    MSI Ventus and Gaming X Slim thoughts?

    Just an update now that I got my MSI 4070 Super Gaming X Slim for a few days. Here are my notes so far: - Card runs very quiet and cool when testing with 3DMark's Speedway and Unigine's Superposition benchmarks. - My GPU load was around 98-99% average during those so I assume my CPU isn't...

    MSI Ventus and Gaming X Slim thoughts?

    Thanks guys for the input, for coil whine searching around most people seem to agree it's a luck thing that could affect any brand and might have to do with the PSU combination as well. I seem to be hearing better things about the gaming X overall compared to the Ventus, I'll most probably end...

    MSI Ventus and Gaming X Slim thoughts?

    Hey everybody, I've been a bit out of the loop and I've always bought my GPUs from EVGA, sadly they don't offer them anymore and from searching around it seems MSI gives the least amount of headaches for warranty compared to the rest (ASUS and Gigabyte for the most part). I'm mostly interested...

    Final Fantasy XIV Official Release Thread

    I doubt anyone here plays on EU, but I play on Odin, Light DC. Has been playing since 4-5 years now, the only MMO ever interested me with continuous good patch releases.

    Yeah ilvl 90 is too low, ironwork gear from mor dhona is 120 that's upgradeable to 130, easy to get with poetics and it will easily be able to carry you up to level 55-56.

    Final Fantasy XIV Official Release Thread

    World mobs shouldn't be much trouble at all, that's very weird. What class are you playing and what's your level and item level? Are you sure you gear is not broken and needs to be repaired? (it happens, trust me). Obviously don't pull more than a single mob if you're not tank out there. Only...

    Final Fantasy XIV Official Release Thread

    If you enjoy the game I'd suggest just skipping all the dialogue for that part and only watch the important cutscenes which will happen near the end of ARR, it won't take that long if you don't read through all those quests texts, or just pay $11 and skip the thing. HW onwards won't feel as...

    Final Fantasy XIV Official Release Thread

    If you're not intending to go right into raiding, then you shouldn't skip HW and SB IMO, they're good expansions, I can understand skipping ARR though if you're early on there because the 100 quests between 2.0 to 2.55 still is one of the most annoying parts of the MSQ where many people give up...

    Why not just get it from SE NA store? I got my NA key from there and they sent me the early access codes fast. AFAIK they'll send early access codes as long as you buy before the official launch date on July 2nd.

    FS FFXIV Shadowbringers digital collector's edition EU Region key

    It's a long shot, but I got this from GMG and it doesn't work for me because I'm on NA version (you can join any server you want, but your mogstation is still region locked whether EU or NA, mine's NA). Price: $30 Losing quite a bit selling at this price, just trying to get some money back for...

    31.5" 2560x1440 165 Hz VA G-Sync - LG 32GK850G

    If you're into gaming, 4K is not a good option until we get way better graphic cards IMO. 1440p is the sweet spot at the moment. I'd say this display is very good for overall usage once calibrated and amazing for gaming, very good contrast, low input lag (I play fighting games so I can easily...

    Microstutter borderless mode?

    Getting in and out of full screen is a hassle , there's a slight pause with it and it just doesn't work well if you alt tab often which you will do if you're playing an MMO. I think I figured out what's the cause of the issue but I don't have a fix for it yet, I realized I can "refresh" the Hz...
