    Fallout 4 Performance and Image Quality Preview @ [H]

    Thanks Kyle and Brent! Nothing like some old school manual tweaking to get that vsync going, and who knows what other support features could be enabled that way. Looking forward for the bigger review!

    RAID Strategy with 8x 6TB Disks

    For a similar sized, 6x6TB drives, internal RAID6 array, what RAID controller card would you guys recommend? I have been looking at the Areca 1882i, and i know there are a few others out there that can do a similar task. Or is it even worth getting a RAID6 card these days? Thanks!

    Your video card time to upgrade criteria?

    Used to be every other cycle, or when money allowed for it. Not as much need now, to be competitive you actually need run lower graphic settings, so upgrading was a waist of money. And so many games out, can't play them all so no point buying them on 0-day, might as well wait for sales, and get...

    Intel Devil's Canyon: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly @ [H]

    Slightly disappointed, but not surprised. Was also looking to upgrade, but i guess one more year the way it is isn't a bad thing. Kyle, thanks for the review.

    GTX 880 and 800 Series to be More Powerful But Cheaper than the 700 Series

    I'm just happy that the 20nm production is picking up. Was getting worried that we would have to wait another year or two for the 20nm parts and the next iteration would simply be 28nm with added architecture, or revamped architecture. That's what some of the rumors a few months ago were saying.

    Best upgrade from GTX275

    Just putting what i think you want and what people are saying into perspective. If you want to have best performance for the buck, go with with a 280x or even a R9 290 (can be had for under 300 in some cases). But then you will need to spend some time with your computer and make some driver...

    R9 prices coming down?

    Haven't been following the trends too much, but anyone know why the R9 suddenly fell in price? Also, between the Asus, Sapphire and XFX, any suggestions on which card to get? The NV 780s are a bit too rich for my liking still, but i do need a quite card, and both the Sapphire Tri-X and XFX...

    Is 290 better than GTX 780?

    Question is popping up, the 780s can be had for $520-550, while the R9 290 (non x) can be had for $400-440.. go with the R9 290?

    Sword of the Stars 1

    The first SOTS was Epic, almost a MOO sequel I would say. They really messed up SOTS2 though.. just plain wrong. Talk about butchering a perfectly good concept that people loved.

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance

    Thanks for posting, this game looks amazing, if they can pull of the combat system to be similar (or better) to Mount & Blade, that would make this an Epic game!

    any noteworthy phones in the line-up this Spring?

    If youre looking for a smaller phone with excellent (probably the best) battery life, looks at the Sony Z1 Compact. I'm been following it. Lots of memory (expandable), pretty good camera, the best battery of probably any android phone (or iPhone) and it's submersible. Don;t know about you...

    what would you choose?

    Depending on the type of games you're looking to play. The boobs you can not only play with, but also sleep on and they keep you warm (the R9 290 can also keep you warm, but only if it's working as a heater).. so win win.

    290/290x availability thread

    That's the beauty of 1440p, you don't need much AA since the pixels are so dense, its AA through pixel density. So yes, you can do 120fps. But even lower FPS just look smoother on a 120hz monitor.

    24inch 1920 x 1200 true 8bit ips 6ms or faster with glossy screen for 300ish?

    for 300ish, go with the korean 27" 1440p, they can be easily overclocked to 96Hz (or 120Mh if you're lucky). You don't even need to turn on any AA at that resolution.

    PERC6 controller PCIe slot issue

    The motherboard is having a not working RAM slot so i was RMAing it. Wait, both the link you provided and myself are saying its an I card, or am i missing something??? The card works flawlessly for years (running on 3 years for me), so the card itself isn't a problem.

    ASUS R9 290X DirectCU II OC Video Card Review @ [H]

The heavy metal is the best Highlander, but the 733C is almost the same. The Dual...
