    Have r9 280x.... Debating going r9 290 or gtx 970:

    idk, I'm currently in the process of tweaking my 280x, and my last stable before tweaking voltages was 1235/1550 GPU/Memory (MHz). I wouldn't go to anything amd is putting out right now simply because the cards are old, and will soon be updating. but only consider the 2##x version of cards

    Alien: Isolation... Is a GOOD Alien game possible? (leaked screens)

    I've gotten up to mission 6? I think I've enjoyed it so far, though I do give media a large berth in bullshit tolerance though. sdotbrucato still gives me shit because I liked Equilibrium (I thought it was a good adaptation of F451) the encounters with the alien are very tricky imo, so much...
