I got my ACER Xb270hu and it's AMAZING, but the new resolutionis a bit taxing and I'm getting FPS in the 30 - 60 range. My 200 mod skyrim is 25 - 40; SoM: is 40 - 60, Heaven gets around the same. I play games from all around and Witcher 3 and Arkham Knight are on the list. I like my eye candy...

Strictly in reference to the Overlord Tempest, but it's been on this list for the past three months, yet has anyone noticed that it is unavailable for purchase? What good is having a monitor on a top list if you can't get it?

I did forget to mention that the Swift does have a minor back light issue. I'm doing 60% gaming. ASUS RMA process sucks and I don't want to deal with them if I don't have to. It's an $800 monitor, I shouldn't be making excuses to let them off the hook at my expense. If a company don't make a...

This is what I'm currently running: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/pK2y3C I will only do 27" 1440p and will only do store pick-up, so no ordering from Korea. I also can't wait till end of March/April for the new monitors which may not even be available immediately. So, my choices are what I have at...

LOL, I'm definitely NOT advertising, just sharing my experience.

I’m sitting right now with two monitors in front of me: Pictures for your reference:http://s246.photobucket.com/user/Jones_indiana/slideshow/Dell%20U2715H%20vs%20ROG%20Swift The ASUS ROG Swift – needs no intro! Dell U2715H – 60Hz, 1440p Running off a i7 4790k with a GTX 980, I was able to...

So I got the parts to my build and it never occured to me to check RAM compatibility. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/BCShak/saved/CKnMnQ According to this list, http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z97%20Extreme4/?cat=Memory the RAM I purchased is not supported by my motherboard. Should I be...

Considering this announcement, and assuming it's legit http://www.techpowerup.com/209719/radeon-r9-380x-based-on-grenada-a-refined-hawaii.html The difference between the 290x and 380x will be moot. I know it would be best to wait for the 390x but thats much later in the year. The 380x is...

Hey All, So I finished my build, save for two parts: The GPU and Monitor http://pcpartpicker.com/user/BCShak/saved/CKnMnQ After reading this regarding the AMD 3 series: http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/amd-radeon-r300-grenada-is-380xfiji-is-390x-and-bermuda-is-395x2.html I'm leaning towards...

After looking around and doing some research, I think I will be settling on this build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KDVcjX Primarily High-end gaming (little to no Overclocking); some Internet surfing, office work and watching videos. The PSU May be overkill, but I want the option to expand later...

Hey there, I recently paid a visit to Microcenter to look at cases. I wanted to see the Air 540 in person. And while I really liked the case, it was bigger than I thought. I then saw the Air 240 and immediately thought about how awesome it was. I love the compact size and that I could keep...

Thanks for the Reply. I also want to mention that I don't have any intention to Overclock. I may consider it later and if I do, it would be only slightly.

I don't like tower PC setups. I remember when desktops were standard. Then towers came in to save space but I've always felt that having the mobo horizontally was better for the components. I was ready to buy the HAF XB Evo until I saw the Air 540. The Air has the same setup but more room, which...

so nVidia works smarter. but when the cards are on full load, the power consumption should be comparable except the AMD still uses more juice. At least as shown in this site http://www.forbes.com/sites/antonyleather/2014/11/27/leaked-performance-numbers-of-amds-r9-390x-should-nvidia-be-worried/...

Reading the reviews of AMD vs nVidia chipsets, the cost of AMD would make it a more bang for buck card, however I noticed that the power consumption of say the R9 290X is 2x+ that of the GTX 970, yet the 970 is considered the better performer. Extra wattage means more heat, it also means a...
