    Reverse deal - Sell your $160 RX 470 for $350-$400 now on ebay.

    Microcenter in Rockville, MD told me they would have 570s and 580s today. I showed up in the afternoon. All gone. Apparently multiple people were waiting in line for the store to open at 10am and cleared out all the inventory immediately. Screw that.... At this point I think it is...

    My new HT Video

    Nice work. Personally I would take the receiver off the bottom of the rack. I would be afraid of kicking it, dust, or even reaching any of the setup buttons.

    HP Omen 32" QHD Monitor - 2560x1440, 5ms, 75Hz freesync, VA panel

    Will this monitor (or any of the HP 32 inch monitors) accept a 4k signal from the PS4 pro? I understand the display itself doesn't display in 4k, but I am wondering if it will downres the 4k input coming over the HDMI 2.0 input. 1080p from my OG PS4 is diplayed slightly blurry so I am looking...

    HTC Vive Outselling Oculus Rift 2:1, Claims Tim Sweeney

    I figure I'll buy the next generation of PC VR. If I had to buy now, I would probably get the Oculus in order to have access to all the stores. However, the lack of content and sales on the games concerns me. I guess I'm too price sensitive.

    Need Help with AMD HTPC Part Selection

    Do not get Windows 7. It is only officially supported through 2017. Who knows it will get any other updates other than security after that point until 2020. I would recommend an upcoming Kabylake system. It will have native support for HVEC and 4k without a separate video card. My...

    PSVR Launch Sales To Be In The “Hundreds Of Thousands”

    I have a PS4 and a nvidia 1070. Can't decide which one to get. I think the PS4 is more likely to have game support from the major devs. All I see on Steam's VR store seems like tech demos and indie titles. Of course oculus or Vive will look better. But I wear glasses and don't have a...

    Cheap Seasonic 550w, 600w and 650w PSUs.

    Based on a Silentpcreview of the Seasonic S12 550 and 650 (consumer versions of the Ops PSUs?), I am thinking the only difference is the that the 650watt unit has a higher speed fan and perhaps different PCI-E connectors.

    Cheap Seasonic 550w, 600w and 650w PSUs.

    Picked up the 550 for an older system. At $21, I figured "why not?". I don't think going to 650 would make any difference, and at $30 plus thats closer to the price I would want to pay something that comes with a warranty.

    New HP Omen 32" QHD Monitor - 2560x1440, 5ms, 75Hz freesync, LFC, VA panel = $343 shipped

    I have the Envy 32 version with freesync. Same panel with similar specs plus speakers. FYI: Your refresh will be locked to 60hz unless freesync is turned on. Treat this as a 60Hz monitor unless you have AMD cards. I was never actually able to get freesync working on my monitor, and...

    Almost Half Of All TSA Employees Have Been Cited For Misconduct

    I would expect a lot of the misconduct relates to using sick leave as vacation time. That seems to be ongoing issue with many TSA agents. I'll bet most of the infractions are not performance based but more mundane issues.

    480 doesn't support freesync yet? What!!??

    New cable did not help. No change. Reset monitor to factory config, turned on displayport 1.2 and gaming mode. No Freesync yet. I'll try contacting MSI.

    How to locate a cheap GTX 1070?

    Picked up a Zotac 1070 Amp extreme for $420 from Jet after Shop10 code.. It's "processing" right now but will most likely ship from newegg. Was tempted by the Strix due to built in case fan control, but it went out of stock right before purchase.

    Is 3570k @ 4.5Ghz good enough for GTX1070?

    You're fine. Overclock if you can. You won't be CPU limited in many games if you run at 1440p or higher. At 1080p you might be cpu limited in some games, but likely V-sync (60fps for most monitors) would kick in before that happens

    Am I better off with 1070 strix or 480+ free syn monitor

    I tried both a 480 and 1070 with my 1440p freesync monitor. Being able to crank all the setting or let geforce experience set things was liberating. Still cant get freesync working on the 480 and latest driver didnt help. I am planning to get a 1070 with good cooling like a strix or zotac...
