I already have USB 3 on my current MOBO. That said I'm dealing with SATA II, moving to nvme would be a huge upgrade. So far my CPU has been no where near maxed is really any VR game so I don't think I'm going to get much of an improvement here.

I bought a GTX 1080 and then ordered but returned the Titan X Pascal. After reading this along with my own experience in Raw Data - I'm wishing I kept it! Hoping VR SLI support is around the corner, I think that would be the better compromise, 2xGTX 1080's > 1xTitan for roughly the same price.

Hello - Looking for some feedback here. I used to be a big gamer up until about 5 or so years ago at which point I put away my water cooled 3.8ghz Bloomfield machine and have been using a PS4 for occasional gaming. With the advent of VR I've had a renewed interest in PC gaming. I was originally...

After reading the last several VR articles, I keep asking myself is there is any point to the Titan X for VR? I've been getting back into PC gaming after a 5 year hiatus entirely because of my interest in VR. Long story short, I picked up at GTX 1080 and the performance is excellent. I then...

I know someone well who used to work for a company that provided wifi/telecom to a convention center. This stuff is as much a fault of the city who owns the convention space as it is anything else because they take a HUGE percentage of the revenue. Playing devils advocate here, a few reasons why...

At least with Uber, if such a terrible thing happens you know who did it and that person can be brought to justice! I have a good friend that was raped in Spain by a taxi driver, the guy was never found. I can only imagine how often this happens. Glad to see some justice served!

As my income has increased over time there have been many shows that I started watching through downloads and then switched to paid subscriptions. If you can afford it, it's much easier and convenient to just pay the $15/month - HBO gets it! I'm not condoning piracy although it's a useless...

I struggle with these things. I'm a self proclaimed audiophile, I have expensive cables in the $1,000 range granted I got them for much less on the used market. I can hear some subtleties between the cheap and high end cables but it's not game changing. When we are talking about equipment, the...

Absolutely agree with everything you said. It's my understanding that error correction is a best guess (with regards to sound anyways) so it theoretically doesn't reproduce the sound accurately. I don't really understand it at all... My gear is 100% analog so I dont know much about digital...

As a so called audiophile I have some pretty pricey cables in my system and I can say they do make some (not huge) difference. With higher quality digital cables you have a lower error rate and theoretically could have better picture/sound... Yes this cable is overkill and is probably...

Wort is the liquid that leaves the mashtun after it has been ran through the crushed malt... That left over malt is called spent grain, which is what you are referring to. Just an FYI if you are interesting in the brewing process.

Running the rig in my post on ultra - but msaa bumped down to 2x and its running just fine. Not sure what my FPS is but I'm wondering if ultra settings are actually enabled. Anyone know?

OK - Yes they are "Real" but they aren't electrostatics which is what Martin Logan is known for. They are cheap spearkers designed by Martin Logan and then made in China and don't come close to comparing with a traditional pair of Logans. My point while not properly delivered is that these...

I purchased my first set of Logans when I was 18 (12 years ago) since then I've upgraded several times and have always loved them. It's sad to see martin logan sell out. While these are the brand martin logan they aren't real logans. The real ones are made in the US these are made in china...

The lighting seemed like it was pre-rendered given the light map that was shown... maybe that was just an example... another reason why this might not exactly work in a game. Not to mention calculating collisions etc. Could be some cool tech for other applications... I'm interested.
