Assassin's Creed Syndicate runs like a charm.

I'd just call the police, now, and let them sort it out and get the USPS involved. That's a federal crime and could have serious consequences for whomever did it if they can catch them. There's cameras everywhere these days, so you never know.

Does anyone know where to get a good HDMI cable for around $30? I need a 10 - 20 ft cable at minimum and I was checking out Monoprice and found this:

http://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=102&cp_id=10240&cs_id=1024019&p_id=13756&seq=1&format=2

Would that be a good purchase?

^^^That's exactly what I'm using from my desktop to my tv. No issues at all.

 

[turkey3_scratch]

When it comes to any sort of cable like so, I always buy the cheapest. I have uncountable cables, never had a single one break.

 

[Darkbreeze]

I've bought plenty of cheap cables in the past that failed at some point along the way. Usually on a Sunday when nothing is open to get a replacement. I don't buy cheap cables anymore. Especially networking and video cables. And by cheap, I don't mean the cost. I mean the quality, which is often, but not always, indicated by the cost. I wouldn't have bought that Twisted veins HDMI cable if I hadn't been able to find a pretty fair review indicating they were reasonable quality.

i need a 25'(maybe a little bit longer) hdmi cable that can handle 4k@60hz that i will be outputting from my 980ti. will those cables work?

i was reading these...
http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/hdmi-2-0-vs-1-4
http://www.cnet.com/news/4k-hdmi-cables-are-nonsense/

but they give somewhat conflicting information.

i totally understand hdmi 2.0 port info, both my 4k tv and the 980ti have hdmi 2.0 hdcp 2.2 ports. but what cable do i need?

it they claim a poorly made hdmi 1.4 rated cable may not even work for what its rated and a high quality hdmi 1.4 cable might do 2160p@60hz no problem.

otherwise for non 4k content any decent cable will work and as long as it has plenty of reviews and reps a regular 6,12,18,25ft cable should cost $5-20. but i dont know if that covers 4k@60 since most only advertise 4k@24 or 30.

 

[Darkbreeze]

I can't answer that, as I haven't made any attempt at 4k. I'm only using a 1080p monitor and television. They don't list that information on their little website, heh, little, but they do have contact information listed there so maybe ask them?

Anyone feel that 4.5 earthquake? It was confirmed that it was just Mike Trout taking Batting practice.

:lol:

No that was a pretty weak one where I live.

I thought it was where USAFRet just nuked another spammer.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

I haven't felt anything for the past week, but a week ago there was a small 1.9 or 2.9 near us. 5 seconds of small movements and nothing else.

 

[Darkbreeze]

I thought it was the H-bomb North Korea just tested underground yesterday, supposedly.

[tiny voices]

I thought it was the stomping feet of all the protesters in Germany after the brutal attacks/assaults on women there.

This is definitely GRAPES so I will not link it, but it's all over Google and BBC.

The world is miserably terrible place.

 

[Darkbreeze]

Thus, it has ever been, and ever will be. Also, I'm not sure that GRAPES applies outside of the moderator areas.

 

[Mirakledba]

Tiny & Breeze - Thats very very VERY deep....wow...Sadly I agree lol.

I thought it could have been Thor swinging Mjolnir again. Or maybe Vision, you know there's a new king of Asguard. :lol:

Samsung introducing 8K 98" television. Holy smokes.

Price'll probably be $100,000.

I'll take three! I could have the first 24K setup! :lol:

Four Titan Z's.... 8 Titan Cards... you would need a couple of power supplies..

You could have a whole array of these powering Titan Z's and maybe a couple of boards running 5960Xs powering them:

Hey man if I'm paying $100K for those types of displays, I'd expect no less than 10,000 frames per second. :lol:

 

[turkey3_scratch]

If you're spending $100K on this baby, you could easily spend $50K on a PC rig. Too bad there are no Xeon E5 dual boards that I know of that would have 4-way SLI, because 2 32-thread Xeon E5 would be insane.

 

[Mirakledba]

Haha that makes the 65 inch Curved 4K Samsung TV we got on black friday look like crap xD

We also got a curved sound bar!

Turkey - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXOaCkbt4lI Or you can spend 30k on one....IRL.
