Exciting times..
I have a brand new Corsair C70 that's been sitting in a box for over 3 years waiting for the next build.. I loved the one I bought to get away from that bulky HAF X that I wanted another one for the next build.. glad I bought ahead of time because now it's discontinued. It's...
I believe the SE was only in high demand immediately upon launch (My pre order was delayed like 3 weeks).. no doubt mostly by folks resisting the move to larger phones.. but I don't think it took long for that to dry up what with most people preferring larger phones. I guess that's probably why...
Right, it would absolutely be higher. When I say I'm sad they axed it I refer to the design, not the price point, sorry if that wasn't clear.
As far as the cheap iPhone thing goes.. I've never seen iPhones get as cheap as the SE did around the 2 year mark without it being some awful 16gb SKU...
The SE was often available on Amazon for absurdly low prices.. I have a 128gb Space Grey SE that I got for $189. That's an extreme example but it wasn't uncommon to see them for $250ish.
It really was a gem, and I'm really sad they chose to axe instead of update it.
Another thumbs up for Synology.
I run an old Synology DS1010+ 5 bay device. It was pretty fantastic about keeping all my data in one piece after one of the drives failed (raid 6). The GUI is easy to use and it doubles pretty well as a plex server (provided the devices playing back the content...
The MX518 is an all time favorite of mine. That love started with the MX510 which I used for several years before I wore out. Moved on to a 518 which I used up until 2013 at which point I saw the G500 on sale for a good price.. bought in a pair. I later moved to the 500S and put the 500 in my...
I'll post some pics when I get home, but I received mine late last week. There are a couple of stuck pixels and there was some severe back light bleeding. I took it apart, bent the frame member back straight, and then did the electrical tape mod. It's not perfect, there is a little bit of...
Ah, he is referring to the tendency rubber dome users have to bottom out. I find I do not bottom out as much as I used to now that I've been using mechanical keyboards for the last year and a half, and have gotten faster.
It's not necessary to stop bottoming out, but it's nice.
I have a 60" LG Plasma.
I find that if a static image is left on the screen for 5-10 minutes, I can shut off the plasma and see it. Turning the plasma back on and either running color wash or other content clears it quickly however.
So being able to see it with the TV off is not necessary...
I have determined that both monitors are +/+ at 1920x1080 @ 60Hz.. so in theory it should work. Hopefully I can find a confirmation somewhere.. if not I might have to be the test case.
So I currently have one S23A700D @ 120hz, and the S23B300B seems to be very much the same only 60hz.
Would it be possible to run all three displays at 60hz for Nvidia surround, or does it absolutely demand all three displays be identical? I have found a lot of inconclusive information...
I've always found that having a 2nd monitor was more useful for that sort of thing.
As for mechanical keyboards, the biggest decision is what switch you want. I'm a huge Buckling spring fan (IBM, Unicomp), but there are also MX Cherry switches to consider...
Hmm, I think I'll try MX Blues sometime. I've become a huge fan of Buckling Spring since buying my Unicomp back in March, but clearly there is a reason people love these Cherry switches.
Depending on how many controllers you have for PS3, you could just swipe one of those, use the MotionInJoy drivers for xinput, and play games with that.
Otherwise I'd try a 360 controller, if you like that get a wired one.
Most games that support controllers now support xinput as the...
I used XP, so I can't see it being DX10 mode. In hindsight maybe my CPU, it was a Socket 939 Athlon 64 X2 4200. Not a particularly fast CPU, come to think of it, my friend had a Core 2 Duo E6400 with an 8800GTS which played Crysis with all settings on 'high' at 1024x768 pretty well.
Ok, yeah...
Perhaps we have different ideas of 'decent' frame rates. It's been a long time, I don't remember all the settings, it's possible I may have had some higher. The only point is that there was no way in hell it would play smoothly all the settings at 'high' dx9 unless you lowered the resolution. My...
Absolutely, I had to run most settings at medium, several at low, at 1280x800 to keep a decent frame rate on my old 8800GT. SLI did not make a gigantic difference.
My GTX 670 I got runs the game pretty nicely at 1080p all settings cranked at 4x aa though.
I just bought a 670 GTX 4gb. Yeah, it's a bit more, but I'm sure the extra ram will help down the road.
It's easy to saturate my old 8800GT with 512mb, but often the performance in some games is high enough that I feel like I should be able to push it higher.
I guess I just want some...
Yes, the xbox version had it co-op. Not drop in though. Also the Xbox had a different level set, so it's not 100% comparable to the PC version in that respect.
I had to go out of my way to find a Wii that would play gamecube games, the local Gamestop and Wal-mart simply stopped carrying them. Fortunately I found one new on Newegg for a decent price.
I considered buying Gamecube component cables simply because I love the system. The only reason I...
I'm practically incapable of enjoying a multi player shooter with analog sticks.
I can understand getting a ps3, I have one as well, but are you really 'switching' as in ditching PC gaming?
Obviously a cash in.
Remastering a 2004 game for hardware released in 2005 is hardly anything to get excited over.
Unless the PC version takes advantage of newer hardware, this is of absolutely no interest to me.
Eh, I probably would be fine with the i5, but I have no regrets. Combined with an SSD my computer is extremely snappy, and those extra threads are nice for background stuff like my anti virus. Keeps everything feeling responsive.
My computer probably hates me with this 8800GT right now. It's funny to play a game, turn up the graphics settings a bit, get maybe 20 fps, and watch the CPU usage nose dive.
I'm gonna try my best to get my hands on a GTX 670 4GB.
There are games NOW that can almost saturate all of the 2gb...
I deal with it on the PC, but if they do this on the consoles it will ultimately destroy one of the few things i respect about game consoles, and I wont bother with them anymore.
