Thanks, the Strix arrived before the payment even finished, within a couple days of the order. Installed and happy to report no perceivable coil whine. Card runs cool and quiet and I'm happy with it. Have not done any overclocking yet as been playing Fallout 4 but plan to this weekend.

I snagged a gtx 970 asus strix off jet for 245 and it's performing very well in fallout 4.

Let me tell you guys what Jet did for me because it's pretty impressive. A couple weeks ago I used my first purchase like many probably did to get a new graphics card. Ordered the Zotac 970 for ~$245 shipped. The card screamed like a bandit with coil whine, some I could deal with but I heard...

I returned mine to jet.com and awaiting refund. The build quality seemed good but man this thing buzzed like crazy under load. I can take some coil whine but I could hear this from across the room. Bummed as I was looking forward to using it for fallout 4, oh well. Threw my 660 ti back in which...

Haha i just skimmed the page at first, went back and read everything and it was hilarious.

I would not trust ANY knockoff brand cards, especially the ones from china. A 30 second google search will turn up videos and stories of people purchasing such cards and receiving gpu's that go back 5-10 years. Also some dead giveaways here. No visible heatpipes and the cooler looks cheap and...

I used Kinguin once and the key ended up being banned by Ubisoft for being illegal. I had the kinguin guarantee service and all they offered were other keys, never a refund. I would never trust such a website ever again.

I snagged the Zotac 970 from Jet for $245 with the coupon, coming from a 660 ti, hopefully a nice boost. Thanks for the heads up.

All depends on how much Microsoft and Sony paid the respective retailers for floor space and where and how they are merchandised. Microsoft probably paid walmart more for better retail space and fixtures. Similar to how coke and pepsi pay grocery stores to take up an entire aisle. Beyond the...

Quick question if anyone can answer. I'm going to be getting this for my sister for a xmas present, she's into mario and has the wiiu. She likes to play with a friend of hers though locally, she only has one wiiu remote. Does this game play well with only one wiiu remote and the other regular...

I can understand why the hesitation. I got BL2 for free with a nvidia card and while it was fun for alittle while, I grew sick of it quickly. To me it was more of the same from BL 1. I picked up Farcry 3 on a whim for 30 bucks after reading good things but was still skeptical. I ended up playing...

Such a great series.

Eh, I might snag one if cheap enough, I've been on the fence for the 3ds already.

Glad i'm ditching ms this time around, not a fan of the direction they are taking.

Many games take money during beta, it's stupid but that seems to be the new business model. As far as I know it's still considered "beta".

I'll give it a shot.

Can't wait for this.

hmm

hmm

I owned the original xbox, and enjoyed the few great games it had at the time. I got the 360 on launch and for the most part 360 has been good to me. That said I am not getting an xbox one, microsoft has sort of lost its way with me. I don't play FPS games on the console, it's just not my...

I played the hell out of fallout N;V on my 360 before upgrading my pc. Now I'm tempted to get NV on PC just to install Project Brazil, worth it? Anyone play this total conversion, how was it ?

Every "gaming" headset i've personally tried have been trash. I don't claim to be an audiophile but I do enjoy good sound. My computer's soundcard is a Xonar which I pair with my HD598's if I'm looking for positioning in a game, like a fps. I also have a modi/magni combo dac/amp however I also...

Last of us was stupid good. I rented it on a whim on my day off because I had nothing better to do, the game engulfed my life for that day, beat it a day or two later. Easily one of the best games I've played in the last few years, and probably my favorite ps3 game.

Looks pretty cool

My highest on steam is Skyrim at 178 hours. When I quit wow a couple years ago I had something like 80 days played since beta, so glad to be done with that game. Beyond those I think Daoc probably had a bunch, oh and the original Starsiege Tribes, I played that game like crack in the early...

The scope of this game looks absolutely insane. Watch dogs may have to wait a few months for me. I love the fact you can directly buy stock investments in the game, I wonder if your ingame actions can effect the outcomes.... Take my money Rockstar!

I fail to see your logic. Cubeworld is a voxel game, it uses voxels and procedural environments to create a dynamic rpg game. Minecraft is a game about mining things and building things. They may look similar but that's all in how the developers chose to create thier aesthetic. If your not happy...

You're just in time for Neverwinter if that floats your boat. It launches tomorrow. I have been burned out on the MMO scene for quite awhile, however I tried one of the beta weekends for that game and was pleasantly surprised. Combat was pretty fun and the time commitments seem pretty acceptable...

This is true, however remember that gaming is much MUCH more mainstream now then it was in the old days. I remember when if a game broke 100k or 200k copies it was a huge success, and if it broke the half million mark it was an amazing achievement. Those numbers today would be lackluster or...

May I ask what armor mod that is?

Wow. Somehow I feel you are incapable of your own argument. Seriously, just stop now.

I've had this discussion with friends of mine, and quite a few actually prefer male protaganists. I think it boils down to the way they immerse themselves into the game. The ones who are much more into rpg's tend to play the game as if they were the characters and it helps them immerse themself...

The only game this year that really surprised me was Dragon's Dogma, The game tried to do alot of things differently and for the most part succeeded imo. I really quite enjoyed it. Right now I'm very hooked on AC3 so that's another for me. Nothing else really quite did it for me. I am keeping an...

There are more considerations to take into account which make the decision not all that easy. I have been using AMD for the past 3 years and there were times I absolutely hated the AMD driver issues. I recently went to the 660ti for a few reasons, the biggest were BL2 was a must buy for me to...

Thanks for the reply, I'm looking forward to the upgrade, I'm not even crossfired, just a single 5850 heh. Mainly just interested in GW2, borderlands and a few more. The 5850 is a Sapphire 100282SR. I believe it's a reference card besides a few graphics on the hsf, it was one of the first released.

I never planned on getting one but I have been itching to upgrade from my 5850, anyone know offhand what kind of performance increase I might get at 1080p. I've been out of the loop for awhile, but I wanted borderlands 2 anyway, and newegg gave me 20 bucks off for my preferred account, so I got...

I have to second this if you're into action RPG's. I was really not expecting to enjoy Dogma quite as much as I have been. There are several things about it that may initially turn people off such as the japrock music, the stupid amount of micro dlc capcom puts out, terrible story as far as rpgs...

I think the days of Darktide are long gone, but I do have hope after reading that above linked article on Guild Wars 2. The article really reminds me of my time playing endgame RvR in Daoc, another one of my favorite mmo's ever. As for the OP, the only real mmo out now with risk and reward...

Just another heads up. The PC demo should be out at some point today. The PSN demo is due out later today, noone knows for sure. The xbox 360 demo is out now on the marketplace but you have to do alittle searching to find it. I've played the demo twice now, the game is extremely fun so...

Here is some PC footage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Ph245qWavKs#! He's playing with the 360 controller however it's on the PC. At 9:27 they start talking about the PC version of the game. Ian Frazier starts to talk about the PC UI and how the game can seamlessly...
