Yes, not included yet.

Imagine you have a 720p screen and a 1080p screen on 7" tablet, you will notice the display and text are much sharper on the 1080p screen thanks to its higher ppi (pixel per inch). This applies to PC monitor resolution as well, higher resolution will bring more details (pixel counts are higher), thus creating a sharper display.

GTX1060 6GB is best fit for 1080p, I wouldn't call it overkill unless you aren't planning to run games at maximum settings (or 80% max etc.)

to bad, i just thinking want to invest leftover money from downgrade GTX 1080 to 1070.. into M.2 SSD

So better just stay with my Samsung Evo SSD will do right brother ??

Yes just stick with SATA based SSD (like 850 EVO) will do unless you have extra budget floating around and don't be fooled by "M.2 SSD" term, there is also M.2 SSD using legacy SATA like Samsung 850 EVO M.2 and its price is almost similar to the normal 2.5" SSD (speed also same, just form factor is different).

So the 850 evo m.2 speed performance same like Sata SSD 850 evo ??

Just now you say if i doing heavy transfer 950 m.2 will be good for me right ??
How about 850 evo and 950 m.2 performance in game ?? around same ??

Speed wise is almost identical as they are using SATA 3 and is being limited by the speed of SATA 3, unless clearance is an issue, I don't see any reason to pick the M.2 over the 2.5".

If you transfer data between two 950 Pro then you will benefit from the speedy I/O specs (provided you aren't being bottlenecked by other I/O like RAM and system cache size), if you transfer from (or to) 950 Pro to 850 Evo (example), then you will experience slightly faster transfer speed in the first few seconds (thanks to system cache), then eventually it will drop to SATA 3 speed as the 850 Evo couldn't catch up the speed of 950 Pro and 950 Pro will have to wait for the data to finish copy to 850 Evo first before continue.

And for the performance in games, well it depends on the file block design of the game files, if they are broken into small pieces then the one with higher sequential 4K read will win the competition, and no doubt 950 Pro will win it in this comparison, same goes to all the other categories, but the problem is "is it worth the extra money for a shorter loading time (for like few seconds only?)?"

haha xD brother. Everytime I ask your advise, u always make me change my mind ....

like last time regarding gtx 1080 ... and now i downgrade gtx 1070
and now m.2 .. now u make me feel rather i stay at my SSD 850 evo for now .. xD

I think what u say .. make sense also.. if i spend to much.. but i never use my component very well.. that consider waste.

I am just telling the truth, price/performance ratio is always my top priority

Well I have 950 Pro 512G model, bought it last time during a sales, yes it is fast, but how much faster than a SATA 3 SSD? Hmm, for my usage (normal browsing, gaming etc), just few seconds. My desktop boots up just few seconds faster than my laptop with SATA SSD, not really worth my money if you ask me (but it's fine since I bought it at a low price)

what about the recent
Intel SSD 600p NVMe M.2
RM453
http://www.lelong.com.my/intel-ssd-600p-nv...7-01-Sale-I.htm

Price very similar to the 850 evo.
surely the intel has better performance vs 850evo?

Hi can recommend me any build with the price range from RM1.5k to RM1.8k.
Not following hardware stuff for a while now. I'm helping friend to build rig for his family use.
Usage mostly for internet browsing, youtube, watching movies etc. No gaming.
So the price doesn't need to include the GPU.
I wonder if it can fit i5 skylake with SSD, 1tb HDD & min 8gb Ram.
And do suggest shop that provides best value price with fair service in Klang Valley. Thanks

Due to budget constraint, will there any bottleneck if pair i5 6600 @ stock cooler with GTX 1070?

Thanks.

Hi, I would like to seek some help here.

I required to upgrade the hard disk, mobo, graphic card, psu and rams.

Kindly advise a build with a budget of MYR1,500.00 max.

Just recreational gaming time with games like CS:GO, DotA and planning to get Battlefield 1.

Current casing is CM690.

Many thanks in advance!

Sequential read -> yes

Sequential write -> almost identical to SATA 3 speed

4K random read/write (small block of files) -> yes but only for high end 512G & 1T model

600P is an entry level NVMe PCIe SSD, it is not as fast as 950 Pro but it is a good step for other SSD vendors to start chopping down the price of NVMe PCIe SSD by following the step taken by Intel.

Intel Core i3 6100 - RM 520
Asus H110M-K - RM 253
Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 229
Kingston SSDNow UV400 120GB SSD - RM 203
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD - RM 219
CM Elite Power 350W - RM 126
Tecware F3 - RM 125

Total: RM 1675 (ETech price inclusive of GST)

i3 is sufficient, if you really need i5 then you might need to drop the SSD as the cheapest i5 costs RM 750+.

In some games, yes, but not all, those CPU demanding games will show CPU bottleneck symptoms.

You want to upgrade "hard disk, mobo, graphic card, psu and rams", how about processor (since you only mentioned to re-use current casing)?

Thanks for the info.

Hi taikor,

can you guys recommend me a gaming rig, budget around RM3000+
minimum requirement must be GTX 1060 and above...

so smaller screen need stronger gpu due to higher ppi?

will i5 6500 be the bottleneck to the gpu?

Hi I currently owned a Radeon 7950 (its an old card I know) and I wanted to upgrade to a card that is capable of running 2016 games at say, 1080p with medium settings. I found 1050 Ti but when I did some comparison it doesn't really outperform 7950 by a huge margin, so therefore my question is can anyone recommend a "bang for the buck" worthy upgrade to my old 7950?

Hi i want to build a pc the thing is im in limbang. Anyone know a company that ships to limbang? Or miri?

You should be looking for a 1060 and thats a upgrade

Say a Sony phone has a 5 inch screen size diagonally, and it's 1920x1080 (1080p, FHD). It packs 400ppi within the 5 inch screen. Then Sony releases another phone, now at 5.5 inch screen, also 1080p, now that this phone will have only 300 ppi because the screen size is enlarged but still packing the same amount of pixel density as the 5 inches screen, making the pixel per inch to be not as many as the 5 inches one.

GPU does not render depends on ppi...it renders at resolution, like FHD, 2K, 4K and such. Say at 1080p, GPU only needs to render 1920x1080 pixels, however at 1440p (2K), the GPU needs to render an extra amount of pixels (2560x1440) hence taking more works. Hopefully this clears your confusion
