Thanks thats good advice.
I also use Blender a lot (3D modelling app) and moving vertices feels so much better on 3D with 144hz like you mentioned with ArchiCAD.
I ended up picking up the card I linked off Amazon sounds like it will do the job. Has the right ports and does 4K @ 60 so I'm...
@96Firebird
The most common thing people forget is how awesome the mouse pointer moves on the desktop with 144hz. More than just gaming benefits from the 144hz refresh.
I have 2 extra 144Hz monitors (go figure right) and got used to this at home on my gamer box that any time I'm moving a...
TY
Yes thanks just 24" 1080p I forgot that part. I was under the assumption if a spec says 4K @ 60Hz that 1080p would support 144Hz.... is that a proper assumption?
HELP!!
I am going bonkers trying to find a simple dual DP low profile GPU for my corp desktop at work to support 144Hz driving (2) 24" monitors.
Any help is appreciated....
So far I was looking at this but it's not clear if it drives 144hz...
Hello,
Long time I've been away from this forum but I consider this the go-to place for opinions and respect all of your input. So with that said.
As you can see in my sig that my current rig is still very playable but I can't quite resist the new tech so I am building a $5K system that I am...
Damn my head's spinnin... I think I'll wait. I need new hockey skates and some other crap anyhow! I guess I'll milk the 280's some more.... it plays fine.
As of last night I downloaded some drivers off Guru3D and was able to push the distances to the max on all sliders and run the ENB...
Thanks for the responses.
I know the 7000 series and the 580s are overpriced to me....
I did a bunch of reading and found the EVGA GTX560ti 448 Core Classified.... for $299 on newegg. It supposedly overclocks very well and can match or even best a reference (non-OC) GTX580 which is $300...
Hey all,
I'm currently running GTX280 SLI setup... the main game I play is Skyrim right now and loving it. My current setup does fairly well in Ultra texture settings with tweaks obviously to distance and other settings.
I am running a post FFXA injector which makes lighting/shading so much...
Thanks, I'm thinkin Skyrim next week mainly.... obviously I'll see how it runs on my i920 and current SLI setup and then make a decision. I agree on the philosophy of if it runs my games leave it alone...
Just wondering mainly where GTX 280 sli fit in performance vs. current single cards...
I have GTX280 SLI in my system and I'm still seeing pretty darn good perf in all my games at 1900x1080. If I go with a single card solution which is the one to go for?
I've been AFK here for some time and feel out of touch on what's the latest greatest... and wondering if now is the time to...
I was on one of those boycott MW2 groups until a friend literally begged me to get it and initially I loved it until the hackers just rolled in. I really wish I stood my ground because generally I will not pay more than the $49.99 and I rarely even pay that with the way Steam has been the last...
Borderlands is great for a couple play-throughs. It's not that good solo and the real fun is with 4x players it's got just the right challenge level/feel with 4 people.
Solo is WAY too easy.
The first content expansion was VERY lame. I'm not happy about the direction the game is...
Good Point. But eventually people start to vote with their wallet. Screw up bad enough, and you don't buy the next product offering. I know I sure won't if this doesn't get resolved.
EDIT: Didn't see so many replies before I headed out for lunch:
Agreed.
It is a discussion that can go on forever... many different camps of players:
-The hackers are all over in every game!
-I've played 5,000 hours and encountered 2 hackers.
-It's just a good player quit whining...
I would be happy with a vote/kick as others have stated. I'm not a stat monger by any means but it does suck to take a loss to leave a game where there is a hacker. Ultimately I'd like IW to lock down the game from hacking. But that's probably asking too much since they are probably...
I am so disappointed. Been playing shooters since Wolfenstein 3D. I can hold my own, been in plenty of clans etc during the past 10+ years but in COD MW2 it's OUT OF CONTROL.
Take a look at youtube and there are tons of video clips of aimbotters, wallhacks, etc.
One sample...
Why the !@#$ is every Activision game on the PC sold for $59.99 when they come out? This single point of sale greed along with their new abandonment of the PC community decision to run with that hosted matchmaking service for COD MW2 totally sent me the other direction. I'm sure this has...
