As a casual gamer who already has BF1 but rarely plays, is it worth purchasing the Premium Pass for $7.49? Do most other online players have the DLC?

This may be my next phone, if for no other reason than Apple's insistence on only allowing Apple Maps through Apple CarPlay. A 3.5mm headphone jack is icing on the cake.

bump! going on ebay soon if no takers...

What about leaving the IO on top but having them behind a small door, e.g. like on the top of some Lian Li cases: This would allow for the cleanest aesthetic IMO and keep the ports free of dust.

price drop bump!

What was throwing me off was that my user stats showed points/work accumulated, but when I checked my name under the team page, it showed nothing. Since the team stats update less often than the user stats, there was a discrepancy between the two, and I was worried my points were not being...

My apartment was chilly last night so I make an account for WCG and started running BOINC. I’m signed up for Team HardOCP ([H]sonyman) and see points getting assigned to me but nothing when I check my name under the team heading. Is this normal? Does it take time for points to be assigned to the...

Morning bump!

There are plenty of cases with full 5.25" or slim drive bays which have both a radiator mount and a sleek aesthetic, although my own personal experience is rather limited. The case you linked is rather nice looking, supports a 360mm radiator, and is inexpensive, but I'd consider other options if...

That or a similar AIO might be a good option for you as long as you have a case with the proper mounting location for the radiator. If you're traveling with your desktop, something like the NH-D15 I mentioned above might not be best since Noctua advises removing the heatsink during transport due...

Personally, I'm a big Noctua fan. If you're not looking for a significant (or any) overclock, and custom water-cooling is not in the picture, the Noctua NH-D15 (and its predecessor, the NH-D14, which I personally use) is an excellent albeit pricey option, coming in at near $100. You'd be...

Almost, but not quite. That motherboard's specs indicate it supports M.2 lengths 2242, 2260, 2280, so you can use either a SATA or NVME (PCI-E) M.2 drive which is M keyed and is one of those lengths. I stumbled across this page when looking for more information which appears to be a good...

I recently upgraded to X299 and no longer need these parts. They were in-use in my own personal computer and saw use for occasional gaming and streaming use. The motherboard supports 802.11ac wifi and Bluetooth via an included external antenna. It is capable of booting from an NVME boot drive...

The heatsink mount is physically compatible with coolers designed for LGA 2011. However, it's still a good idea to verify compatibility with your motherboard e.g. in terms of PCI-e slot clearance and with the TDP of the processor since for some models it's higher than it was for LGA 2011.

Yes, you are correct, and it additionally appears that the effect may be noticeable. For example: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Zotac/GeForce_GTX_480_Amp_Edition/27.html However, with a sufficiently high power limit, even accounting for the reduction in leakage, the card may still end up...

How so? If the card's performance is being limited by reaching the thermal target, but it's not yet reached its power target, better cooling will provide more headroom and allow it to draw even more power while simultaneously increasing performance. If, on the other hand, the card is limited by...

Awesome! I was looking at this model just this weekend but was hoping it would go on sale this week since it had been on sale in the past. Just pulled the trigger. Thanks OP!

The reference cooler is never a bad option and is the one best suited for the largest possible configuration space due to the inherent trade-offs of a blower. I'm not a fan of EVGA's own air coolers (although I've never owned a card so-equipped) but their warranty service is top-notch, speaking...

My guess is that Nvidia is waiting for AMD to reveal their cards before launching the 1080 Ti.

I'm in the process of RMAing a dead GTX 1080 FE through EVGA. This thread reminded me that it's best to do a cross-ship RMA if for no other reason than to be able to inspect the replacement card with the original card still in-hand. Hopefully it goes smoothly.

I imagine that there's probably a significant price premium to the 16Gb chips, as well as the fact that going to 24GB would set a precedent and virtually necessitate that future Titan cards also be 24GB or greater to help incentivize people to continually upgrade.

It has a 384-bit memory interface vs. the GTX 1080's 256-bit interface. Nvidia appears to be using the same density but added 4 additional chips.

I imagine the people getting pissed about no longer having the fastest card are the same people who are offended when AMD's cards improve from new APIs like Vulkan.

Same here. An improvement, but Nvidia needs to go further to resolve this issue.

I have a Galaxy GTX 670 GC 4GB as well as the original box to ship it in. Does this interest you for $100? PM me if it interests you. I have all positive heatware under sonyman. Edit: Saw your location on heatware. Assuming this is accurate, shipping costs should be reasonable.

I know this is an old thread, honestly I do. However, seeing as the OP is still active, and that ASUS just released a BIOS update for the X79-Deluxe, I decided to see what changed in the new BIOS (4805) vs the previous BIOS (0902). Lo and behold, it appears ASUS added NVME support, so while I...

C) Efficiency and build quality

I'm pleased with the Kingston HyperX FURY memory I chose for my recent build. I'm using 4x4GB modules but they make 8GB modules as well. I'm running it at 1866MHz/1.5V without issues.

That should work fine.

You need to initiate an RMA with the manufacturer of the card, not Newegg or Nvidia. Edit: Looking at your post history, if this build contains the card in question, it looks like you need to contact EVGA. See here for details on their RMA procedure.

That depends on the card vendor. It used to be that lifetime warranties weren't all that uncommon, but these days it's usually 1-3 years.

My GeForce 6800 Ultra AGP. When the industry moved to PCI-E there really wasn't an upgrade path for me without rebuilding my system, so I kept using it until I had the funds for a new system. I would lower the settings on an as-needed basis. It's since been retired.

It's definitely still worth playing but cooperative play is a big part of the game. The difficulty of the game scales with the number of players, as does the quality of the loot; replayability is also a factor since you can play other players' campaigns.

It looks like you can get the complete edition for $10 if you're after the DLC as well. Also a good deal. http://slickdeals.net/f/7570194-borderlands-2-complete-edition-pc-digital-download-for-9-50-at-macgamestore?v=1

Gross exaggeration. I run all my games off my 2TB hard drive. Load times are longer than on an SSD, true, but they are still quick. OP: Buy as much SSD as you can afford, and supplement with HDD.
