    680GTX 2GB upgrade

    Got a buddy who has a 680GTX 2GB gpu on an i5-3570k asking whether or not he should upgrade to a 980GTX. I thought he should hold off, but he isn't happy with his performance at 1440 with FO4 and Elite dangerous. I've got a spare 290x I've been trying to sell him on but he isn't a red fan at...

    Sager 9752 or Alienware 15

    Looking at both but really know little about Sager. What little googlefu skills I have seems to turn up nothing but fanbois of one brand or another. Both are equally priced at around $2300 with 980m and the 4k sharp monitor. I'm just going to be using this for gaming while traveling as well...

    cards and castles

    Anyone playing this? Great little time waster similar to hearthstone I hear. Been playing the basic game for a couple days and just started an account for it. Pretty fun so far and you don't need to spend any money on it if you don't want.

    Retrying Linux

    Ok so here is the thing. I have an old dell laptop (inspiron 1545) laying here without a HDD. Figured I would put a new HDD (WD10JPVX) in it and install a Linux Distro on it. So I downloaded Ubuntu 14.04 on a USB stick and tried to install it. It crashed a couple times during install but a...

    Win 8 love

    I'm beginning to think that I'm the only one who loves Windows 8, well besides Heatlessun :eek: . I'm being serious, for whatever reason the whole OS just clicks with me. Looked up a few keyboard commands and I can navigate around the OS just as fast, if not as fast, as I could in Win 7. I...

    What to get at Dell.com

    Got a $300.00 coupon and it expires here in a couple weeks. Have two brand new laptops so don't really need one unless I'm going to flip it and sell it. I was looking at their Win 8 tablets, another U3011 from the outlet, or something... There computer parts are heavily overpriced as well...

    Original Guild Wars ?

    Is it worth while to start the original up again? Besides the titles and items from.the Hall of Monuments is it worthwhile to play for the story? Is it possible to solo the early game as the only thing i remember was being rushed through then my buddy stopped playing for WoW and i was pretty...

    Motorola Razr

    Well, Nexus Prime is getting all the love right now, but what about the new Razr? I'm not a smartphone expert by any means, but this seems like it is pretty damn slick, despite still being on Gingerbread I actually like what I'm seeing here... 4G LTE 2.3.5 Gingerbread dual-core 1.2...

    MBP vs Air...

    For a graphics / photo workstation. It would mostly be at home but would go with me on site. I would be traveling a few times a year out of state and country for various photo or commercial shoots. I bought my parents an iMac a couple years ago and they love it but I've personally never used...

    How to compare coverages

    Like the title suggests. How do you compare coverages between cell carriers? I'm in Northern Colorado and the last 6 months AT&T had been horrible. Slow speeds, dropped calls, and the like. My fiancee has Verizon, but I've been considering Sprint as I do have an unnatural hatred for Verizon.

    2 Worlds 2 vs Risen vs Gothica 4

    So as the title says, any good recommendations between these 3? I have Risen already but it is getting ridculously hard so was thinking of something similar so I can take a break from it. But is it worth the cost to grab either 2 worlds 2 or gothica over Risen?

    32" Led Vizio @ Target 399.99

    Vizio is in the Target weekly ad for 399.00. Good reviews on Amazon for it and I'll be swinging by in a bit to take a look at it but not a bad price for a bedroom tv. It does appear to be an IPS panel since it has 178° viewing angle. Sorry if that is not a great way to determine the...

    quality of refurbished dell monitors

    Noticed that many of the Dell refurbs now have 90 day warrantys. Was wondering if their quality from the Dell outlet is enough to cause concern on the 90 warranty.

    why the difference? 6850cf vs 6870cf

    Seems everyone is really disappointed with their 6870CF setups. Errors, bad drivers, etc...etc... But I can find a dozen threads proclaiming the nerd orgasms of 6850cf rigs. I was getting ready to pull the trigger on the 6870 but all of the threads here have me considering the 6850cf...

    Whoever said PC gaming is dead...

    Hasn't seen my Steam backlog. Literally, I've probably got a dozen games + that I haven't played, and I still haven't got around to ordering ME2, the new DA expansion, AvP, DoWII expansion, Metro 2033, Bioshock 2, and if Ubisoft ever gets off this shitastic DRM trip I'll pick up AC2, and SH5...

    DRM Analysis from Stardock CEO

    Should I play ME1 before 2?

    Well lets make that a tad more clear. I played it on the 360 when it came out and finished it and loved it. House was broken into 360 stolen and library stolen... Hence the dilema. Should I get this on the PC and replay it through before I play 2? Does 1 affect 2 that much or is it not...

    8800 512 for HDTV problem

    Using my old 8800 for the new home PC but it has a weird problem with making the desktop and other applications bigger than the actual TV. I've used the nvidia software to make the desktop fit, but it kinda plays havoc with other stuff like movies and games. The current resolution is like 1856...

    AT&T vs Verizon

    So I've been with Verizon for years now, close to 8 years, and I'm getting royally screwed over by them in regards to my Storm. Now on my 6th one and they won't switch me out of it. I was going to grab a Nokia n97 and call it good, but my parents offered to put me on their family plan and...
