    Need help with 4k IPS monitor choice

    Have you checked out the new Asus 4k 60hz g-sync that's coming out this Summer? This is the one I am waiting for to make the 4K plunge. http://rog.asus.com/393642015/gaming-monitors/ces-2015-rog-swift-pg27aq-27-inch-4k-lcd-with-gsync/ 27-inch LCD with super-thin bezel design and ROG...

    Best book for learning SQL, for a sort of a beginner

    I am going through T-SQL Fundamentals book by Ben-Gan Itzik right now: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0735658145/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 After that I'll study for the 70-461 using the Training Kit. There are so many good books out there, I almost feel like I should go...

    Ori and the Blind Forest

    This is my favorite game of 2015 so far. Haven't played Witcher 3 or GTA V yet, so this may change. Should still be in the top 5. Ori has an amazing soundtrack, that gives you this calm feeling even when you are dying a lot. ( I died 1300+ times). Usually not a fan or difficult platformers, but...

    GTA 5 to look way better on PC.

    Since you have to sign up and play through Rockstar Social Club even if you buy through Steam, GMG is a good deal IMO.

    I need a 4K IPS Monitor 27-28 inches

    I am interested in a 27-28" IPS, 60Hz with Gsync 4K display, so I can get that EVGA superclocked Titan X. Preferably before GTA V and Witcher 3 come out. I doubt a display like that comes out before mid Summer.

    Smite?

    I play just about everyday. It's the only game I have been playing since April this year. I am still a noob at Conquest, but have all gods mastered (except Sylvanus that came out today). Please add me. I am looking for a clan as well. IGN: Gigglinpig

    The AT Battlefield 4 F.A.Q., News, and Discussion thread

    Same. No more sound loop errors, and I have been able to play 2-3 hours straight without any crashes for the last 2 days. SLI/crossfire seems to be having lots of issues though.

    The AT Battlefield 4 F.A.Q., News, and Discussion thread

    Anyone else crashing on just the Siege of Shanghai map after the new patch yesterday? The game runs fine on all other maps.

    Assassin's Creed IV thread

    I'll try the vysnc fix tonight. I am having the same issue. In game v-sync caps the fps at 30, if I turn v-sync off the screen tearing is ridiculous. I tried lowering some settings to medium on my GTX 780, but looks like it's just a buggy in game vsync setting. Thanks Sho'Nuff for the tip.

    NV 780 GTX buyers remorse from AMD 290X card

    I agree. I think the R290X would need a water cooled solution to get any kind of significant overclocking performance out of it.

    NV 780 GTX buyers remorse from AMD 290X card

    Yes. Let's see those cards and what kind of overclocking/noise/heat/power performance they have compared to the super quiet "780 SC ACX' that I have right now, and maybe I will reconsider. I upgraded from a loud 7970 to the gtx 780, so I am not biased towards either company. It's strictly about...

    NV 780 GTX buyers remorse from AMD 290X card

    I bought a 780 ACX SC at launch, and have it at 110+ and 375+ memory offset. This is for an already factory overclocked card. It never goes over 78C temp. After reading the 290X reviews, and how it runs super hot, and stock cards have no overclocking room, I am not feeling any buyer's remorse...

    More information about R9 290X

    Damn. The GTX 780 feels like a bad purchase now. Time to sell the 780 acx, and buy a 290x once the custom factory O.C cards come out. I went from a 7970 to GTX 780. I have no brand loyalty. Back to AMD for now. :)

    ********BORDERLANDS discussion thread*******

    I am looking to buy this on Steam tonight. I don't have much time to play, but will gladly buy one copy if any of you have extra copies left over from the 4 pack.
