As others have said, get the PS4 or XB1 if you can afford it. If you need to go with the older generation, go with the PS3. There are better exclusives on the platform (better in terms of metacritic score), and there are more of them as well. (unless you're a diehard Halo fan...then you'll...

The gpu temps look good - between 65 and 70C during gaming. Of course the temps drop when the issue occurs reflecting the low utilization. I could try flashing the MB bios. Worth it to rule some things out. Thanks for the suggestion.

There are 3 elements on the CIELAB color scale - a scale that is used to quantify color: L - a single value that represents lightness a - a single value that represents red/green b - a single value that represents blue/yellow These 3 values are visualized (plotted) in a 3D space on an x...

Hello all, First off, my system: i7-4820k processor @ 4.5GHz GTX780 Ti SC x 2 in SLI 16GB RAM 1000W power supply 30" Monitor with native res of 2560x1600 So the issue I am having is an intermittent issue with my graphics cards performance. I have yet to go through any formal troubleshooting...

Your monitor and graphics card determine the maximum resolution you can play natively at. I play at 1600p. :)

Not sure what you mean by "does it matter if you run a game on medium or high settings". Run the game as high as you can, but yet achieve a stable 50-60 frames per second. That way you're optimizing quality for the highest performance. With that card, I'm sure you'll be able to achieve mostly...

I primarily am a pc gamer. But I do play consoles for exclusives. I have PS3 and Xbox 360 so I am loyal to no specific brand. For next gen, I have pre-ordered PS4. IMO, Sony historically has better exclusives so it was an easy choice for me. Include the recent marketing campaign debacle...

^^ Yup. What do you prefer playing? Large scale maps with plenty of vehicle warfare? Or tight, fast-paced infantry maps and a bazillion killstreak rewards cluttering everything up? (heh, guess you can tell my preference) Also, do you prefer more team based style of game play (objective game...

Something doesn't sound right with your system. BF4 ran fine for me after they released the patch after the first couple of days (nearly equivalent to how my system runs BF3). If your system runs BF3 fine, it should run BF4 fine - maybe a small drop in fps at similar settings. Did you update...

GFWL isn't being supported any longer. Chances are this is causing your issues. They are converting from GFWL to Steamworks DRM. Try to activate your game on steam. Neither of my Arkham games worked anymore and Steam gave me new copies to download with the Steamworks DRM. They now work...

I'm in the same exact shoes. PC gamer with a relatively high end pc, but console game for the exclusives. I am definitely keeping my preorder. Not because it makes any sense, but rather because I'm a foolish early adopter who just has to have my new toys right away. I do want to play...

As others have said, run the settings that support your native resolution with an acceptable frame rate. Running lower than native often looks blocky and blurry, and increasing other effect settings won't do much to remidy that.

I actually think that the "next gen" console releases coming up will also trigger a flurry of "next gen" pc games. Obviously pc doesn't have discrete "generations" like consoles do. But since the architecture of the new consoles is more closely related to pc's, I think developers will have...
