Interesting, when I run performance metrics on games currently, the 970 is pegged 95%+ utilized pretty much the entire time a game is open, while the CPU will be 20-30% utilized. Does this mean that the CPU is currently not fully committed due to the bottleneck at the GPU? Or, are the...

Thanks for the reply, my current monitor is a 1440p 140hz monitor, and I don't plan on upgrading for 4k for a while.

Hi all, My current rig (specs in sig) is in desperate need of a graphics update, and I've been eyeing a Sapphire 6900XT Toxic. The X370 Taichi only has PCIe 3.0, so obviously to use all the new graphics card, I need to upgrade the motherboard. My question is: do I/Should I pick up a newer zen...

I am glad i'm not the only one that laments the downfall of the high end Lian Li, Silverstone Et Al case makers. Everything now is RGB'd to the tits and designed to look good for a reddit post.

The Genesis of my PC gaming life started with this card, when I won one by playing CS:S on their hosted servers. I had to build an entire new computer as the Dell my dad had still only had AGP. RIP BFG, and the 7800GTX is the GOAT in my book.

Thanks for the feedback. I am specifically asking about curved screens. I had not considered the issue of games not supporting ultra wide. That is certainly a major factor in the decision.

Today, I worked remotely from home and was able to use my Wifes recently purchased LG 34UC88 21:9 curved monitor. It's my first experience using an ultra-wide, and first time using a curved. I have been in the market to upgrade my main desktops display from a samsung S32D850 (WQHD model) to...

so scan processes and steamfriends? What's the scandal?

They didn't shoehorn her in, the stinger of Avengers forecasted it, which means they had to write these narratives years ago.

Most cars sold already have a limiter, all trucks have a limiter around 105mph, my 2006 Mustang had a limiter at 108mph to keep the two-piece driveshaft from coming apart. 99% of buyers will not even know this is a thing. So cool for Volvo? that's a big bragging right and great advertising...

UHD Blu Rays are all I will buy, and only then I have to have seen the movie and liked it enough to watch it again.

Alien Isolation was fantastic, sort of wish they would do another.

Maybe Amazon shouldn't allow any joe schmoe become a seller? The biggest contributor to the fakes problem is the 'drop ship' sellers that host out of amazon warehouses. I won't buy off of amazon unless it states 'shipped and sold by amazon'

Update: Went to microcenter and grabbed a Corsair CM850X and threw it in. Still had various issues with failing windows installations, and the Samsung drive would randomly disappear from the drive list when installing windows. I then attempted to install to a spare generic HDD, but still could...

Hi all, On Sunday, I was playing Apex Legends, when all the sudden my game crashed, I know there have been some stability issues with the game, so I thought nothing of it. I rebooted the game, and then before I was even back to the title screen, my machine BSOD'd with a 'page fault in non...

Great review, if I get spare cash anytime soon, my 970 will be left to the parts bin.

Apex Legends is a genuinely fun and well thought out game. Respawn did a great job.

My system does not like playing it at 1440, I have to play at 1080p to keep the better textures and good frame rates.

Capitalism bruh, if you're upset over people getting paid to stream games, boy let me tell you, some people get paid to do....much worse to themselves.

CDPR has a vested interest in not getting caught up in any litigation regarding the IP that really launched the company. Hopefully we'll see more Wticher games at some point, but Cyberpunk is looking good.

Given Cook's outright hostility to FB in the press, I would love it if this happened. Interesting case study: Since a majority of FB users interact on mobile, would effectively 'deplatforming' FB by banning their app from the app store lead to a revolt against Apple, or a revolt against FB for...

Apple should keep it revoked for a while, won't get the message across if they just give it back. Apparently google was doing something similar but cleaned up before Apple found out.

Ok, if this is true. What is the net gain for Tesla? They've simplified manufacturing by only having to supply one battery pack. But why artificially limit the vehicles capability? Is it solely to feed superiority complexes?

If the option of 2FA is offered, and the user turns it down, idk man, it's sort of on the user at that point.

It's in the way they worded it, they said that 'these layoffs are necessary in the hopes that we may post a 'tiny' profit next quarter' After their massively surprising last quarter profit, everyone was expecting ~.5B$ in net earnings, and Tesla just nixed those expectations. About a 3rd of all...

Giving it a shot tonight, i've been intrigued by their version of BA, But definitely not willing to pay fullprice for a 3rd of a game.

Live Leak exists for this reason. When YouTube became a TV like service, the creative freedom naturally would have to be curtailed. Now if they would work on getting rid of all those creepy kids videos.

These lawsuits always get filed when a stock has a major decline, they almost never amount to anything.

I mean, cool? if their camera algorithms can produce better photos with more sensors, I guess it's an improvement. They need to revise the SE lineup, if they're truly going for a 'services are our bread an butter', competing in the mid tier phone market is a must. But given Tim Cook's recent...

Jensen Huang is quickly turning into the worlds douchiest CEO.

$30k? Ouch, lot of good options out there for less for an electric motorcycle.

because new IP is risky, and it's difficult for studios to defer that risk. Tried and true formulas and already existing universes are much more reliable revenue streams. It's just business.

I really only use my xbox one x as a HD Blu Ray player and Destiny 2 box, i've been using my PS4 quite a bit, and my Switch. But these things Eb and flow, I bet they're holding back exclusives till next gen so they can blitz the launch.

There is most of the time a return shipping fee, even amazon won't allow a 'oh I just didn't want it' product to be returned for free.

Jet used to give you a discount if you waved your return rights, not sure if they still do after the Wal-Mart take over.

If any new game from Valve comes, I imagine it will just, appear one day. No hype train, no pre-release beta system. I would love it if they just dropped Portal 3 on the world some random friday in June.

For a mathematical layman, can someone explain the benefit of finding ever larger instances of prime numbers?

Don't really understand this, they make good games, but nothing about their games screams 'proprietary hardware necessary' Maybe they want to market it to the hardcore racing sim guy? own more of the setup than just the software?

It's getting exciting in here. As we approach the performance limit of our current technology, the search for the next breakthrough begins.

Wow, a lot of ignorance of market forces in this thread. Apple slowness in China probably has more to do with their societal trend of boycotting companies/products from outsiders during times of political strife with said outsiders. Compounded with speculated slow down in their economy (which...
