You can get a $100 Steam Gift Card if you buy it at Microcenter in the US now. AIB partners are getting $50 rebates from Nvidia but who knows if they will pass on the savings to consumers and if the Microcenter promotion will still be going on if that happens. In the UK, the price is actually...

How likely will these monitors have good support for Adaptive Sync at 45-75 Hz where most of my gaming will likely take place? I have a Nvidia 1080 Ti so I know sometimes Freesync support can be iffy with some monitors at lower refresh rates. Right now I have no idea what I am going to get, a...

I'm getting around 1850 multicore and 175 single core for Cinebench on Ryzen 2700x on a ASrock X370 Taichi motherboard and 16 Gb G.skill FlareX 3200 RAM 14 14 14 28 settings. I undervolted the processor slightly to get higher clocks with the boost and edited the settings for the Performance...

I have last year's Samsung (I think the 6300?) and while I like the input lag when run in game mode and the overall picture quality, I find the grey-to-grey response time to be pretty horrible. Any of these 2017 models make a decent PS4 Pro and PC gaming monitor with 20 ms or less input lag and...

You can use a cable as long as 15 feet for 60 hz 4k if it is a true high speed HDMI 2.0a 18 Gbps cable, I think the max limit is ~16 ft. Anything longer than that could still possibly work but it would be very hit and miss, they make "active" cables for longer runs but even those can be...

So why exactly do I need 4:4:4 Chroma mode? I set it up in PC mode first, then edited the name to Game Console so I could switch settings. I then put it on Gaming Mode and FPS feel so much better with the lower lag. Also, the text in the desktop looks fine to me after dropping to 0...

A friend of mine did the exact opposite. He HATED having to deal with the ultrawide resolution since so many games didn't support it natively and you'd have to do a ton of tinkering to get it working, so he sold it... Plus, the 34 ultrawide is only slightly larger than a 27 inch display, just...

Even if the PWM flickering isn't noticeable to you, I'd still try to run the Backlighting at 10 just to reduce eye strain. Personally, I really like bright backlighting so I run it at 16, although 14 is probably a better compromise. In any case, if you ever run the screen in a dim room or with...

Incorrect, you are thinking of Response time which is typically 1-5 ms. The Input Lag on most gaming PC monitors is around 10 ms, so the 21 ms isn't very far off when playing in game mode.

The 1070 GTX FTW sold out so I guess that makes my decision easy, hah. I'll just wait for the Step-up to the 1080 if it occurs within the next month or so. And maybe get a second 1080 for cheap when everyone is selling theirs to get a 1080 Ti in January/Feb....

Yeah, I'm not sure what to do, I kind of want to wait on Volta but that could be second half of 2017. 1080 Ti I'd imagine will be $900-1000 price range and just a Pascal. I have the 1080 step-up going but with EVGA being so slow it could be another 6 months haha. That is why I was just...

I haven't really gamed much on this TV so far other than with my PS Pro and it works great for that with Sharpness at 0. However, I was wondering what Sharpness settings should be for both Movies/Netflix and PC modes and are they at the same scale as Game Mode (anything other than sharpness of...

Well the blower cards might be a good candidate for immediate water cooling. Only the short cards will work with 670 GTX waterblocks, although even that isn't guaranteed. I'll find out next week ;p. The best bet for watercooling is probably the Asus card since according to EK there is one...

The preorder did happen in Europe. The problem was the two vendors in the US that were going to do pre-orders could not because their systems didn't allow it when a set price is not in place. AMD didn't want to reveal pricing weeks before launch to keep Nvidia in the dark, especially since they...

Why would AMD price their cards similarly to Nvidia cards and expect to get any sales?? Nvidia cards came out 6-9 months ago and a revised 780 Ti is being released potentially at $650 with similar performance to the 290X. Nvidia has a much larger market share and fan base, unique tech like...

I hope the announcement by Nvidia of the Geforce 780Ti has AMD rethinking the crappy $700 pricing for the Battlefield 4 special edition. AMD really needs to release the 290x for $550 to really shake things up, otherwise why would anyone bother with their cards? If it is true that the 290x...

The 15th was never a date given by AMD so of course there is no delay and don't expect any new info today ;p. I assume AMD is waiting so they don't do a paper launch and can have more mature drivers for when the NDA is lifted. But what would be the point be of the 8000 Battlefield 4 special...

Would be a huge mistake to have nothing priced between $300 (R9 280x) and $650-700 (R9290x).

I currently have my 7970 water cooled so the temps never get past 41-44 range, but my card was never that good of overclocker so I kept it at 1150 core at 1206 mV. For the memory, I used to have it in the 1750-1800 range with a slight increase of voltage to 1625 - I ended up at 1750 Mhz...

Skyrim runs fine with AA for me on a single 7970 without CAP installed. I've had 0 driver issues with my 7970 and before that the 5850, other than the initial Rage driver fiasco and Saint Row III running at 30-35 fps maxed out instead of 60 fps like it does on Nvidia cards ;p. Now that I've...

It sucks that many 7950s can be overclocked past my 7970 ;p. I can only get to 1100 core without artifacting, although I can get 1700 memory. I haven't really tried my card at really high voltages, though, as I dont want to use a fan speed above 46%.

My score was somewhere in the 55-59% range with 1.175 voltage ;p. I am able to overclock to 1100 core, 1700 memory at 1.181V, while keeping the fan below 50%.

My temperature dropped by about 5-8 degrees, depending on the load, when I reapplied TIM using MX4. It seemed like there was too much on my chip initially. However, I did replace a case fan that could also help account for the difference in temperature. This fan was at the bottom of my...

At which end does it cause the tearing? IE, is it when you mix the ports on the back of the card? For example, I have 3 monitors with DVI input, and can potentially use DVI, HDMI to DVI adapter, and a mini-displayport to DVI adapter (has to be an active adapter I believe). Would that...

Ah thanks for the info! I was wondering why my idle temperature was 8-9 degrees higher than normal and it was due to the memory not downclocking. So if I want to use extended dekstop, I just have to deal with the increased power consumption/temperatures.

Has anyone else experienced a bug where the memory is never clocked down when using the extended desktop? Everything is fine with my 7970 when I utilize a single monitor. However, when I add a 2nd monitor and choose to extend the desktop, the memory stays at its max rate all the time and...

I applied MX4 thermal paste to the GPU and added the external fan duct for video cards for my Coolermaster ATCS 840 case, which now gives me cooler temps below 70 C under load and increased overclocking. I was at 1090 core and 1550 memory with fan speeds below 50% without artifacting, now I...

Ah good info. So if I want to do the same, what should I be checking regarding the memory chips? I have MX-4 thermal compound I used on my CPU, I assume that will work fine for the GPU?

Keeping the cooler at a decent noise level, I can only get 1090/1550 without any artifacting, although it goes higher if I am willing to go 60%+ fan speed. But to make it bearable, I am sticking to 45% fan at load ;p. I was initially disappointed with this, but the real world performance...

I can post a pic later tonight if no one else gets around to it. But I am seeing messed up textures - white dots/small white shapes. Very noticeable in the Heaven DX11 benchmark, as well as my character's clothing in Saints Row The Third. However, I never saw artifacts in Skyrim or...

I have a 1.175 card. Unfortunately, I can't overclock all the way using CCC. I can get 1105/1575 at 1.181 V using a custom fan profile to keep the card under 72 C. Increasing the voltage did not seem to help the core go higher, as I kept getting artifacts, although I did not try over 1.2...
