She went into it expecting misogyny and the like, instead she came out of it with...

    Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime will be retiring later this year

    Don't you dare leave out Satoru Iwata. Make it a Quartet if you must. Regardless, RIP Yokoi and Iwata. You were both taken from this world too soon.

    Reggie no! Who else will get our bodies ready? Who will be our purple pikmin? Who will be our robotic informant? Don't go, Reggie. :(

    Pokemon: Let's Go demo now available on the eShop

    This statement makes no sense. Nintendo is chasing the mass market and in the process abandoning... the primary gaming market?

    Nintendo Direct confirmed for tomorrow, will feature Fire Emblem: Three Houses

    The entire series isn't that way. I haven't played the 3DS games where it sounded like they started going that way, but the Tellius duology (Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn) told a very good story full of three dimensional characters and covered complex themes. I'm holding my breath that a...

    What is actual your choice - Burger King or McDonalds ? (ONLY for Fast Food Fans)

    I haven't eaten at either in years. Pass. If you read the fine print, Burger King's veggie burgers do not claim to be vegetarian. At least the last I saw, which was quite some time ago. Maybe that's changed.
