Can't disagree with this list. Saw ABit (RIP one of the best motherboard makers of all time) and Asus Rampage so I am content. But man, 440BX was a BEAST chipset.

This is why I don't shop at NE anymore. They're pretty much my last resort in ordering hardware because: 1) taxes 2) obvious markups 3) customer service Unfortunately, they're one of the few retailers carrying G-SKILL but the sticks I want are sold out so I'm going to order internationally.

My card arrived today, I'll be testing it this weekend after work so I'll keep everyone posted here.

Source? I don't think Intel ever wanted to buy Nvidia. AMD definitely did though and JHH was open to that since he worked for AMD for a few years.

I don't know, I think Nvidia would control more than 80% of the market if they supported Freesync. No one would be choosing AMD for gaming at that point. Also, due to the poor release of Vega, a majority of people bought Nvidia cards to use on their Freesync monitors. I actually would've done...

Does anyone here have a Vega FE + 10-bit monitor? Can someone please test if you have access to 10-bit OpenGL color buffers in Adobe suite? I thought it did so I pre-ordered one from B&H but I'm hearing different feedback. Best case scenario would have been the Titan Xp since I also game on...

No, LG has one: http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-34UC89G-B-ultrawide-monitor but the resolution is garbage. A lot of G-sync monitors leave a lot to be considered to be honest. I faced too many QC issues with Acer and Asus. BenQ was the only good one for me. On the other hand, FreeSync support...

Actually no, I didn't try hard at all. I confused you for sprayingmango because I swear one of you had a huge boner for AMD's 7970, especially with Eyefinity... it wasn't you, obviously. I remember seeing your name back in the day in Beyond3D/Rage3D so it was simple enough. You used to argue...

Him and sprayingmango used to hate Nvidia but are now their best lovers. I wonder what happened...

A new challenger has entered the fray. Looks like the LG has been dethroned. Can't wait for Sony and Samsung to join the lineup.

Yeah, I'm going to have to disagree with him as well. People who usually dismiss plasmas have probably never seen a Kuro live. It says enough that people on numerous home theater forums like avsforum/highdefjunkies/flatpanelhd/etc. still haven't upgraded their plasmas to OLED because the...

The problem is that there are developers that can utilize advanced visual effects that do not punish older hardware. When taking this game into account, it seems like they were only catering to one GPU architecture while ignoring the rest.

You misunderstood his analogy entirely. So basically, if a card is two years old, you should upgrade. The fact that a GTX 960 is beating a GK110 chip (GTX 780/780Ti/Titan/Titan Black) is not out of the norm. Gotcha.

You know a company's marketing is doing it perfectly when their customers think it's normal that a current mid-range card (~$200) is beating a flagship (~$650, before the 290/290X-induced price cuts, ~$499 after) from their last generation of products. :( Edit: Nm, the GTX 960 is priced even...

Says the guy that couldn't fix his display connection problems with a 290X. I'm glad you're switching to insults now, you fit right in.
