I will wait for it to arrive in Steam. My backlog is 250 games deep so I can wait.

What's the big deal? You are already being recorded by multiple traffic cameras every day you drive....

What happened to PewDeePie?

They do not look like scanlines because the lines do not have regular spacing between each other. They appear as glitches which are located mostly in the middle third of the screen

I am getting horizontal artifacts that appear as horizontal scan lines that appear occasionally for a fraction of a second. This occurs when I overclock the monitor to 165Hz. Has anyone noticed this? Should I RMA?

Your comments have been very helpful. Thanks! Will I need and amp to drive the HE-4XX?

I tried the GameOne and was disappointed with the soundstage which I thought was too small for an open headphone. How would you compare the soundstage HifiMan HE-4XX to HD 600 and HD 598? How is the bass when compared to these two headphones?

Thanks for your comment. I already have a 5.1 surround speaker setup with a Yamaha RV-673 receiver and Energy classic speakers. So I don't want to spend more than $250 on the headphones since they would not be used very much; only for late night gaming.

Thanks for the info! Is this equivalent to the HifiMan 400s? How wide is the soundstage?

I appreciate the suggestion. I am willing to compromise a little on sound separation if there is a little more bass. I would prefer a bit fuller sound. Thanks. I will look it up.

Yes, I realize that :). Hence, I am looking for decent bass so games can still feel immersive. Deep rumbling is not to be expected.

Many thanks for your comments. I will look into the fidelio X1. The website you linked has been very helpful. I have added Game one and DT 990 pro to my list of headphones under consideration.

I am looking for headphones which have great soundstage for positional audio in FPS games. I would like to be able to locate opponents footsteps, distance of gunfire, etc. But I am a bit of a bass head so I would still like to have some decent bass. It will be nice for explosion to have weight...

Care to explain exactly how Intel made it make no sense to sell AMD? Nvidia could be hush-hush not because it is anti-competitive but because of the potential PR nightmare. And we can see examples of this with all the hilarious nerd rage in this thread, LMAO.

I don't see a problem with that. Companies are not static entities. They grow and adapt based on prevailing marketing conditions, technology, etc. A companies brand does not have to be rigid. Just because a premium brand has housed Nvidia and AMD does not mean it should do this forever...

No, this is not anti-competitive. AMD can still compete with Nvidia but not using the same premium gaming brand. What Nvidia has done is made their cards much more attractive to customers than AMD cards. This is what every company seeks to do. They want their products to significantly...

AMD is not being locked out and you know it. This is simply blowing things out of proportion. It has been said countless times in this thread that AIBs can sell AMD cards as gaming products but it appears your interpretation is very faulty

Give me a break! AMD is not being pushed out. AIB partners are free to sell AMD cards to their hearts content. This online rage is much ado about nothing.

I knew someone will bring up this example. It is a strawman argument and a very different action by Intel vs Nvidia and you know it. Intel flat out paid partners and said they must not use AMD. Nvidia on the other hand is not doing that at all. AIBs are free to sell AMD cards and even advertise...

I see no issues when a company uses legal tools to make their products much more attractive than the competition. What you people are calling limits on consumer choice is simply the free capitalist market. Nvidia is making their cards much more attractive and associated with performance than...

You guys are just snowflakes. Lots of nerd rage in this thread. We are in a capitalist society and any company worth its salt should use all legal tools in its arsenal to grow their business and increase profits. GPP is simply a business relationship between Nvidia and its AIB partners. Nvidia...

I just installed a brand new FTW3 Hybrid yesterday night. I just received it from EVGA as an RMA replacement. Unfortunately, I am having the same issue as the last one. I am hearing a loud hum coming from the barbs where the tubes meet the radiator. Nothing I have done has alleviated the...

My stutter is not related to exceeding g-sync range. I am not able to get FPS consistently above 100Hz with settings at very high. When I look at the resource monitor, I notice one of the CPU cores is sometimes pegged at 100%. During those periods, I see that my GPU utilization is 50% and my...

Thanks guys for your perspective. I canceled my FTW3 Hybrid order and will stick with just one FTW3 until I build a new rig.

For me, I would notice because I am trying to get at least 120fps in all games. There is a big difference between 60Hz and 120Hz in terms of smoothness. It is just as I suspected. I am not ready to do a full CPU/RAM/Mobo upgrade yet. Perhaps towards the end of the year if this mining/RAM...

I have a 144Hz gsync monitor so I am talking about 100+ frame rates. I currently only have one 1080ti so my frame rate problems in Far Cry 3 are not due to SLI. What frame rates are you getting and at what settings? I am also noticing that gsync does not seem to be working. There is a lot of...

Interesting. I did not know that. I seem to remember the Dell workstations from over a decade ago using generic crappy components but I suppose they have upped their game.

Thanks guys. You are exactly correct. I got a 1080ti a few days ago and it overclocks to 165Hz flawlessly. Do you think running the monitor permanently overclocked will have long term detrimental effects?

I currently have a 1080ti FTW3 and just snagged a FTW3 hybrid for SLI. I realize that SLI is dying a slow death but this is [H] so go hard or go home :D. My question is will my current CPU and mobo combo bottleneck my GPUs? I read that there is a small performance loss using PCie 3.0 8x. My...

I am unable to overclock my monitor to 165Hz. I keep getting a blue screen. Is the 780 capable of running a 1440p monitor at 165Hz?

Ah, I see. But don't these pre-built systems use crappy PSUs?

It was probably a good idea you did not purchase a pre-built system. How will you sell the remaining parts after harvesting the GPU? Your potential buyers will need a GPU to complete their system which are almost impossible to get at reasonable prices now.

No, I do not sit really close to my display. My viewing distance is about 2 feet and it is very noticeable. The desktop icons look strange because of this effect. Could my display be worse than typical?

Here's another way of describing what I see. When I am looking at the monitor dead center, the image at the edges where it meets the bezel appear rounded or curved. When I move my face even closer to the monitor (4 inches) and turn my face to look at the edges, I can see a couple of...

I just set up my monitor today and so far noticed a couple of things. I cannot overclock to 165Hz. Could this be because my graphics card is a 780? Is the max pixel clock capabilities of the 780 insufficient? A more serious issue is the nature of the vertical edges. It appears the actual...

Very true. Many corporations appear to look for short term gains and boosts to their stock price instead of long term sustainability. This mining craze hurt AMD badly in 2014 when it crashed and cheap GPUs from miners flooded the market. Will history repeat itself for both Nvidia and AMD this...

That's great! Perhaps the QC on these monitors is not bad. I placed an order for one from Newegg. It should arrive tomorrow. Can't wait! :). Now what will I do with my PG278Q? I already have 2x U3014 for productivity.

I don't get it. The standard TitanXp ($1200) is more expensive than the Starwars special edition TitanXp ($1138)? Special editions should be more expensive!

This is super insane! Nowinstock has reached critical mass on their internal alerts system for the 1080 ti! They had to create a Google group to compensate. https://www.nowinstock.net/computers/videocards/nvidia/gtx1080ti/setalerts.php This mining craze has ruined PC gaming. I sure hope...

Thanks for your response. Your opinions are very highly regarded in these parts :). I remember your de-bezeling exploits from years back :D
