    Wanting to build/upgrade to a VR(Vive) machine

    Firstly, I’m on mobile so I apologize if the formatting isn’t correct. So my last build that I did was back in 2011. This is her right here. It’s held up very well over the years and runs modern games decently for being so old. It’s time for an upgrade, though, and I’d like to get the HTC Vive...

    Should I Upgrade?

    If I were to pick between a GTX 970 or an R9 380, which would be better for my current CPU/MOBO set up? The R9 is much cheaper. Would the GTX 970 give me better performance though?

    Should I Upgrade?

    Thanks geofelt that is really useful! I usually play FPS games and action games. Things like Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty, Half-Life, Portal, Arma 3, Mass Effect, Metro, Assassin's Creed, etc. Do you think my system as it stands would be able to handle the new Valve VR headsets that will be coming...

    Which wifi would be better?

    The devices we use for wireless are mostly our phones, a laptop, and an iPad. Phones are for general internet searching, iPad a few games with minimal speeds needed, and the laptop mostly for school work; my fiancé is a teacher. Our desktop which is used for online gaming is connected via...

    Which wifi would be better?

    Wow thanks a lot abailey! That helps out tremendously! So say I would get the 5Ghz wireless n that could get 105Mbps throughput, would I need to increase my 50Mbps internet in order to receive that functionality? If so, it would probably be best for me to keep what I have now correct?

    Which wifi would be better?

    And when I do a speed test on my iPhones wifi I get 23Mbps inside and 15Mbps outside. The reason I use my phone is because we just moved and I don't have the laptop out yet.

    Which wifi would be better?

    Our wireless is used mostly for internet use. We don't really transfer files at all between machines. At least nothing obvious I can think of. We pay for comcast 50Mbps internet. And yes we are in a fairly new neighborhood with houses all around us and are pretty close together. When I pull up...

    Which wifi would be better?

    Thanks abaily that was very useful. I didn't know they made a 5Ghz version. That was one of the reasons I was thinking of keeping the nighthawk. I wanted 802.11ac on 5Ghz. What I'm thinking I might do now is keep the set up and when I feel the need to upgrade get the 5Ghz version of the Ubiquiti...
