    What was your most significant CPU upgrade?

    My biggest jump was from an Athlon XP 2500+ (Barton) to an overclocked i7-930. That was humungous.

    WCCftech: Memory allocation problem with GTX 970 [UPDATE] PCPer: NVidia response

    I have to echo this sentiment. I have been considering the options, one being going back to the retailer and asking for a return/refund/store credit. However, in this regard, retailers are just as much a victim here as the rest of us. Is it right that the retailer will take a monetary loss by...

    WCCftech: Memory allocation problem with GTX 970 [UPDATE] PCPer: NVidia response

    Part of the problem is that, at least at launch, the 970 was priced between the 280X and 290, even though it's performance was between the 290 and 290X (if not tied or better than the X in some cases). Now, of course, is a different story with pricing. In my case, as stated in another thread...

    Should you be compensated for the GTX 970 issues and spec changes?

    I voted "yes" even though I don't know what they could do to satisfy me. I spent countless hours troubleshooting my system trying to find out why it would top out at 3.5GB on my 970. I repaired installed windows, fresh installed it, installed on new ssd's. Did firmware updates on every...

    anyone here order the MSI GTX 970 4GD5T?

    ^^^^ When you first stated you couldn't hit 1500, I'm thinking it's funny we are disappointed it won't go over 1500. Just a couple years ago, no one was getting 1500 without exotic cooling and some hacks to over volt. Then you stated you got 1505 and I thought, whew, now we're talking and...

    anyone here order the MSI GTX 970 4GD5T?

    Yeah, you're right. Since it is still under warranty, I did go and open a ticket with Asus. Wow. Two of the 970 Gamings? That's going to be nuts.

    Well, add me to the list. Ordered a 970 gaming last night. Still do not have an eta as it has not yet shipped but I am impatiently waiting. Originally, my list of contestants included the Evga with ACX cooler, Asus strix and the MSI gaming. The Evga dropped off as soon as reports of the...

    So instead of enforcing your server rules you tell anyone who complains to just leave? And keep in mind, during the whole match people were complaining about the grenades yet nothing was being done about it by the admin.

    This is a great idea. For people who are concerned about their k/d ratio, it would be an incentive to stick with your squad or teammates (unless running as a medic) and hopefully encourage more team play instead of all the lone wolfing that goes on in pub matches.

    You know, some admins are real a-holes. My score was about mid-pack, as the game is fading to the results page, I get an admin post stating I was moved for balance. And did I mention I was moved to the team that lost the match? What kind of bullsh!t is that?

    That's interesting. They did a dead mans grenade in bfp4f. If anyone one was near you when you got killed, boom, you took them out also. But, I don't know, seems kinda cheesy for bf4 to do it.

    Have you seen the updated Metro map? The video was captured on an XboxOne in rush mode.

    I noticed that too. It was like that during the beta and figured it would be resolved at retail. It doesn't matter how you exit the game either, it always takes forever for the game window to close.
