God of War (PS4)

Haven't posted in forever, but this game was so awesome I wanted to add my praise to this thread. From the pacing to the plot twists, the beautiful graphics (I didn't even play it in HDR, just 4k mode), and the tight gameplay, this was really a masterpiece for me. I don't usually 100% games as...

Forza Motorsport 7 & Gran Turismo: Sport

Physics seem fine to me, it feels just like any other Forza. Played the Spa endurance in the R-class Corvette and it was an absolute dream to drive with all the assists off. I usually don't like endurance races, but they put it on one of my favorite tracks ever -- combined with how beautiful...

Fallout 4 - it's official! Coming Nov 10, '15

Is there any way to check the level of companion approval? For example, I just had an interaction with Codsworth where he approached me to talk about how much he missed me and how he's part of the family etc. etc., but after that I still don't have his Robot Sympathy perk. I assume this...

ECS H61H2-I3 does not shut down or sleep

Strange problem that I'm pretty sure is being caused by the mobo. Board in question is paired with a Pentium G860 and 4GB DDR3 1333. When the PC boots and when it's running Windows, it's incredibly snappy and stable, but when I go to shut down or sleep, the monitor signal cuts out as normal...

Problems with new 660 Ti

Having issues with this board and a 660 Ti FTW. When the 660 is installed, the system won't post from either the onboard gpu or the 660. Monitor stays in sleep mode and does not detect a video signal. When the 660 is removed, the system boots fine off of the i3 3220 integrated graphics. The...

[Amazon] PNY GeForce GTX 670 (VCGGTX670XPB) - $369.98 AR !!!

I had a PNY GTX 280 that died after the 280 went EoL and it was immediately replaced with a GTX 285. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from PNY.

Nice, finally been looking for some higher speed sticks to move off of 6x1GB. These should last me until I move to a new platform, too.

Never bought from them before, do they just give you a key like D2D that I can then activate on Steam? EDIT: Yep, that's how it works. Got it all ready to go on Steam!

$350 off Dell Vostro coupon!!! (ends 7/29)

Hmm, what's the most powerful gpu you could stuff in there? I know it says it has a 350W PSU, but I have no idea how strong it is. EDIT: Did some Googling, found out the PSU is 18A+16A dual 12v rails.

DEAD: Quasi-hot(?) Antec KUHLER H2O 620 $54.99 FS @Amazon

It's decent and it is quiet. However, I don't know if it's just my bad luck or this is just the way these things are, but I've RMAed one for horrible noise from the pump (cavitating due the air they leave in the lines, most likely) and the replacement isn't much better. I have it running at...

DEAD:OCZ ZX-1250W Power Supply $170.00 after $10 MIR @ Amazon

This. The difference between this and the AX1200 is not worth mentioning given this thing's price. Is it the same? Ok, I guess not, but come on, let's not get carried away. The posts in here make it sound like the AX1200 is in an entirely different league.

DEAD:OCZ ZX-1250W Power Supply $170.00 after $10 MIR @ Amazon

I have noticed the noises as well. It doesn't seem to persist during actual gameplay, though. Only during startup movies and the first few 3DMark tests. And most importantly, it's silent on the desktop. I'm also running SLI, btw (2x GTX 470). EDIT: Anyone else's make an audible "click" when...

DEAD:OCZ ZX-1250W Power Supply $170.00 after $10 MIR @ Amazon

Got it installed, the modular-ness is sweet. Only problem is the 8-pin ATX 12v cable is much too short to be properly routed behind the mobo. Not too much of an issue as it can easily be corrected with a simple 12" extension cable. It's also very quiet, which is a nice bonus.

Yeah, when I bought it from "Amazon LLC" there were 6 left in stock. The only reason I hesitate is I ordered another item and it shipped already, so I'm not sure what's with the delays on this PSU.

That's a bit vague... what's "a bit improved" numbers-wise? Could it play BC2 at 1366x768 at high settings, no AA and still do 60fps?

I have the same spec-ed laptop except an HP. The 5650 is, when OCed, enough to play most games at 1280x720 and med-high settings, no AA, some AF. For example, CoD BO plays at 1280x720, everything max except shadows off, no AA, max AF, constant 60fps.
