So I have an old 2017 Acer Predator x34 21:9. Still works but its old and IPS. I'd like to replace it with an ultrawide OLED. The problem is this year isn't that great for UW OLEDS as all the new screens are still 3440x1440. Late 2025 however we will start to see new panels in 4K in sizes 38"...

Hi all looking for opinions on these two laptops. I have a main gaming desktop rig so I really want something for the road that’s not too expensive, Thats why I have settled on the 4060 As a compromise. I want something in the $1500 range. I know these two are very similar, keep in mind the...

I wouldn’t recommend a MacBook for heavy MS Office use especially if someone is coming from a windows platform. We have both at work, and the Mac users constantly complain about it not being as friendly as the Windows version, especially Excel.

Hi All I am planning to buy one of the Asus Zephyrus models likely the G14 as I want something portable. This is a secondary pc for when I’m on the road. I have a full gaming rig which is my main so I don’t want to spend a lot of money as this will only be used a little. The real stumbling...

Hello All thanks for the responses. I solved it. Problem wasn't the R6400 (well it was) but the fix was actually on the ISP router. WAN port 1 on the Orangebox was the R6400 and it was listed as a unknown device. All I had to do was specify the Device as a WIFI Access point. I suspect Chas was...

Recently upgraded from ADSL to FTTH I have a Netgear Nighthawk R6400 connected Orangebox Router (Orange is my ISP) in order to provide wider range. After installation I ran speedtest and the data was all wrong I was getting 15mb download and 80mb+ upload. This is happening on all PCs and...

Its been a pretty terrible year for PC games. I didnt play Odyssey but it looks like thats the winner.

Rage or Rage 2 (when it comes out).

Battlefront 2, War Thunder Air Forces and Boats (giving GF some time off) and I think Im going to give RDR1 a try as RDR2 is not out yet on PC but looks AMAZING.

I get you are on a budget but gaming without a dedicated graphics card is going to suck. Anyway he can save up another 150 and get something decent or used? If not, he might just be better off with a PS4 and keeping the laptop. Cheaper too. I see a PS4 PRO RDR2 Pack is $399. Thats probably a...

FYI: Game is Free on Battle.net until Nov 17. I gave it a try last night, it wasn't too bad I dont get the flak this gets..

Battlefront II (which besides its flaws has some merit) and playing my Paladin in Pathfinder. Going to try and finish AC 1 (the very first game). I am a completionist so games take a LONG time to finish. AC1 is...OK. Its starting to get really boring and getting all the flags is bloody...

Umm I was thinking of getting this... I think I wait for it to drop some more til its about $20.

It would be helpful if you mentioned the system she will use Switch...Zelda XB/PS4..Kingdom Hearts (possibly PC too) PC - It depends on what she wants. Diablo 3 /Torchlight series for a ARPG, Stick of truth if she likes comedy, anything bioware or skyrim for something more serious. If she has...

I have a PS4 but I want this on PC so I will wait.

If I could make a suggestion for a upcoming game: UBOOT by Deep Water Studios. Its a cross between Fallout Shelter and Silent Hunter. Subnautica really isn't a submarine game, its a sci-fi deep ocean survival game that has subs in it. Still an excellent recommendation and there is an add-on...

Sadly I wont be getting it. The lack of a VESA socket is a dealbreaker. Any other suggestions?

Hello Again So if you remember my previous thread for a new primary monitor I wound up and got the x34P which is awesome which I mainly use for games. I also added a 1080 ti to run everything at x3480x1440 at full detail. Now I want to replace my secondary. This monitor is only for 2 things...

SH4 and SH5 for WWII, Cold Waters for Modern. There is also Uboot that is still in development which the one I am waiting on... Its a cross between SH5, Cold Waters and Fallout Shelter (as use have to manage your crew -make sure Franz doesn't burn the bratwurst or Karl is not too tired +...

When my officer is not punishing Rebel Scum in Star Wars BattleFront II, he's scouring the horizon for enemy tanks from the copula of his Sd.Kfz 234/3 (Puma) Armored Car in War Thunder. Oh practicing abit of rooftop parcour as Altair in the first Assassins Creed.

FYI, bought the x34p, will arrive tomorrow. My original plan was to triple monitor gaming, but it was too complicated. So mainly I game on 1 and use the other 2 for browsing. I plan to sell the 3 dells and the stand and get another monitor for the "other stuff".

