kemosabe Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 You heard right, the Haswell chipset may very well carry a DDR4 based controller although nothing is 100% concrete. damn the leaks and info, sometime too much of info is bad in decision making,since we always want to get the best bang for bucks and latest and greatest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 ^^ I agree man, sometimes excess information leads to confusion rather than improving the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK77 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Now waiting for Haswell, then wait for Broadwell 14nm manufacturing process, and so on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Now waiting for Haswell, then wait for Broadwell 14nm manufacturing process, and so on... If you can wait for all these years with a Core 2 Duo why not go for the latest and greatest? Broadwell will take at-least one more year from Haswell's outing so that is completely out of the equation, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK77 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 This is what I'm saying when haswell will be up for sale in stores and Intel will be start making broadwell chipsets(end of this year) then you'll think of those, so its never ending until you make a firm decision.

Intel has already taped out Broadwell chips if that is what you imply but the simple fact is that right now the OP has been waiting for an upgrade. Will it not be better to go for a new socket + RAM combo than something that has no future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemosabe Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 realworldtech.com has an excellent indepth article on Haswell. Haswell will take full advantage of 22nm architecture - which might lead to better overclocking performance. There are lots of new things (which most of them I did not understand well enough from the article) which enable developer to further take the better performance out of the hardware. The power efficiency will be coming from the UL edition processors which is the main feature of the overall architecture. Overall for gamer, there will be 5-10% increased performance on the current generation game -which may be more for future games if they somehow take the advantage of new feature sets. But if someone is on a i5 XXXX range of processor with a mainstream GPU, performance gains will be shown in benchmark only. It's like if your current rig is giving you a 60 fps and if the next rig give 95 fps, will you able to feel the difference while gaming ??

mango_man Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) NEED URGENT HELP!!! Does gigabyte B75 D3H motherboard support 1600 mhz DDR 3 ram? Internet & flipkart say yes it does BUT 2 shopkeepers told me it DOESNT support 1600 mhz ram. I'm paring it with i7 3770 + AMD 7950 GPU. The shopkeeper also told me that B75 motherboard will REDUCE THE PERFORMANCE of my processor GPU.. is all this true? Is there someone here who actually uses this motherboard & 1600 mhz ram?

It should support that fine. http://www.gigabyte.in/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4150#sp * To support DDR3 1600 MHz, you must install an Intel 22nm CPU.

Is there someone here who actually uses this motherboard & 1600 mhz ram? ^^ Yes, with Ivy-Bridge CPU's (Core i3 / i5 / i7 3***) the motherboard supports memory modules upto ~1600MHz, if it were a Sandy-Bridge processor (Core i3 / i5 / i7 2***) the motherboard would have limited your choice to ~1333MHz modules. This is because of Intel's XMP profiling for memory modules. Intel XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) explained The shopkeepers just want you to buy a more expensive motherboard along with all the components you are going for. Hope this answers your query, Cheerio!

ThE JuGgErNaUT Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Guys can someone tell me which video. Ard I should go for in a laptop. Radeon 7670m or 8730m? Reasons pls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALPHA17 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Guys can someone tell me which video. Ard I should go for in a laptop. Radeon 7670m or 8730m? Go for the AMD Radeon HD8730M the card is better than the HD7670M because -- New GCN Architecture vis-á-vis the older VLIW5 based HD7*** series card. Better power throttling Stronger COMPUTE performance Just make sure the HD8730M is not a rebadged HD7***M series GPU. For more, check here -- notebookcheck.net GPU review. Hope this helps, Cheerio!

VelivolusDas Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Disclaimer: I am a total PC-n00b.... Probably the BEST PC-n00b ever..... Don't ask me what graphics card I want or whether I prefer AMD or ATI or Tegra or whatever.... I don't know what all that means..... So, I'm planning to buy a new laptop..... I don't want a desktop as I need to carry my stuff most of the times.... Reason: My current one is so outdated, it can't run Autodesk 3ds Max properly.... And I need it for a gaming course that I'm doing.... And the course further has Autodesk Mudbox and Unity down the line and I don't want my laptop to blow..... Budget: Around 40k max.... When: Mostly at the start of the month of March.... And since, I'm taking the jump in the PC world with this, I was thinking why not go for a gaming laptop.... Yes, I still hate keyboard/mouse controls, but I guess, I'll probably get a controller and play games with it (possible, right?) My basic logic suggests that if I get a gaming laptop or something close to that, it would run the above mentioned softwares fine, right? Please correct me if I'm wrong.... Some window shopping I've done:- HP Pavilion G6-2313AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A10/ 6GB/ 1TB/ DOS/ 2.5GB Graph) - What's a DOS OS? Will I need to install Windows 7 (yes, that's what I'm looking for, unless you guys suggest that I should get Windows 8) separately? Will that be easy to do? HP Pavilion G6-2301AX Laptop (APU Quad Core A8/ 4GB/ 500GB/ Win8/ 2.5GB Graph) - Seems a tad lower in the configuration but it's got Windows 8 (I seriously don't know what that DOS thingy is and that's why I considered this). Also, what's a cooling pad that's part of a combo with this? Samsung NP350V5C-S02IN Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 1TB/ Win7 HP/ 2GB Graph) - Seemed decent when compared to the others. Thanks in advance.... If any other info is needed, please ask..... Alright, so I'm back..... Need some suggestions again... In my same budget mentioned above, what can I expect if I go for a PC (and not a laptop, anymore)? Performance wise, will it be better? Would I get more value for my money if I go for a PC? And the same question again, should I go and buy some branded PC directly, or should I get a machine built (assembled)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the same question again, should I go and buy some branded PC directly, or should I get a machine built (assembled)? Will you buy the whole RIG from scratch OR do you have any components (TV-monitor) that can be used with the RIG? The performance will be much better than a laptop for the same price-range. No, avoid pre-assembled machines best way to learn about PC's is to go down the D.i.Y. path, the added bonus of self assembly is a pleasure in itself. =] Shoot if you have any more queries.

VelivolusDas Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 The whole rig altogether.... I don't have any thing except a USB-mouse that I use with my current laptop.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemosabe Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Will post some specs Tom. Would appreciate people's input / vote on which of 2 laptops to go for. I have no hands on experience in laptop gpu but as I know Nvidia is better in that area due to the up to date driver - if you are looking for gaming experience.I am not sure if compute performance helped in gaming. If AMD has a different driver release for Fusion/APU based laptop line than I don't know. Check with other members/youtube etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
