    Looking to buy a PC, will this run BF3 in ULTRA with HD?

    No that wont run ultra. I have a 2500k @4Ghz, 8Gb RAM, SSD, and 6950 and still cant run everything smoothly on ultra.

    just cause 2!

    I think you need to look at that review again, it is rated better then 30% of all games, not 30%. Metacritic has it at an 84. Also, you don't seem to understand how the black market works. You are not given ammo all the time, if you want ammo you buy the gun again from the BM. As for porting...

    Best value Z68 motherboard to get?

    Beware of the Gigabyte GA-Z68P-DS3, it has no VCORE adjustment. I am running my 2500k now with it but can only moderately overclock it.

    What's your goal for your SO's Christmas gift next year?

    Nice additional info. I figured that a relationship would need to be a bit more stable for the multi-thousand dollar gifts to start dropping. But if he can afford to buy someone a 15k watch for shits who am i to say otherwise. I personally wouldn't, but its not my money. Also, Rolex's look...

    Video Game Exchange Thread Interest Poll

    So our thread for trading Steam content was closed and directed to the game trading thread in FS/FT. But im not sure how this will work. The rules in that thread clearly state: Also would trading coal, coupons etc be allowed in that thread? I think we should at least have a dedicated steam...

    Atwhat settings will my system play BF3?

    I think the biggest problem will be the 1gb of vram that your card has. You will probably need to keep things at high or below with MSAA off. I have a 6850 2GB and keep my settings on high because i cant notice a difference between it and ultra.

    New to PC gaming; need some help

    I dont think you need a special keyboard or mouse but they can be nice. I would get a new mouse first an then worry about a "gaming" keyboard if you want one. Something simple like a Logitech G400 mouse is not too expensive and has a few extra features that are very useful.

    You can just get COP. They are all good but if you dont want to buy the pack COP is a good pick. The modding community released the "Complete Mod" that changes and updates a ton of features so make sure to check that out.

    Shoprunner Free for a year back again through facebook (Value of $80)

    I think they are hoping you like it and sign up after your free trial is over. Much like all of the prime free trials amazon gives out.

    PC Perspective makes a mockery of console ownership.

    1024x576 is a "standard" resolution for 16x9 576p content. Nothing wrong with labeling it as such.

    Where is the next guitarist who can stand next to SRV and Jimi?

    I would say that Hendrix and SRV are amazing but are a very narrow section of music. Hendrix was an innovator and changed the scape of guitar music but people continue to innovate. Trey Anastasio gets my vote for one of the best modern guitarists. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcjCncHXv6M -...

    Anyone else disappointed with BF3?

    The tampon rounds shred when they hit a fence, this is a known feature of the DT round. Their main advantage is the massive splash damage against infantry. I thought everyone knew this by now! :P :P

    Anyone else disappointed with BF3?

    DT rounds are unlocked at rank 27, check your loadout for the tank to make sure they are not equipped.

    Despite all the SF fever... tell me about Atlanta, GA

    Actually I spent more time in the Bluff then I care to talk about so NO im NOT a typical frightened suburbanite. Atlanta is not a safe or nice city, its a crap hole.

    Despite all the SF fever... tell me about Atlanta, GA

    Atlanta is a horrible city. I live north of the city and rarely bother to go. Its full of crime and homeless, is dirty and has no character. If you are coming from any "real" city like SF or Boston you will be disappointed. Its is not very walkable and the mass transit is laughable when...

    Anyone else disappointed with BF3?

    I am enjoying the game but its a bit shallow. I think i need to join a clan or something because right now there are too many assholes who dont give a damn. Jump in a tank and drive off without a gunner etc. Also no voice chat is just crazy. No commander kinda sucks, maps are not large...

    2 years in prison

    Most everyone I know that went to prison had access to phones daily. As long as you could afford their outrageous fees and get a phone card you could basically call people whenever you had access to the phone bank.

    I think the problem with your team not having markers over their heads is a issue with multi-monitor setups.

    BF3 smacks down COD

    I am really liking BF3 but there are a few issues that really bother me. First off, no voice comm is inexcusable for a squad based game. There is currently no order to this game. I never see orders on where to go or any kind of tight squad team work. Most of the time if i run out of ammo I just...

    No VCORE on GA-Z68P-DS3?

    Nice! Im hoping I can squeeze a bit more out of it in the future by disabling LCC and then by upping the DVCC a little. Right now this PC is on 24/7 so I would rather it use less power and run a bit cooler. I dont think I did any damage by running the system agent voltage at 1.3 for around 12h.

    No VCORE on GA-Z68P-DS3?

    I will confirm with SLK said, tried CTRL-F1 and it didn't unlock VCORE. Spread Spectrum is now disabled though :) I am running at 4Ghz now with a vcore of around 1.28 and temps holding at 60C. I ran prime for 12 hours without issue. Im going to keep working on it to try and get 4.3-4.5. I...
