I bought a Samsung KU6100 40" 4K@60 and 4:4:4 from Costco at like $499 You get a bit of tearing and the blurring is very good for a 60hz panel. Input lag is <20ms, very happy with it. I will hold off with this one until there is a 40" 4k Qdot/Oled HDR10 100hz+ Panel available for not >$2000.

While this is true, the HDR support ensures good brightness and good black levels to an extent. Also HDR games are the new cool kid on the block with the new consoles/TVs supporting it.

I have tried almost any format on the market today and 40" 4K is where it's at. I am currently on a 40" TV (Samsung) and even though I am stuck at 60fps with pretty bad blurring and I would never go back to my 27" 144hz 1440p IPS panel. 40" HDR / 10-bit is just a must have for me. 110ppi is...

I am curious as to what other people have got to run stable. I am currently running my [email protected] with 1.25vcore and 1.1 VCCSA on 100% load prime95 I get stable temp of ~72 on the cores with 25c ambient

So if I am to buy the Asus 27" "HE" or the BenQ 2720T, which one works best with this? Also I currently own a 6990 on water so the green team will have to wait a few years to get my money.

Yeah I'm actually not sure between the Asus 27" VG278HE 2ms 1920 x 1080 144Mhz 3D and the Benq 27" XL2720T 1920x1080 120Hz Any opinions?

Can I team an external nic to an onboard one? I did not think I could. If i can that will save me a bundle. Anyone have experience using link aggregation and could shed some light on this?

thanks for that did not notice, the PCI-E will be better thanks. Also to all who posted above I have taken all that into account.

Hello, I was looking at buying a 12+ slot NAS recently but I realized that for a similar amount of money I can build a MUCH more powerful server. I am not an expert in this field so any feedback/recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Here is my HW list so far Case NORCO RPC-4220 4U...

Sweet card!!

And do you still get positional audio like that? I mean the reason I want to buy them is for gaming/the occasional movie, I have a good pair of wired cans for when I want to listen to music. Also is the battery user replacable? Or is this another great product with planned obsolesence in mind...

Sure did. I did mess up when I signed up on the stats website tough .. cause it was asking me for a stats ID and I didnt have one or know where to get one and i just entered something random and now when I log into my account it goes to someone elses stats .. Anyway to fix that? I know my stats...

Lol omg you are right, doing 25k ppd without the GPUs working. :confused:

I have setup the lastest client and have setup all the options. Both my gpu's are hacking away at it. 4k ppd each but my cpu is not giving any? It says my CPU is as well (using smp multi-core client) but in my tracker window the PPD is yellow at 0 and the % complete is still at 0% after 20...

Since the inside of my PC is already quite busy, I have a 6990 and a 6970 now in there plus all the WC tubes, an external DAC sounds good. I have looked at the D4 and D6, what's the difference they both have the same chip but one is $75 more? Edit: Also I listen to a lot of lossless audio, I...

I currently have a Xonar DG sound card, and I plan to buy a pair of HD650 since audio quality seems to be completely sub par on any gaming headsets. I listen to too much music to just skimp on quality there. I previously had a pair of HD590s but they had an unfortunate accident and now I...

Yeah , as said above. Vsync is your friend. My 6990 is under water .. so it never got above 60C the whole weekend...

My wife ran it fine at 1080p max details with a 5850 and a phenom2 x4 955@stock. I will safely say a 6850 would do just fine. if you can find a discounter 5870 or 5850 you it might be even cheaper!

Unfortunately the i3 isn't there. Look I am not saying an i3 is a beast cpu that can handle anything. BF3 Multi player is probably the most CPU hungry game ever. If you are on a budget and you cannot splurge it's a great value for a budget build is all I was saying. Say if that $100 you save...

Ok, well I will not argue. Since I do not have it to test. So in that ONE game IN multi-player only it does make a difference. Otherwise refer to Tom's review where it performed on par with even the 2600k@stock.

Those i3 have HT so they technically have 4 cores... so how would it do on 4 [email protected] since you cannot OC an i3.

Yes, this is what all reviews should be like when a 580 Setup is concerned. Is all I am saying.

