    Asus Rog Swift PG278Q

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

    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...

    Asus Rog Swift PG278Q

    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...

    Asus Rog Swift PG278Q

    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.

    Asus Rog Swift PG278Q

    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...

    Asus Rog Swift PG278Q

    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...

    Asus Rog Swift PG278Q

    Update: It seems the default gamma (on my monitor at least) was too high. Everything looked a little washed out. When I did a gamma test, it was about 1.8 gamma instead of 2.2. I had to reduce my nvidia gamma control down to 80%. Can anyone else check their gamma?

    Asus Rog Swift PG278Q

    I've had mine since Saturday. The only issue I've noticed with mine relates to the TN panel; that being vertical viewing angles. If I'm not looking at the monitor dead-on, the bottom is much brighter than the top, which is sometimes distracting. It's the first TN monitor I've owned, so I'm...

    Reinstalling Windows 8.1 with built-in product key...

    You are using an OEM version of Professional right? In that case, edit your Windows 8.1 install media to bypass entering the key until you're in Windows itself. Windows will accept your key, the installer will not. Go to the "Sources" directory and edit/add a file named ei.cfg This is what...

    Buying Dell Monitor

    I would personally recommend the Dell P2314H instead. It's cheaper, has a great IPS panel, with better connectivity. (DisplayPort, DVI, VGA, USB) $187.99 at Amazon

    Need a gaming monitor suggestion 24 or 27 inch

    Dell P2414H 24" AH-IPS with almost no added signal/processing lag, about as fast as IPS can be. Best Buy (of all places!) has it for $225.98 with free shipping right now. EDIT: I don't see reviews for this one, but the Dell P2314H seems to be similar except for the 23" panel size, but it's...

    1080p @ 120Hz VS 1440p @ 60Hz

    Honestly, the real question for me is not 1080p 120hz vs 1440p 60hz. The real question is TN vs IPS, and I prefer IPS. (Thus I voted for 1440p 60hz) Let me know when there's an IPS monitor that runs at 120hz for a reasonable price without some weird issues like image retention and I'll go to...

    Looking for some case/cooling opinions

    I changed the components in the OP. Upgraded the PSU to 1000W Upgraded the memory from 1866 CAS9 to 2400 CAS10 Changed the games drive setup to a larger SSD instead of smaller SSD + HDD

    case question for new build

    I don't have any of these yet, but after all my research and thread on these forums, I've decided to go with the HAF-X myself. So that would be my vote. From what I've seen, the HAF-XM is quite substantially worse at cooling multiple video cards compared to it's bigger brother the HAF-X, but...

    Looking for some case/cooling opinions

    That's a handy calculator. So, I crunched the numbers, assuming 1.3 max vcore (just in case), and added 30% to capacitor aging, as I intend to use this system 24/7 for 3+ years. I decided to switch the PSU to the SeaSonic Platinum-1000. I'm also strongly leaning towards the Cooler Master...

    Looking for some case/cooling opinions

    Availability seems to be an issue with the FT04. I may end up going with either the HAF-X or HAF-XM. They seem pretty well built for the price, with plenty of cooling options.

    Looking for some case/cooling opinions

    Thanks for all the input! Right now I'm leaning towards the Noctua NH-U14S for the CPU HSF, and Silverstone FT04 for the case. It's only slightly out of the $200 range I mentioned, but compared to the RV04 it just seems much better built. I have to admit, I like the idea behind those cases...

    Printer with cheapest ink refills?

    Back when I was buying a printer, it seemed the price of the printer usually inversely correlated to the price of the ink over time. The more expensive models would gain access to the larger/cheaper ink cartridges. I ended up getting an Epson WP-4530 and it's phenomenal. But I haven't looked...

    is the PS3 worth it as a non-gaming system

    The streams can be moved into the MP4 container. Assuming it's using H.264 for video, the other blu-ray players support Level 4.1, and the PS3 supports Level 4.2. Any stream type the others can play, the PS3 can do better. It may just not be designed to work with the MKV container itself...

    is the PS3 worth it as a non-gaming system

    For $150, I'd say it's worth it. A good quality Samsung or Sony Blu-Ray player that streams reliably will cost around that, and the PS3 is more capable than those.

    Windows 8 Is Not Good For Gamers

    Yep. Tablets have their uses, but I use a powerful PC because I need more out of my computer than a tablet can provide. I don't like to see sacrifices made, that I need to pay for, to make my experience worse in the long run. As a consumer, I'm interested in my needs, not Microsoft's. The...

    Using 6 channels audio on motherboard that doesnt have digital audio outputs?

    It only has three analog ports, and the configuration you would need to use in order to get 5.1 sound would be: Green = Line-Out / Front Blue = Line-In / Surround (Rear) Red = Mic-In / Center / Bass Unfortunately, in order to have 5.1 sound with this configuration, you can't have a Microphone...

    What isn't working in Windows 8?

    I only found one program that didn't work correctly on Windows 8, and that's only because the program wasn't updated for it. Other than that, everything seems to work fine right now. ASUS even had all the updated drivers for Windows 8 on their website, ready to go.

    Windows 8 Is Not Good For Gamers

    The UI itself is the biggest reason, but personally, I'm a little bit worried about their direction in general. The "desktop" environment is still in Windows 8, but they have already called it legacy when compared to the environment-formerly-known-as-Metro... I have to wonder if they plan on...

    Latest Guild Wars 2 GPU Performance Data

    You didn't know that the clock speed of the 680 is over 1 ghz already at stock speeds? In case you didn't realize, the 680 was released with a very high clock speed and is almost near it's maximum capability at stock without resorting to exotic cooling. The 7970, on the other hand, was...

    Final Fantasy 7 is out... anyone tried it?

    Assuming "always online" doesn't bother you, this port is arguably the best way to play it currently. EPSXE+shark with the best plugins or PCSX-Reloaded with the best plugins will not look as natural, but will sound better IMO.

    Final Fantasy 7 is out... anyone tried it?

    Strange issues that reviewer saw, that I don't see on my end. The assets weren't updated, but it DOES look superior (to me) compared to the console version. To me, it looks more natural than you can get it to look with epsxe+shark or psx-r with all the best plugins. The one issue I have...
