    Buying an iphone on release vs buying one around black friday?

    If you want a deal on an iPhone, buy last year's or the year before that year's model. They're basically the same thing. All that you will miss out on is a slightly improved camera, screen and possibly battery life. The experience will be basically the same. "Holiday Special" does not apply...

    Who's making moves to get ready for the new release of cards?

    I have a 2070 Super and will be keeping it for the foreseeable future. Something tells me the talks of "90% improvement over Turing cards!" will only apply to Ray Tracing and DLSS, of which about 5% of games actually support right now and for at least the next couple of years. My current card...

    The End of Blu-ray

    Physical media will be around for a long, long time. One day, though, it will be gone. Probably when everyone has access to gigbit internet. Personally, I'll continue to buy 4k Blu-ray for the film's I love, as long as it exists, as streaming cannot compete with the quality and it doesn't...

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    Sounds good. I had a good experience last time with Acer when I bought an XB270H 1080p refurbed from them. Other than a few scuffs on the bezel, the display is flawless which lead me to think this would be the same. I think a lot of it is the sheer amount of returns for the XB270HU that...

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    I bought a refurb XB270HU from Acer for $600. Big mistake I guess as it seems they're simply sending out returned units that work but have all the issues people have been returned them for, horrible light bleed, dirt under the panel and dead pixels. This one had them all. Build date was...

    GIGABYTE GA-Z97N-WIFI LGA 1150 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    Anyone using a Corsair AIO cooler with this mobo? I installed a Corsair H60 on it but it seems to be touching the caps around the cpu socket and not getting proper contact so my temps on my Pentium g3258 are in the 70s at stock. I don't have a whole lot of options as to how to mount it, but...

    Verizon Galaxy S4 16GB with accessories $210

    Upgraded to a different phone so this is no longer needed. Phone is in near mint condition with the only wear being minor case wear on the back and very minor blemishes on the screen that can't be seen unless you're looking for them with the screen off. Comes with a really nice Carved wood...

    Don't recommend loading a HDD full of shovel ware Steam Games

    Yep. As long as you have those files, all of them, reinstalling steam for a new HD or OS is easy. I think it's kinda dumb the way they have that setup but it is what it is.

    290x or gtx 970?

    That was the deal breaker for me too. I upgraded from R9 270 Crossfire to a 970 and the difference in drivers alone is night and day. Nearly every game had some glitch with it graphically. And many games I play had no Crossfire profiles at all. I realize Crossfire had something to do with...

    Amazon Prime $72 for the year (normally $99/year)

    Great, I let my Prime membership lapse in December since they upped the price and also my state started charging tax on Amazon. I'll take it back again for $72, it's worth it for the streaming services alone.

    GSYNC worth it?

    It's totally worth the cost if you do a lot of gaming with your PC. I never thought a monitor would make that much of a difference in your gaming experience, but it truly does. Not having any tearing or input lag at high refresh rates is just unbelievable till you've experienced it. Games...

    Galax GTX 970 Hall of Fame

    Honestly I'd guess the benchmarks are within 5 fps of each other or the same, it's trivial. The choice comes down to looks and price. The Galax would look really nice in an all white based build where as the G1 looks great in any build. My only complaint with the G1 is the lack of an RGB...

    Acer XB270HA 27", 1080p, g-sync, 144Hz

    Just an update for anyone interested in this monitor. I got my refurb unit on Monday and it's mint. It had some residue from the plastic film on the bezel from when it was new but it cleaned off easily enough. The screen is perfect. No dead pixels, no light bleed or anything of the sort...

    "some claim that AMD is close to the grave"

    They'll be around for a long time to come, but they have to innovate to compete. If there's something that's going to bring down a giant semiconductor like AMD, Intel or nVidia it'll be lack of innovation in growing markets. Right now the mobile market is surging and the way I see it it's not...

    Acer XB270HA 27", 1080p, g-sync, 144Hz

    Somehow I snagged a refurb of this monitor on eBay for $350 directly from Acer. Almost seems too good too be true but from everything I've seen and verified it's legit. Last one they had and the other's sold for $499 so that was odd. Can't wait to get it to go with my 970! Feels good to...

    That drive is garbage. Spend the extra $20 or so and get an 840 EVO, you'll be glad you did.
