    GTX 980 ti or wait for 2016?

    I have been running a GTX 970 with my Dell U2710 (2560X1440) since last year and have been happy with the performance (was running a GTX 670 with that monitor before, so big improvement). I recently upgraded to skylake (from sandy) and was considering jumping into the ultra wide 34"...

    Dell U3415W $750-$760 Jet.com

    not sure if the price is the same for everyone (depending on zip code?) also not sure exactly how Jet works, I ordered a 500GB Crucial SSD from them 2 weeks ago for $140, got it in about a week and it works fine, but would be more skeptical about buying a monitor from them, if there are dead...

    New PSU fried SSD drives?

    has this ever happened to anyone? So I just installed a new board, cpu, ram (skylake setup) a couple weeks ago and everything has been running fine except my power supply was a little long in the tooth (5+ years) and I think I was having some overclocking/stability issues because of it. I...

    overclocking Skylake i5-6600k issue

    So its been a while since I have overclocked, last one was i5-2500k before UEFI. I have a ASRock Extreme4 Z170 board which has a ton of overclocking options. Trying to navigate through everything I decided to just up the core clock and voltage, set RAM to what the manufacturer claims (Ripjaws...

    Is there anyway to stream 1080p w/ HD Audio, without direct wiring?

    I starting looking into powerline hookups, but from what I have read they don't seem stable enough for full Blu Ray 1080p with HD Audio, would need 40-55 mbps and most people get 20-50 depending on where the room is and a bunch of other factors, doesn't matter if its the AV200 or AV500 type...

    FS: MSI GTX 560 Ti 448 Twin Frozr III

    just bought this about 5 months ago, comes with serial number warranty (so its not registered to a single user, but is warrantied for 3 years from the "born on date"). I am not sure what this date is as its not a simple XX/XX/XXXX format but these cards didn't come out too long ago so you have...

    Did NVidia just shoot themselves in the foot?

    So how many people who were interesting in buying the GTX 680 have now bought the GTX 670 because of stock issues on the 680? or were on the fence to begin with but have now gone with the 670 for price and stock reasons? I noticed Newegg now has the Asus 680 in stock and I have a feeling...

    Only thing that changed on New IPad is the screen

    assuming you get the wifi only version (and hey the LTE version depending on where you live isn't really an upgrade either), the only thing that appears to have changed is the screen resolution. Sure it has a bigger battery and a "quad core" GPU, but the CPU hasn't changed and lets face it the...

    MSI GTX 560 Ti 448 @ Amazon $249 MIR

    $279 before rebate, $249 after rebate. Newegg had it for the same price yesterday (after coupon) and you could have gotten a free Batman game with it, but for people that have to pay tax with Newegg and not Amazon, this could be a better deal. $249 for this card is a steal...

    Just when you thought they couldn't screw over the PC gamer anymore: Toysrus has Skyrim for $39.99 on the PS3 and XBox360 PC Price = $59.99, WTF, seriously? PC games (especially ports) should always be the first to drop in price and should be a little lower to start since they can be...

    PLL Overvoltage messing with offset settings on voltage?

    So I had a horrible Gigabyte boot loop issue yesterday (spent all day trying to solve it, finally on page 51 of a 55 page thread found something that worked) anyway, I am not going back to "testing how far I can push my system" instead I am going to go with what I know is stable, 4.4 ghz...

    Gigabyte Z68 UD4 Mobo i5 2500k overclock LLC vs Dynamic

    So I got caught speeding, tried OC to 4.6 before making 100% sure everything under that was working. But I am back on the right track now, with the Gigabyte boards/bios I just am not sure which method I should persue. Here is what I have been able to get a stable OC at: Bios version F5 4.4...

    2560X1440 gaming, which card(s)?

    I am upgrading my computer to a i5 2500k this weekend but am unsure what to do with my GPU. Currently have a Dell U2711 (2560X1440) and an overclocked GTX 470 (800 core, 2100 memory), I was running that stock until this last week and was able to get a huge boost while using MSI's tool to...

    Warm GTX 570 Galaxy $289 after MIR

    not the greatest, but both Newegg and Amazon have it at $339 plus $50 MIR. Too bad there is no free Batman game with it anymore. Last week Amazon had it at $349 plus $50 MIR plus the game... I am on the fence myself, currently have an OC 470 running at 800 core clock and 2100 memory, so...

    8GB 1600 Sandy Bridge memory $29.99 newegg

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428 not a bad deal, I actually found it after discovering I ordered the wrong memory from amazon for my new Z68 setup, I ordered 1600 1.65V memory, not realizing sandy bridge really should use 1.5V, but ends up I will get a better...

    Skyrim GTX 470, 2560X1440?

    okay, loaded up Oblivion just to see how it looked/played and it was super smooth at ultra settings at 2560X1440 with a GTX 470. I am a little concerned on how it will do with Skyrim though (haven't bought it yet), the benchmarks I have seen with the GTX 570 at 1080P resolutions are just okay...

    can you SLI a GTX 480 with a 470?

    just wondering if its possible? I currently have a 470 and can get a 480 for $370 after a mail in rebate. Can these cards SLI together, does NVidia support this or would it have to be a hack? just curious as that price is hardly more than a 470 and the upgrade to the 480 isn't worth the...

    Giga-Byte GTX 470 $290 Buy.com

    GTX 470 review

    I know there are tons of these out there already but I thought I would write a quick review from a casual gamer on my thoughts so far. First let me say that I have realized benchmarks are crap for the most part unless they are actual in game testing, when reviews write about 3DMark scores or...

    what does the Envy compete against? like Envy 14?

    GTX 470. Crysis 30-33 fps

    Okay so in the crysis benchmark test it says I get 18 fps at 2560x1440 I played at that setting anyway and after hours of playing I am getting 30-33 fps even in semi heavy gun battles. Totally playable. I am just confused as to why the benchmark test is so low compared to actual play.

    3GBPS vs 6GBPS

    okay so if I understand correctly the max read speed of 3Gbps on SATAII is about 250 mb/s, and the new 6Gbps will put that over 500 bm/s but most drives max read/write are still around 200-250 mb/s so why is everyone so excited about new 6Gbps drives? also factor in that most laptops still...
