    Confirmed: Xbox Series S Price and Design

    OP needs an update. MS confirmed the price of the series S and Windows Central leaked the X version will be priced at $500. People talk less about GE Force now because 3rd party publishers forced Nvidia to take away our ability to play games we paid for. Nvidia firmly proved cloud gaming has...

    AMD and NVIDIA May Be Preparing Graphics Cards for Cryptocurrency Mining

    1. Bitcoin is the go to catch all term. People don't think of them as Cryptocurrencies but as Bitcoin alternatives. 2. They explicitly mention this is for Ethereum mining if you click the link. You're understanding of cryptocurrencies is limited. They have value precisely because they are...

    Who's buying AMD Ryzen? And Why? 30 day poll after intial release!

    Ive been frustrated with Intel which is why I've been waiting on Ryzen to get a feel if AMD will offer anythng close enough to being competitive. AMD has done that so I'll sponsor them with my sorely needed upgrade.

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

    The point of this thread is talk about the displays. Misrepresenting the backlight glow by not adjusting your camera settings is the type of discussion we need because those pictures are trying to add facts to the discussion.

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

    I ordered mine from CDW. The monitor has no issues other than the backlight bleed and even then it's not something I'm going to be picky about because it's nowhere near bad enough to bother me. It looks half as bad as some of the IPS glow pictures posted in this thread.

    Intel SSD 750 PCIe SSD Review: NVMe for the Client

    I found that part strange. I wish someone else did these types of tests or Tech Report did them again with software that pushes storage like the various mods for Skyrim or video editing.

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

    New to me Freesync Info

    Guys pcper aren't the only ones seeing ghosting. So out of 4 displays that could be reviewed 3 of them are showing signs of ghosting. The fourth one is the 29" version of the LG display so it's doubtful it escaped this problem.

    New to me Freesync Info

    Tamlin_WSGF covered 1 and 2 mostly. ULMB is a gsync feature because Nvidia specifically tied the implementation into the gsync module. You can get monitors that have similar functionality as ULMB but right now they are rare. Read this page to learn about the rest...

    New to me Freesync Info

    The strengths of each system really are: Freesync More affordable Custom resolution scaler on the display side instead of the GPU Choice of having Vsync on or off Ability to use more than Displayport and doesn't disable audio input over DP Gsync No Ghosting ULMB as an option when playing at...

    Let's not skimp: Asus Swift +8bit panel overcomes typical TN color quality limitations +1440p +3D vision +ULMB at 120hz -TN panel still means you have bad viewing angles -highly more variable quality -NVIDIA GPU only for it's G-Sync/ULMB features o matte film

    IPS has poor contrast compared to VA panels. If you want great blacks it's what you would buy.

    Kimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    If people are able to use 4 cards then that means they are using only one or zero gpu. Blocking out the bottom radiator/fan section would be less stressful than fitting 2 gpus in that case. Well I'm making an assumption on the cooling performance but I have little reason to doubt this. I get...

    Kimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    It seems like you mostly see cooling performance as the only thing that is a value add in a case. Expansion slots (among other things) are a value add in of itself. The original design of the case was just for 4 slots but it was pointed out that since there is enough space to fit a radiator...

    Kimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    Frankly I'm fine with the current design so far because the goal is to make a compact MATX case because every single MATX case, except for 2, are just slightly smaller ATX sized cases with 4 expansion slots. Would an ATX PSU be feasible if there was an optional mounting bracket if the...

    Kimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    The front not the side. Doing it that way allows the GPU exhausts pointing vertically straight up like the Raven and Fortress instead of parallel to the ground. The problem you pointed earlier with the front panel fans maybe alleviated if they help push hot air upwards because it's clearly not...

    Kimera Industries Cerberus: The 18L, mATX, USA-made enclosure

    The current box design is too generic. I really like the beveled design you considered earlier. I think you could make that bevel functional by putting the basic IO and power button on it. This way people using dual gpu setups can have the option of laying this case on its front and have the...

    T-Mobile Will Pay Early-Termination Fees For Families

    But with Tmobile the front for a no contract phone doesn't have to be paid immediately. It can be broken down into smaller payments over a period of 2 years. Unlike past contract plans when you do the math an off contract phone paid for this way costs less than the subsidized phones because...

    AMD Demonstrates "FreeSync", Free G-Sync Alternative at CES 2014

    [AnandTech] Nvidia G-Sync Review

    I'm curious about your experience. I noticed a small vendor offers to do in house panel inspection for a significantly higher fee than a monitor they don't personally check and guarantee a certain level of quality. Have you tried paying for such a service and still gotten burned?

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    Great review Vega. It was a nice complementary analysis to the TFTcentral review. I have 2 questions. The first is why does the TN panel look a less pixelated than the others even though they have the same resolution? I can make out certain details on the Benq that gets washed out in the...

    Eizo Foris FG2421: 120hz VA Panel

    While I'm more interested in getting a gsync monitor I just might get this because the flicker free aspect is maybe something I can appreciate for everyday usage. If I don't like it I can return it.

    Variable Refresh Rate Monitors (G-Sync) --- Refresh Rate Varies While You Play!!!

    This can happen especially because of laptops and tablets. Since pushing high image quality is hard on such devices and they would get so much benefit with something like gsync. The only problem is that their thermal and space restrictions for GPUs is extremely limited and general PC usage is...

    Nvidia G-Sync - A module to alleviate screen tearing

    Why do you think this can be solved with software? Nvidia is making a custom circuit board that needs to be added to a display because the display manufacturers (aside from BenQ and to a lesser extent Asus) have been stagnant on addressing gaming concerns.
