    27" Acer Predator XB270HU bprz $684.19 at Amazon

    I have the TN panel, a friend of mine has the IPS version.. aside from standing 5" from the monitor and looking from the extreme top or sides, i notice no difference. I bought the TN because i couldnt justify an additional $250 (at the time) for IPS over TN. I use my monitor for gaming...

    Fallout 4 Patches Will Release On PC First

    The only major issue i had was getting stuck in place coming out of terminals due to high FPS / Gsync apparently. I had to manually limit FPS most times i would use one, or i would always make sure to save before going in.. i found out the hard way when i had to go back 15 minutes the first few...

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents.. I also purchased this monitor, and have no issues what-so-ever. I was quite nervous about spending as much as i did on a monitor that might have issues.. but im glad to report its by far the best monitor i've ever owned and dont regret it a bit!

    980 Ti

    Yes.. the more i try it at +290 core the more im noticing artifacts. What would be a good number to aim for with my asic and stock voltage? 1400? 1450? Edit: Ive been running unigine valley for the past hour at these settings (+250/500) with no issues and steady temperature. Would that...

    980 Ti

    Just picked up a reference Evga 980ti today.. had a few questions on overclocking results and ASIC. Kind of new to this whole thing: First of all, my ASIC quality is 77.2%. Is that good/bad? I then did some overclocking to 1518mhz core boost (+290) @ 60% fan speed and 8Ghz memory clock...

    Shadowgate Remake

    So I remember this game from when I was a kid.. Even back then i always liked the game style behind these types of games (Deja-vu, The Uninvited, Shadowgate are the ones that come to mind.) Anyway, I just noticed that there is a remake of Shadowgate on Steam right now for $2.99. Ive only...

    Convince me to upgrade from my 660 to a 970 for newer games.

    I don't have the proof with me right now to back it up, but I upgraded from a 670 to a 970 after a lot of thought and people telling me (it won't make a big difference) to (it will double your performance). And when you look at the specs it doesn't look like much of an upgrade, but I assure you...

    DOOM E3 2015 Gameplay Trailer

    That looks a little more like the "doom" i remember. However i know how nostalgic it is and the feel of the original doom series could never be recreated. Doom 3 seemed more of a horror-thriller game to me with a vague Doom story line. I wasnt a fan of the whole shadows & monsters gameplay...

    4tb 130 bucks

    Thanks! Great price for that much space. Not too familiar with the 'green drives' other than they are low-power.. but im not concerned about performance, just storage. Just picked one up. My 1TB WD Black that ive had for over 5 years is finally down to 20gb free.. This should definitely...

    Sims 4 to Get Game Pack in January

    And it begins... the 50 expansion packs for Sims 4. That's one thing that turned me off about the game.. If you didnt keep up with it, you had $120 of expansion content to buy to keep up with all the latest cool items. I guess thats why i wasnt as excited for sims 4 as i was with sims 3...

    GTX 670 vs. GTX 770

    A friend and i have identical systems (same board, ram, cpu, ssd..etc) and we both did a valley benchmark to compare our cards. He has an MSI gtx770 OC and i have an MSI gtx670 OC overclocked +60 on the core, and +600 on memory (1254mhz core/7204mhz memory) and my card benchmarked higher than...

    MSI GTX670

    Well, you have to consider the 670 power edition is really really close to a 680. In-fact a 680GTX is practically just an overclocked 670 with a few more shaders. Your buying a factory overclocked card, and once you bump up the GPU core another 60Mhz and the memory another 5-600Mhz like i...

    16x10 vs 16x9?

    My 28" Monitor that I bought in '09 i think (and still use to this day) is a 16x10 aspect ratio. Always wondered why all the new ones are 16x9.
