    Gsync & FreeSync TVs (ever a possibility?)

    I'm sure you probably heard, but nvidia is coming out with Big Format Gaming Displays (65" with g-sync). Announced at CES.

    Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age

    Key thing here too is they added support for 21:9!

    Alienware AW3418DW 34" Ultrawide

    I personally think there is a difference between 100 and 120, but my biggest loss by going from a PQ248Q is the drop from 180Hz to 120Hz and the response time of 1ms which I did quite enjoy. The larger screen and ultrawide aspect make up for it mostly, but I still want it all in one! I jumped...

    Alienware AW3418DW 34" Ultrawide

    I think he is referring to the currently released ultrawide (PG348Q) by Asus and not the unreleased HDR model (PG35VQ) that may still be 6+ months away. It is the 35 that is 200Hz with local dimming.

    Alienware AW3418DW 34" Ultrawide

    Sorry it took me a few days to get these shots. Here is mine both with the lights on and off. The only thing I notice in person is a slight sheen from the bottom when the screen is blank, but it doesn't affect me when there is content. I also don't see any non-uniformity with the color temp.

    Alienware AW3418DW 34" Ultrawide

    Hey everyone. I picked one of these up during the holiday sales as well. I will snap a pick and give everyone my impressions. One thing to note to some of the people stating issues with achieving the OC. Before this monitor I had a Asus PG248Q and could not get it to OC to 165Hz. I ended up...

    4K Monitor Choice

    How about the HP Omen 32" 1440p 75Hz? You could get 2 for under $800. store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/omen-by-hp-32-32-inch-display Not 4k, but the real estate may work for you?

    Best 27in gsync monitor?

    I was in a similar situation last month. I was going to get the Viewsonic just because I have had good luck with their brand in the past. My brother has the Acer and it DOES look very nice (his did not have any of the issue which these monitors can sometimes have). In the end, I just could...

    Best Mechanical Keyboard, Money No Object?

    Another vote for the Ducky keyboards (I like the simplistic design). The good news is that if you get one you do not like, there will be someone out there willing to buy it from you.

    This thread made me laugh. Thank you for the relief.

    LED Lighting Question

    For what is is worth, I recommend the CableMod lighting. The new kits lost all the bulk and it is a RF remote.

    I was told EVGA had excellent customer service.

    With the size of this "issue", they may be outsourcing the work for the cards coming back? Could be why QC wasn't as good on yours.

    Nvidia GTX 1080 & 1070 EVGA Cards Reportedly Catching Fire & Dying Due To VRMs Overheating

    Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. Makes me feel even better and I can still attest to the cool-running nature of this card with the thermal pads.

    Thoughts on Skylake 510 and 530 integrated graphics and Kodi

    Hi everyone (Thesis here). Thanks for the information. I ended up going with the G4400!

    Nvidia GTX 1080 & 1070 EVGA Cards Reportedly Catching Fire & Dying Due To VRMs Overheating

    Honestly, I was surprised as well. I am running a Corsair 600t, 140mm Noctua intake and (3) 120mm Noctua redux exhaust. One HDD cage removed from the front as well. In my completely unscientific one time test, it is looking like the combination of the thermal pads and change of thermal...
