I already have USB 3 on my current MOBO. That said I'm dealing with SATA II, moving to nvme would be a huge upgrade. So far my CPU has been no where near maxed is really any VR game so I don't think I'm going to get much of an improvement here.

I bought a GTX 1080 and then ordered but returned the Titan X Pascal. After reading this along with my own experience in Raw Data - I'm wishing I kept it! Hoping VR SLI support is around the corner, I think that would be the better compromise, 2xGTX 1080's > 1xTitan for roughly the same price.

Hello - Looking for some feedback here. I used to be a big gamer up until about 5 or so years ago at which point I put away my water cooled 3.8ghz Bloomfield machine and have been using a PS4 for occasional gaming. With the advent of VR I've had a renewed interest in PC gaming. I was originally...

After reading the last several VR articles, I keep asking myself is there is any point to the Titan X for VR? I've been getting back into PC gaming after a 5 year hiatus entirely because of my interest in VR. Long story short, I picked up at GTX 1080 and the performance is excellent. I then...

I know someone well who used to work for a company that provided wifi/telecom to a convention center. This stuff is as much a fault of the city who owns the convention space as it is anything else because they take a HUGE percentage of the revenue. Playing devils advocate here, a few reasons why...

At least with Uber, if such a terrible thing happens you know who did it and that person can be brought to justice! I have a good friend that was raped in Spain by a taxi driver, the guy was never found. I can only imagine how often this happens. Glad to see some justice served!

As my income has increased over time there have been many shows that I started watching through downloads and then switched to paid subscriptions. If you can afford it, it's much easier and convenient to just pay the $15/month - HBO gets it! I'm not condoning piracy although it's a useless...

I struggle with these things. I'm a self proclaimed audiophile, I have expensive cables in the $1,000 range granted I got them for much less on the used market. I can hear some subtleties between the cheap and high end cables but it's not game changing. When we are talking about equipment, the...

Absolutely agree with everything you said. It's my understanding that error correction is a best guess (with regards to sound anyways) so it theoretically doesn't reproduce the sound accurately. I don't really understand it at all... My gear is 100% analog so I dont know much about digital...

As a so called audiophile I have some pretty pricey cables in my system and I can say they do make some (not huge) difference. With higher quality digital cables you have a lower error rate and theoretically could have better picture/sound... Yes this cable is overkill and is probably...

Wort is the liquid that leaves the mashtun after it has been ran through the crushed malt... That left over malt is called spent grain, which is what you are referring to. Just an FYI if you are interesting in the brewing process.

Running the rig in my post on ultra - but msaa bumped down to 2x and its running just fine. Not sure what my FPS is but I'm wondering if ultra settings are actually enabled. Anyone know?

OK - Yes they are "Real" but they aren't electrostatics which is what Martin Logan is known for. They are cheap spearkers designed by Martin Logan and then made in China and don't come close to comparing with a traditional pair of Logans. My point while not properly delivered is that these...

I purchased my first set of Logans when I was 18 (12 years ago) since then I've upgraded several times and have always loved them. It's sad to see martin logan sell out. While these are the brand martin logan they aren't real logans. The real ones are made in the US these are made in china...

The lighting seemed like it was pre-rendered given the light map that was shown... maybe that was just an example... another reason why this might not exactly work in a game. Not to mention calculating collisions etc. Could be some cool tech for other applications... I'm interested.

I still enjoy BC2... this is just more of the same goodness. The best part about this game is it will give me an excuse to upgrade my rig - thats the real treat here (for me anyways). Thank you to DICE for developing a proper PC game and then (likely) dumbing it down for the consoles. So ofter...

Maybe if the DX11 support was sorted out I'd bite... more so just to have something to fiddle with... I'm not that interested in the game.

I'm retarded and paid with a paypal e-check and now my purchase is pending until my $5 e-check clears in 3-6 business days...

Can anyone comment on weather this game can be downloaded through steam?

LOL! The Onion cracks me up.... oh wait?!?

I just spit my gum out when I read that.... very funny sir!

A netbook isn't nearly smug enough for me to carry around. Honestly - I just got an iPad2 and love the thing. If it had some sort of primitive file system or document folder perhaps I could eliminate the need for my laptop for 75% of what I do. Either way... it's just an expensive toy.

I always thought that xbox was programmed using dx... one of the reasons it's so easy for devs to port games between the 2 platforms. My only experience here is some XNA programming so I may not have a clue what I'm talking about. I think one of the reasons that PC games these days are poorly...

Thanks for posting - I got some stuff for the kitchen, not exactly tech related but I need it ;)

Corsair kicks so much ass because they got me into water cooling on the cheap which started a very expensive but fun hobby ;)

Your right... apparently it went up $200 from the initial deal :(

Actually it was 1499 for that deal.... I got the nx800 because I liked the look of the tv and I honestly (while cool) don't see myself actually watching 3Dtv. The 1499 deal wasn't advertised BTW although it was in the system, my room mate is a sales manager for BB. Either way it was below their...

WOW! that's a lot of rad area for what your cooling... of course it depends what your going for ;) I'd get creative and make some kind of rad box on top of the case and just cut a whole on top like you said.

I've noticed that hl2 engine games are picky about having a very stable proc.... that being said. How are your temps? You could easily give that chip another bump or 2 of vcore.

What he said... very small gain to be had

The price on those compression fittings are [H]OT!!! I wish they were black but I'm going to pick up a few packs for future builds. I think all of my BP fitting were around $7 each!

My current system is in my sig... that's what I'd recommend ;) Fitting are really up to you, you can go cheap with barbs and zip ties or get elaborate with compression fittings, really just aesthetics. If you do need to get some angled fittings I recommend the swivel fittings, this is a must...

1. Push/Pull refers to fan configuration - Either pushing air through the rad or pulling air through, different rads respond differently although it usually very minor. The best performance is being able to do both (fan on both sides of the radiator) 2. I think your better off including the CPU...

I have the same res for the D5 and it works fine... I don't know much about that pump but I dont think the fact that its a res pump combo would impact performance.

I believe that Exos uses an aluminum radiator... this is bad news when you mix it with copper blocks like the 360. I forget what it's called but basically things will start to corrode and eventually you'll have leaks.

looks great! I agree that you could think about reducing your bends... that most have been a small fortune in fittings alone!

Seems like you might have a decent amount of restriction in that setup... Make sure the all in one pump/res/rad can handle it.

Once you break the seal it may no longer be sterile and some life my find it's way into your jug... If your concerned just buy another jug of water =p

A friend of mine sells these things on Ebay - They are complete crap. While the iPad may be overpriced by and large you get what you pay for.

A Swiftech MCW80 would likely work (They have a GTX4XX bracket). It's a really good block - I have one that I used before I ghetto modded some full cover blocks for my gtx460's - Full blocks are a wate of money but ofcourse they don't have the bling of a full cover block ;) It's unlikely...
