I picked up the new Asus PB278Q AHVA version and it's the best 2560x1440 IPS Monitor that I've used. The AHVA IPS Technology is much better then my old LG and Samsung monitors. As the new PB278Q AHVA has no input lag and 5 ms response time. I don't see any ghosting and I can play CS:GO and this...

How so? Side by side and if you check out the reviews it is a great monitor. And it's even better once calibrated.

I've been looking into getting myself a good IPS monitor and it was between the "New" Asus PB278Q with the new AHVA panel, or the new BenQ AH-IPS monitor. After checking them out at a retail store. I found the difference to be very small in terms of Panel AG coating and after reading some...

I will say, When I went from my Dual Core to my Quad Core, I did notice a difference. Biggest difference I noticed was much less fps drops and depending on the game a much better avg fps. I am also looking into a video card upgrade as I am running a 4870 1GB right now and have had it for a...

With this card you will not be CPU bound at all, if you really want the most out of it.. once you start going much past 1920x1080 you will not see a difference from a C2D to a Core i5 or i7.. imo, well alot of people know this.. It is not worth getting a Core i5 or i7 for you gaming PC if you...

The 4 best cards I have owned, my X700 Pro was my first gaming video card.. then I went to the X1800XT it was awesome.. Then the 8800GTS 640MB when it came out.. and Right now the best card I have owned is my ATI 4870 1GB it runs all the games I play at highest settings.. I got into BF:BC2 and I...

Yeah it seems all Monitors are now 23" rather then 24" and they are all 1920x1080... but like I said I like this monitor for gaming but I cant handle the fact it does not lift up I had to buy this stupid 30 doller stand for it and I have this awesome monitor sitting right next to me that will...

My, LG 24" just died on me when installing Win7, well a sound driver for it.. I came back I guess the PC went into sleep mode and now the monitor will not even power on.. so long story short.. I went to best buy and got me the Samsung XL2370. Its a 23" 1920x1080.. and I must say the Color is...

Go with a Q9550 OC to 3.4Ghz you will be set for years with that.. for gaming the i7 is not any better then a C2Q.. For Video go with a HD 4870 1GB, they are in the relm of the GTX 275 in some games even closer to the GTX 280.. I just did a system rebuild.. I lost my PSU,Mobo and Ram in a...

If you are using the system for gaming.. you will not noitce a difference, going from a newer Quad core.. even the Q6600, there is not a difference when running the same clock.. I have a few friends that went from Quad cores to the i7 and they are pretty pissed right now, lol.. but yeah Im...

It really, seem's like more people are going back to ATI.. I mean I always went with ATI untill they had there 2XXX,3XXX flop... my fist video card was a X700 Pro did a small upgrade to a X800XL then I went with the X1800XT.. once the Nvidia 8XXX cards cards came out and I seen how good the 8800...

a Core 2 Quad will run any game just as good or better then a i7.. so much people forget it is the GPU that is most needed to run a game good, yes if you have a slow CPU it will bottleneck but, right now any C2Q at 3GHz or higher will do the job even in SLI at max res.. I was going to go with...

this is why, I am not to happy with intel right now.. The C2Q is still there best CPU to date.. So much people went from a Core 2 Quad to the i7 and gained so much as nothing... I am going to upgrade to a Q9550 in a few week's just cuz I have had this C2D for such a long time and the fact that...

lol, The i7 is really not worth it for a gamer at all.. a Core 2 Quad is a much better choice. believe me, I have friends that went from Core 2 Quad's to i7's and they are not happy with it at all.. do the research your self.. C2Q is the way to go.. unless you are building up a whole now rig...

I went from a 8800 GTS 640 to a HD 4870 1GB and I noticed a Huge difference.. like in COD4, I can run 4X aa everything maxxed highest settings when befor I had to turn alot of the nice stuff off.. Much smoother game play.. Crysis a Huge difference, I can play it at native res 1920X1200...