Well I caved and took my 26" Vizio back to Costco when they had a deal on the Vizio 32" 120Hz HDTV.... and it's truely a brilliant screen... gaming has never been better for me. Exactly what the doctor ordered!
But.....The text at 1920x1080 on the desktop and in applications is FUBAR! It...
This was why I bought the Radeon 9700 Pro back in the day :) nVidia fan here too but when you are ready to buy, the best card is going to get your dollars unless you are just a stubborn fan that refuses to accept reality.
I have a friend that is Fermi this Fermi that... well I'm sure it...
great game, agreed. Can't wait for the Diplomacy expansion pack.
If you haven't done so yet be sure to get the Entrenchment expansion pack which adds starbases etc to the mix.
Google "Celestial Bodies" mod and find the updated for Entrenchment version which adds many more planet types...
I stopped buying monitors and TVs online with Costco's return policy and extra year warranty. I bought a Vizio 26" and had it 80+ days decided I wanted a 32" Vizio 1080P 120Hz HTDV as my monitor and went back with the monitor, no questions asked gave me a $317 instore card to use on the tv...
Starting to feel this yet... still fun.
Freespace series I never got to try aren't they too old now?
Independence War 2.... gonna check it out.
I still don't understand why there hasn't been a Freelancer 2.
THANK YOU! I finally got to sit down and play DS1 and OMG this was the insane space shooter action pack I was looking for... simple and fun. Every piece of the game is fun. Love it. And $9.99 to boot. :)
X3 I like too, I spent about a few nights getting to about $3million and a few...
hehe it was a patience problem... a lot of things in X3 are not very well explained very well, next to no tooltips that provide REAL game statistical information on an item, save for the female voiceovers just giving a generalized idea what it is. 1/2 the ship upgrades have next to no...
I will advice you. (hint: "please advise") I'm not normally someone that pokes at grammar on forums but there is this lady at work that sends out a daily email "Please Advice." .. and seeing it for like 5 years has driven me insane so I couldn't resist to let that out on you, my appologies :)...
I'm all over the place lately with PC issues..
So I'm about to tell Creative to go stick it and buy a Asus Xonar D2X sound card. I am sick of the odd random "WTF!" BSOD that comes with the X-Fi.
I was using the onboard sound without problems with some cheesy low end Altec Lansing speakers...
X3....I don't know if I am just missing something obvious but ....
I took the manual to work skimmed through the whole damn thing while building servers bla bla bla... and felt ready to play when I got home.
Fired up the game... understood more how to get around BUT....
4 HOURS LATER...
Always do. My issues usually are pushing the clocks and then get a BSOD that happens both in SafeMode and Normal Boots. Fine before the OC but then wham something just goes bad datawise.... and I say "why me?" LOL! Why can't I just leave it at 4GHz!
Overall a thumbs-up experience on current code, however I would agree on the old being terrible.
I made a Pally and played until 50 and started raiding APW and found the game very beautiful and had a lot going for it....
HOWEVER there was a ton of give-and-take on my part accepting many...
LOL, long story there. But highly doubtful as sex was still frequent and damn goood. But the neglect factor was def sinkin in and once I saw her making myspace pages and reaching out for attention and seeing all the signs of a marriage starting to fail... I quit cold turkey and never looked...
NO WAY... places like GameStop etc will let you think this is true by having bastard shelves for the "DEAD PC" games.
The method of distribution is about the only thing you can expect to change. STEAM / IMPULSE are signs of this. The piracy argument is getting old and not holding much...
ELITE on the Commodore 64. That was SO much game for the day. If you remember that game you are old just like me. :(
Wing Commander OMG! 6MB! This game is 6MB installed! That's like 10% of my HD!!!! WoW!
Privateer... totally missed out on that one, friend had it.
Freelancer was...
I was a terrible WoW addict and could have easily been one of those news features on crazy dude "never came out of his room for 2 weeks, wife can't find him last seen at starbucks with laptop on Raid" so I'm a bit shy of MMOs now. LOL
I got hot wife and wasted 4 years of her 'mid 20's' playin...