Because it was late, I was tired, and missed it. Sorry. Currently running a: MSI Z87-G65-Gaming Intel i7 4770K 16GB of DDR3 ACER x34P (being delivered tomorrow to replace 3x DELL U2414H) 2x EVGA Reference 780 GTX (being replaced) and yes I know the MOBO/CPU/RAM are old and it might bottleneck...

Pretty much everything except for sports and MOBAs. I have a large library of 250+ games both old/new games and I alternate except for War thunder. FPS, RPGs Action games, and occasional strategy Right now its SW: battlefront2, the very first Assassins Creed, Warhammer, Bioshock Infinite...

Hello all I am looking at a single card replacement for my 2x 780GTX Sli to power my brand new x34p Ultrawide. I can get a Palit 1080 GTX for about 215 EUROS. Which seems like a good deal, however the monitor I have is a BEAST and I had thought about getting a 1080ti for it. I wont be...

So Just to let you all know...I went with the Acer x34p. I actually preferred the Alienware but I found a used x34p used (returned, opened but never taken out of box) for 702 Euros even. That was 300 Euros less than the Alienware. For that price that's a 1080 or 50% off a 1080ti. I felt the...

You think the difference is worth an extra $200?

Yes Sorry ACER. Fixed.

Me Again... Another matchup ACER x34p vs Dell AW3418DW. Now, I know most of you will say the Dell is better, and I am willing to accept that BUT...I found the x34p for 200 EUROS less. I also like the stand on the ASUS better because of its smaller footprint (important because its on a desk...

Its a tough call 4K vs Ultrawide. I really want G-SYNC and the 4K monitors with G-SYNC are extremely expensive. It also looks like 4K is more in need of a top tier graphics card (which is on my shopping list but not right away). I am lean ultrawide, unless someone can make a good counter...

I have a 3 x U2414H screen setup which I am not happy with. Right now I have 2x 780GTX which will be upgraded sometime later. System is mainly for gaming. Choices are 21:9 Dell AW3418AW or 16:9 ASUS PG279Q Both are G-SYNC, 1440p. Refresh is about the same (wont be OC). The monitor will set...

Hello Tech Gurus... I need your advice. I currently have 2x 780GTX with 3x Dell U2414H monitors. Never liked them, never liked the fact I couldn't use SLi with them, the extra heat and power, and I had all sorts of issues getting them to work with each other. I have had it. I want to change...

Hi Guys I have been using an older Devolo CPL 500mb adaptor since 2011. Its works pretty well (although its not as fast a gigabit ethernet). Again its older 5 years old technology. I see now they have 1200mb Powerline, do you think its worth the investment to change all my adaptors? Will I see...

Known WARHAMMER: TOTAL WAR. The Division XCOM2 Just Announced: System Shock 3 Rumored DESTINY for PC.

SWTOR didnt go F2P, it simply added a F2P model as an option, the sub model is still there (I am still subbed myself). EA has said that since adding the F2P/Premium player option the number of actual subscribers as increased substantially, (although actual subscriber numbers are a secret). EA...

For HTPC Full ATX/Desktops there is not a large amount of choice as ATX is not the standard HTPC size. That being said, I would recommend the Silverstone Grandia Series. SST makes some really nice HTPC cases. I won't recommend a specific model as they are all similar, so pick the one you like...

I just started NEW VEGAS. By the time I finish it this Fallout 4 will be in the bargain bin.

I heard the same argument about SWTOR. Predictions about its imminent demise proved to have been exaggerated. Secondly I wasn't aware PS2 was doing THAT badly, especially as its a 3 year old game. There are MMOs in far worse condition that are still running. The most popular IP on the planet...

Planetside 2, l like Dice shooters in general (on the fence with Battlefront) but planetside has much more depth to it due to its rpg elements and huge maps. Am somewhat disappointed DICE didn't do a Planetside style game with the SW license, but the darkside of the quick buck proved to strong.

Thanks for the info, but keep in mind that information from Data Mines can be misleading and should be taken with a grain of salt. Sometimes ideas/features etc get removed from the game but not from the code. Programming can be like pull threads on a carpet (you tug a thread and something else...

1. I never said anything about lack of content, I specifically said the game is too casual, not too light. The gameplay is too simplified for my tastes and that it gets boring quickly. For example: I don't like the unlock system, I don't like not having classes (I like classes), I don't like...
