Don't have the R4, but I have an Arc Midi R2 and can't complain at all. Have heard nothing but good things about the R4 and I have no issues with Fractal Design at all so I'd say go for it

Still on the hunt for a 970. Almost snagged one today but my checkout speed was too slow

Set up text alerts for NowInStock and you'll be able to order one quickly.

I had it set up for the GTX 980 and managed to get two. Now I have it alerting me every time the ROG swift is in stock somewhere, even though I'm not buying it yet.

If you can get the n6 with an upgrade, I'd do that in a heartbeat. I'm still deciding whether or not to shell out the $700+ for the 64gb n6, or just going with the moto x

anyone get to test out the new dynamic super resolution feature? There is a new driver enabling it for fermi and kepler cards.

Yeah I've been using it since I got the 980s. It's alright. Helps aliasing in some games and is unnoticeable in others. You can do it to your desktop too, but it looks like garbage. Try it out in Watch Dogs and see what happens.

Stopped reading it there.

How does it compare to higher resolutions since they are claiming it simulates 4k or something like that. Massive performance hit?

It takes the performance hit you'd expect from 4K gaming. It actually renders the frames in 4k (or whatever resolution you choose) and downsamples it. It's the same concept as SSAA in Metro (although supersampling is slightly more complex than straight up down-sampling), or the "ubersampling" you see in The Witcher 2. There's always been a way to do it in games with workarounds and third-party software, but this just adds it natively in NVIDIA control panel.

AC: Unity PC specs rumored
Look, another ubisoft game that probably only runs average on high end hardware.

7970 minimum?

It won't use more than 4 cores, guaranteed.

now confirmed


The maximum requirements never mean anything to me but the minimum is laughable. I'm having trouble seeing any way at all this game doesn't run like shite.

If I end up getting a gsync monitor I could very well be locked into Nvidia.

The thing I hate about these cards as a water cooler is that there is no benefit to these blocks. The voltage and power sliders just don't go high enough to be really all that fun for overclocking. Custom bioses are being worked on, though. Nvidia made it harder this time to not only mod the bios, but also flash the modded one.

Something Apple would do.
