    Kingpin Sets Three New 3DMark World Records With EVGA 980 Ti Kingpin Edition

    Congratulations to K|NGP|N. There is definitely some serious skill involved in something like this but what does this mean in real world terms? I will never own a GPU that costs as much as this one, much less use liquid nitrogen to cool something, but I still find the benchmarking and...

    Has anyone tried the 3M privacy filter?

    some of the people in my office use those. I can tell you that even perfectly centered and looking at it directly in front of you the quality of the picture will degrade slightly. The best way I can describe it is to say the display will appear darker/dimmer and softer. It is still perfectly...

    Question about external drive when copying data

    individual files yes. The programs no (more specifically you could in theory but it isn't worth the effort). If you just move your Steam installation for instance from x: (or whatever your external is) to c: it won't function properly because when it installed the program Steam it...

    ps3 controller not working well

    I can't speak to the software you are trying, but I use a physical device from Mayflash and it works flawlessly: http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-PS3-Controller-USB-Adapter/dp/B00DSFW5MA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1438200264&sr=8-1&keywords=ps3+to+pc+adapter -edit- I just noticed you said Windows...

    Why We Won't Install Windows 10 (in its present form)

    I can't say I'm surprised. I'm glad I still have some Windows 7 licenses for my home computers. I'm guessing it will be around the time of service pack 1 before Windows 10 has enough updates and fixes to be worth the "upgrade". So that would be what, Fall of 2016 maybe? Luckily, my IT...

    Could i use an old computer case to build a new gaming PC?

    Short answer: Yes you can use it. longer answer: A case is just metal or plastic in a convenient box shape that holds all of the good stuff. What you can fit inside is another issue all together. It is a mid sized ATX case so it should fit most things but it isn't specifically set up for...

    Computers Can Now Replicate Handwriting

    One of my High School English teachers told me a schizophrenic with Parkinson's and broken fingers could write better than me. But on the plus side he let me type all of my assignments. Google has no hope of replicating my "writing".

    Triple Monitor Angling Setup

    it's more personal preference and hardware limitations that will determine the best angle. You might have to play with the angles a bit to get what you consider a sweet spot. Looking at my current triple setup I would say my outside monitors are at about a 30 to 35 degree angle from the...

    mail in rebate?

    mail in rebates are pretty common. If you are buying from one of the vendors listed on pcpartpicker you should be fine. Sometimes it is the vendor offering it or sometimes it is the manufacturer. Either way, you establish proof of purchase (i.e. a receipt), fill out a form, and either write...

    Nintendo Of America CEO Iwata Passes Away At Age 55

    Think about how often you hear about corruption, abusive practices, criminal activity, etc. when reading about CEO's or any other prominent figures in any business. It is so rare to see someone in such a position being so universally loved and respected. He took pay cuts. He continued to work...

    Confirmed: Microsoft Office Universal Apps Launching Along With Windows 10 On July 29

    I don't know about short term, but Microsoft has more or less confirmed that their ultimate plan is to have office be completely subscription based at some point in the future. That being said their goal is still market share. They may be willing to take a loss on Office to make sure that...
