I feel the same way. Worst TN panel I've ever seen. My old benq 2410T had pretty good colors for a TN 120hz monitor, which is what I was coming from. It did have bad black crush though, so I figured oh it'll fix the black crush and was praised everywhere. While my gf needed a new monitor, so...

this^ I had a 2410T 120hz monitor, which had great colors, but also black crush so dark games I'd often have to turn up the brightness. My gf needed a new monitor since the capacitors in her's was dying. I pickup an Asus vg248qe (has same panel as the Benq 2420TE) because everyone praises it...

$10 - SOLD! to FrEaKy! Dad just got a 7850, and I currently don't have much time to play, again just selling another code for him. Link to see what games you can pick from. This is for the silver reward and you get to pick two games from the list. I can either PM or email you the code...

The 840 pro is better for large sustained writes and endurance. The 840 evo is better for price. Difference in performance is very little. Video editing, photoshop stitching large photographs are the only two things that I know of that would really require the constant writing, though...

$15 - SOLD! I didn't realize I had this key till just now while checking my emails. Just sold the FFXIV key and have this one for sale now. My dad got this key code with his 4770k and I don't need it. I pieced and built his new computer, hence why I have the emails. So I'm just selling it for...

Hey sorry, hadn't checked my thread. I had messaged someone else already after they PM'd me =/ If it falls through, I'll let you know, yeah?

SOLD My dad got a key code with his 4770k and I don't plan on playing another MMO for a while. So I'm just selling this for him. This is key code only! I'll send you the instructions + key code in your email/PM. My heatware is under DumpALump, but granted I haven't sold a whole ton of...

From what I read the EVO has 3gb turbowrite cache aka buffer, meaning if you're writing more than 3gb at any one point in time then the speed will drop in half. Really a non-issue for most. My dad does a lot of photography and is often stitching very large photographs so his scratch disk is...

That's for recent rebates. You want to click "get forms" right after "post-purchase rebate"

This review is somewhat flawed. Yes the reviewer used "stock" clocks, but the 680 GTX automatically overclocks itself. According to Tom's Review, there was only about 150mhz overclocking room as when he set 200mhz it would actually decrease performance. This 150mhz was worth about a 5% increase...

I will LOL if newegg ups the price to $550 once it truly goes live. Them trolls :D

Oh she plays games with me all day long. FPS, Strategy games, RPGs, etc.. She'll be ok ^_^ Sorry to hear your wife gets motion sick though. Maybe play some top down games or something other than FPS with her.

I've had the game since the xmas sale, but decided not to play it till I had a dedicated Coop partner who hasn't played the game yet. That dedicated player is now my GF, just got it for her yey! :D

Grabbed one yesterday, a pretty decent cooler. Always building computers for friends/family so this will be a cheap option for them.

Lots of people hoping for a cheap brand new top tier video card :rolleyes: If it is true nvidia has the performance crown and the performance/watt crown, they could price the cards at $600 and still have a lot of buyers. If they sell it for $400 and sell out everywhere, that means they could...

Supply and demand. There will be greater demand for EVGA over the competition because of this amazing warranty. The more people purchase EVGA cards because of this awesome warranty, the less supply there will be. Higher demand with lower supply = more expensive. Whole reason I purchased XFX...

wut? Are you saying you want everyone to use slower chips? The power that the new intel chips suck down is very little and is only used when needed. Definitely much more efficient than any previous chips. Intel is also releasing lower powered chips with every generation and refresh. Then they...

Anyone know where I can buy rubberized keycaps? So far all the keycaps I find are textured plastic. I read somewhere in the corsair forums that they were planning too, but doesn't seem like anything definitive. I just picked up a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard and was planning on changing the...

Obviously lots of people are willing to buy their card at the $550-600 price point, so there really isn't much incentive to drop the price. Once everyone who will buy at the high price has one, then they will drop the price maximizing their profit. The other side of it is why would you...

I used to do that to the back of where the ram is and ontop of the chips that got hot (used an infrared thermometer). Did it do anything? probably not. Do I have OCD? yes. Now that my sound card sits above my video card I can't do that anymore, thankfully.

Oh right, didn't think of that. Though I don't particularly like Origin. So i'm just going to go to her house n install it. Thank you though :D

I already own this game on steam. I'd like to give this game to a friend. Problem is the -$5 code is already setup for my account. If I purchase it, can I give her the downloader and the code?

Amazing price! The reason for the price drop and clearing out is going to be for their new flag ship http://www.guru3d.com/news/creative-announces-quad-core-sound-cards/

Have the H61M-E33 for my HTPC and its been just fine. However, I do stick copper heatsinks on all the VRMs and many of the mosfets (even if they don't exactly need them). My gf has the H67MA-E35 and hers has also been working just fine. Not using these to overclock or do anything fancy...

I generally have gone with the best price/performance cards (for my price point) at the time of purchasing. So far have had 3 ATI cards and many Nvidia cards. Had a 5850 and currently using a 6870 (yeah I know they are the same speed, but had a reason for needing the 6870). So far I haven't...

this Have all my single player games on regular HD. Move all my multiplayer/online games to Raid 0 SSDs.

Saw Smite being played at PAX, definite fps dota. Looked awesome. Now in terms of FPS of the sense of CSS, you've got to remember it is a dota style game. So you're not going to just go in there and rock people because your aim is superior. You still have to understand all the classes, what your...

Show me a 60gb C300 for under $60 or maybe a 120gb C300 for under $120.

For one, you have new tech. So demand for new tech goes up. Manufacturing of old drives stop, which means supply goes down, which means prices stay higher (Why is DDR2 more expensive than DDR3). More people (consumers, distributors, computer manufacturers) want SSDs today than they did a year...

Its interesting how SSDs actually get cheaper per gb the larger the drives. Where as with mechanical drives it is the other way around. I'm not counting the current 1tb for $50 vs 2tb for $70 since there is a price floor.

Cause if they were, someone would buy the entire stock then resell them for $20 each.

Anyone ever play an old game called Cybermage? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqvYjNljb78 This game feels like it and I'm excited. System Shock felt a little more like a dungeon crawler.

Then you're probably having problems with your computer not steam. Since saving the Have you checked your HD for errors or read speed lately (HDTune or your HD Manufacturer's software)? Is your HD filling up? Have you defragged? Try running it without an antivirus? Any background apps? BTW I...

Would love to get a copy, but steam deals have spoiled me. Now unless there is a game I MUST HAVE, I generally pass until it is $15 or less. I've bought a couple games at $30 that weren't must haves and it was fun, but I probably could have waited. Especially now with my backlog of games to play.

This is a good step in the right direction for all in one WC units. Older all in one units cost $200+ for decent WC ability. Now you can get that for $100 with less work involved. Crazy!

Majority of the hw monitoring with fan control that has a usb interface is right around $100+. I think the cheapest one is the BigNG, though its still like $90 after shipping. There is the Silverstone Commander ESA certified controller, which you have to have ESA components. No real idea what...

From what I've read, the Eye-one display 2 that TehQuick linked is the best of the cheaper colorimeters. I've been contemplating getting one, but its hard to justify cost when I'm not doing any professional photo editing or just going to use it on a TN panel.

I've had I think 3 rebates with ECS and so far have received all rebates. I've been pretty good about receiving my rebates for most things. Here's my procedure for anyone who wants to know: 1)Get PDF rebate 2)Fill out PDF rebate on the PDF itself ahead of time, so that way it is much easier to...
