    Diablo 3 Discussion Thread

    Never seen such nerdrage and whining about a video game since going on Blizzard WOW forums. Did not take off Tuesday anticipating the intermittent server down times. Even every major WOW patch has been intermittent/extended server down times. People still incessantly whining over no offline...

    Battlefield 3 General Discussion Thread

    How bit of a problem are the hackers? I want to buy the game but if it's going to be hard to find a server without hackers it's hard to justify.

    Upgrade advice - out of loop

    FYI, Just picked up the 3570K with P8Z77V-Pro at Microcenter in Orange County. Thought I'd swing by after work and one of the employees inform me they do have them in stock. He brings up the screen and they received 414 units today. I left around 4PM and the count was showing around 380 for the...

    I've never seen or checked out Microcenter before, Their 'Hot Deals' section has pretty awesome pricing. Yeah, a good simple featured motherboard with the best video card I can pick up should hold me over before gutting the computer for upgrades again for another 3 years.

    Thanks, 50FPS in ultra settings with no MSAA turned on is pretty good. 50 FPS in ultra with 2xAA would be awesome. Is the i5 2500k good enough in the CPU department?

    Upgrade advice - out of loop

    Few changes - I would like to run BF3 and other games listed before in 1920x1200 Max settings full AA/AF. No dual monitor. Gonna wait for Ivy bridge CPU/Mobo combo that is around i5 2500k price range. Will a GTX560Ti be enough to run games like BF3 in 1920x1200 max settings with constant 60...

    Upgrade advice - out of loop

    happyboy - Most likely I will upgrade the PSU when I pick up a second card for SLI. Since Ivy bridges will be released next week, I'll wait a little bit longer. :)

    So sounds like I should still wait for IB CPUs since they will cost about the same as SB. Probably won't be doing SLI/Crossfire anytime soon.

    I currently have a Corsair 520HX. Guessing it is not enough. happyboy - I'd rather spend less than have the very newest stuff. SB = the current sandy bridge?

    Upgrade advice - out of loop

    So my current video card is nearing end of its life and Diablo 3 demo will not run smoothly and looking to upgrade soon. Looking to upgrade CPU, GPU, RAM and motherboard. I mentioned $800 budget before but more cheaper around $500 would be better. Main use would be Diablo 3, Photoshop &...

    Upgrade advice - out of loop

    Hi thanks for pointing that out, looks like the timing is perfect. I prefer intel/nvidia combo. I'm currently running e6400 with ATI x1950xt. The only stock drivers I know that works with the ATI is the one on the disc. So driver support is important as well. The monitors: Dell UltraSharp...
