Geforce GTX 1060 Thread: faster than RX 480, 120W, $249

Coming from a GTX760 with 2GB of RAM (that runs the games I play perfectly fine, but struggles with newer AAA titles), I think there is no case for the GTX1060 3GB, and even less for the 6GB version. I'm probably gonna buy the RX 480 later this year, I really don't think I'll get much better...

Crappy whining capacitors

I've had coil whine before, when I didn't know what it was. I found that often, kicking the equipment helps for a little bit. Titling it also works sometimes. But usually I take it as a piece of hardware that needs to GO and die in a fire. Being poor means that only happens when it actually...

Win 7 or 10?

I have Windows 10 at work and Windows 7 at home. My advice is, unless you want that specifically requires Windows 10, go with Windows 7. Never mind the price. Windows 7 is worth it, even if its extended support will end in four years (which is what you want to worry about anyway). However, if...

Farcry and Uplay

They were not made by the same company. Far Cry 1 is Crysis 0, the predecessor to Crysis, by Crytek. Far Cry 2, 3 and 4 and all the rest are just sandbox shooters done by Ubisoft Montreal, the same studio that does Assassin's Creed, Tom Clancy's shooters and Watch Dogs.

Why are graphic cards not getting cheaper?!

Meanwhile, I'm sticking to my GTX760, which is doing the rounds two years after purchase... I'm liking the read though, great stuff in here :)

Best gaming mouse

Exactly the same as me. The G502 is a very good improvement over the G500. They're also durable mouses and the software is astonishing, and it's by far the best productivity improvement I've had in ages! Just having the multiple configurable buttons, it's brilliant! :EDIT: I currently have the...

Thank you very much for this very clear answer to my question. It bodes ill for the future of bleeding-edge PC gaming though :\ Oh well, que será será... But it does mean that I'll have to shell out a considerable amount of money in the near future, if my recording needs grow as I expect them...

Why are graphic cards not getting cheaper?!

That is true, but the GTX960 is listed at 230 and it's basically 10% faster than the GTX760. I know what you're saying, but the next reasonable upgrade from a 760 on the nVidia side is a 970. And that's listed at a whopping 375. :\

Why are graphic cards not getting cheaper?!

So, I bought my GTX 760 almost TWO years ago no. I paid 220 for it and it's been serving me well. Now. Why is still being sold for the same price, TODAY? I know about the law of diminishing returns, but can that be all that it is? Are new cards just not that big of an upgrade that they...

I don't understand Twitch?

Which gaming laptop to buy?

My tip is this: if you can find a gaming laptop at HALF it's current market price, then you should buy it if you want mobility. BUT, if you don't want mobility, you should NOT buy it, even if it's at half the price. Get yourself a cheap ATX tower and start buying the parts and assembling them...

Gaming on PC?

I sympathize with your argument, but bunching up "gamers" all in one group is wrong. There is a real, tangible distinction between PC games and console games, a distinction that goes beyond how easy it is to play on consoles or on PC, where you seat or the size of the screen or the control...

What's with the infestation of Skype in multiplayer gaming?

You must not play games where voice chat is relevant. Voice chat in Counter Strike is essential, and it's built into the game for that reason. I imagine any MOBA style game is similar in that regard. Apart from that, coops and colabs for youtube need some sort of voip solution, and probably...

Yeah! Like Minecraft! I guess that says it all, doesn't it? It's fabulous. And after you're bored with the game and you've finished and whatnot, you can get mods and extend the lifetime of the game even more! It's an absolute gem, for sure!

If you don't force yourself to upgrade from XP, you'll be forced by either hackers or the manufacturers or the software houses. Drivers won't work, software won't work, and your info will probably get stolen sooner or later. Good luck!

This, pretty much. Diablo is a rogue-like, a dungeon crawler, NOT an RPG. And I'm sorry if that definition also includes Final Fantasy. Sorry if I burst somebody's bubble, that's also not an RPG either. If you don't role-play, it's not a role-playing game.

Potato, potato... That's funny, because Doom came out in 1993, and Diablo 1 came out in 1996... And nobody said Doom lacked demons. In fact, Diablo 1 could just as well be a first-person dungeon crawler, like the DOZENS of first-person dungeon crawlers that existed for 20 years, like Akabeth...

Turn based and real time with pause are two completely different things. Heaven and hell different. You have to look at the budgets. AAA games cost hundreds of millions to develop, and sell maybe 10 million copies. A good turn based RPG costs maybe 5 million to develop and if it sells 500...

Fat chance of that. I was there when it happened, in 2004, when Bethesda bought the rights and started development. In fact, I actually shared a few emails with Pete Hines about them creating a Fallout themed game, before they announced the purchase of the IP. But by then they were already in...
