    Asus ROG Swift PG278Q vs Acer XB280HK: Help meh. Can't decide.

    Rakewell, go to this site: http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/monitors/asus/ and pick it up. It looks like it has been going in and out of stock (quickly). Your local best buy and Frys might have it as well. I went to my local Frys to check out 27" WQHD, 27" FHD, and 32" 4K (something I...

    Asus ROG Swift PG278Q vs Acer XB280HK: Help meh. Can't decide.

    In addition to everything else here, one thing to consider is the amount of real estate you have for your resolution. For example, I went from using two Dell u2412m (IPS 24" 1920x1200, pixel pitch 0.27mm) to using one of those and a rog swift (27" 2560x1440, pix pitch 0.233mm). When I drag...

    GTX 970/980 owners thread

    finally got my Msi Gaming GTX 970 set up with my new Rog Swift. Sad to say, I am getting coil whine whenever I play a game. I was playing league of legends in borderless mode (120hz lightboost mode, since gsync only works in full screen, and borderless doesn't count). Whenever I was...

    Cancelled my "should probably maybe ship in a week or so" amazon order and picked up an MSI 970 gamer from newegg this morning :) Thanks!!

    GTX 970/980 owners thread

    I haven't had an nvidia card since the 8800gts but on my ati card I can set different fan percentages by temperature. Couldn't you just do that for the G1? I changed my order to the MSI after the previous comment but now you're making me waver :)

    GTX 970/980 owners thread

    Thank you! Just chatted with an amazon rep. She said that the G1, MSI gaming, and the Strix should all be in stock within a week and that I should go ahead and order whichever one I want to ensure I get it. So...is the consensus the MSI? :) good mix of o/c and quiet idle?

    Upgrading from radeon 6970. Edit got the Rog Swift!

    Thanks for the input. I have the asus p8z77-v-pro which I understand supports SLI in case I do go with two 970 (I read about some of the asus p8z77s only doing crossfire and not SLI).. I went ahead and ordered the msi gaming from amazon for 359, the customer rep said it should become available...

    GTX 970/980 owners thread

    hey all. Just picked up a rog swift from Frys last night. Have the opposite problem of some of you, I can't find the 970 anywhere! Should I be checking anywhere other than amazon, newegg, tigerdirect, ncixus? Frys had store shelf space allocated for the evga 970 but said they probably won't...

    Upgrading from radeon 6970. Edit got the Rog Swift!

    Picked up the Rog Swift. I couldn't resist, even though the 3200PT was on sale for $585 at amazon (now $611). Just need to pick up a video card now. 970 seems to be out of stock everywhere, except the Zotac, which I've never heard of and will probably pass on. Should I just get the 980? The...

    Upgrading from radeon 6970. Edit got the Rog Swift!

    Thank you, that was extremely informative! I'm surprised that the input lag and response time is so low for your monitor, despite the size and the fact it isn't TN. I'm curious, what video card do you use to drive your current monitor? 30" though, that seems kind of big, but maybe it could...

    Upgrading from radeon 6970. Edit got the Rog Swift!

    Hey guys, I'm debating upgrading my fairly old MSI Radeon 6970 to the GTX970 (or something else?) CPU: i7-3770k Display: dell u2412m (24" 1920x1200 monitor) (planning on getting another or two). Have a Corsair HX620W psu I bought a long time ago (I assume this is sufficient)? Play...

    Gaming midlife crisis

    ScummVM! I played some of the oldies (like Indiana Jones fate of atlantis and The Dig) on my Ipad1. I share the same feelings as the OP (mid 30s now). 70 hours on civ4, 40 on xcom eu, nothing else more than 10-15. I tried replaying the snes final fantasy, and I wondered how I dealt with...

    League of Legends - F2P MOBA (like DOTA) part 2

    Hey guys, I'm looking for some people to duo ranked. I placed into silver 3, immediately dropped to silver 5, hung around there for a while, and just worked my way back to silver 3. I moved from the east coast to west, so I don't really have anyone to play with. I can't skype unfortunately...
