Dookie, I was wondering the same thing. Why does the G-sync only support 100/120 OC while the Freesync is 144? I mean, we've seen 100/120 for a long time now, why doesn't this "new" monitor hit 144?

I guess "they" have decided 32" monitors are a thing of the past, while raising 27" monitor prices to that of the old 32's. I have not seen any announcement of 32-ish sized monitors, so I guess I'll have to step down to a 27. Bummer.

Now only if Dice and EA would take this stance, we could have a clean Battlefield game. Instead, we (on PC) have had nothing but cheat-fests in their games for years. And no, I don't think BFV will be any different.

Anything to reduce the price of video cards would be great. I remember when I thought $500 was a lot for top end video cards, but now you pay $600-$700 for them. Now with RTX 2080 prices possibly at $1000 and $1500, something has to change. Because this is getting ridiculous. Good luck...

I love how the author of the article labels this "Trumps' Trade War" when it is the result of horrendous decisions of past presidents for many years past. The US has been getting bent over for so long due to past bad decisions that it's way overdue to be corrected. Seeing political bias on a...

This is good news, but only if game makers support mouse/kb in the controls. We've all had crappy console port controls on PC, and it is a disaster. But if the game makers include proper mouse/kb controls and the ability to custom map controls to any key/mouse button, and display those...

Does turning off your phone stop the tracking, or is it on even when the phone is off? If it's on as long as the battery is in, my tin foil hat says that's why cell manufacturers have been all changing to non-replaceable batteries. Go go gadget police state.

...and by retail availability in July, you mean Nov/Dec, like when the 1080 was 'released', right?

Hopefully, it has better availability than the constantly non-existent Logitech Powerplay charging mouse pad.

Hey guys. Good info, and thanks for collecting the list. However... 8/24 games are 5 hours long. 6/24 are 12 hrs long. I don't consider that "meat on it's bones", although that is better than a 30 min tech demo I guess. Of the remaining 10 games, 6 are not a racing sim. Those 6 games are...

Amen brother. I am about to quit visiting Toms' Hardware with the auto play video in every article that chases me around the page.

I guess I give up on waiting for a 4k, 32" or greater G-sync monitor at >60hz. Even though the 1080 has been out 1.5 yrs and can handle it, the market must just be too small for manufacturers to make them. Bummer.

I don't think it's too cool to list a CPU you can't buy. The 8700K has had non-existent availability since launch. No, that's not Toms' fault, but a note about it in your description seems appropriate.

I 100% support any company that perma-bans cheaters. No second chances. Cheating in PC multiplayer games is rampant, and stopping it (or reducing it really) is required for anyone to want to keep playing the game. If the company determines they made a mistake, then of course remove the ban...

I have *got* to be missing something. All I see in the articles from the Oculus briefs is: 1. 'Strap a phone to your face' unit that allows you to play crappy phone games with cartoon graphics. I get some folks are into that, so, ok. 2. No announced successor to the rift. Next chance at an...