The i3 2130 is much faster than your core 2 and clocked higher. I'm sure it can run BF3 fine at 1200p or 1080p. The guy said he was on a budget and he did not mention productivity. The high end i3 are perfect for gaming. You benefit much more for the extra money on GPU. Anyway you are free to...

Right, As said above, plus how is seeing two 580s constantly beat two 6970 is any more interesting? For the occasional major fail from Nvidia when a $300 cheaper setup beat them? Really? The point of reviews is to help consumers make educated choice based on performance of graphics cards...

We are not talking about drivers here. I have owned SLI setups myself and has as much problems with them. There is shuttering with SLI as well, you cannot start picking the games that work with SLI better to make your case. What I am saying is that comparing a 6970 cfx setup that costs...

So you reckon it's fair to compare a $900 setup to a $600 one? And conclude and say Nvidia is better? Not in my book... and it did not use to be in H book's either is all I am saying.

Just wanted to say my AsRock bios works fine on mine. I'm connected via D-DVI.

Honest reviews that take into account value. Because it's the only metric that matters. Everyone when they look to buy anything is looking for the best performance their money can afford. Recommending a 580 GTX SLI setup if you have $900 to spend is just downright silly on a value...

For "gaming" only save your money and get a i3 w/HT 2130 clocked at 3.4 you will save more than a hundred bucks compared to an i5 or i7 and it will not hold you back in games at all, unless you get a high end dual or triple GPU setup. 2500k and up are overrated for gaming. They are no doubt...

... I have and they only mention the price of the Nvidia cards. What I wanted to see was 580s SLI gives 86.1FPS so 86.1/900 = 0.096 fps per $ AMD 6970 Xfire gives 68.4 FPS so 68.4/600 = 0.114 FPS per $ Thus AMD is 17% Better value than Nvidia per dollar out of your pockets. When I say they used...

I have a 6990 and I have had very minor problems (Skyrim) and even on one GPU it was okay. Got the 12.1 drivers now it's rocking. Very often it's not a crossfire issue it's the band new game that's full of bugs. I have had multiple SLI setups in the past, let me assure you they are not any...

My problem is not that they didn't test tri-fire. It's that they left out the value metric entirely. Because on a dollar for dollar I am not so sure Nvidia is the better option. It almost never is.

Exactly, as an Enthusiast If my $900 can buy me either three 6970 or two 580GTX. I want to know what performs better... When the value of the setup isn't matched it's not much of a comparison. No one build a system on hopes and dreams. Everyone has a budget. In the enthusiast market the...

In the last few reviews somehow you completely leave the value part of your reviews in? Why is that? I mean in the Skyrim review you keep saying two 580GTX in SLI delivers better performance. It does, but at what price? A single 580 GTX is what? $450~500? How much is a 6970 ? $300~350? Why is...

I have been using the earlier leaked 12.1 drivers and I get fine scaling in Skyrim using a custom profile. I get SSAA 4x@1440p and my 6990@98% on both gpus.

What were you exact settings? All I did is override the AA method to SSAA and set it in game to 4x AA in game along with all other settings maxed. And you need to set the crossfire method to adaptability. I have a bug when I press Escape like a flashing green texture in the background, but in...

He probably mistakes it for Morphological AA which does make things blurry.

My 6990 is under water and I run it at 950/1450. That is the equivalent of two 6970 highly OCed. It is SSAA and I run it at 4x because at 8x outdoors I frequently end up in 30 FPS range and it's noticeably less smooth. The IQ between 8x and 4x is barely noticeable at 1440p anyway. Edit: I used...

Ok, installed fraps. on 8x SSAA I get 30-50 FPS outside and 60 fps (vsync) inside with all graphic settings maxed. on 4x SSAA I get 60fps locked (with vsync) at all times inside or out. Very sweet. Oh and that's at 2560x1440!

That custom CFX profiles is just AWESOME. I am going to test that on Skyrim right naow! Edit: Both gpu on my 6990 now at 99% Util and I am getting super smooth 8x Super Sampling AA where as before outside with mist it was a slideshow is now very fluid. I don't have FPS numbers tough. Is there a...
