This monitor is going to make me go back to SLI/CF. I was just starting to enjoy the benefits of a single card and everything just working and being super smooth. The bigger question for me though is 120Hz 1080 or 4K @ 60 hz. Decisions decisions....
Fair point, but to be honest, since we are talking about PC exclusives, add together every COD title on steam and it may hit 100K concurrent, 1/5th the average day of Dota. And Ghosts is shamefully low for being the latest greatest COD.
Also i think player count has to at least be considered...
i just picked up Dark Souls in the last steam sale and want to give it a go. Quick question though, are you guys using the DSfix still or have updates fixed most of the launch problems?
PC Exclusive GOTY 2013 has to be Dota 2.
Just looking at player numbers alone you could add every other PC exclusive this year together and not touch Dota 2 in concurrent player count.
Not to mention the huge reception this years international had and its impact on e-sports.
On top of...
Unfortunately the h220 is known for this particular problem. Overclock.net has a dedicated forum for the H220 and quite a few people have reported this problem. I am personally on my third unit and this ones been running great (Fingers crossed lol) The upside is Swiftech has acknowledged it as a...
Sorry, i should have clarified that it is greatly dependent on how far you sit from your monitor. Overall though the smaller the screen the more crisp the image will be, you just have to decide how much screen re-estate you are willing to sacrifice for clarity. To me 24" is the sweet spot, i...
If you are already in a push / pull setup, your not going to see much difference temp wise going from fan to fan. maybe a degree or something but nothing that's going to take you from "your CPU sucking temp wise" to being acceptable.
What CPU are you running at what speed?
Not sure what type of gaming you do, but have you considered 120Hz monitors?
You can pick up a ASUS VG248QE 24-Inch 144Hz monitor for exactly $250 on amazon. The color quality may not be up to IPS standards, but i have used both and the clarity of gaming at 120Hz + Lightboost (to me atleast)...
I have been running windows 8 since launch day without a problem. Started on an I7 920 and moved to a 4770k. As somebody who also purchased Vista on launch day, i can say that Windows 8 is perfect in comparison. Vista at launch had (for me atleast) all the problems that you brought up with...
Thanks for posting this, been looking at these speakers for awhile but couldn't bring myself to spend almost 250$ for PC speakers. At 100$ its a steal, even refurbed.
Thanks!
i delidded my 4770K using the vice + hammer method from overclock.net. I was really surprised how easy it was. A couple light hits (nothing more than the weight of the hammer from about 6 inches) and the adhesive broke loose enough to lift the chip off the ihs. Personally i don't trust myself...
My 920 was clocked at 3.8, for the first couple years i had it at 4.2 stable, but over time either it or my H50 started to degrade, haven't been able to get it back to 4.2 for the last couple months.
Overall i would agree with what you guys are saying though, sure in Cinebench, or Vantage my...

The first part explains some differences between them, 6 bit vs 8 bit panel etc.
For surround / eyefinity i would go with the u2412m's and use the money you saved for another 7970, depending on what games you play double the FPS is going...
I finally decided to retire my launch I7 920 from my main rig. I would definitely say it was worth it for me. The processor itself is significantly faster than my 920, upgrading has even allowed my 580's to stretch their legs a bit more. On top of the CPU increase getting a new feature rich...
Last week i picked up the Mpower + 4770K + Free 8 GB Ram. Not sure if the combo deal is still running but it was 48$ off and you got the free ram, i found that pretty hard to pass up.
I have been really satisfied with the board, like others are saying it does have a great feature set for the...
Until this point Far Cry 3 was only on my radar as a steam sale buy, but the initial reviews are looking quite positive.

Sometime's i get the same feeling :)
I have run 9800GT SLI, 4890 CF, 5970, and 580 SLI. Over the years i can only remember one or two scenarios where i had problems and those problems were never anything more than poor scaling that was fixed with drivers.
I plan to continue using SLI / CF...
For about a year after release, i refused to buy borderlands because the screenshots looked horrible. A friend of mine made me grab it on a steam sale to play it with him and im glad i did. It turned out to be one of my all time favorite games.
Cant judge a book by its cover :)
Next time say "Remember, keep it [S]oft" lol :)
Joking aside, i would also consider the Dell U2412M or the new or old HP ZR24 models, those three should all be under your max of $400.
I take it you haven't been following the Korean 27" IPS monitor craze?

Other than that i would say your limited to a 24" IPS 1920x1200
PC Per Review
Agreed, For me its just that every single game i play it feels like i have done (Pick random game activity) a thousand times before. Fetch quests, turret sequences, endless spawning waves of enemies, endless grind for cool gear, ect....
Im just getting burnt out doing the same exact thing...
Agreed, friend of mine went from a I5-750 @ 4.0 to a 2600K @ 4.8 and unless you ran benchmarks the difference was hardly noticeable. He is running 570 SLI.
Heres hoping that Haswell gives us 920 owners something worthy to upgrade to :) I have been wanting some new hardware to play with but...
I thought the first MOH had potential, just lacked polish and content, due to a rushed release schedule. (2 different engines.....) If they improve those two things, it alone could most likely destroy the COD franchise, simply due to Frostbite2.
Battlefield 4 though...... i just cant fathom...
I know there are a fair amount of flight enthusiasts here at [H]. Has anybody been checking out the upcoming MIG 21 for DCS? Its going to be a Third Party add-on that will plug-in to DCS's world. It looks like the project is coming along nicely and is slated for a 2012 release. This will be the...
I have built several systems with Antec cases, and have always been impressed by the build quality. I have also never seen one of their power supplies fail. Overall great products at great prices.
