    Maybe part of the reason for that is that not enough people ask "wy u gained weigt dis monts bro? u need help wiv someting?" there because it is "exceptionally rude".

    Where I live (not US) it's more common to talk about health and weight and stuff with others. Not saying it's not annoying, but there is no "rudeness" attached.

    Michael taken by US average looks actually normal in that picture.
    Irrelevant as it was a relative comparison. There is a photo of him skinny, no facial hair and smiling at the end of each article, then he posts an article when he gained some weight, has (nice and cured) facial hair and looks tired, not happy.

    Asking if something is wrong does seem normal here.

    Opposite is true too, so when someone comes from redish country to greenish, do not ask why everybody buy small cars
    That's not rude, that's a stupid question. Most tourists have enough brain to understand that US cars cannot physically fit in most EU streets.

    Why is it rude?

    Also "american" is a bit rude to use outside US when you actually mean US only, there are other countries in America.

    Yeap, maximum allowed by the wiring, 75PCIe + 75 6 pin. just a little more and you start frying something. So it has to consume considerably less to have all peaks under 150...

    Map is actualy not for overweight but by obesity percentage, so only extra overweighted with BMI > 30... Here is a BMI graph, anyone can see where he is We can even ask here... let say, does really every third american reading this belongs to red column? If about 30 out of 100 are red that is about it

    The article has the Radeon parts using the OSS drivers... so its really hard to make any conclusions just yet, as the Nvidia parts are using their proprietary drivers... Once Michael posts the test results of the Radeon parts using the hybrid driver and/or posts the Nvidia cards running Noveau, we will have an apples to apples comparision.

    That graph is also an over-simplificaton, I remember when visiting in USA about 5 years ago, I noticed that some states people were much more likely to be overweight, and also in some cities. e.g. New York people looked pretty normal, whereas in Los Angeles I saw an incredible amount of large families.
    Also, here in Africa, the newly-prosperous class tends to be the ones that are overweight. And the new discovery of fast-food. We definitely ate more fast food when we were more stressed and had less time. Recently we have been making an effort to eat better, and take things slower (e.g. both our new jobs actually pay a little less, but is just around the corner from where we stay, so we have much more time available for cooking or playing with the kids)

    Regardless:
    Michael, how can we help you minimize stress? I had a horribly stressful life last year, it was likely the worst year of my life. I'm already a premium subscriber. What else can we do?

    Talking about weight i guess, overweight people is actualy common in US... it is among highest in the world, so Michael taken by US average looks actually normal in that picture. So if someone is from very greenish country and talk to someone from very redish, do not say that something is wrong, the best is i guess to learn to ignore it

    Opposite is true too, so when someone comes from redish country to greenish, do not ask why everybody buy small cars

    Hm, when i think of how much Turtle Interactive's F1 2015 is slower in benchmarks with AMD aka 1/3 perf of original Windows game, then my bets goes to hell Guessing that Nvidia is more efficient maybe as that runs a game at half speed

    I can't conclude nothing in that case, my IQ automaticaly goes to 1/3 turtle level too

    RX 460 has 75W TDP, but actually typicaly should use 45W, as it does not need an external power connector and if really use declared TDP of 75W it will turn off itself most the time ... Basicaly typical is at around 60%, i guess people's calculation coming from there. So if RX 480 is 150W TDP then 60% typical should be 90W

    I always forgot VRAM... as more VRAM models for sure asks for some watts more, but not sure how much
