    GTX 1060 or 1070

    I currently have a i7 860 (I know its old, built it shortly before getting married) paired with a GTX 670 and a Dell 30" 3008wfp (2560x1600, 60hz). I'm strongly considering upgrading this system to either a GTX 1060 or 1070. I typically play games like the Batman Arkham series, Tomb Raider, and...

    What to do for HTPC

    I have several htpcs in my house but one seams to have a motherboard with dying sata ports. I have my movies in ISO format and steam using TMT. I'm considering replacing the seven year old motherboard and cpu with a j1900. I would have an amd 5450 available if needed for this. Though I've heard...

    HTPC Question

    My wife to be and I are getting ready to move into our new apartment and I'm not sure if I should build a dedicated HTPC. What I want to do is to play my DVD and BD library onto the TV, other forms of content I'm not concerned with. Currently I have a machine setup as a server with an Intel...

    Help Decide on an LCD

    Hi, I currently have a Dell 2005fpw and am looking to upgrade to a 24 or 26 inch lcd. I would like to get something that has a glossy screen. I do some gaming (BioShock, HL2, Command and Conquer 3) and movie watching on my computer. I have been considering the Gateway FHD2400 and the HP...

    Why do you play video games?

    It's fun and a nice difference in type of entertainment from reading or watching movies just to have a change of pace. Being able to have fun with friends at lans is awesome. Some of the stories in the games are just so good and engrossing. Plus, it's something to do while recovering from a...

    Your most/least favorite game company

    Favorites include: Westwood before they were bought by EA Irrational Games - Freedom Force rocks. Blizzard Bungie before Microsoft got them, Myth, Myh 2 and the Marathon Series and what Halo was originally supposed to be. I dislike EA mostly bc of what happens to companies after...

    Highest Tetris score

    For the orignal gameboy i got to level 19, with 197 lines. I got that, had a completely clear screen and couldn't get a single line more after that. I've reached 193 and 195 also, but that's it for the level 19's for me. An average day I get between level 15 and 17 though. Just sad that I...

    Buggiest games ever thread! List them.....

    I would have to vote for the last installment of the High Heat Baseball series by 3DO for the PC. Possibly the best baseball simulation series ever done but it got buggier with every release. Announcers would stutter when a player came to bat and it would keep repeating for innings. The game...

    Most overhyped games?

    I would have to go with CnC: Tiberium Sun. So much of a let down, especially from the preview trailer that came out with the origianl (well the orignal on the mac, god I loved that game :) )

    Which is better - Diablo 1 or Diablo 2

    The original for me, mostly because the atmosphere was so much better and immersive. I liked D2 a lot, but it seemed to be missing the atmosphere that made the 1st one so great even though the new classes and graphics were great.

    Glorious Revolution

    I had a similar upgrade going from an Elsa GeForce 3 to a 6800GT. Until then I never knew that KotR had a blurring when using force speed. And yes, from what I've been told, it is because of DirectX 9

    Logitech MX700 and Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Pro Problem

    Ok. I just instaleld the logitech software. no problems so far, still need to test it out while playing games, like WCIII. However, would I be mistaken if I were to assume that if I purchased an Mx 900 that there would conflict since they are using different frequencies.

    Logitech MX700 and Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Pro Problem

    Hi, my 3 yr old MS Natural Keyboard Pro died on me about 3 weeks ago, so I picked up the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Pro to replace it. It does come with a mouse, but I love the feel and shape of my MX700. So, at first I thought everything was good because both were working just fine...

    Logitech MX700 Problems

    Are you sure but in Nihm AA batteries? That's the kind it's supposed to use as opposed to regular AA. With my mx700, I think I have the red button blink maybe once since I've gotten it and that was becuase it was off the cradle and in a bag for a day and half while I was moving into my...
