Well, Fallout 4 was garbage, 3 was passable, Skyrim destroyed what remnant of Morrowind's complexity that Oblivion clung to. Dishonored was okay. They're getting worse and worse. Not all that hyped for DOOM, especially considering they adopted the loadout system for MP.

It's not a Nvidia-sponsored title. It's a Gaming Evolved title, featured on AMD's website. It's also confirmed to use async compute. The 770-290 comparison is insane nevertheless.

That same link shows the 9590 gaining about 20fps by overclocking from 3.0 to 4.5. This makes it perform about as well as an i5 in GTA5, in particular. Here's another CPU benchmark showing more extreme results for Fallout 4. Keep in mind that FO4 is poorly optimized for gpu usage, so this...

Depends on the game, really. GTA5, Fallout 4, and the Witcher 3 in certain areas, for example, can be a bit dependent on the CPU. MMOs tend to be, too. So, you may feel a bit of a bottleneck there. Here's a quick example showing about a 9fps difference between an 8350 and a 4690k...

I don't think this is aimed towards to the DIY PC gamer market, though. This is probably going to be marketed to those with the cash and without the know-how. Especially with the advent of VR that requires a chunky PC to function, I expect we'll start seeing a lot of powerful rigs made up in...

Here's another bench showing a somewhat cpu intensive game. You stand to gain about 10fps in GTA 5 and over 20 in Fallout 4. http://www.techspot.com/review/991-gta-5-pc-benchmarks/page6.html Here's an older LoL bench, showing a slight CPU preference as well...

When I upgraded from an a8 5500 apu with a discrete 760, to a 6600k with the same 760, I saw a huge performance increase on a lot of my games. Shadow of Mordor had a playable fps and Smite went from dipping in the 50s to a constant 100ish on high The idea that cpu doesn't effect gaming...

To clarify, I definitely would NOT just look at memory bandwidth, GFLOPS, memory/core clocks, etc. That information is near useless when comparing real-world performance. Of course specs affect performance, but they don't tell you anything by themselves. Benchmarks, and comparing different...

Absolutely reinstall the OS. What settings are you using for FO4 and GTA5? Completely maxed out on either, especially maxed shadow distance/god rays on FO4 and if you're maxing all GTA5 advanced settings, you can expect to dip into the 40s occasionally.

There's a LOT to take into account if you're just comparing GPUs by spec. What I recommend is simply taking a look at the hieracrchy chart like kyzarvs says above, and looking up benchmarks. Assuming you're gaming, make sure you look at more than just one site's benches, though, because they...

The experience of 21:9, especially for gaming, is absolutely spectacular. Devs are starting to support 21:9 natively, and even if they don't, there's a ton of community help out there. The width is also incredibly useful for video and music editing, and great if you're a browser tab ho (like...

Haha. Awesome! I'm happy for you. Finally finding a solution does give quite a rush. Enjoy your night.

I like my Logitech G710, very responsive for about $70.00, with macro and media keys and a volume wheel. But, if you don't care for blue switches, really clicky but offer great feedback, then obviously a no go. Have you tried reds, blues, and browns? Just a tip, try to avoid any of the ones...

Nvidia inspector is a program you can download. Just search for it at guru3d. here's a quick guide http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:NVIDIA_Inspector

What resolution are you playing in? Do you actually NEED to use SLI? Have you tried using only a single card? The GeForce forums report that any SLI causes stuttering. https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/780519/alien-isolation-sli-profile/ Also, my god. That rig is hilariously and...
