Asus Rog Swift PG278Q

I've owned my Swift since August, and it is still running great.

Why is windows 8 still out there ?

Windows 10 is windows 9, it's just a name change.

Question on wired controllers for PC

I love my Logitech F710 wireless controller. It has Xinput as well as DirectInput configurations. There's also a wired version, the F310. Might be worth looking into.

2560x1440 with RoG Swift: single 970 or two?

Yep, that's pretty solid advice. I also want to ask the OP if he ever used a TN monitor before? The ROG Swift is definitely a great gaming monitor, but as it's a TN monitor, it does suffer from vertical viewing angles / color shifting. Basically, you need to be looking at the monitor from...

leanest free antivirus without popups

Bought Bitdefender, had too many issues with false positives and it was messing with legitimate applications. I went back to using MSE/Defender. It may be anecdotal, but I don't care, it's just my opinion afterall.... but I've never had any trouble with MSE/Defender, and I've never been infected.

2560x1440 with RoG Swift: single 970 or two?

As a person that owns the monitor, I can tell you that my single 780 Ti is plenty. I would assume the 970 would fare the same. G-Sync is more forgiving than double buffered V-Sync, because there's no breakpoints you need to hit in order to have consistent FPS. All you need is the power and...

Asus Rog Swift PG278Q

1. I'm not speaking hypothetically here. My experience is better than 60@60, since I'm always running higher than that. The situation where I'm less than 30 when someone else is 60@60 doesn't exist because of my PC specs. The point is, with Gsync, I don't need to pay any mind to anything but...

The benefit is having any game play smoothly while looking great regardless of the scene. I could be over here running a game during a 30 second scene 123@123, 122@122, 134@134, 98@98, 117@117, without even noticing the fluctuations. The game becomes more immersive and enjoyable because I'm...

World of Warcraft Warlords of Draenor on ultra.

Definitely quality components. 1000W is overkill for that system as it stands. You did well to choose SeaSonic as the brand though. I would back it down to about 550-650W. I'm a little curious about the add-in LAN card though, as your Asus motherboard already has Intel LAN which I don't...

Sorry, I forgot about that. Windows 8 doesn't allow (by default) 1280x720 only because it uses a minimum vertical resolution of 768. Games allow 1280x720 though.

I'm also getting the "Out of Range" issues in some games now. ManuelG of nVidia states that it's a driver issue for G-Sync in the 340.xx series that will be resolved in the next release. It seems it's not directly related to the monitor, but G-Sync in general. EDIT: So I noticed that my...

1. Both Windows and nVidia expose 1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x768/800/960/1024, 1360x768, 1366x768, 1600x900/1024/1200, 1680x1050, 1920x1080/1200/1440, 2560x1440 2. In addition to those, games expose 800x600. I don't think I'll see the need to use a lower resolution in games, because G-Sync does...

Asus Rog Swift PG278Q

While playing a game just now (Deus Ex: Human Revolution), the monitor was not warm to the touch on any portion. I don't know what the framerate is because I don't use monitoring tools, but it's fairly high, and I am running at 144hz with G-Sync. I have not yet experienced any issues like...

Asus Rog Swift PG278Q

I'm only using a single high end GPU (780 Ti), and my experience so far has been wonderful. With G-Sync, games feel very smooth as long as your FPS is high enough for you. Even though I'm almost certainly getting less FPS than before (going from 1920x1200 to 2560x1440), everything feels way...
