No more PhysX and Gameworks!
Don't blame you though. Counting the extra 250 for blocks, shtt adds up. Every upgrade costs 1500. One reason I don't do Titans anymore, that was a 3k upgrade after blocks and back-plates.

I may change my mind later and just go with the best, but I am little weary of the expense. I'd go back to all-air cooling if it weren't for the noise.

Haven't noticed the sound on them at all for my Skylake. Best money I've spent on cooling to date.

Yea, only reason I really water cool. Can't take GPU fans making noise.
The expense every 1.5yr is getting old. I'm really just tired of upgrading.

Do we know pricing on the AMD cards yet?
Posted on 5/24/16 at 5:06 pm to DoUrden
No, probably not until Computex reveal on the 1st. Although AMD is hosting a closed door reveal a few days before Computex not sure they will be allowed to release much.

Went with the LG wide. I'll let you know how I like it. If I don't, I'll send it back and get the 1440WQHD.
Thanks for the info.

Why don't you get full access to new drives that aren't boot drives, am I doing something wrong? My 500 gig SSD only formatted to give me access to 465 gigs.
Posted on 5/25/16 at 8:40 pm to DoUrden
Yeah, I noticed that with my game storage SSD I got recently too.
512GB but only 476GB available.

HDD companies just use decimal base 10, so they treat 1GB as 1000MB, a MB as 1000KB, and a KB as 1000B, etc. Windows uses binary, where 1024MB = 1GB and so on. What you really have is a 500,000,000,000 Byte hard drive, even though 500 "Gigabytes" would be 536,870,912,000 bytes in binary (500GB x 1024MB x 1024KB x 1024B). If you divide 500,000,000,000 Bytes by (1024MB x 1024KB x 1024B), you'll see that 500 billion Bytes = just over 465 binary GB.
Sneaky hard drive companies... If arguing semantics, though, the HDD manufacturers are correct in the way they advertise sizes, because they are using the SI prefix (metric), whereas the binary prefix is actually supposed to be read in terms in kibibyte (KiB instead of KB), mebibyte (MiB instead of MB), and gibibyte (GiB) instead of GB. For the super anal-retentive, it's technically incorrect for Windows to read the space in binary and report it with metric prefixes. Too late to change that now, probably. Seeing GiB in Explorer would be weird and confusing.

This is why "normies" make fun of nerds - it is stuff just like this.

These "Normies" sound like pretty lame.
Posted on 5/26/16 at 9:46 am to Ace Midnight
Yet they rely on people with this knowledge to make shite work. I wish I had the kind of knowledge that some of you on here do, but I don't exactly fit into the "normie" category either.

The term nerd is so silly. I take it as a compliment. Pride myself in the fact I have a little technical and/or working knowledge in multiple fields.
Plus i'm on so much damn Anavar ATM, i'll pound my point home to anyone that thinks otherwise.

I hooked up new LG ultra wide and is talked software, now my desktop is missing files and it looks as if I just reinstalled Windows or something. Mozilla now has none of my bookmarks and acting like its the firstvtimebim using it.

Same. I'm not even sure I fit the definition of a nerd, if you consider a nerd to be single-minded -- all-in on one particular topic or area of study. I know a little about a lot. Not just tech. Art, music, creative writing as well. I like to acquire knowledge that's easily translatable to skill. My downfall is lack of patience. If I don't have at least a baseline competency in a particular skill -- even if I've never attempted said skill before -- I don't enjoy it enough to continue. "Practice makes perfect" is just something you tell your kid before his brain matures and turns into an almost-full hard drive that's started to exhibit a disturbing clicky/grindy noise when you read or write to it.

Would need to know the in-game settings and in-game resolution it was running.

Can I hardwire my PC into a wireless router that is being used as a repeater? I won't have an Ethernet connection upstairs where the PC is going to go.
