**OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

Just so everyone is clear, they changed MF in loot 2.0. MF only has 10% effectiveness on legendary drops now, making it practically useless in it's current state. People saying that they noticed no change in drops from 1.x to 2.0 are probably right if they were running high MF before.

Titanfall PC minimum specs revealed

I don't know what you guys are talking about... I had v-sync off and was getting 120fps strobbed. Maybe you had to disable v-sync in the video's control panel?

They are distributing it; have no power over content whatsoever. It's capped to your monitor's refresh rate. You get 120 fps on a 120 fps monitor, ect. There is a ton of misinformation going around forums about this game. Not calling anyone here out, but some people are just starting rumors...

Would playing Sc2 for a long period of time increase the risk of Carpal tunnel?

A ton of pros have had carpel tunnel surgery. Most terran players in fact, just due to the large amount of splitting and boxing. Off the top of my head I can think of MVP, Flash, and Bomber.

[GGPU.RU] 3GB of VRAM for Titanfall on highest settings

This game is getting a ton of hate. It's true that so far it's just a terrible console port, but I'm hoping they make some much needed improvements and at least put the fps cap to 120+. I'm running the game at 1080p insane just fine, zero stuttering. Hell, I get more stuttering in BF4 after...

It can, and has happend. I've got around ~1500 wins in arena so far, and sometimes you just get crazy unlucky 3 times for a quick out. RNG always catches up with you. Same can be said about the trash decks that I get to 8+ wins. Chance happens when you play non-stop :P

Suggestions on a purchase

I would stay away from the 290x, and look into either 2 290s, or a 780ti if you are looking for a single card. I'm assuming you are in the states, so it might take a while to find a card at retail. Even green cards are getting inflated now (780tis are close to $900 here in Canada through newegg...

How to test my R9 290 properly

For witcher turn off ubersampling. It is an Nvidia game, but it should run a lot better with that off. Far Cry and Blood (from what I've heard) don't run great on AMD, but I could be wrong. Metro is just an all around demanding game. High supersampling and such really push your card to the...

Hearthstone

Sometimes losses are just out of your control. If someone gets a great opener and you just happen to draw nothing but high cost cards, chances are you won't make a comeback. Sometimes I have absolutely amazing decks and have gone 1-3 wins. Drafting isn't everything.

Used to be speakers, then I got a pair of Sennheiser 360s. Speakers are still hooked up, but I never use them. even if I don't want to wear the headphones, I'll just turn them up and leave them beside me.

770 is a good card, and a great overclocker depending on the model. Personally I would go with the 770, but if you find a good deal on the 760 it might be worth it.

Hearthstone

The way to get decks and gold is arena, plain and simple. In arena, there is no pay to win. Whoever is better at making a deck and using it has the advantage (obvious card draw and drafting luck are a factor). With the new system, going 3-3 in arena is roughly breaking even (you will average...

[H] XFX 290x DD Crossfire vs 780ti SLI Review

The 780ti stock cooler definitely can, they just need a custom fan curve. I have mine set up to not go above 70%, and it prevents throttling with an overclock during extended games. This was, however, a stock comparison so I guess keeping everything on default was what they were going for.

[FZ] Radeon R290X cards on allocation - Demand higher than expected

There's a lot of sensationalism in that article, but it's clear the demand is higher than the supply for the 290 series. It could be from more than just the mining craze though. AMD might not have anticipated the demand and may have not binned as many chips as usual before launching.

You gave 3 reasons why you didn't like the looks of the game, 2 of them were completely wrong. The last one being that you thought the game was generic and didn't do anything new. I asked you why you thought that, that's all really. I guess that's railing.

You're playing unranked, which does not share your MMR rating. The people you are playing might be on unranked as well, meaning they are also in a different MMR then their actual. Unranked play is weird, in a sense that you could be playing someone who is much higher than you, but playing...
