I'd prefer ULMB over G-Sync, but from what I've seen those tend to come together. And 144 Hz, too. I haven't seen a 32" 1440p 144 Hz display with a VA panel(let alone IPS).

Ah yes, the inevitable "CRTs are still better" BS. Sorry, that ship has sailed a long time ago. Getting a X34 is unquestionably a better monitor than a fat, smallish and flat CRT which causes massive eyestrain. Let's put that pro-CRT BS to death. Come CES, I want to see a 1440p 32" VA...

Not sure if trolling? Three years ago, the high end single dGPU for NV was the 680 and for AMD it was the 7970. You take a look at the Fury X/980 Ti today and they are wiping the floor with the old cards. I'm honestly laughing at you.

The 960 2 GB VRAM was/is a terrible card. NV discontinuing it is a show that it understands that. As for drivers, I have a 980 now which has significant issues with drivers on G-sync. I didn't have a field day with AMD drivers, but the supposed "NV better drivers" meme is total BS.

Your opening statement is too broad. You have to be more specific about what kind of games you'll play, at what resolution and when you expect next upgrade. Also, what is the budget. Finally, ignore the NV trolls in this thread. The 960 2 GB VRAM was DOA, yet a bunch of people(including the...

Oh, it's not just SweC. TechReport shows similar differences: http://techreport.com/review/28751/intel-core-i7-6700k-skylake-processor-reviewed/8 It's more games than Civ, of course. So there does seem to be a divide. Sites that show some discrepancy vs sites that show little to none.

http://cdn.sweclockers.com/artikel/diagram/10350?key=0a416d7eb565e02c673d198a107ba606 Sweclockers' benchmark do show a difference. Certainly if you compare i7 Sandy to i7 Skylake. There was a substantial difference in Dragon Age: Inquisition, GTA V etc etc, as well. Also, look at i5...

Except that in many cases the increases have been half that. Skylake's main potential, aside from the token IPC gains, will be a lot of PCI-E lanes for all that SSD:age.

Totally bumping this. Has anyone bought any? Thoughts/feedback?

I'll borrow this thread for a while. I was wondering, I got a 24" 1080p monitor now. If I upgrade to a 27" 1440p, the ppi is around 19% higher (even if the pixelcount is 77%, once the area served is larger, the sharpness decreases). So would it be worth it? Anyone made the 24" 1080p to 27"...

Trusted Reviews had an input lag of 65 ms.

I have used all three OS's. I've used WP for about a year. I can tell you that every app you more or less need is there right now. Some custom apps are better than the standard apps. For example, TouchTube, a custom YouTube app, lets you download HD videos offline over Wifi and it keeps them...

You're not going to see cynicism from me. This is a great sign. It's the right form factor, resolution, everything. Yeah, it's not going to be available for consumers, but the fact that it is even being made in those areas is awesome. 4K monitors fell in price from 3000 dollars to 500...

Now more stores have it. Most have a late-march deadline. Inet are often quite optimistic about their delivery times. I've ordered one. I want a monitor with very low input lag and this will be a lot cheaper than the BenQ Freesync model. I'll see if I'm happy with it, the worst thing to happen...

So we're seeing OLED screens in a lot of tablets these days, not just Samsung. (Like Dell's recent Venue 8). Ditto in mobile phones, like Microsoft's L930. It's becomming more and more mainstream. Is it easier to blow up a small screen to a large one or a large one to a smaller one? (I'm...
